A bold red lipstick, a shimmery lip gloss, a coat of moisturizing tinted lip balm—they instantly make you look more put together without requiring much added time to your makeup routine. But I 1) sip a lot of water throughout the day (via my at-home Stanley cup and my office Owala, ofc), and 2) hate reapplying. The second my lip product starts to fade or smear, I just wipe it off and forget I even tried to be that kind of person for the day.
I’m convinced, for this reason, that lip stains were made for me. In lieu of carrying around a bunch of lip products all the time, a lip stain should, in theory, be the answer to all my prayers. To see if it really stood up to the test, I tried one of the most-hyped lip stains out there: Wonderskin's Wonder Blading All-Day Lip Stain.
Anyone with a TikTok account has probably seen influencers wiping away the affordable-yet-terrifying blue metallic stain to reveal flawlessly pink (or brown, or red, or berry, or neutral) lips. Wonderskin claims the formula is smudge-proof, waterproof, and transfrer-proof. But does it actually work?
I tried it out, so peep my full review below. The “Wonder Blading” name isn’t just a cute play on words. This formula actually uses what the brand calls “Ionic Blading Technology” to temporarily dye the top layer of the skin on your lips for long-lasting color.
But there is a special technique involved. First, you layer on the formula all over your lips. Don’t be alarmed by the blue color; this will go away.
After 60 seconds, you can wipe away the blue color with a wet tissue or paper towel. You’re left with a stain that Wonderskin claims lasts up to 10 hours, even through eating, drinking, and kissing. But we’ll be the judge of that...
