Lip color that won’t leave residue on your coffee mug or fade into nothingness by the end of the day might sound like a pipe dream. But that’s exactly what a great lip stain — one that’s weightless, juicy, and smudge-free — can do.
For our brand-new guide, our beauty experts put 44 lip stains through a lot of snacking, sipping, and even some smooching. Among our favorites is a felt-tip marker that delivers saturated, bold color with just one swipe — and works wonderfully as a liner, too.
