Looking to achieve long-lasting lip color like Billie Eilish? DeBratto’s go-to method for lip stains involves repurposing them as a lip liner for a flawless and mess-free application. Follow these expert tips to nail the perfect look.
When using a lip stain as a liner, opt for a marker or peel-off stain instead of oil-based formulas for a cleaner application. DeBratto recommends products like Palladio’s viral pen or options from Sacheu and Wonderskin. Start by applying the lip stain along the natural contours of your lips, focusing on the cupid’s bow and the base of the bottom lip. The beauty of peel-off stains is that they leave a subtle tint behind, so precision is not crucial.
To enhance longevity and intensify the color, go over the stain with a traditional lip liner. As the liner fades throughout the day, the stain will remain intact, ensuring a beautiful pout all day long.
If you prefer a more subtle look, DeBratto suggests adding a layer of moisturizing lip balm or gloss on top of the lip stain for a softer, diffused finish.
