You may notice a slight difference in the texture or feel of your Sexy Lips Lip Stains depending on the colors you choose. Each stain uses a unique formula to achieve its color and look. Passion Red Lip Stain uses pigments that absorb fairly quickly resulting in an elegant matte finish. Playful Pink and Seductive Nude Lip Stains use mica pearls to achieve their shine and translucence. These pearls do not absorb quite as quickly as pigments do, which can result in a sticky feeling if you rub your lips together before the stain is fully dry.
