Clarins Water Lip Stain

Clarins Water Lip Stain 04 Violet Water is a lightweight liquid lip colour designed to give lips a soft, matte stain with adjustable intensity. The water-based texture feels barely there on application, yet delivers vivid berry-toned colour that can be built from a sheer wash to a more defined look. The formula is enriched with hydrating ingredients including Hyaluronic Acid, Organic Raspberry Water and Aloe Vera to help keep lips feeling comfortable, supple and less prone to dryness throughout wear.

Suitable for all skin tones and ideal for anyone who prefers low-maintenance, long-wear lip colour, this stain is kiss-proof, transfer-resistant and designed to last for up to 24 hours or around 300 kisses. It fits easily into a simple make-up routine, worn alone for a modern matte finish or layered under a gloss or lip oil for added shine and comfort. The precise brush applicator makes it easy to trace the lip line and fill in colour evenly for a fresh, weightless finish.

How to use
How to Use:
Apply to clean, dry lips. Start by placing the brush at the centre of the lips, then sweep the colour outwards towards the corners. Trace along the lip contours for definition, then add further thin coats to deepen the shade as desired.

Frequency:
Use as needed or according to the product instructions for touch-ups throughout the day.

Application Technique:
Use the fine brush applicator to paint a thin, even layer over the lips, allowing it to dry briefly between coats if you’re building intensity. Wear alone for a matte finish, or layer with a lip oil or balm on top for extra comfort and shine.

Best Practices:
For the smoothest result, ensure lips are exfoliated and free from heavy balms before application. Apply in light layers rather than one thick coat and allow the stain to set before eating or drinking. Remove with an oil-based make-up remover when required.

Safety Tips:
For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and keep out of reach of children. Always follow any additional directions on the packaging.
