The Water Lip Stain in 604 is a baby pink hue mixed with a dash of coral. One layer creates a kind of neutral summer lip that’s a warmed up version of your favourite nude. But if you layer 2 or more coats, you can create a vivid coral lip. These versatile lip stains offer three different levels of coverage that are adjustable according to how much you apply. For light coverage, opt for one layer using the applicator; start at the cupids bow in the centre of the lips moving towards the outer corners, then reverse the movement. For medium coverage, wait around 20 seconds, then use the sharp edge of the applicator to retrace the lips and carefully reapply. For intense full coverage (after letting the first two layers dry), deliver a third layer, paying extra attention to the centre of the lower lip to amp up the intensity. Some of the shades are sheerer than others. For example 610 is a lovely sheer nude, whereas 612 gives a much bolder opaque finish. In fact, 612 is the most opaque option out of the shades I was sent. I love them both.
