I can’t imagine life before lipsticks, but if you’re on the other side of the spectrum, I feel you. I spent 22 years of my life saying NO to lipstick. If you’re one of those people who hates wearing lipstick, it’s completely okay! There are tons of best lip stains and lip and cheek tints for you to choose from. They offer you a subtle flush of colour that looks almost natural and like you’ve just bitten your lips! Lip stains add a little colour to your lips without making them feel dry and chapped unlike most liquid lipsticks, which leave behind dry and flaky skin on your lips. Lip stains and tints, on the other hand, have an almost water-like formula. They absorb into the lips leaving behind the slightest tint. They’re also perfect for a no-makeup day!
There are a lot of brands that make lip tints, some of them are just a lip tint while others are multi-purpose. You can use a lip and cheek tint on your lips, cheeks and even eyelids! These are 5 of the best lip and cheek tints you can get your hands on!
1. Benefit Cosmetics Benetint Rose-Tinted Lip & Cheek Stain
The OG lip and cheek tint was curated by Benefit. This one is the perfect rosy-red tint that’s perfect for everyday wear. Apply it on your lips, cheeks and eyelids for the cutest-freshest glow. Oh, and it also claims to be kiss-proof. Sounds like the perfect date night lipstick to me! *wink*
2. Incolor Wine Lip Tint – 02 Plum Glaze
Do you love the colour your lips turn after a nice glass of red wine? This lip tint is exactly that. And the packaging looks like a wine bottle too. It’s a win-win situation!
3. The Face Shop Watery Tint Lip Stain
Reds and pinks not your style? If your lips are slightly on the peachy-coral side, use a coral lip tint like the shade Coralster. It’s going to give your lips just the right amount of colour. Use the teensiest bit if you’re trying to keep it natural!
4. YBP Color Cream – The Witch
This is quite a unique product, it comes out as a pigmented cream and blends into a sheer wash of colour. As the name suggests, it’s a colour cream and it can be used on the lips, eyes and cheeks. The shade, The Witch is a peachy-nude that’s quite flattering on most skin tones. If you’re on the hunt for your MLBB (my lips but better) shade, this is it!
5. MyGlamm’s Tint It Up – Flushed
If you’re looking to step out of your comfort zone for a wee bit, this lip stain has a beautiful reddish-pink tint to it. It’s going to leave your lips looking irresistible without the heavy, cakey feeling of a lipstick!
