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.

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!
