I love the concept of cheek and lip stains. The allure of a sheer wash of color creating a natural flush appeals to me. I have tried stains from Benefit, Stila and CoverGirl. CG has done the best job of creating more natural shades, other than pomegranate and mango. The pitfall with them is the "D" word, dry on the lips, dry in the the felt tip applicator, rendering an abysmally short shelf life.
