HOW TO WEAR IT “If a stain is pure liquid, you can put it on with a cotton swab, dabbing it on the mouth,” says makeup artist Gabriel Almodovar. “If the stain is cream-based, put it on like a creamy gloss and when the gloss wears off you have the remnants of the stain left behind.” PRODUCT TO TRY “If you want to achieve a very natural look, just dab the stain on with your finger onto wet lips,” says makeup artist Sammy Mourabit, who is a fan of inexpensive brands when it comes to lip stains. At less than $10, this AE one fits the bill.
