It's like a marker.

I like this lip product. It looks and even works like a marker. This does add a nice amount of pigment to my lips. But I don't really like the feel of this marker during use. I probable will not purchase it again even though I absolutely love the elf brand.

I like elf lip stain. It's perfect if you want to be minimal and are on the run. Real no fuss. The pen is perfect for out lining your lips and then filling the rest. It does wear off but it is a great size to fit in your purse for easy reapplying! One suggestion is not to put lip primer or anything on your lip before. It can dry clog or dry this tip out.
