Good lip stain?

I'm a bit rubbish with lipstick as I find it a faff to reapply it during the day and I also feel a bit too made up wearing it.

So, I was wondering whether anyone could recommend a lip stain - I have pale skin, green eyes, browny-red hair (a technical term! ) and would wear it with minimal make-up (mascara, a bit of blusher, powder/concealer where needed).

I would love one in a dark pinky/red shade.

Benefit lip tint.

It can also be used as a blusher too.

Thanks NdP - I've had this before and loved it for cheeks but can't imagine using it for my lips. Surely it would come off really easily?

Sounds like you've got lovely colouring . I've got a really nice Estee Lauder one but not sure if they still do it. Benefit have brought out a new one called Posie Tint which is more pink and less red than Benetint. Haven't tried it but it's meant to be good.

On the cheaper side, Bourjois have got a new range of lip stains. Can't remember what they're called but there are about 5 different colours. I got one which looks like a scary orange but is actually quite flattering coral on.

I'd recommend the Bourjois one too - the nice corally shade with a slick of lip balm over the top for 'shine'

Benetint is also good but very red ! Will look out for the Posie Tink though !

Thanks Rosa! (I'll keep quiet about the industrial amounts of under-eye gloop I need at the moment due to a 10wk old baby then!! )

Will definitely check out the Bourjois one, thanks!
