It's disappointing that the color doesn't match its name. Instead of the expected shade, it's more of a bright red-pink.

The long-lasting power and intense pigmentation are fantastic. I love that I don't need to reapply it to keep my lips looking great.

디어 달링 워터젤 틴트 [RD302 드라큘라레드]

The lip color was too dark for my complexion.

The color perfectly matches the product name 'Dracula Red' - it's spot on!

Avoid if you tend to have chapped lips. Applying it to peeling areas results in intense, uneven staining.

If you're a fan of deep reds, this is a must-buy. It's affordable and comes in a generous size that's hard to find these days.

For a stunning look, apply a matte lipstick first, then layer this tint on top. Blend it with a cotton swab for a truly beautiful finish

The downside is that it comes off easily, and there's a limited color range with mostly red shades

The water-based tint blends well with other tints, making it great for mixing and matching

It doesn't adhere well to the lips and tends to sit on the surface. It takes some time before it starts to feel better.

It's amazing how it feels exactly the same as when I used it years ago. It's quite nice even when applied on its own.

Being a water tint, it might be challenging for beginners to use.

Great value for money and the color is beautiful. Compared to other brands, both the color and flavor are excellent.

The scent is a bit off-putting. Since it's a water tint, I think it could work just fine unscented. I hope they consider this in future reformulations.

Dear Darling is my absolute go-to! I adore every shade so much that I'd love to review them all. I don't use it for a full lip look, but instead, I apply an orange-tinted base (Dear Darling - Tangerine Red) and then dab this Dracula Red a couple of times on the inner part of my lips. The color combination is stunning! It's always in my bag.

It leaves my lips feeling a bit dry after application, and most importantly, it stains way too intensely. Also, I noticed the ingredients aren't that great...

As someone with cool undertones, I absolutely loved the color! It's like the quintessential student lip tint.

The price-to-volume ratio is incredibly generous. As an entry-level tint, it looks so pretty when you apply just one layer and let it sink in naturally, as if it's your own lip color. Layer it on for a bolder, sexier look that's equally beautiful.

There's probably not a single person who didn't carry this tint in their school uniform pocket. If I had to nitpick, the only downside might be that due to its liquid consistency, it can get messy when opening and closing the cap. Despite its moisturizing application, it's not particularly hydrating. Etude's Dear Darling is like the gold standard of tints. Please don't ever discontinue it!

Etude's Water Gel is such an affordable throwback tint! The runny formula packs a punch with its color intensity. The Dear Darling Tint is a winner in terms of color payoff and staining power. It doesn't emphasize fine lines, and the staying power is insane!

It looks best when used for creating a gradient effect on the inner lips over a base of another lipstick. It pairs well with any lip color, allowing you to adjust the intensity - go bold over a dark base or subtle over a lighter one

When used alone, it tends to stain just a single line on the inner part of the lips, which feels insufficient and can look patchy

The nostalgic color, texture, and design... The shade itself is truly beautiful

It feels too dry once it sets, and personally, I found the scent so off-putting that I didn't want to apply it. This product just didn't work for me, so after using it once or twice, it ended up forgotten in a drawer... sigh.

The formula glides on like water, the color payoff is decent, and it's affordable with a generous amount of product.

It stains pink and dries out my lips, causing them to crack and flake.

I absolutely adore burgundy shades, but the Vampire Red from the same line was too cool-toned, making my warm complexion look lifeless. However, Dracula Red strikes the perfect balance, which I really appreciate.

It just dries up so fast as soon as you put it on.
So I apply it in patches and then use a Benefit brush to blend it out for a gradient effect.

It dries out so quickly when you apply it, and it really irritates my lips.
I had to spend a long time wiping it off after applying it all over my lips.

It's so pretty when you apply it to your lips!
The color is a deep red, but unfortunately the swatch turns out to be more of a pink. If you're looking for a vibrant red, I'd recommend the Etude House Darling Red from this line.
The price range is also very good, and I'd definitely repurchase if it runs out.
