The reviewer below is correct, this is more of a soft reddish berry/plum/rose than a warm red. First, the positives - this lasts all day as a soft blush. And it makes a great base to lip glosses,...

Ok, so let me just say that I have not found any lip stain to last throughout an entire day. That in mind, though, I do like the VL stain's wearing longevity compared to others (except, believe it...

This is a good stain. I love it on my lips, if I apply a bit, and smooth it with my finger before it dries up. This way it looks very natural, and all I have to do is add a clear gloss or...

This stuff is amazing!! It is a perfect red and it stays for hours! Make sure you exfoliate and moisturize your lips in advance though, or it will settle into the dry areas and look terrible.

Despite the great number of positive reviews on MUA, I was disappointed in this product. The color did not seem natural on my pigmented lips, it appeared more garish and bright than a natural hue....

This is my first lip and cheek stain. I'm trying to develop a more natural look with my makeup, and this product does a great job of giving my cheeks a much more natural flush than powder blush...

I have tried many lip/cheek stains (Benetint, NARS etc.) and this one is fabulous and my fave. As with all stains, you need to 'work' with them a bit. They are 'supposed' to be simple, but alas,...

The color looked like wine and was too deep for me. I could never get it to go on evenly because it didn't seem to sink into my lips so much as it sat on top of them. Once I put a balm on top and...

I wanted a slight red stain instead of the run-of-the-mill berry and I hit the nail on the lips with this one. It's a sublte red that flatters my NC15/PPP skintone. The tube and wand is great for...

I swapped for this product, and really love it! On me (cool PPP) it shows up as a rosy berry shade (very Snow White, as a previous reviewer wrote). It is rather moist and tacky for a few minutes,...

I really love the color of this lip stain on me--the perfect "natural" red. You can layer on a little or a lot depending on the depth of color you would like. It smells like vanilla extract to me...
