stila Calligraphy Lip Stain liquid lip tint — Maya shade, long-wearing, transfer-proof, lightweight

This effortless lip stain combines a blade-like, calligraphy tip with a moisturizing, transfer-proof formula to give you up to eight hours of comfortable wear. The dual-edge applicator lets you switch between ultra-precise lining and broader swipes for full coverage. Designed for everyday use, it layers without feeling heavy and gently fades to a flattering tint.

How does the calligraphy-style tip improve application?

The pen-like, two-way tip was designed to mimic a calligraphy nib so you can control line width by changing angle and pressure. Use the pointed edge for crisp lip contours and the flat edge for even color across the lip surface. That combination reduces touch-ups and makes it simple to create both defined and soft looks.

• Blade-like tip for fine lines and bold strokes
• Switch between "on point" for definition and "on edge" for full coverage
• Even color distribution with minimal passes
• Easy to control for beginners and pros alike

Will the formula feel heavy or dry my lips?

The Calligraphy Lip Stain is formulated to be non-drying and lightweight, offering a barely-there feel while delivering a nourishing wash of color. It contains hydrating components that help lips stay comfortable during wear, avoiding the stiffness some long-wear stains produce. If your lips are particularly dry, a light balm before application improves glide and finish.

• Non-drying finish with comfortable wear
• Sheer, buildable texture for adjustable coverage
• Pairs well with a pre-application lip scrub or balm
• Fades naturally rather than flaking or patching

How long does the color last and is it transfer-proof?

The stain gives up to eight hours of continuous wear and is formulated to be transfer-resistant so it won’t rub off easily. Over time it subtly fades to a natural wash of color rather than leaving harsh edges. You’ll still want to blot after application for maximum longevity and avoid oily foods for the best staying power.

• Up to 8 hours of wear under typical conditions
• Transfer-proof, smudge-resistant finish
• Fades to a natural, even tint instead of flaking
• Best performance when blotted and allowed to set

How should I apply and care for the tip?

Begin with exfoliated, dry lips for even coverage. Apply "on point" to define the lip line and then switch "on edge" to fill in for consistent color. To maintain the tip performance, store the pen horizontally or tip-side down and recap securely after each use.

• Exfoliate and optionally moisturize before applying
• Use pressure and angle to vary line thickness
• Store tip side down or horizontally for best flow
• Recap tightly to preserve formula and tip shape
