The Calligraphy Lip Stain by Stila is a sheer, lightweight lip color designed to deliver buildable pops of colour with a barely-there feel. The variant Calligraphy Lip Stain offers a two-way, blade-like tip that lets you apply color with precision—either on point for definition or on edge for full coverage. This transfer-proof formula stays with you through the day and gradually fades to a natural wash of colour, so your lips look polished from morning to night. This product is ideal for anyone who wants adjustable intensity, comfortable wear, and a refined lip line that doesn’t require touch-ups after every meal or drink.

Usage tips and who this is for
To get the most from this lip stain, start by exfoliating your lips for a smooth surface. Using the two-way tip, apply “on point” to line, contour, and define your lips. For a lighter wash of color, apply with gentle pressure; for fuller coverage, switch to the edge and layer as needed. Store the tip side down or horizontally for best performance. This product is best for anyone seeking a comfortable, buildable lip color with precise application and long wear.
Safety note: test on a small area before full application and discontinue use if irritation occurs. Follow the included product instructions for any specific usage directions.
