Tired of lipsticks that fade or feel sticky in the heat? This marker tint offers a smudge-proof pop of raspberry colour that feels like nothing on the lips. It’s perfect for creating both soft, gradient looks and bold, full coverage that lasts through sips and snacks. The fine marker tip gives you total control for a clean, defined lip line every time.

1. Prep Lips: Start with smooth, lightly moisturised lips.
2. Apply [THIS PRODUCT]: Use the marker tip to outline and fill. See "How to Use" for gradient vs. full lip techniques.
3. Finish (Optional): Add a clear gloss on top for extra shine once the tint has set.

Note: Already own a similar lip stain? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

• Amount: One clean swipe is often enough. The colour is buildable for more intensity.
• Apply to: Clean, dry lips.
• Method for Gradient Lips:
  1. Dab a few dots of colour onto the inner part of your upper and lower lips.
  2. Quickly blend outwards with your fingertip or by pressing your lips together before it dries.
• Method for Full Lips:
  1. Use the precision marker tip to carefully trace your natural lip line.
  2. Fill in the rest of your lips with the flat side of the marker. Apply a second layer for a more vivid look.
• If-This / Then-That:
  • Dry Lips? Exfoliate gently and apply a thin layer of lip balm 5-10 minutes before the tint to prevent patchiness. Blot excess balm before application.
  • Colour Fading Unevenly? This can happen after eating oily foods. Simply re-apply a light layer to the faded areas to touch up.
• Watchouts: Work quickly, as water-based tints dry fast! Avoid applying on broken or chapped lips.

• Immediate: A vibrant, semi-glossy stain of raspberry colour appears on the lips. It will feel lightweight and watery upon application.
• After 1-2 minutes: The tint sets to a long-lasting, smudge-resistant finish. The initial glossiness subsides into a natural-looking stain.
• After 4-6+ hours: The colour remains visible, fading gracefully over time. Longevity may be reduced by eating oily meals.

• Why this, not lipstick? Unlike traditional creamy lipsticks that can smudge, transfer, or feel heavy in humidity, this water-based tint stains the lips directly for a lightweight, transfer-proof finish that looks more natural and lasts longer through the day.
• Why this, not DIY berry stains? Using real berries is unpredictable and can cause irritation or uneven colour. This tint is formulated with cosmetic-grade, safety-tested pigments for a consistent, vibrant, and safe result every time.

• Normal to Oily Lips: Excellent. The formula adheres well without adding extra oiliness.
• Dry or Chapped Lips: Use with caution. Proper lip prep is essential. Exfoliate and moisturise well before application, as the tint can cling to and emphasize dry patches.

• Long-lasting, vivid colour
• Smudge-proof and transfer-resistant wear
• Natural gradient or "popsicle lip" effect
• Precise and easy application

With 3.5g of product, a little goes a long way. Assuming daily use with 2-3 swipes per application:

• Estimated Uses: Approximately 150-200+ applications.
• Reorder Cadence: With regular daily use, you can expect this tint to last 4-6 months. Reorder when the marker tip begins to feel less saturated.

This marker tint is an excellent choice if your primary concerns are achieving a long-lasting, smudge-proof lip stain with a precise applicator.

No in-catalog alternatives are available today that offer the same marker-style application. However, if your needs are different:

• If you need more hydration: Consider a glossy tint or a tinted lip balm, which will offer more moisture but less staining power.
• If you prefer a matte finish: Look for a velvet or matte liquid lipstick formula.

Mindful-use: If you already have a lip stain you enjoy that addresses your concern, there’s no need to add another right now—finish what you have first.

• Format: 3.5g marker-style pen with a firm, rounded felt tip.
• Hygiene: The cap clicks on securely to prevent drying out. Avoid sharing lip products to maintain hygiene.
• Recycling (Mauritius): The outer plastic casing is generally not recyclable in local household collection. Please dispose of it in your regular trash.
• Travel: Highly portable and secure. The cap prevents leaks, making it perfect for travel.

Aggregated sentiment from online beauty communities. Marked as anecdotal.

• "I know everyone is trashing this but I love it. I apply it like a liquid lipstick all over my lips, let it set for five minutes and dab the extra after that. It lasts me whole day, even after meals." - Reddit, r/IndianMakeupAddicts (thread 2024-01)
• "Used to have it and hated it. No matter what I did it used to just stick to the lines of my lips and made my lips look extremely weird. I exfoliated before application and then used a lip balm before applying this tint but it still wouldn't go on properly." - Reddit, r/IndianMakeupAddicts (thread 2024-01)
• Fair Caveat: User experiences are highly dependent on lip condition. Those with dry or textured lips often find water tints challenging to apply evenly. Proper lip preparation is key to getting the best result.
