The viral hack using SACHEU Beauty Lip Liner Stain has taken the internet by storm, and it’s easy to see why. This budget-friendly beauty hack delivers long-lasting color. And while it’s called a lip liner, it works beautifully as an all-over lip stain that survives meals, drinks, and even kisses. Still think it’s too good to be true? Here are some tried-and-true tips for flawless application and all-day wear.
Apply It Like a Pro
Start with bare lips for the best results, and don’t let the intense color intimidate you—the final result is a soft, natural-looking stain. For reference, I used HEY-zel on my medium brown skin, and it adds the perfect flush of neutral color.
The trick is all in the technique:
- Outline first. Apply a thick, even layer around the edges of your lips. A generous application makes removal easier and ensures even coverage.
- Go all in. If you want full, rich color, fill in your entire lip area.
Timing is everything
Like a fine wine, this stain gets better with time. While SACHEU recommends waiting 10-15 minutes, I found that leaving it on for at least 20 minutes gives a deeper, longer-lasting tint. Remember—the longer it sits, the bolder the stain.
The right way to remove
While you can peel the liner off, I prefer to use a warm, damp washcloth to gently scrub off the color. This ensures there aren’t any remnants when I follow with a coat of balm or gloss, like U Beauty The Plasma Lip Compound.
Perfect for any occasion
This $12 wonder product is great everyday, but especially ideal for:
- Date nights when you want worry-free wear.
- Vacations where you don’t want to fuss with constant touch-ups.
- Busy days when you need your makeup to go the distance.
- Special events where you need your lip color to last through eating and drinking.
Final thoughts
For just $12, the SACHEU Beauty Lip Liner Stain delivers serious staying power with minimal effort. While the application process might seem intimidating at first, the results speak for themselves—hours of natural-looking, budge-proof color that lasts for hours.
