Hi, I'm Christine. I'm a makeup artist, and I'm going to show you how to apply lip stain. I love lip stain. It's something that will stay on your lips all day, and it's easy to use. The things you'll need for this look are some lip stain, and just your basic ChapStick. The first step for this look is to moisturize your lips with the ChapStick. So, you just put it on like normal, mush it around, and then you're going to wipe it right off. You want your lips moisturized, but you don't want the product on there. Lip stain will skip over dry lips and stick in, you know, places that are dry, as opposed to places that are moisturized and look uneven. Now you take your lip stain and you just lightly brush over the lip. Since you just put on that ChapStick, you can kind of mush it around as well, and this is something that can be layered. You can do it as many times as you want to create a more vibrant color. This is pretty vibrant, so I'm going to keep it at that, and this is great. This will last you hours. It's a stain. So, your must-have product is definitely your lip stain, but I love to pair it with a ChapStick. Thank you so much for watching. I'm Christine. Have fun with your colors, bye.
