Lip Stain That Changes with Your pH: Is It Worth the Hype?

The before:

The After:

Finding new lip colors can be hard, especially during covid when testers at makeup stores a thing of are the past. It can be hard to know what color will fit your face the best, especially for newbies who are trying out lip color for the first time. Fortunately, Winky Lux takes the guessing out of the game. Their lip stain, which runs about $16 on Amazon, is designed to react with the pH of your lips to bring out the best shade of pink for your skin tone.

The product’s packaging is beautiful, although slightly smaller than we expected. However, the fact that it is a lip stain means you won’t need to be reapplying it throughout the day and night which is a plus.

The application of the product is a 10/10. The balm goes on clear before reacting to your lips and is super smooth and felt incredibly moisturizing. It also has a nice smell to it, which can sometimes be rare from a product found on Amazon.

But now on to what we know you’re waiting for. Is the color worth the hype? Here’s the thing: it is, as long as you like pink. When we first tried it on, we were a little skeptical because of how pink it was, but then it really started to grow on us. The nice thing about the pH matching is that you know it’s going to look good on you. A lot of fear in trying new products or branching out from the normal routine stems from not knowing what will look good, so having a product that caters to you and you only is the perfect way to branch out worry-free. We definitely recommend to those looking for a nice, natural shade without the hassle of trying a million and one colors.
