 two coats

 Product Info:

ELF Lip Stain in Red Carpet

$3.00


Pros:
-beautiful, deep red colour
-very buildable to go from everyday wear to dramatic (see for yourself! look at the pix above!)
-incredibly long lasting (8+ hours)
-sleek packaging
-very moisturizing gloss


Cons:
-stain alone is not very moisturizing
-not as long lasting if the gloss is applied overtop (but still pretty decent, I'd say)


Ways to use it (see pictures above):
-for an everyday , sheer wash of red: wipe most of the stain off the brush on the side of the tube, apply it to your lips gently, use your finger to blend the colour in, and finally, blot your lips on a paper towel
-for a wearable red lip: apply one coat to the lips
-for intense drama: apply two coats to the lips
-you can also just wear the gloss alone, or in combination with the stain


Additional comments:


Overall, I really love this lip stain and I would highly recommend it to anybody who is looking for long lasting red lip colour. I think the colour has some blue undertones which is great because that tends to make teeth look whiter!
