TONYMOLY Perfect Lips Shocking Lip Tint [02 Red Shocking]

In the summer, I need long-lasting power, so I apply that, then a base color, and then my usual lip color on top. The lasting power is incredible.

Is this not another pretty? There were also daily-like colors of lip, but they had no lasting power. So I use this. If you only look at the lasting power, this is the best. But it's red, so other lips can't really go on top of it, which is sad. There's no help for it.

The pigmentation was incredibly intense, almost shockingly so, as soon as I applied it. The color payoff was so strong and vivid that I was quite taken aback during the testing and removal process. It was nice to experience that old-school vibe again after so long. However, these days the trend is towards more natural, muted shades, so unless this bold red tone suits your personal coloring, it's probably best to only use it experimentally, like for a pool day. You'll definitely have to sacrifice one finger to apply this properly, or use a cotton swab instead. This is a true 'cat that ate the canary' red..!

The color payoff is way too fast, making it difficult to create a gradient effect. And it's just so intensely pigmented that it's quite overwhelming. Is it 'yeo-kkeul'? 'Gyeo-kkeul'? Anyway, this super bright shade will be great for those who love that kind of bold, in-your-face color. But for those of us who get washed out by such vibrant tones, it's best to look for other options. Once the color starts to fade from the lips, it stubbornly leaves behind a strong pink stain, which is a bit disappointing. I got this one because the pink seemed a bit less intense, but I guess there's no escaping it.

The color doesn't seem to penetrate as well towards the inner part of the lips, so it tends to get deposited on the teeth. After applying, it's best to go in with a cotton swab and wipe the inner area clean. It also ends up feeling quite drying, so I'd recommend applying a lip balm on top.
