7. The Stained Lip Effect
Lipstick can feel heavy and high-maintenance in the heat. A lip stain provides color that lasts through drinks and dinner without the weight.
- The Strategy: Use a water-based lip stain. Dab it into the center of your lips and blend outward for a “bitten” look. Add a layer of clear, non-sticky lip oil over the top for hydration and shine.
- Why it Works: A stain permeates the skin of your lips, meaning the color remains even after the gloss wears off. Lip oil provides a “glassy” shine that looks incredibly fresh in the summer sun.
