Outlast Lipstain, 30 Iconic Ruby, Smooth Application, Precise Pen-Like Tip, Transfer-Proof, Satin Stained Finish, Vegan Formula, 0.06oz

I have been looking for a dupe of the Anastasia Beverly Hills lip stain in the shade Rosewood for YEARS. I think this Covergirl stain in Sugey Girl is as close as I'm gonna get. The pen style applicator is perfect for someone like me who is always in a hurry and has no time for precision. It goes on feeling almost like a marker; light, no shine, quite dry. I wait for it to set for a few minutes, then dab with balm for moisture and that's it. It doesn't last all day, but touching up is quick. Absolutely perfect for "no makeup" makeup.

Beautiful lip stain with a very natural, flattering color. The pen-style applicator makes it easy to apply precisely, and it glides on smoothly without feeling heavy. It gives the lips a soft stained look that lasts nicely throughout the day. Great quality and a lovely shade that works well for everyday wear.

Review is for Color: 20 Admire Lip stains are my favorite lip product these days, but I am particular about them. I don’t like the types that use a wand and then we dip it into liquid. Since Covergirl Outlast Lipstain is like a marker, I was excited for it. I like using this as my lip liner since it goes well with PH lipsticks by Magic Kiss and MoodMatcher. I don’t see myself using the CG lipstain alone since it’s semi drying and can be patchy. I only have one color so I don’t know if every shade is patchy. To be clear, the lipstain doesn’t cause my lips to be dry. It’s just not moisturizing the lips. Depending on the baseline of your natural lips the experience will be different for everyone. I think CG lipstains are best used with a gloss, topper, or another lipstick to fill in my lips. I apply the lipstain on dry, clean lips. I allow it to fully dry before applying something over it. It's a matte finish. However, nothing is transferproof on my lips including this product since I snack/eat often throughout the day. Transfer is minimal and it doesn’t get messy compared to traditional lipstick. It’s probably long lasting and smudge-proof if you fast. Pigmentation was good. Better than r.e.m. beauty’s lip stain marker. It has a light fruity smell. Almost cotton candy at times. Non-offensive. Not overpowering. I did not notice any bitter taste in my mouth. Made in the USA with imported parts. I really have no complaints about this product besides the color is wrong for me. I chose Admire (20) because I thought it was a lightish pinky mauve. Instead, it’s a dark mauve color like 90’s grunge. A plum shade. Keep in mind I am light-skinned with yellow undertone. It would look different on a deeper skin tone. The swatches/doodling I did on my hand looks lighter than on my lips. It was quite difficult to capture the color accurately in my photos. Hopefully my review is still helpful. I want to order more colors so I’ll update my review in the future. Would I recommend this lippie? It’s definitely not for everyone. It really depends on what you want out of it or expect from it. I have buck teeth and traditional (waxy/creamy) lipsticks always get stuck on my teeth so I find lipstains/PH lipsticks work the best for my type of mouth. My options are kind of limited.

If I could I would give this like a 4.5 stars. It works greats, lasts long; but it does dry out my lips like nothing else. If you use this just make sure to keep a good lip balm on you and/or hydrate. But I love the colors (I got two and they’re so nice before and after removing the stain) and it lasts minimum of 8 hrs (I haven’t worn it longer than that).

Great product! I'm really glad that I ordered this because it works great. I can put it on and it stays on for a while but is much more natural looking than an actual lipstick. I actually ordered a second one because I want to keep one in my purse at morning my makeup bag

i got #10 Sugey Girl. the color is nice but its super dry and very light. have to apply multiple layers to get the color. after few uses it doesn’t apply anymore as if no more product inside the pen.

Major bummer. I was excited to get this lipstain in the Extra Witchy color, but I was shipped a lipstain with the plastic sticker seal already broken as if it has been opened and used already. There were also drops of the stain around the top of the applicator which I would not expect for a brand new unopened product. Clearly had been messed with. : / I know this is the seller/ manufacturer’s fault and not an Amazon worker because the broken-seal lipstain marker was then repackaged in an additional sealed plastic pouch. So, it had been repackaged for sale despite the sticker seal being obviously contaminated. Not sure I will try again to buy these here, even though the other color I got appears to be sealed and unused (I hope), but it was not packaged in an additional clear plastic pouch like the unsealed one. Honestly the factory sticker seal on these seems really insufficient and easily compromised. That’s probably CoverGirl’s fault, overall. But beware. Check your item closely upon receiving! I had to ask Amazon for a refund on this one. Also, the lipstain markers are way skinnier than I imagined, so it’s unlikely you get much product, and they surely would not last through many applications.

Long lasting color. Colors are a bit darker than shown. I bought two shades expecting some discrepancies. I chew lipstick off in about 5 mins this stain lasted the day on me. It feels a little dry. Good news it doesn’t come off with repeated applications of my normal lip moisturizer and looks glossy.
