Palladio Lip Stain Matte Finish, Berry

It was very dried up,had to rub way too much to get the colour.

I love this product! So easy to color your lips and stays for a long time. It gives vivid color as well

The stain was not enough in the pen. I got maybe under 10 uses out of it, and then there was no more liquid. I would not buy this again. UPDATED: When I had last wrote this review, I had been quite disappointed. But customer service reached out so quickly, and I have grown to love this stain! I apply it to clean lips, and then use a clear balm over it. It doesn't make my lips feel dry/cracked/cakey like other lasting stains. Love this, and have bought more of these pens since!

I am obsessed with lip stains. I hate lipstick that rubs off on everything, so I've always been in search of lip STAINS that I can just use chapstick or lip gloss over. This Palladio is a product I first used years and years ago. I was happy with the color and I was happy with the staying power, but super unhappy with the stingy amount of product. But back then when I first bought it, it was like $5, so it was fine but I wanted to see if I could find better. I can say after years of searching, finding favs that were discontinued, or comparable products that were way overpriced, I've come back around to this product. I was searching through my purchase history for something and came across this, couldn't believe it was still available and so ordered one to see if the quality was still the same. And Yes! It is! To be clear, this is NOT a moisturizing lip tint. There is no moisture! It's exactly like using an actual pink permanent marker on your lips. And the pics from the seller are faked because those look like gooped on cream lipstick, and the actual product looks nothing like that. It's a lip STAIN. That's all it's supposed to do, and that's all it does. It STAINS your lips and that is exactly what I wanted - a natural-looking stain that I can wear to the gym, on errands and wherever a full face isn't required. I've spent years looking for my holy grail of lip stain, and glad I've re-found this one - it's certainly top three and will be staying in my rotation this time.

Here's how to achieve the Palladio pen effect without spending a dime: 1. Go to the junk drawer you use for elastic bands, unidentified keys, pens, twist ties, bits of string, crumpled receipts etc., and rummage around until you find a dry, uncapped felt marker. 2. Find a reflective surface (there's probably a broken compact in the drawer) 3. Run the tip of the felt pen across your lips. Be gentle; lips don't respond well to having dry things run across them. 4. Look in the mirror and note that nothing much has changed. Palladio has some very nice stuff. I recommend their brow balms unreservedly. It's possible that the lip stain pen I received was a dud. If it was a $5 dud, this review wouldn't have happened. Come to think of it, our lips really are very sensitive and felt pens rely on pressure and friction to deliver colour. Products like these are damaging unless blended with lip balm or gloss, and if we're blending with balm or gloss we may as well use a liquid stain and avoid the friction. Ageing absolutely sucks. My bum vanished on my 55th birthday. I mourn the loss of my plump wee buttocks so I've simply stopped looking. I don't have the least idea what goes on behind me. I can't avoid my face though. I mourn the loss of my plump lips... Full lips are migratory. Mine flew north, settled beneath my eyes and built those retirement condos we call 'bags'. Maybe if I'd treated them with more kindness they'd have stayed longer. I'm particularly annoyed with my upper lip for adding the insult of full blown mustache to the injury of desertion. So be gentle with your lips and try to make peace with your mothers because their faces make frequent appearances in our mirrors as we age. It's always a little creepy but it's so much worse if things are...unresolved.

Ladies, gentlemen, they/them's, if you have uneven lips in ANY WAY, no matter if its; - uneven shaped lips - uneven colored lips - whatever hae you you NEED to try this product. My lips are a very weird. My top lip folds inwords of my mouth, giving the illusion that my top lip shorter than my bottom lip. My bottom lip has areas where it's too smooth for lip products to stay on, and I have pockets of fat under my lip that interfere with product. I have only ever met one person who had a simmilar issue with their lip shape. I have googled, trying to find any celebrities with similar problems, but it seems It's pretty rare. Having said that, lip products never ever looked good on me. My lipshape made it hard to line my lips, because product would fold into my mouth and smudge around, looking all messy and uneven. My bottom lip would have a streak of pale in the parts where it's too smooth for lipstick. Essentially, I look more freakish with lipstick than without. Reguardless, I along with many women know the power of a pigmented lip. I was not about to let my goofy lips get in the way of serving!! This product chanegd my life! the marker dries down fast so my lips dotn smudge. it also colors over the smoother parts of my lip, which allows it to hold pigment longer than the average lip product. the shade (berry) is PERFECT for my compelection. and the price is AMAZING!!!!! i seriously love this thing, Ive purchansed it twice now, and will soon purchase my third. If you got lip issues like me, you need this! its a true game changer. I love my lipstain marker.
