The Best Non-Drying Lip Stains to Try Right Now

Victoria Beckham Beauty Bitten Lip Tint ($36)

Available in three gorgeous shades: Bisou, Cherie and Amour, these ultra luxe lip stains glide on a gel and dry down to a beautiful wash of color. With squalane and hyaluronic acid, they also condition lips while leaving behind a vibrant shade.

Benefit Playtint Cheek and Lip Stain ($18)

A play on the cult-classic Benefit Tint, this pink lemonade–inspired version lasts all day and doesn’t smudge or budge. It feels cool when you swipe it on and has a buildable formula that can take your lips from a natural-looking sheer pink to a bolder, more prominent pout.

Charlotte Tilbury Tinted Love Cheek and Lip Tint ($34)

With vitamin E and hyalruonic acid serving as the main hydrators in this sophisticated formula, it’s easy to forget you’re using a lip stain and not a lip conditioning treatment. That being said, the long-lasting pigment does not disappoint.

BITE Beauty Outburst Longwear Lip Stain ($27)

Intense color payoff plus passionflower oil, coconut oil and sunflower seed oil gives this lippie the feeling of a balm with the longevity of a heavy-duty stain. For the boldest look, apply directly on dry lips with nothing underneath.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Stain ($18)

A little of this stain goes a long way, which is how we like it. Just dab it on (don’t over apply as the formula is watery) and purse your lips together for dramatic, mask-proof color that lasts all day.
