As party season kicks into high gear, the last thing you want to worry about is reapplying your lipstick between bites of hors d'oeuvres. Not only is it inconvenient, it's also a surefire way to burn through your favourite tube in no time. What you need is a lip product that hydrates while staying put through every toast and canapé. And we're introducing some fresh contenders: lip tints and lip stains that are lightweight, buildable and formulated to last well into the wee hours. These are the must-buys our editors at Tira swear by when they need to skip the reapplication routine.
While heavy-duty mattes have a well-earned place in your lipstick kit, there is no denying the appeal of a lightweight lip tint on busy mornings. The Face Shop’s cherry-hued tint will have you ready in two ticks, promising a gel-like, non-greasy formula and a transfer-proof finish throughout the day.
