I usually prefer lip stains over lipstick because I feel they have more staying power with buildable coverage.  I saw TONYMOLY Delight Tony Tint at Urban Outfitters and decided to try it out.  It was only $6, so why not?

The packaging is pretty run of the mill compared to other lip stains.  It comes with the standard tube with doe-footed applicator; though it does have a cute little heart shaped cap which I like.  It does a good job staying sealed and has never leaked out in my purse or on an airplane.

STAYING POWER

TONYMOLY Delight Tony Tint Lip Stain is long lasting.

The deep red color is what initially caught my attention for the TONYMOLY Delight Tony Tint lip stain.  You can see that this stain is highly pigmented, and should be applied with a gentle hand.  If you apply too much in one go it will settle into the creases of your lips and not look very nice.  I learned this the hard way.  Now when I apply it, I wipe off the excess from the applicator and then do one sheer layer at a time; allowing a few seconds to dry in between coats.  This helps prevent too much product from settling into your lip crease.  For best results, gently exfoliate your lips with a lip scrub or soft tooth brush.  It will not look good if your lips are dry or chapped.

The stain has a gel-like consistency that is not too thick or watery.  You can see above that it does transfer a little bit, but after drinking hot tea it still looked great.  Out of all the lip stains I have tried, this one seems to last the longest.  Even through some meals.  I've gone out to eat sushi and it did not budge.   However, if you are eating greasy food then you may need to reapply as it will not last through a cheeseburger!  For the most part it does not transfer onto surfaces such as clothing or on your significant other's cheek; unless you are really trying to rub it off.

FINAL THOUGHTS

So far this is my favorite lip tint and the only one I keep in my purse.  I like how you can use it with a light application or build it up for a more vibrant look.  I have used other lip tints such as Etude House Dear Darling Tint (not as long lasting), Etude House Fresh Cherry Lip Tint (too oily), Benefit Cosmetics Benetint Cheek & Lip Stain (too watery) and I feel that TONYMOLY Delight Tony Tint has exactly what I'm looking for.
