Application & Formula Texture
The dependable gelMilani color fetish hydrating lip stainPalladio Beauty's lip stain marker mkt77002429 splits opinion right down the middle: some call the tip precise and easy to line with, while just as many find it dried-out, sketchy to control, or scratchy like a hard crayon nib. Milani's color fetish hydrating lip stain reads far steadier, a whipped, jelly-like gel that reviewers compare to a hybrid of balm, lipstick, and gloss, applying evenly even on chapped lips. ETUDE's Dear Darling marker lip tint has only a single formula report on file, calling it easy to apply, too little yet to place firmly. If application consistency decides it, Milani's color fetish is the one to start with.
