Lauren Luke's lip and cheek stain

The Body Shop lip and cheek stain in Rose Pink, £9.50. Lauren says: Looks an exciting colour, but settles down to an ultra-sheer finish. Watery consistency. Less impressive on cheeks. ★★★ Photograph: Sara Morris The Balm For Keeps lip stain in ­Purple/Brown, £19. Lauren says: Comes as a compact and contains two lip stains to which you have to add water. Bit of a faff. However, they did stain my lips for hours and the packaging is cute, with a mirror and brush. ★★ Photograph: Sara Morris Laura Mercier lip stain in Shy Pink, £16, Selfridges . Lauren says: Beautiful colour in a creamy formula. When blended in, leaves lips slightly stained. Doesn’t last that long. Too pricey. ★★★ Photograph: Barry Fantich Nars stick in Cadaques, £27, Selfridges . Lauren says: Beautiful design, as well as colour. I loved wearing this, but a touch too greasy on my cheeks. Worked wonders on my lips, though, and lasts well. ★★★★ Photograph: Sara Morris Smashbox O-Glow, £20, Debenhams . Lauren says: Glides on top of my foundation and builds into a soft pink blush colour, giving a silky matt finish. Gorgeous, colourful cheeks in seconds. ★★★★★ Photograph: Sara Morris Topshop blush in crushed berry, £6. Lauren says: I love this – the colour is gorgeous, and it applies easily and smoothly. Lasted the whole day. ★★★★★ Photograph: Sara Morris
