Cherry Crush Lip & Cheek Stain

Comments about Stila Cherry Crush Lip & Cheek Stain:

I absolutely love this product. It is very natual looking and feels like you are wearing nothing at all. You can increase the color intensitiy by applying more if desired. I use for both cheek and lip color. Top off with some lip gloss for a dressier look. I have already gone through 3 of these in a year...I use it almost every day.

I use this as a quick way to get a natural flush of color. It's sheer, with excellent staying power and looks completely natural (as long as you get the right color for your skin tone, of course). You can wear it with bare skin to the gym, with only a light dusting of powder for around town or with full makeup for an evening out. You can absolutely wear it anytime, anywhere. Be careful when applying for the first time, since it can be a little tricky to get the blending just right and even on both sides if you've never used a stain. I'd recommend a "practice run" before getting ready to go out for real, since any goofs will require makeup remover and a full redo of the area where the stain was applied (I say this from experience). If using your fingers to apply from the brush and blend, have makeup remover handy, as it will take this also to remove the stain from from your fingers. Other than those little things, it's my new favorite thing! Like I said, I've got a huge "crush" on my Cherry Crush!

I really like this -- it's a bit pricey, but it's a great alternative to lipstick, which rubs off way too easily and looks like makeup even in the best of times. Lip stain blends into the skin for a natural look. The only catch to that is if you get the wrong color for your skin tone, it looks strange simply BECAUSE it's supposed to look like natural pigmentation. At least in my book. I bought the CHERRY, and it's a bit dark for me, but I still like it and I received compliments the day I wore it to work. :-)

For extra long lasting color, apply lipstick over

This so-called lip-stain is an absolute waste of money! How can anyone say it is long-lasting on lips? It came off almost completely the first time I ate, and by lunch it was completely gone, except for a lasting dryness- no color! The whole reason I bought this was because of the long-wearing claims; I put on my makeup in the morning, and I do not want to think about it again until I wash it off at night. I had been using Revlon Colorstay Overtime for years, and it works, but I wanted to change to a product not tested on animals. The only problem with this one is that it just flat out doesn't work. Guess I'll keep searching.

Stayed on 6am-6pm. Pretty color. To get this stuff to work like it's meant to, do this: Turn the bottom till just before the product starts to show thru the bottom part of the brush. You can bend the brush with your finger or on your lip to press it out. You need VERY little to go a long way. It is a liquid stain, meant to stay so that's why it won't moisturize on its own! I use the brush to get it to the outline of my lips, then use my pinky to spread out a THIN layer till it's as pink/red as I desire. Let it dry, then all you need is to gently apply chapstick a few times a day to keep the color and stay moisturized. I like to use the ChapStick brand in cherry over it. I chose the cherry color lipstain because it makes my natural lip color a little stronger. Wash off that pinky after or it will stain! :-)

I really wanted a stain for under my gloss... very disappointed with this one.

I've been using this product since my sophomore year in high school (2009/2010) and back then, I loved how natural this product looked in comparison to my skin tone. I'd consider myself a deep caramel color, and this looks very natural on me. It's the icing on the cake for my everyday makeup. When I use foundation, it makes my face all one color (obviously haha) so to add a bit more color to my face, I use this on my lips and sometimes on my cheeks if I don't feel like using my other MAC blush.

You DO have to keep applying it as the day goes on because it doesn't really last very long and you also have to keep applying chapstick because it doesn't moisturize your lips at all.

But all in all, it's a really great product for your everyday makeup routine.
