Olivia Attwood just shared with fans the viral makeup product that’s earned a space in her makeup bag, as it’s praised for ‘lasting over 12 hours’
If there’s one universal struggle makeup lovers will know, it’s finding a lipstick that will last all day without smudging or smearing, or needing constant touch-ups. That’s why last year saw a massive rise in popularity for lip stains, which can be applied in as little as 30 seconds and promise to last from first thing in the morning until last thing at night – sometimes longer.
And celebrities are no exception from this craze, as plenty have voiced their love for brands like Sacheu and Wonderskin, including Love Island star and TV presenter, Olivia Attwood, who recently took to social media to show her makeup routine with fans. Included in said makeup routine was the viral Wonderskin Lip Stain, which promises to deliver “revolutionary all-day lip colour” that’s transfer-proof, waterproof, and is sure to linger all day long.

With 36 different shades to choose from, with options like nude Adore, rosy Beautiful or the deeper pink Whimsical Stain & Go, the Wonderskin product gives its wearer the appearance of a lipstick without the faff of needing to reapply, nor having to deal with dry textures and feathering – no wonder it was so popular on social media.
Though Olivia doesn’t reveal what shade she opts for in her recent Instagram video, it was certainly on the more brown-pink side than some of Wonderskin’s more vibrant shade options, potentially indicating one of the newer hues like Hush.
The secret lies in its smudge-proof, transfer-proof, water-proof formula, crafted with innovative Liquid Blading technology that infuses colourants and pigments into the top layer of your lips. It then seals them in to prevent feathering, fading, or budging.
The application process is as straightforward as any other lip product – simply apply the Lip Stain Masque, let it set for 10 – 30 seconds, then wipe away with a damp towel or tissue, or peel it off if it’s not cracked.
The result? A natural lip colour that stays put. For those craving a bolder look, the formula is buildable: just reapply, let it set, then wipe off. And when it’s time to remove it at the end of the day, all you need is an oil-based makeup remover.
Retailing for £18 on Wonderskin’s own website, this lip stain is one of the pricier options available, even with its affordable price tag. Alternatives include the Sacheu Lip Liner STAY-N, which sells for £14 at Boots, or the newer NYX Professional Make Lip IV Hydrating Gloss Stain, which costs £10.99 at Lookfantastic.

Wonderskin shoppers who have picked up this beauty essential can’t stop singing its praises. One buyer beams: “Absolutely love this lip stain. I wear them daily – Adore for days I want to look natural, XOXO for days I want to look “just bitten”, Romance and Beautiful for days I want to dress up or do a photoshoot. It lasts all day and doesn’t budge.”
Another shopper shares: “I was hesitant, things never work like online, but this is wonderful! I am so excited and have ordered more colors! Just love this natural color look and feel.”
More praise comes from this reviewer who raves: “I’ve tried hundreds of lip stains and lipstick, this is by far the best and longest lasting no need for any other. If you like color on your lips – this is it.”
And a fourth writes: “I really love the fact that I can have perfectly shaded lips in a matter of 5 minutes for the whole day! Love this product!”
One shopper does share their gripe, saying: “I’ve now tried a few colors and they are usually more berry colored than they appear in the swatches but the stain does last hours. I have also found it does work better using the activator but I have to remember to apply before foundation because it gets a little messy.”
But the praise is overwhelming as more accolades come from this buyer who gushes: “My favorite lip product of all time! The colors are beautiful and last all day. And the price point is reasonable. It is my most used make-up product. If I have to give up all make-up except one thing, I’d keep this lip stain. Hands down the best. I’ll probably be buying for all my girlies during holidays!”
And another customer enthuses: “Love the all day lip stain – I do reapply after work if going out, but for a lip stain to last on me for 12 hours (even with eating!) is pretty amazing! I wish there were samples for the colors – I bought 4 in the last few months, and only 1 color looked good. I’ll just stick with it instead of trying to figure out what else to try.”
