Love it

I love this lip stain! Stays on all day and goes on very easily and I've even used it as a undertone for a nude gloss and it looked awesome!!

Not a stain!!!

Although the color is very nice; this is not a stain! It smells like magic marker and does not stick to lips at all! There is absolutely no staying power at all! I really hoped I would live this product but I just can't. I do like to later it on top if my shimmer lipsticks on the days I want more of a matte finish but it's not even great for that in all honesty.

Missed!

This was my first ever lip stain I don't know what color I got it in, but I used it one day, and at lunch time it was all gone. I used it the next and there was barely enough color on my lips, and by the third day it didn't even work. I hated it, and if you you want a cheap lip stain go ahead and buy it. I found a great one by hard candy, it is called all glossed up. I loved that product. So all in all I wouldn't recommend this product, even to my frenemies.

Meh

You defiantly have to moisturize your lips and exfoliate them before using this product. The color didn't stay on my lips very well but I did like the color that it gave off.

Nautral Stain

Definitely DOES not last 16 hrs but I love the color of Endless Spice and Champagne second. I do have to reapply but I don't mind it because i love the slight tint of color that it adds to my lips. I always use CARMAX with any lip products I put on because it avoids the cracked and dry lip look. I find that when I don't do that the application doesn't look great. I'll continue to repurchase because it's a nice quick product to use.

Lame

Well, I was excited about the violet (Forever Freesia) lipstain when I bought it but it just hasn't delivered. Applied patchy and the hard felt point was irritating. It didn't last an hour and I didn't even eat or drink. Hardly "smooch proof".

Not so great.

Picked one up just to try before buying a more expensive lip stain. Not a fan of this. I don't like the felt tip. Felt like I was drawing on my lips with a magic marker. Definitely stained but made my lips insanely dry even though I used a lip balm under.

The not-so-staining lip stain :(

I haven't heard much about the N.Y.C. Smooch Proof 16 hour Lip Stains, so I wanted to pick one up and see how the staying power is. This is a felt tip lip stain, it applies like a colored marker and dries to a semi-tacky finish, I experienced some drying, but no hydration at all - used without a balm underneath or on top. Unfortunately, this stain did not last 16 hours as it is named, it didn't even stay an hour - on its own. When I did a lengthier process than just applying it, it lasted about 4 hours, but once it fades it's completely gone, there is no staining.

Here's the process I used to get it to stay longer: - apply a lip balm prior - apply the lip stain and let dry - reapply the lip stain and let dry - apply a lip balm again or a gloss

Timed photos are without balms and glosses, I had a cup of coffee and a piece of toast (this was all before lunch) If this product actually stained the lips so there was color even after it fades away, I would give this a better review. Sadly, the color doesn't last and the product doesn't really stain my lips. $4.99 isn't expensive, so I might go back a get a few different shades to try instead of this bright and pigmented Forever Fuchsia.

prolongs bold lipcolors

This stain is a great help in prolonging the wear and smooth look of matte/bold colored (red, orange etc) cream lipsticks. Not so much with gloss, the color tends to slide. Thus technique withstands 45 minute to 1 hour MakeUp Education lecture.
