These mask-ready formulas aren't going anywhere.

While we love the full coverage looks our favorite lipsticks provide, it's no surprise that in the midst of the pandemic, a regular lipstick just won't hold up to the demands of constant masking. In addition to mastering a quick cat eye for Zoom or swapping your foundation with a few well-placed dabs of concealer, the best lip stains make it simple to quickly enhance your beauty look with little to no effort. Plus, since these lip stains are made to last—some for up to 12 hours per wear—you won't have to worry about them rubbing off.

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, a hydrating, pigmented stain is especially ideal for date night with your friends or a beau, since you probably won't have to waste time re-applying.
