Why stain your lips? Unlike lipstick, stains last a long time (in case you are smooching or drinking martinis). Stains can also give your lips a natural tinted look that enhances the color of your lips rather than just covers them as with glosses or lipsticks. WATCH THE VIDEO FIRST or just read our PICKS below.

Stainiac's The Balm ($14) in Berry Pink 

This product beat out Becca's popular beach tint for us because it isn't drying, doesn't streak, and the color is really pretty for all skin types.

Lip INK ($14.21)

This stain comes from an entire line of cosmetics made for long wearing purposes. The lips of Marilyn Monroe and many Hollywood stars on sets have worn these lip stains because they will last up to 24 hours!

Pixi Lip Blush($10)

What makes this stain stand out is the magic marker applicator that makes putting on the tint so easy and fun. It is also water-based so it gives a smoother glossier effect than the Lip INK, which is alcohol based.

Nars Lip Stain Gloss ($23) in Sayonara

This is Katherine's personal favorite stain. It goes on easy, lasts all day, and the color is to die for. With each layer you add, the intensity of color is heightened.

MAXWear Lip Color ($8.79)

Since Carmen Electra is wearing it, we thought we would try it and well, it made the cut. The MAXWear is great because it is a dual lip stain on one side and a gloss on the other so you don't have to carry both around with you.
