Birchbox Breakdown

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.

How it Works

The tinted gel leaves a lasting stain on lips and cheeks. Since it’s water-based, it has a longer setting time than most quick-dry stains, which means it won’t leave any unsightly streaks behind as long as you take care to blend well. Use a single coat for a subtle look or layer it on for a more visible (yet still discreet) hue.

How to Use

The handy wand makes applying this stain a breeze. Swipe onto your lips as you would a regular lip gloss. To use as a cheek stain, smile and dab two or three dots onto the apples of your cheeks. Gently blend the pigment into your cheeks using small circular motions.

Works great!

I love this lip stain because I tend to have pail lips without it so it gives me the color I need and stays on without needing to reapply constantly. And the color looks so natural so it's perfect for everyday use!

Lip stain

I tried this after reading the great reviews and recommendations online and I do like it. The stain is subtle and lasts. You can add a little clear gloss for shine too. I have not tried it on my cheeks yet but in a pinch it would be a great portable for travel.

Confirmed Stainiac Maniac

I love theBalm's Stainiac. The feel, color and staying power is incredible. I love how it melts into the skin and the sheerness allows one to use with other products in a seamless way. It's great as a base for lipgloss or even balm. I can't imagine my make-up bag without Stainiac.

Feeling like a Queen

I love using this product. It can be used as blush or lip stain. It's perfect when you want to use minimal products or stay in the same make up color scheme. You can control the color by building it with multiple applications. I like to use Homecoming Queen as a stain then apply a sheer lipgloss to it.

So natural looking.

This stuff gives you a nice rosy glow. I loved the sample so much, I bought the full size.

The only thing I like better than this is the Glossy Kiss stick sold through Birchbox.

GREAT PRODUCT!

GREAT LIPSTAIN! I WEAR IT ALONE OR ADD A GLOSS TO MAKE IT POP. AS I AGE I HAVE LESS COLOR IN MY LIPS AND STAINIAC GIVES THEM A NATURAL FRESH LOOK.

Great even for fair skinned girls

I have fair skin but this stain still works well on me (I use the darker reddish one)! I like to layer it for a night out with some lip balm for a healthy look. I haven't used it as a cheek stain, but I really enjoy it for lips! Looks very pretty and healthy!
