Lip Lacquers & Lip Tints: Intense Colour, Bitten Lip Effect & Long-Lasting Wear

Enhancing your smile with a vibrant colour that stands the test of time has never been easier. Welcome to our world dedicated to lip lacquers and lip tints (lip tints and lip stains) at Salle d’ô. Whether you’re looking for the natural, subtle effect of bitten lips or the glamorous intensity of an ultra-glossy lacquered finish, our selection has everything you could want in lip make-up.

Lip tint or lip lacquer: Which make-up should you choose?

Whilst both products are revolutionising lip make-up thanks to their exceptional staying power, their finishes and textures offer very different experiences:

1. Lip tint (Lip Tint & Lip Stain): The ‘bitten lip’ effect without transfer

Lip tint is formulated with a very lightweight water-based or gel base. It penetrates directly into the top layer of the lips to set its pigments, offering either a sheer or full-coverage finish:

• Result: A very on-trend ‘bitten lip’ effect, which can be soft and blurred or perfectly defined depending on how much you apply.
• Extreme staying power: Transfer-proof, it withstands meals, drinks and kisses without smudging or bleeding.
• Feel: Feather-light, with no sensation of product on the lips all day long.

2. Lip lacquer: Lacquered shine and vibrant pigments

The lip lacquer combines the intense pigmentation of a lipstick, the mirror-like shine of a gloss and the long-lasting hold of a lip ink:

• Result: Plump, shapely lips coated in an ultra-luminous lacquered finish.
• Comfort: Formulas enriched with moisturising agents that keep lips supple without feeling sticky.
• Impact: A sophisticated, polished finish from the very first stroke of the foam applicator.

How to apply your lip ink or lip lacquer correctly?

For a flawless finish and to maximise your product’s staying power, follow these simple steps:

• Step 1 – Prepare and smooth: Start by applying a gentle lip scrub to remove dead skin cells.
• Step 2 – Moisturise: Nourish your lips with a lip balm, then dab off any excess with a tissue before applying the lip ink (an overly oily surface prevents the pigments from setting).
• Step 3 – Apply: For an ombré effect (ombre lips), apply the product to the centre of the lips and blend outwards with your finger. For a defined look, outline the lips with the applicator brush.
