Most Helpful Positive Review Moisturizing & The Moist Long Lasting! I am obsessed with this lip stain!! It is so moisturizing and literally does not come off!! I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner with snacks in between and it was just as vibrant as when I first applied! I am IN LOVE!!! Thank you for this complimentary gift Influenster!
Most Helpful Critical Review Amazing! Just avoid humidity Loved application and color. Easy to put in amd doesn't burn. But I stepped into the thick humidity and it broke up by the time I made it to the grocery store. Will be great for winter or places like CO. I received this product free for testing (therefore I tell the truth).

The stain is really watery and comes with a stiff brush in the vial. The brush splattered the stain on my new white top, and it won't wash out. the color of the stain was not the red that was pictured, it was a medium pink.
Nice formula, wrong color 4

Been looking for the right lip stain for a while. This is a pricey one, but it lasts pretty long so I'm happy about that. However, I first ordered the Rose color and it was way too pink on my skin. I'm a golden red head so cool tones, especially cool pinks, don't work on me. I reordered the Red color and it is MILES better as far as a complementary shade on my skin tone. Definitely buildable - but even one swipe gives a nice flush. It has a thick watery texture and lasts long - much better than other stains I've tried. Only cons to it are that while it's drying on my lips, they feel a little numb. I'd like to think that's because there's some plumping action happening but who knows? Also, while it's drying, it feels a little tacky on your lips. But that goes away too. It's a small bottle for the price but the amount of product you need for the flush is minimal so I imagine it will last long. While it doesn't feel overly drying on my lips, I do feel like I need to add a touch of balm once it dries. I thought I would like the applicator more... it's a brush instead of a wand. But the bristles are stiff so it goes on more like a line than a swipe. I'd still say it's a good buy - I'm happy with the new color.
Hold it down!!Yessss!! 4

I work a busy 12 hour shift, no time to stop and freshen up lip stain. Between wearing a mask and constantly on the go; this lip stain remained faithful and held it color and stayed put. I am buying all the colors this lip stain has to offer!! Great job Clarins!!!
disappointed 3
lbuclaire from Chicago, IL
I really wanted to love this product. I have other Clarins items and the idea of a lip stain made me want to try this. I got the red one but it looked more orange than red. The brush made it awkward to apply because its watery. The stain clung to any dry skin I had on my lips and just did not look good. Overall this did stay on which is what I was hoping with having to wear a mask these days but dealing with the other issues I had with it was not worth it and I returned it.
The search is over!!! 5

For years I'm looking for a lip color that is longwear but lightweight and looking natural. This is it!!! I'm very contented. I just prep my lip using lip perfector then let it sit for few minutes then put this MAGIC stain :D ta-da! Perfect lip creation.
so vibrant 5
LD from Fayetteville
I bought Red Water and it is very vibrant. The brush tickled my lips and I thought it would be difficult to put on but I was wrong. It was very easy to control and I could wipe away any mistakes before it dried.
It did take a few minutes to completely dry. Also, I did experience an mild tingling sensation as it was drying. The color lasted all day! It never smudged off, minus a small amount of undried stain did rub off on my mask. However, after completely drying it was mask-proof!! I pair this with my favorite Lip Butter by Tree Hut for a soft finish.
At the end of the day only a small amount in the center of my lips seemed to be missing color, but not enough to look off-putting.
Perfect with a mask! 5
Debbie LT from Mpls., MN
This better than Clarins says it is! Not sticky, perfect natural flush of color...and doesn't rub off. This should be in every makeup bag...more colors please...
Love it even though I didn't think I wojld 5
Chandler0704 from Tennessee
I bought this product bc I am always looking for a color that stays on and doesn't stain my ever present mask. I was delightfully surprised with this. I put it on and it felt like water but was a nice pretty pink that was natural looking. I use it regularly.
Great product 5
shar from California
This is the best lip tint. Great, long-lasting color. Doesn't get chunky and gross like a long-wearing lipstick. The only con is that it DEFINITELY dries out your lips. That said, I'm on my fourth tube.
Didn't last too long but did not dry out my lips, very pink 4
kurgyd from NC
This product is very watery but I liked it. I put it on before going to work but it was gone by the end of my 8 hour shift. Did not dry out my lips. The Rose Water color is very pink, but now I only apply a small amount and it looks like young healthy lips but I have to reapply at least 3 times during the day. Over all a good product but wish it would last longer for the price.
LOVE IT 5
Sharyn from Texas
I was on a hunt for a lip stain before I settled on Clarins. Let me tell you, this product is amazing! I also bought the Honey comfort lip oil from Clarins as well for a more plump look. It literally stays all day and doesn't transfer! You can kiss your boyfriend/girlfriend, eat, whatever! If you have dry lips I recommend you use a lip scrub first before using this. I got this in orange water and just bought red water. It's pricey but so worth it, and because it's a water lip stain it will last you a while. It's also buildable and very pigmented, and smells soooo good!
Tastes great 5
Lauralyn from Houston,TX
Even with mask on still gives lips some color plus it tastes and smells great too.Just apply light coat and wait to dry,won't leave a mark on the mask.COVID 19 beauty friendly.
Not so sparkle 5
5 Inheels from New York, NY
This is my 6 bottles. But this time I purchased the Rose water Sparkle. It is not sparkle except the cap of the bottle. It is still a good product that lasts all day on your lips. The sparkle version is slightly lighter than the original version.
Awesome color 5
Kate m from Philadelphia
This lip stain is beautiful, it's the first time my lips have had color all day without having to reapply. The stain works with your natural lip color to leave the vibrant shade and then I top with lip oil to give it a perfect shine!
The real deal 5
Amy from Omaha
I tried a product by a different brand that said it was a stain, but it absolutely wasn't. This absolutely is a stain. Does not transfer, can build on the color, and it was still on when I woke the next day.
Good stain. I use it along with a gloss for a topper. 4
A from CA
Use it as a base with a SmashBox gloss on top
I love this lip stain! 5
Kara9 from Neenah, WI
I purchased this lip stain in Rosewater, and it's a beautiful color with long-lasting stain. It's perfect to go under lipstick, or even by itself. I use it daily now, and it has survived well into happy hour after work! Would highly recommend!

Recommend this product 5
Kate from Augusta, Ga
I like this stain. It last for many hours and doesn't smear. Was still on my lips when I woke up and it wasn't on my pillow. Although I put a gloss over it, it's not drying like most stains are.
Honestly, not bad 4
Blonelender from IN
This is truly a lip stain. The brush makes it a bit difficult to apply, but once it's on, it's on. I easily got 8 hours of wear from this, even with eating and drinking. It's a bit sheer, so don't expect coverage like a lipstick. It feels like nothing on your lips... it's not drying, it's not moisturizing, it's not even noticeable. I put the NARS lip gloss over it for moisture and shine and loved it. If you're looking for a demi permanent all day color, this will work.
Disappointed 1
EmyA from OH
This tint DOESNT do what it says! It's supposed to be long wear and "last 300 kisses"!! Seriously? IT LITERALLY FADES AWAY IN 30 MINUTES! It stayed on the corners of my lips as if I ate it, and believe me that didn't look nice! I'm so disappointed with this product! It's like I threw my money in the trash!
Love it! 5
Fan from Kcmo
Apply 1 layer in the morning when I don't want full lip stick, and love it. Gives me color without looking made up for natural a natural look. Definitely part of my morning routine now!
Great alternative to lipstick 5
Kaskade27 from Raleigh, NC
So I got a sample "Red water" lip stain and it looks as if I drank a lot of kool aid. You have to add a lip gloss on top so it can look like you're wearing lipstick. The stain lasted most of the day. Not crazy about the color but I love the fact that I don't have to keep applying it on like I would with lipstick.
Vibrant and Long Lasting 4
karmatrue from Long Island
I received the Rose water color as part of my Birchbox subscription. It's not the color I would prefer but it is vibrant and lasts all day long. I recommend only using a little at first. It has a very cooling effect as you put it on and it dries rather quickly. Be careful not to go outside your desired lip area or be prepared to wash it off. I got dinner in my finger and it stained it. Overall I love the product and will consider buying a color I would prefer more.
