There's some accentuation of flaky skin? I guess that's just how it is with tints. It's drying.

The color was great for cool-toned people and applied well with good pigmentation, so I really liked it. It's a shame it was discontinued, but since the line itself still exists, I'll go look for another pretty color.

더 퍼스트 젤 틴트 [GT2 오렌지멜로우]

It's really disappointing that it has been discontinued, as it seemed to be a very watery tint

The durability was long-lasting and the color was the most vibrant and nice, but it has been discontinued ㅠ

You have to apply lip balm before using it!

✅Application
..You all know the downside of watery tints, right?
It doesn't apply well on the upper lip. Because of this, I have to apply lip balm beforehand, which is annoying...
✅Color Payoff
When applied on the lips, it turns a bit pink.
When it fades, it becomes pinkish.

✅Watery Tint
I was disappointed that watery tints haven't been coming out much lately, but the Maeji Watery Tint is so pretty. As a watery tint lover, I'm delighted.
✅Color
It's orange, but a red-orange, which I like.
The perfect color for a watery tint!
✅Longevity
It stays on a bit even after eating.
But it doesn't last incredibly long, unfortunately. 
✅Amount
Even after using a lot, it doesn't seem to run out. Not sure if that's good or bad.
I'll have to try other products as well.

I don't think there was anything particularly disappointing.
Apart from the occasional random shedding, it was good for me.

It doesn't wipe off easily even after eating, and I like that.
As long as you dry it well at first, it seems to get nicely stained, which is good.

You should apply and fill in a deeper color inside.

The scent is way too strong, an odd orange smell comes up..

Long-lasting, no flaking, good lip care is pretty good.

The color is too cool-toned for me ㅠㅠ
The color is too hot pink? -ish, so ㅠㅜㅠㅠ
It's a shame ㅠㅠㅠ

The case is very high-quality and luxurious!!
It doesn't seem to leak much either, haha
But ㅠ it doesn't seem to be my style ㅠㅠ

I applied it thickly as a lip product and let it sit for 10-30 seconds, then wiped it off with a cleansing tissue. When I applied it thinly and wiped it off with a wet tissue, it looked blotchy and not pretty.

Contrary to the product name, it is not orange. At this level, it should be considered a red.

The pigmentation is extremely powerful. I often end up throwing away tints in this formulation because I can't apply them prettily, and of course, I failed to apply this one beautifully as well. But as soon as I sensed the failure, I rubbed it off with a cleansing tissue, and yet the pigmentation was still very evenly applied. But surprisingly, I decided not to throw it away because I liked it.

Not recommended is a tip! Even if you buy it cheaply on sale, it's really not recommended!!

When I bought the Merzy cushion, I paid about 2,000 won more than the Merzy official discount price and got the tint + color bomb lipstick + mascara, but it doesn't seem like a good deal. 
All the lip products are terrible... It seems they should change their reputation from a color cosmetics specialty to a cushion specialty.
The mascara isn't bad, but honestly, it's not worth it.
I should have just bought the cushion for 2,000 won less...

Application: At first, it applies moistly. Unlike other reviews, you shouldn't use an ultrasonic wave, as it will just slide off.
In fact, no matter how you apply it, the downsides will be highlighted!
Just using an ultrasonic wave will cause it to completely slide off.

Flakiness: After exfoliating, most lip products apply cleanly and prettily, but this one absorbs the moisture from the lips over time, creating flakiness.
(I even exfoliated, lightly applied lip balm, and then put on the tint.)

Staining: It doesn't just stain after some time, but from the very first application, the inner part stains deeply, while the outer part doesn't stain and looks patchy. Since it slides off with the ultrasonic wave, you can't even neaten it up.
I wonder how they made this tint... It's not easy to do this.

I haven't used many gel tints, but even the cheap Etude House and Tony Mony tints I used in school weren't this bad.
Even the Peripera Gelato tint, which is a gel tint, was better than this.

Not all gel tints have the same drawbacks as this Merzy one... This tint is truly special!

What exactly are the good points...?
The coral pink color actually helps, despite the name being the opposite.
Personally, the color itself is not bad!

🌈After applying to the lips, don't pat them, but use a cotton swab or fingertip to gently smudge from the inside out for a more natural look.

💧One somewhat disappointing aspect is that when I pat my upper and lower lips, it looks really strange...Other lipsticks become nicely blurred and pretty when you do that, but this tint ends up with the inner part wiped off and only the outer lip color remaining.
💧The color payoff is quite good, but after eating, the lip line is inevitably all that's left ㅠㅠㅠ

My lips are quite flaky too....!
🌱The color payoff and staining are almost similar. It has a thin and smooth application.

🌱It has less emphasis on lip flakiness compared to other tints. Since my lips are a bit flaky, the staining doesn't work as well and there is quite a bit of flakiness, but it's still quite nice.

This is a well-known method, but be careful not to apply too much - apply once, blot with a tissue, and then apply again (the color payoff is great, so you don't want it to get too intense!!)

The ingredients are a bit disappointing... I wish there were also good ingredient products available!

This product is so good that I'm curious why it's not showing up! After just using lipstick, I found this Merjitint product that has great lasting power and beautiful summer colors - it's just so delicious...

It doesn't help with the orange at all... It's just pink.
I was a bit unsure when I tested it, but I thought maybe it's because I applied it over my makeup, or maybe it's the lighting... But since the name is 'orange', I thought it would be fine. However, it's definitely not orange... haha
The longevity is also not very good.

The application is smooth and even. It's not as matte as I expected, and it looks quite natural.
It applies thinly on the lips, but the color payoff is good.
