A must for all those who like their make up low maintenance, Smith & Cults The Tainted Lip Stain combines ease with longevity for long-lasting lip-enhancement (and no risk of colour migrating or leaving lips glued to your coffee cup). Quick-drying and semi-matte, the sheer, buildable fluid applies like a gloss just sweep directly onto lips using the doe-foot applicator (blurring with your fingers if you like a soft caught kissing look) then go forth and forget youre wearing it! Featherweight and completely non-drying, this feels ultra-comfortable, and need we mention the gorgeous gold packaging swoon! Choose from two suits-all hues: Kissing Tiny Flowers (an everyday dusty-rose) and Mad Heat (a beautiful, blue-toned crimson).

Glide over bare lips

Alternatively, layer over a lipstick
