What the gurus are saying

Soft Nude is the natural-day shade of a lip stain that goes on like a marker and, the gurus say, stays put all day with no reapplying. It leans a little darker and browner, and it starts staining the moment it lands, so blending right away with fingers or a tiny brush is the move. The formula runs a bit thick for some tastes, though the color still wins them over.

"I love this. This is that one product that is better than all of the other lip stains as far as I am concerned. It's very easy to apply. You don't have to do any sort of peeling or sticking. You just apply it. It sticks. It stains. It's going nowhere all day and you don't have to reapply. [...] Soft nude is the most natural on me, and on those natural days, soft nude it is."

"These lip stains by Huda Beauty are one of the best things I think has ever been made. They're like markers for your lips. They're usually all sold out, which is why I'm going to get a couple of shades because they're not all sold out here. I think you should get one of these."

"My two favorites are this and soft nude. I love using soft nude. [...] Soft nude, you can see, is a little bit more, it's a little darker and it's a little more on the brown side. If you don't blend it immediately, like I said, it's a lip [...] stain. It's going to start staining, right? So when I use this, I will do a line and then I will immediately take my fingers and kind of like push it down. My favorite way, however, is to use a tiny little brush. [...] It makes the biggest difference."

"I love the form of a stained product around the mouth because lip product comes off so easily. [...] You can see that they have quite a pink shade, quite a midtone, a deeper red, like this nice deeper nude. I'm interested in this shade here that would look really great. This looks beautiful and I love how deep the shade goes. It'll be interesting to see [...] how they are. I'm going to put that in at number seven because it's all we have available. I'm happy with that order."

"Right now I cannot stop wearing [...] the Huda Beauty lip contour stain, specifically in the shade soft nude. Online it definitely looks more like a brown, but it reads quite mauve, which I don't mind. I love a little mauve lip stain, so I've been wearing that like crazy."

Testing ALL The NEW Makeup.. SPOILER: 😍
"I might be the most excited about the lip liner stains just because I feel like it added that light pink and added the perfect softness while still defining, not looking too lip stainy, which you know I don't always want. So I really am excited about that."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
