Lip stain differs from lipstick in the lack of wax; this cosmetic product is designed to stain the lips with color which will be longer lasting, and won’t smudge as easily as a lipstick would. A lip stain can be used as an everyday cosmetic if the color is light or it can be heavily applied to give a greater impact. Lip Stain will let the lip color stay on your lips for a longer time than your lipstick. Lip Stain is a simple substitute for your lipstick.

Lip stain is the next best thing to semi-permanent cosmetics, the kind of procedure that is designed to last for weeks or months. Lip stain may last one 24 hour period. Semi-permanent makeup is designed to last weeks or months.
