The VDL Lip Stain Comfort Sleep in Dirty Vienna is pretty.

When I first applied VDL Lip Stain Comfort Sleep Dirty Vienna, I was honestly surprised by how attractive the color was. It has a vibe like a calm rose color with a hint of dried rose and a drop of brown added to it; it is a versatile shade that seems to suit both cool and warm undertones. The color does not look dull in natural light or indoor lighting, but rather creates a sophisticated look, making it perfect for daily wear.

The color payoff was better than expected. The color comes out vivid with just one swipe, and even when layered multiple times, it builds up clearly without looking heavy or cakey. It adheres softly to the lips; while it lacks a glass-like shine, the semi-matte texture gives it a clean and luxurious look. Most of all, I really loved that it didn't accentuate dry patches. Even though my lips tend to be a bit dry, it didn't flake or clump in the creases, so I was able to use it comfortably.

The staying power was quite good, too. The color in the center fades slightly after eating, but overall, it remains naturally stained like a lip tint. Reapplying it is hassle-free and doesn't leave streaks, so touch-ups were relatively easy. In particular, it barely transfers onto masks, making it really practical for times like these.

Overall, Dirty Vienna is an excellent lip product with great color, application, and staying power, making it perfect for daily use. If you prefer natural yet sophisticated lips over bold ones, you will definitely be satisfied. It has a texture easy enough for even makeup beginners to use without any difficulty, so it is a lip stain I would recommend for many reasons.
