I have the skin tone of a sickly Victorian child – my $6 lip stain is ‘magic,’ don’t be fooled by how light it goes on
SHOPPING for cosmetics can be challenging, especially with a unique skintone.
One woman said her complexion resembles a “sickly Victorian child,” but she found the perfect makeup to suit her.
Redditor Gofigure85 posted her tip in a comment on the social media platform.
She said she was on the lookout for the best lip stain when she came across the shade.
The Redditor added that it not only complemented her skin, it was also in her price range.
She described the beauty buy as nothing short of “magic.”
WHAT DID SHE GET?
The Redditor purchased her lip shade from Elf, a popular drugstore makeup brand.
“The Elf Glossy Lip Stain is magic,” she gushed.
“I’m shade sickly Victorian child, so I bought the pinkies up color for a natural day look.
“At first it went on really pale and I was nervous, but it darkened up pretty quickly to a lovely natural rosey-nude shade.
“[It] wasn’t drying, and after the gloss faded the stain left behind was lovely.”

Several other Redditors chimed in on the flattering lip stain.
“The Elf stain is awesome,” one raved.
“I bought a shade that didn’t suit me, tried to scrub it off, but was stuck with it for most of the day.
“[It’s a] really good product.”
“‘Shade sickly Victorian child’ I [laughed out loud],” another commented.
“I am super fair-toned, so I’m totally using that one.”
FORMULA FOR SUCCESS
The brand boasts a formulation for the lip stain that is long-lasting.
It also promises not to transfer — an issue with many lip products on the market.
It also could last makeup lovers a long time, requiring just one swipe for optimal application.
The brand describes it as having ore color saturation than a lip balm, but thinner than a lipstick.
Fans of the product raved over the lip stain in the reviews section.
“I really like how this feels on the lips,” one wrote. “The colors are very pretty and the stain that is left is subtle but beautiful. I recommend.”
