Pros

Bought this product for nostalgia's sake. It's perfect for those who love long-lasting color. The tint stays on even after eating!

Cons

It doesn't apply evenly and the color tends to concentrate in the center of the lips. I probably won't repurchase.

Pros

It's a water-gel tint with a fluorescent coral and pink hue. Being a water-based formula, it feels light on the lips without any stickiness. Rather than wearing it alone, I found it works best as a base layer for staining, then topping it with a glossy tint for a beautiful finish.

Cons

As expected with water tints, it tends to highlight lip dead skin cells, offers no moisturizing properties whatsoever, and can be quite drying.

Pros

The color adheres well and dries quickly, which I love. I've been a fan of Dear Darling for a while now. Great value for money!

Cons

Be careful as it comes off quickly when it comes in contact with water. Make sure to close the container tightly to prevent it from drying out. Also, be mindful of how much product you use.

Pros

The color payoff is impressive. I thought a water tint would be matte, but it actually has a nice moisturizing feel.

Cons

Despite being called 'Tangerine Red', it stains more like a hot pink rather than a true red shade.

Tip

Apply once, blot with a tissue, then top with a clear lip balm. This keeps lips hydrated and the color lasting even in dry seasons.

Pros

This tint is such a throwback! It looks orange before application, but turns into a vibrant fluorescent pink when applied! These types of tints used to be everywhere, but they're hard to find nowadays.

Cons

Honestly... there are no downsides. The color payoff is so intense that you only need a tiny bit, so the amount you get might be too much. But that's actually a plus!

Tip

The staining power is incredible, giving you a perfect pink! If you're into this kind of tint, try applying it as a base, then layer a more nude lip color on top, followed by a pop of color as an accent. Even as it fades, the stain from this tint ensures your lips stay colorful.

Pros

(From left to right in the photo: Grapefruit Red, Tangerine Red, Cherry Red) The center shade is Tangerine Red. The tint colors and pigmentation are nice. It's a good value for the price.

Cons

After application, it lacks the characteristic matte finish of water tints. Instead, it leaves a moisturizing feeling like other lip products, which I don't particularly enjoy.

Pros

Well... First off, this tint stains incredibly well and has a fluorescent glow to it! It also has this retro vibe from back in the day, making it a cute and unique tint. Plus, there's plenty of product, so you can apply it liberally without worry. And when you blend it out, the color payoff is absolutely gorgeous!

Cons

Hmm, unfortunately there are quite a few downsides, which is why I gave it 3 stars. The actual color of this tint is quite different from what's shown on the product page. I thought it would have more of a red undertone, but it's actually more of a fluorescent pink. It didn't quite suit my deep undertone. This would probably look amazing on cool-toned individuals or those with deeper undertones! Also, whatever you do, don't blend with your fingers! While it doesn't transfer much once it's dry, if you touch it before it sets, your fingers will look like you've been coloring with highlighters!

Tip

This tint is seriously long-lasting and highly pigmented! For those who struggle with touch-ups or need their lip color to stay put, here's a tip: Apply this tint first, then gently pat your cushion foundation over it, and finally apply your desired lip color on top. While the top layer of tint and cushion might wear off, this base tint will remain, leaving you with beautifully stained lips even as the day goes on!

Pros

I'm using this as a lip base for staining when doing bright cool-toned makeup. I highly recommend it for those who prefer good color payoff.

Cons

There's not much to complain about! Even though it has an orange tint, which you might think wouldn't work for cool complexions, it's surprisingly decent.

Pros

When applied, it instantly brightens up your complexion. I usually just swipe it on once, but in the photo it looks like it's been applied twice, resulting in a more intense color. While that shade is accurate, I personally prefer to tone down my natural lip color slightly when I use it. It's affordable and often comes with 1+1 promotions. Keep in mind, it stains quite intensely.

Cons

These Etude line tints have a peculiar tendency to make lips feel increasingly dry over time after application. They also tend to settle unattractively into dry patches, becoming noticeably darker in those areas.

Tip

Applying lip balm beforehand is absolutely essential.
