You heard me! Lip gloss is so 2008!

Finally, slick shiny lips are out! It might look amazing on supermodels in those sexy ads- but really, how often does that super shiny lip actually look good in person? Not to mention, if a gust of wind comes or you turn around too quickly your hair gets stuck in it – yuck!

*Oh yea, and bright colored lipstick is out too!

Luckily, this fall it’s all about the new natural-looking lip stains. Lip stains literally stain your lips the color of your choice for a long lasting smudge-proof, melt-proof pout. You can skip the lipstick and gloss altogether! YAY!

All of the cosmetic companies are jumping on this new idea. It’s an absolute must-have for fall!

Why you’ll love it:

  • Use them on lips and cheeks for a natural flushed look!
  • Stains are great for days when you don’t have time for full makeup and just need some quick color, but also add just the right amount of color for a sexy night out!
  • For all you die-hard gloss fans, stains also come in a satin finish for a subtle glow rather than a super shine.
  • Say goodbye to reapplying your lip color throughout the day and say hello to a gorgeous pop of color that lasts!

These stars prove you don’t have to go overboard with bright shiny lips to look sexy:

Bright red, shiny lips always seem like a good idea when you really want to shine…but look at what a difference! Natural lips let people focus on your eyes! SO much better!
