10 Lip Tints For The Minimal Makeup Enthusiast

By Shammi Mondal 

 

If the idea of a full coverage lipstick puts you into hesitation, but you also want a pretty hint of colour to your lips, lip tints are your middle ground. A tint will become you best aide in applying amount full colour to your lips, that stays put for a long time, all this while making it look natural.  

Available in various hues, lips tints are one of the most practical, fuss free and user friendly, lip products you might come across. Unlike lipsticks that add a layer on top of your lips, lip tints get absorbed and give a sheer pop of colour.  

 

Apart from being low maintenance, lip tints are also your ‘on the go’ best friends especially when a full face of makeup might seem like a tedious task.  

 

With so many textures and colours of lip stains in the market it can get a little overwhelming to find the one you need. Here is a list that will help you navigate the way to the product that ‘stains your heart’
