stila Calligraphy Lip Stain Long-Lasting Tint, Moisturizing, Transfer-Proof, Lightweight, Sheer Buildable Color, Fades to a Natural Wash of Colors

I love this product. I have mature lips and i can control the natural color bleeding that happens with older lips. It stays and it is a lot less drying than other stains I've had. It is awesome but you have to keep your lips exfoliated and moisturized in order to go on evenly. I wear chapstick over mine. The color is slightly brighter than the swatches although it does fade in a little bit (I have four and this applies to all). The stain is a little shocking at first until it dries but it really is a pretty look. I just ordered the lightest color to see what its like since it looks like nothing and i will review it. I paid a lot for Kat V stain and this is way easier to use and less drying.

I will be so sad if they ever discontinue this lip stain because it is truly the best. You MUST ensure your lips are not chapped though or it goes on very unevenly. I just exfoliate my lips with one of the pre self tanner exfoliation gloves before applying mine to ensure it goes on smoothly. I am 33 and I have thin lips, but this actually makes it look like I have SOMETHING and is better than 4 other lip stains I’ve tried. When I store it, I store it upside down like as if I was about to use it as a writing instrument to keep the pigment at the tip. This makes it last so much longer!

i got this thinking it would be great but unfortunately the color was hideous. it looked like dried ink but a lip stain. it was dry, smelt bad and was actually hard to apply because of the angle of the brush. just didnt love it. gave it one try and said bye bye

When I apply it, it’s really bright colored but then it wears off after a short amount of time. And it dries my lips out. Maybe I chose the wrong color for me, but because it wears off and dries out my lips, I won’t buy it again. Would love to find a lip stain that lasts longer

Very easy application. I love the way it looks and the color is very accurate to what you see. My only issue is that it dries out my lips a bit. Overall it is an amazing lip stain and it lasts all day.

This lip stain does last a long time, but at the price of all moisture that once resided in your lips. Also, don't count on the pigment lasting longest on the parts you want it. Instead it will mostly last around the sides and you will have to make the hard choice of walking around with lipliner lips or reapplying and starting the cycle all over again. Additionally, the one I ordered was a pretty color, but not the color it advertised itself as.

Love this lip stain, no need for lip liner, it doesn't dry my lips at all.

This really has good staying ability. It does feed throughout the day so in the afternoon I often have to reapply. It is also drying so at night it’s good to moisturize after exfoliating. It looks very bright orange, but it settles into a very natural color
