NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Lip IV Hydrating Glossy Lip Stain, Long-Lasting, Tinted, Vegan Formula with 12 HR Hydration - Hydra Honey (Brown)

This product is actually really pleasing. I was skeptical at first because I was looking for a stain that doesn't bleed. This isn't listed as a stain but a gloss and has great reviews with stain quality. It provides great moisture with no bleeding effects 👏 Acts like a gloss then as the day goes and you drink fluids or have a smooch it softly blend out into a beautiful hydrated color. Still sticky at first because it is a gloss but only until it settles.

Instant favorite, I want to put this on all the time! I usually dislike lipgloss, and bought this because I wanted a stain that didn't feel as dry as some do. But the gloss is also fantastic -- it doesn't have that sticky feel, it doesn't attract hair, and it feels so incredibly hydrating from the minute I put it on. It does very slightly feather into my vertical wrinkles around my mouth (they are fairly deep, since I'm nearly fifty and smoked most of my life), but nothing near as much as other glossy lipsticks and glosses, and I have to really examine myself up close to even notice. If I wipe off the gloss after ten minutes to just wear the stain, it doesn't look like it went into those lines at all. The stain lasts me about 8 hours (depending on what I eat -- greasy things will ofc remove it faster), but I honestly want to reapply the gloss at that point anyway. It also comes off evenly -- I haven't had the issue of color staying bright and solid all around my lips, but being gone in the middle. The smell (and taste) is similar to coconut oil -- faint coconut, and very "natural" -- not the cloying fake coconut smell you get in some cosmetics. With its being so hydrating (I feel it work better than most of my lip care products, including the famous LaNeige lip sleeping mask -- and yeah, I tried putting it on before bed, and the glossy look and hydrating feeling were still there the next morning), and so versatile, I think this is about the best value for your money you can get. Small downside: the color swatches don't feel super accurate -- even those where they show all colors on different skin tones. I expected this to be a bit more muted and more pink, and instead this color ended up being bright red, like a true bright red lip, which is a bit less wearable. The stain is fine, but also veers red. I have pale olive skin, and my lips aren't very naturally colored, so any stain definitely shows up bright, and that's fine, but a red lip isn't always the best choice for a daytime look, so I wish the name and the swatches would be a little more accurate. I will be buying more colors, though, cause I love it just that much.

I really like the formula of this lip stain. It goes on smooth, feels hydrating, and gives a nice glossy finish without being too sticky. It last a really long time too! The only thing to note is the shade. “Red-y Set Wet” looks more like a true red online, but on me it pulls more pink than expected. It’s still a pretty color, just not the classic red I was going for. Overall, great product if you like a comfortable, glossy stain, just keep in mind the color may not be as red as it appears.

This is my first lip gloss/stain ever so I did a lot of research before buying it and boy did it pay off! I'm obsessed with this lip stain. When freshly applied it creates a smooth layer that feels very nice and hydrating. Once blotted it leaves a beautiful stain that looks very natural, stays all day, doesn't transfer and survives lunch and coffee. My lips are usually a bit dry, but after three days of using this lip stain they feel much softer. I was a bit concerned about the coconut scent that some of the reviewers mentioned, but I barely notice it during the application and don't feel it during the day at all. Love it!

The product is good and I like it a lot. Moisturizing, leaves a nice color after. Not terribly long lasting but you only need to retouch once or twice during the day. BUT, the colors are not as shown. I've ordered two now that are just a shade / tone off from what is in the picture. One was a dramatic difference - the drippin' rose is definitely more of a reddish brown. Regardless, all of the colors are one color while wet, fading to about the same tint when dry. I am keeping and using them - a very nice product actually.

Love!!!!! Omg 1st the applicator that wand is the perfect shape for straight lines and holds a lot of product huge fan of that. 2nd the colors are amazing. Definitely my favorite is pedal pourin really close to my natural lip color. 3rd The gloss is definitely lip hydrating I have really big lips and it’s hard to keep my lips moisturized, but I’ve noticed that with this gloss my lips are hydrated at least eight hours of the day. When the gloss does rub off from eating or drinking, the stain on the lips is perfect and lips are still hydrated. I’m very impressed I’m a super huge fan of this product. definitely will keep buying more.

The gloss on this product is gorgeous at first, but you can also wipe it off and have a lip stain that will last until the next afternoon! The color only fades when I wipe my face. Other lip tints make my lips look chapped, but I’ve never had an issue with this one. Longevity is incredible, hydration is amazing!

I really like this lip stain! I've tried so many different ones. This is a great neutral -- your lips but better color. Top pic is about a half hour after applying and second one is after coffee and lunch. Color was still there! I was impressed. The gloss stayed longer than many others I've tried as well, I would say, a couple hours. I already bought another one so I can keep one at home and one in my purse. I want to try some other colors too!
