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 was really excited to use this product after its release. The applicator was easy to use and the shape made filling and defining my lips simple. The color was a perfect neutral bold red (not too pink in undertones) and the application of the stain was even. The stain does not have a weird taste or burning sensation like some stains do. Unfortunately, this formula has zero staying power and does not last at all. I even tried exfoliating and giving it about twenty minutes of dry-down time. It will not stay on my lips.

Very long lasting and so pretty! It does not transfer and I can be confident my lips look pretty all night.

After a week of use it felt like it was starting to dry out and not leave very much color on my lips which is too bad since the price is 25$ the stain itself lasted a few hours it is easy to apply compared to other lip stains as the tip is very thin.

I bought the shade Susan. It looks like vibrant magenta but when applied it looks more like a dark rose color. I like the color. Its easy to use and I really love the concept of how they made the pen so its easy to line your lips and fill them in. My lips are naturally wrinkly and dry so unfortunately the lip stain grabitated to every crevice. This is noticable in certain spots because it causes the color to be uneven. I dont consider myself to have mature skin, (Im 38) but the stain feathered at my lip line and I'm not sure how to stop it from doing that since the product is so liquidy. It's almost like using an alcohol based marker. I like this product but dont know if I'll buy more.

This is a lip stain with a brush that can also line the lips. Stays on well, great colors, doesn’t smear. I usually put a bit of gloss over it but also looks good matte. Vibrant colors make my teeth look whiter!

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.

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
