3 Amazing Lip Stains For Back-to-School Beauty

August 25, 2009

Recently, I asked celebrity makeup artist Brett Freedman for some of his back-to-school beauty tips, and he delivered, by providing ideas for changing up your bronzer to adapt from warm- to cool-weathered times. Now, he's sharing another back-to-school tip, whether you're hitting the books for the start of a new school year, or you're looking for some different approaches to makeup.

"Lip glazes make a big difference," he said. Not only do they add a deep stain of color, but they offer pigment-staying power with a touch of shine, perfect for long days at class or even at the office, when touch-up time is limited. Get his recommendations for the perfect popsicle-stained lips after the jump.

I love Black Honey and Stila lipstain in Cherry - they're both amazing products, and super-flattering for almost everyone!

I'm going to join in on the Black Honey love. It's really a great color. I'd also recommend the Benetint rose color stain. It's liquid so it blends very easily and I think it is a color that works on everyone, too.
