Moroccan Lip Stain vs. Traditional Lipstick

are you stuck choosing between a traditional moroccan lip tint or modern lipstick?

you're not alone - it's a dilemma many gals face when wanting to switch up their usual lip look

traditional moroccan lip tints have been around for centuries
they're all-natural, made with ingredients like clay, oils, and plant extracts
they give a subtle, buildable tint that's easy to apply with fingers
and they double up as a cheek tint too - versatile!

on the flipside, lipsticks come in endless shades and finishes
from matte to creamy, sheer to full-coverage
they're easy to find and usually more pigmented than tints
but some have less than natural ingredients

so which one's better?
let's break it down:

The Moroccan Lip Tint

• totally natural, vegan ingredients
• more of a wash of colour than bold pigment
• lasts fairly well but needs reapplying
• multi-use for lips & cheeks
• unique aesthetic in cute clay pot packaging

The Classic Lipstick

• man-made formulas, often with waxes/oils
• high colour payoff from one swipe
• longer wear time, less need to reapply
• usually lips only (some double as blush)
• sleek packaging, wide shade range

personally, i'm all about that moroccan lip tint life!

the natural ingredients mean no drying out my lips
and the buildable colour is so pretty and fresh
i love that whole earthy, handmade vibe too

but i get the appeal of lipsticks for evenings out
that full glam, high-impact look is sick
you just can't beat that intense pigment!

my advice?
invest in a few moroccan tints for the day
they're low-maintenance, double-duty makeup
then whip out the lipstick at night - you'll be slaying!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do Moroccan lip tints last?

They have decent staying power of around 3-4 hours, but will need reapplying after eating/drinking. The colour tends to stain the lips which helps it last longer.

Are Moroccan lip tints drying?

No, quite the opposite! The natural oils and butters in the formula are super nourishing and moisturizing for the lips.

Can you use Moroccan lip tints as blush?

Absolutely! Many Moroccan women use the tints as a 2-in-1 lip and cheek colour. Just dab some on the apples of your cheeks and blend out.

How do Moroccan lip tints compare to lip stains?

Moroccan tints are similar to lip stains in that they leave a subtle wash of long-lasting colour. However, tints tend to be creamier and more moisturizing than your typical stain formula.
