Ariana Grande turned heads at last night's Critics Choice Awards, sporting a soft glam look created with products from her own R.E.M. Beauty line. Among the items she used was the Practically Permanent Lip Stain Marker, priced at just £16 and available at Boots.
The singer wore the shade 'Booked n Busy', a soft mauve, but the lip stain also comes in pink, red, and berry tones. Its marker pen-style tip allows for precise application and can be built up for more intense colour or kept sheer for a subtle wash.
The lip stain is designed to stay put for hours without transferring, though some shoppers have reported mixed results. One fan said: 'Absolutely love this .. stays put for hours no bleeding or smudging.' Another added: 'I've only had this for a few days but it’s sooo long lasting and pretty.'
However, a few users noted issues with longevity and drying. One commented: 'Not great if/when ur lips dry up , doesn’t last a miracle either but pretty good otherwise!' Another said the product dried up after two weeks and changed colour.
Despite some criticisms, many remain loyal to the lip stain. One shopper wrote: 'I love this it gives the most natural looking pink lip super easy to use.' Another added: 'My favourite! I will always repurchase; it’s the best lip stain.'
