Lip stains: The Korean trend to know now

Semi-permanent makeup is the rave-worthy trend of the moment. So it’s little wonder that beauty mavens the world over can’t stop obsessing over the best Korean lip tints and lip stains. Lip tints are typically lighter and less pigmented than stains, but both offer long-lasting alternatives to lipstick.

Lip stains temporarily dye your lips, instead of painting them, letting your natural colour still shine through for the seamless, natural look—even with rich, dark, or brilliant colours. With serious staying power (sometimes up to 24 hours), they won’t rub off or smudge any time soon, making them the modern woman’s dream come true. And many of the innovative formulas today are made with moisturising and conditioning ingredients, so they won’t suck your lips dry like traditional lipsticks of the past. Many lip stains and lip tints come in the shape of a crayon or pencil, ensuring that application is easy and quick anytime, anywhere.

These punchy new pout-perfectors are available in a range of high-pigment colours and finishes when you shop online at Sephora. Hello one-swipe all-day lips, goodbye constant touch ups and reapplications.
