I love matte lip stains. Bye.
But actually, this is a makeup trend that is HUGE right now and I am totally, beyond okay with it. Companies that have been huge for a long time like Too Faced and companies that are new to the scene like Limecrime (!!!) are selling matte lip stains in a million different shades and they are flying off the shelves. I will proudly admit that I have been a part of their success because I just can't get enough of them. I am all for lip colors that last through my 10 hour school days without having to be touched up.
So, for this post, I swatched some of my favorite lip stains that I own, and I will include every last detail about them so you can all take enjoyment in things like these. That was a little deep considering its just makeup, but once you find that one holy grail product (my Limecrime lip stains<3) you just can't help but share it with the world.

I wish I could tell you that they had some really cute, creative names, but that's all that's on the bottle. But, you can get them at Sephora and for $13 each, you might as well buy every single color. If you are looking for a good lip stain that doesn't break the bank, but does the job, these are definitely your go-to.

So, these two... I'm still not super sure what I think about them yet. They don't dry as matte as I want them too, but they still last a super long time, and stick even throughout eating and drinking. I think if you're looking for a good lip stain that's matte with just the tiniest bit of shine, these are your products. I'm still playing around with them, so maybe my opinion will be changed. Secret tip though.. ;) I've actually used the pink one as a cheek stain and it looked SO pretty with a iridescent highlighter dusted on top of it. :)
These are $21 each and you can get them at Sephora, Ulta, and any other retailers where Too Faced Cosmetics are sold.

... Lord knows I don't even know what to say about these babies. If you haven't heard of Limecrime yet, then get your mind right (s/o to Corina for that one). It is an up and coming company that right now, is most famous for it's matte lip stains they call "Velvetines". And for good reason too. These lip stains are, in my mind, the perfect matte lip stain. They come in unique shades such as brown (pictured), black, and bright purple. They also lasted through my 10 hour school day and I get compliments on them every time I wear them :) Because of the high demand, they are hard to get these days, but you can view all the shades, look at the full spectrum of their products, and order them off of limecrime.com. Select shades are also available at Urban Outfitters and Nasty Gal.
