The stain of all stains except it’s for your lips! I’m talking about the new MAC Versicolour Stain ($24.00 // Nordstrom)! This new formula is available in 16 shades and I have one below to show you in Constant Craving (sorry not sorry if that song is stuck in your head now, because it’s stuck in mine).
Previously in life I couldn’t find any sort of lip stain that worked well, wasn’t uncomfortable and didn’t fade off making my lips look like they had some sort of major disease. BTW my review is based on just this one shade, since it’s the only one I tried. I do plan on grabbing a few more!
Constant Craving is described as a midtone blue pink. I found the formula easy to apply with the elongated, sloped, sponge applicator. This shade applied evenly and even though initially the color put me off (that lilac-ish tone always does) it applied much more pink and light. As I wore the stain I was drinking coffee and had no transfer at all. The shade remained as vivid as when I applied it. After eating later in the afternoon the color dulled a bit, but the tint was still visible. The tint wore all day until I removed it at night.
Wearing this lip tint was comfortable for me. It is glossy when applied but as you eat and drink that goes away. As that gloss fades it’s still not drying, but will feel a bit sticky if you press your lips together. You can reapply Constant Craving over-top to freshen it up and make the color pop again or just wear a clear gloss.
What shades of MAC Versicolour Stain are you dying to try? I want to pick up a few more and see if I like them all and if they all work out as good as Constant Craving. I’m talking the deeper shades like Preserving Passion and Resilient Rouge!
MAC Versicolour Stain colors are available now at Nordstrom, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s and maccosmetics.com.

I like the idea of stains, but too often they are patchy or wear off unevenly. If this fixes that problem, I’m in!

That’s a tough pink to pull off in my experience. I do like the sound of these though, as I have a hard time with long wearing stains too. I’m more of a balm girl and can’t deal with a dry feeling lip lol.

That’s a lovely pink for Spring! It may be a tad too pale for my skintone, though.

I went into my MAC store for the first time last week and all I bought was a bottle of Skin Fix, haha! But hey - it was needed….it was my first purchase EVER from MAC. Now I need to go and get some lipsticks!

This is such a pretty shade, definitely something I would pick up!
I like the shade of this. I’m always worried about a stain too but this sounds better than others.

I have to have long wearing lipsticks-I like the lavender in that shade.

I still can’t decide if I need Versicolour Stains in my life or not. The colors sure are pretty!
Looks like a very nice pink shade. Glad to know it is long wearing.
