theBalm® cosmetics Stainiac

You wouldn’t know it from the state of our makeup drawer, but we’re actually beauty minimalists. Our motto: Why use two products when you can get the same effect with one? This two-in-one lip and cheek stain gives us a natural, understated flush and helps us get out the door faster. The gel formula looks dark in the tube but delivers a sheer tint. It comes in three shades that complement all skin tones: Beauty Queen is a magenta-toned pink, Prom Queen is a lovely rose pink, and Homecoming Queen is a dewy peach.

Great color!

I've never used a lip stain before and this one was great, it stayed for a while and didn't look fake.

Great product!

I love this product. I am new to a stain, but this color is versatile and light, while still tinting my lips without looking overdone. Very moisturizing!

Love this

I do not like wearing lipstick, but I have very pale skin colored lips. I prefer to use chapstick, but have never liked the colored chapsticks. With stainiac I can get the color I want and cover it with my favorite chap stick and I am good to go.

Perfect Tint

I love this product! The color is great and it stains the perfect amount! I have used it on my cheeks but mostly us on my lips, with a little bit of gloss for some shine.

Great for natural days

I bought this after sampling it through Birchbox. I finished my sample and still loved it!

You can wear this as a cheek stain with or without any sort of face makeup. My daily routine is tinted moisturizer, and this works great on top of that!

I also wear it on my lips from time to time- you can layer for as dark a look as you want. Great product!

wonderful!

i love this. it is the perfect color and stays on forever. I swear. The little sample lasted me forever. you can wear it alone or wear a gloss over it. Either way looks fab!

Love the Beauty Queen!

I love this product (in the Beauty Queen shade). It gives me a very natural, healthy blush, as if I've just exercised a bit. And as a 44-year-old woman, I find this gives me a more youthful appearance than powder blush does. I usually apply a bit to my finger and then put it on my cheeks, as that allows more precise application, because as a stain it of course sets quickly!

Use daily!

It gives my lips the most perfect color without needing lipstick. I add gloss and go! It stays on longer than any other lip stain I've used. Great product!

Love it

Got this as a sample in my Birchbox last summer and ordered a full-size. Stays on better than most other lipsticks. Recommended.

Not too much color

This product was just right for me. I never use color on my lips but this always me to put just a touch on to give me a glow. So happy I bought it!
