Between viral products, celebrity brands and our general obsession with all things beauty, finding space in our cabinets and makeup bags is proving a perennial problem.
For that very reason (and the subsequent benefit of our wallets) there’s nothing we love more than a hard-working, multi-purpose product, namely a lip and cheek stain.
Not only does this three-in-one product (we can’t forget the lids) save space, it’s made for perfectly put together uniform looks, no-makeup-makeup and those short on time.
While creamy formulas are ideal for creating a full flush, lightweight stains will give a soft, dewy glow.
Below we round up the best lip and cheek stains and tints in all variations and formulas.
