Product Information
Full details
The e.l.f. Main Stain Lip Marker is designed for makeup enthusiasts looking for a long-wearing, low-maintenance lip color that offers precision application. Its primary benefit is the felt-tip design, which allows for effortless sculpting and filling to achieve a natural, stain-like finish that stays put throughout the day. While it offers excellent buildable color, users should note that as a stain formula, it requires clean, exfoliated lips for the most even application to avoid highlighting dry patches.

FAQs
Does this product feel sticky on the lips?
No, the Main Stain Lip Marker provides a weightless, natural finish that does not feel sticky or tacky.
Can I use a lip gloss over this stain?
Yes, you can apply a clear or tinted lip gloss over the stain once it has fully dried to add shine and hydration.
Is this product waterproof?
While it is a long-lasting stain, it is not explicitly marketed as waterproof. However, it is designed to be highly resistant to transferring while eating or drinking.
How do I ensure the sharpest lip line?
Use the side of the felt tip to outline the perimeter of your lips before filling in the center, and use a small amount of concealer around the edge if you need to clean up any mistakes.
Can I use this on my cheeks?
The product is designed specifically for lips. While some users experiment with stains as blush, it is recommended to test on a small area of the cheek first to ensure it blends well and does not stain too quickly.
Troubleshooting
Marker tip feels dry during application
Store the pen with the tip facing downward for one hour and give it a gentle shake to re-saturate the felt tip.
Color looks uneven or patchy
The lips were likely not prepped correctly. Ensure all dead skin is removed via exfoliation and ensure your lips are free of oils or balms before applying.
Color is too faint
The formula is buildable. Allow the first layer to dry completely for thirty seconds, then apply a second layer to intensify the shade.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your lip marker remains in top condition, always store it with the cap firmly snapped on to prevent the felt tip from drying out. Store the marker in a horizontal or tip-down position to ensure consistent ink flow to the applicator.
Preparation is key: Since this is a stain, it will highlight any texture. Use a gentle sugar scrub to exfoliate your lips before application. If you have sensitive skin, perform a patch test on your inner arm first to ensure the pigment formula is compatible with your skin barrier. To remove at the end of the day, use an oil-based makeup remover or micellar water to gently break down the stain.
