Why has maroon lip stain become a bold beauty essential?

Maroon lip stain is a simple way to elevate your makeup with minimal effort. If you don't believe us, our experts will vouch for this claim.

This blend of red and brown adds depth and dimension to any look.

Whether you prefer a glossy vibrant or an elegant matte finish, the maroon lip stain carries a touch of originality that works in both day and night makeup routines. The maroon colour:

How do I prep my lips before applying maroon lip stain?

Step 1: Exfoliate — Exfoliate using a gentle lip scrub or exfoliator. Use a damp towel to remove any dry flakes. This gives an even space for the stain to adhere to the skin.

Step 2: Nourish — Pat dry your lips. Avoid rubbing them dry. Apply a nourishing lip balm generously.

Step 3: Blot excess moisture — Let the lips absorb the balm for a few minutes. Then use a soft paper or towel to mop up the excess moisture. This will ensure an even absorption of lip stains.

Step 4: Use a lip primer (optional) — Use a hydrating primer to blur the lines on lips and create an even base for the stain. Your lip stain will stay better and not bleed out of the lip line with this step.

Step 5: Outline the lips — Use a matching shade of maroon lip liner to outline the lips. This will give a sharp and bold finish to the stain.

That's it! Your lips are ready for the lovely maroon stain. Proper lip preparations ensure that the colour stays smooth and looks richer and polished.
