A lip stain or liquid lipstick are my absolute go-tos, and as I have lips that are sensitive to anything too drying, I’ve tentatively tested a lot of them to find the ones that are worthy of a place in my makeup draw.

A good lip stain will need touching up infrequently, shouldn’t feather or bleed out of the lip line and can be applied precisely without the need for a lip liner.
