How Wearable Are Lip Stains Really? R29 Staffers Put 4 To The Test

If you've been on TikTok lately (and let's face it, it's endlessly addictive) you might have spotted the app's beauty obsessives fawning over one particular makeup product. Whether it's the peelable lip tint from Wonderskin or the controversial latest stains from Huda Beauty, TikTokers can't get enough of the all-day wearability of this viral beauty product.

Lip stains are nothing new, of course, but it's fair to say they're staging a comeback. Big time. The lure of high-impact pigment and staying power (with very low effort and skill required) is arguably why lip stains and tints are so popular right now. Old-school classics like Benetint are cycling back into popularity, while brands like Fenty Beauty and Clairns have unveiled their own unique takes.

But how wearable are lip stains really? Those who dabbled years ago might remember that there was no room for mistakes. Just like the name suggests, the pigment really stuck around, and if you weren't too keen on the final result, well, it was kinda tough.

R29 staffers put four trending lip stains to the test. Here are their unfiltered thoughts.
