I haven’t ever really been a “lip stain girl”, but the claims of longevity sucked me right in. I didn’t want to splurge and I had already heard good things about Revlon’s so I picked one up. The stain was easy to apply and not near as drying as I expected. And man, does this stuff wear forever! What a treat to not have your makeup coming off as you sip from a glass.
I found it pretty easy to use, as the pen is tapered and making minor adjustments comes easy. I do recommend a bold color for maximum effect. Layering the pigment will keep the color from appearing splotchy after a couple hours. I find this to be less drying than the other brands I have tested – but it is a stain so the balm step is highly encouraged. My only beef is the cap on the balm always knocks the balm out! So I usually skip and use an alternative lipgloss.
I am going to try this! For some reason, Revlon lipstick works well for me so I think this will be another good score. Thanks for sharing. I’ll let you know what I think.
