Hello Everyone!
Unfortunately, although I do not like to admit it, I am a lazy person and I hate retouching up my makeup. I just cannot be bothered dealing with it, if I put something on my face in the morning I want it to last the whole day!
This is why I adore stains, if you find a good one it will stay on your skin for ages. A year or so ago I purchased the Soap & Glory Cheekmate, which is basically a cheek and lip stain.
On their website it claims;
"A refreshing gel stain with BLUSHBOOT™ technology to enhance circulation in the capillaries of the skin. Plus raspberry seed, kiwi extract & vitamin C to moisturize & condition."
I don't know about the blushboost technology, but it sure does stain the skin well and lasts until I take my makeup off; some of the colour still remains after.
On my cheeks it gives a rosy colour as if I have been spending sometime out in the cold weather. It doesn't dry out my skin at all, and when wearing this on my lips I do apply lip balm.
For £8 you get 11ml of product which will last you for a very long time as it is so highly pigmented you only need the tiniest bit, even less than a drop, anymore and you risk looking as if you have a rash on your face. The product comes in a small squeezy tube, with a concentrated nozzle which helps you control how much product comes out.
A couple of things to be aware of is that if you apply with your finger they, will get stained; you also have to work extremely quickly with this product as it dries and sets immediately. Do not apply the stain to both cheeks and then blend it, do it one cheek at a time. The gel is also slightly sticky when you apply it but the stickiness vanishes after about 30 seconds.
It is available to buy at boots, and I recommend it to all! It stays on the skin forever and I believe it will suit any skin tone, however fair skinned people might have to be light-handed with it.
If you have ever tried any really good stains out before, please let me know so I can check them out.
