Lip Liner Stain
A lip liner stain is not an ordinary lip liner. Where a classic lip liner keeps sitting on top of your lips, a stain leaves colour behind in the lip contour — it sinks in and stays there for hours, even after coffee, food and drinks. No more touching up halfway through the day, and no lip liner "floating" around your lips once the rest has worn away.

Peel off lip liner or tattoo lip liner?
There are roughly two kinds. A peel off lip liner goes on as a gel, dries for a few minutes and then peels off: what is left behind is the colour itself. Think of the Makeup Revolution Lip Shift Ink and the Trouble Maker Genius. A tattoo lip liner or ink stain sinks in straight away without a peeling step — the Catrice Precision Ink, the NYX Lip Lingerie and the Essence Line 'n Stain Tattoo work that way. Both give the same result: a contour that stays.
How do you apply a lip liner stain?
Start with clean, dry lips; a stain grips badly on a layer of balm. Draw the line along your natural lip contour, or just a hair's width outside it if you want your lips to look fuller. With a peel off version you let it dry completely before you peel — peeling too early costs you the colour. After that you can leave it as it is, or wear a lipstick, lip gloss or lip oil over the top.
Lip liner stain or lip stain?
The difference is in the area. A lip liner stain is for the contour: a pen or fine applicator you draw a line with. A lip stain colours your whole lip and comes in a pot, tint or jelly. If you just want a long-lasting line under your gloss, then the lip liner stain is what you're after. Looking for a classic pencil liner without the stain effect, then have a look at lip liner.
