For a low-fuss yet luscious pout that requires minimal maintenance and a natural finish, look no further than THE ICONIC’s range of Lip Stain & Tint products. With an ever-growing assortment from leading local and international beauty brands, finding your holy grail lip makeup has never been easier.
Lip tints and lip stains are the ultimate hassle-free alternative to traditional lip products but in the age-old lip stain vs lip tint debate, which is right for you? For cushiony softness that combines the gentle hydration of a balm but with a subtle hint of colour, opt for a lip tint like the Clinique Chubby Stick Lip Balm or Clarins Comfort Oil. Often in a portable stick or twist-top applicator, lip tints are perfect for topping up your pout with subtle colour throughout the day. A perfect weapon in your makeup arsenal, we’re making the Bobbi Brown Extra Lip Tint permanent in our handbags for a your-lips-but-better finish.
For those natural makeup lovers after an all-in-one product, look to a lip and cheek tint like the Ere Perez Carrot Colour Pots for a rosy flush of blush, or the Bene Tint Benefit Cosmetics has become famous for. For a lip tint Korean makeup artists swear by, look to the lip tint peel-off formulas that leave a perfect subtle colour behind. Lip tints can be enriched with ingredients like arnica, argan, vitamin E and naturally-derived oils to offer a nourishing quality with each application. Swap out your usual lip balm for a lip tint from the likes of Silk Oil Of Morocco or Grown Alchemist for skin-loving benefits with the added bonus of beautiful colour.
For longwearing colour that’s both comfortable and customisable, opt for a lip stain. Brands like Eye of Horus have perfected the lip stain through their signature Velvet Lips formula, which is designed to nourish and repair your pout while imparting smudge-proof, long-lasting colour. Lip stains can be both subtle and deeply pigmented, letting you choose the intensity of the shade with each application. For a more subtle lip tint tattoo look, delicately pat a matte lip stain like the Estee Lauder Pure Color Whipped Matte Lip Color on the centre of your pout with your ring finger and build to your desired opacity.

How long does a lip stain or tint typically last?
Depending on your choice in formulation and application, a lip stain or tint can offer long-lasting colour with hours-long or even all-day wear. A light-handed wash leaves a subtle tint, while layering can help to build intensity for a deeper, stained finish with rich pigment. Lip stains and tints can also be layered underneath lipsticks and lip glosses, ideal for achieving kiss-proof lip colour.
Are lip stains and tints suitable for dry lips?
Lip stains and tints can be suitable for all skin types and concerns, including those with dry lips, designed to be absorbed by the lips to leave behind a pigmented stain or tint. Some formulations are already enriched with moisturising ingredients, such as jojoba, rosehip, avocado, argan and olive oils, offering smooth application, but you can also layer your choice in lip tints and stains with your favourite lip balm or gloss for added hydration throughout the day.
Can I eat and drink while wearing a lip stain or tint?
Many lip stain or tint formulations are designed to offer longwearing coverage, thanks to their pigmented colour, with benefits like kiss-proof staying power. To optimise wear while eating or drinking, you can exfoliate your lips before application, creating a smooth base for the formulation to sink in for maximum payoff. Ensuring your lips stay hydrated throughout the day can also work to preserve colour and help prevent cracking, while reapplication can refresh the stain or tint with a boost of saturation.
