Customers like the color of the product. For example, they say it gives a nice natural sheer color, adds a refreshed, healthy sunkissed glow, and is slightly more natural looking. That said, some say the color is a pretty berry red that is not flattering on all. That being said, most find it easy to work with, perfectly pigmented, and subtlely enhances their lip color. They also say the product is fantastic to combine with different colored lipsticks, and doesn't leave color on cups or on their husband's lips.

My favorite lip stain
5 Stars
My favorite lip stain
I first discovered theBalm Stainiac when I got a sample in my Birchbox. This is my all-time favorite lip stain and I've tried a lot! I'm a redhead so it's hard to pick a lip color that won't clash with my hair. This just enhances your natural skin tone to make it feel natural.I use it daily in the mornings. Once it dries, I'll apply a layer of chapstick to keep them moisturized. If I'm going out at night and want a bolder look, I'll apply two or three layers to get it darker.
Thank you for your feedback

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2024
I have bought this lip stain many times from other sellers and it's been great. But, this seller sent a used, old, goopy product with hardly anything in the tube. Do not buy from this seller!
