Lip tint is the least demanding makeup product there is — until it is 40°C and it has migrated off your lips by lunchtime. Most of the fix is in the application, not the product.
Start with smooth lips
Colour clings to dry patches and skips the rest. A gentle scrub or a damp cloth once or twice a week is enough; daily scrubbing makes lips more fragile, not smoother.
Hydrate early, not at the last minute
Balm applied immediately before colour creates a slippery layer that tint cannot grip. Apply your balm or lip treatment several minutes ahead, then blot the excess before the tint goes on.
Use a liner as a base, not just an outline
Filling in the whole lip with liner before colour gives the tint something to hold onto. It also means that when the centre wears away after eating, you are left with an even wash of colour rather than a visible ring.
Build in thin layers
Two thin coats last longer than one thick one. Apply, press your lips together, blot lightly, then apply the second coat. The blot is the step most people skip and the one that does the most work.
Expect to reapply after iced drinks
Cold glasses and straws take colour off faster than food does. Keeping the tint in your bag is more practical than looking for a formula that survives everything.
Choosing a formula for the heat
Tints and stains sit closer to the lip and survive longer than glosses, which stay wet by design. If you want shine that lasts, a tint underneath with a light gloss on top is more reliable than gloss alone.
