Our experts have the answers to all your lip stain related questions
What is a lip stain?
Lip stains provide long-lasting colour on the lips. Unlike traditional lipsticks or glosses, lip stains are usually water-based or gel-like formulas that absorb into the lips rather than sitting on top of them. The major benefits of lip stains include their ability to provide a long-wearing colour that lasts throughout the day.
Lip stains offer a more subtle and forgiving application, allowing for buildable coverage that enhances the natural lip colour. Their lightweight and non-sticky texture makes lip stains comfortable to wear while providing a matte or semi-matte finish.How to remove a lip stain
Clarins have created several products that can help to remove lip stains effectively.
Total Cleansing Oil
The Total Cleansing Oil by Clarins helps remove lip stain by effectively dissolving and removing the long-lasting colour without drying out the lips. Its gentle yet powerful formula effortlessly eliminates stubborn lip stains while simultaneously nourishing and hydrating the lips.
Cleansing Micellar Water
The Cleansing Micellar Water helps to remove lip stain by using micellar technology to effectively cleanse and dissolve impurities without stripping the skin or leaving residue. Additionally, its gentle formula is specifically designed to remove long-lasting and waterproof lip makeup, ensuring a thorough and easy removal process.
Instant Eye Make-Up Remover
Though primarily designed for eye makeup removal, the Clarins Instant Eye Make-Up Remover can also be used to remove lip stains. It is a bi-phase formula, meaning it combines water and oil-based components. The lip stain can be easily dissolved by the oil-based phase, while the water-based phase helps to refresh and soothe the lips.How to apply a lip stain
To apply a lip stain, start with clean and exfoliated lips - the One-Step Exfoliating Cleanser helps to gently buff and smooth skin on the face and lips. Then, simply take the lip stain applicator or a small lip brush and start by outlining your lips, following the natural shape. Fill in the lips with the stain, ensuring an even application.
For a more intense colour, apply a second coat once the first coat has dried. Blot any excess product with a tissue and avoid rubbing your lips together until the stain has completely dried. Finish by applying a lip balm or lip gloss on top if desired for added hydration and shine.
