The latest buzz in the beauty world is a drugstore gem that is quietly making waves and is poised to become the next cult-favorite makeup essential. The wet n wild Perfect Pout Lip Liner Stains made their debut on the brand’s Instagram back in February, but since then, there hasn’t been much buzz surrounding them.
Recently, these lip stains have started appearing on shelves of various retailers, with Walmart being one of the first to stock them. Intrigued by the idea of a $5 lip stain, I decided to give them a try without any preconceived notions.
The wet n wild Perfect Pout Lip Liner Stains are liquid lip stains that promise transfer-proof, long-lasting wear. Despite the initial launch featuring only three shades, the absence of neutral shades is a bit surprising.
The applicator of these lip liner stains is designed for precision, with a flat side for filling in the lips and a fine edge for lining. The liquid formula glides smoothly and allows for blending before it sets, giving you time to create your desired look.
What sets these lip stains apart is their ability to stay put for hours on end. I was pleasantly surprised by their longevity, as they held up through meals, drinks, and everyday wear without smudging or fading.
For the best results, it’s recommended to prep your lips before application by exfoliating and hydrating them. This ensures a smooth and even application, enhancing the stain’s longevity.
In terms of application, I found that creating a thicker outline and blending the color towards the center of the lips resulted in a natural, “just-bitten” look. Layering multiple coats may lead to patchiness, so a light-handed approach is key.
Despite their affordable price point, these lip stains deliver on performance, making them a standout addition to my makeup routine. I’m hopeful that wet n wild will expand the shade range in the future, as the ease of use and quality make them a go-to option for everyday wear.
If you’re on the hunt for these elusive lip stains, they can be found at select retailers like Walmart and Amazon. Keep an eye out for them, as they tend to go in and out of stock. Additionally, you can order them directly from wet n wild’s website, though availability may vary.
