• What it is: A liquid lip stain in a convenient marker-pen format for precise, controlled application.
• Who it's for: Ideal for those who want a vivid, long-wearing lip color that won't smudge, transfer, or feel sticky in the heat. Perfect for creating both natural gradient lips and bold full-lip looks.
• What to expect: A watery fluid that applies smoothly and dries down to a natural-looking matte stain. The color is buildable, from a sheer wash to an opaque pop of Pink Tangerine.

1. Prep Lips: Start with smooth, exfoliated lips. A quick scrub removes any dry flakes for an even stain.
2. Apply Tint: Use the marker tip to outline your lips, then fill them in. For a softer look, apply to the inner part of your lips and blend outwards with a finger.
3. Add Moisture (Optional): Once the tint is dry, you can apply a clear lip balm or gloss on top for extra hydration and a shiny finish.

Mindful Tip: Already own a similar lip stain? Finish that one first before opening a new product to prevent waste.

Daily Use:

• Amount: One to two layers are usually sufficient. The color is buildable.
• Method 1 (Gradient Lip): Apply a few dots to the inner center of your lips. Quickly use your fingertip or a brush to blend the color outwards, leaving the edges of your lips soft and faded.
• Method 2 (Full Lip): Use the precision marker tip to carefully trace your lip line. Then, use the flat side of the marker to fill in the rest of your lips. Allow it to dry for about 60 seconds.
• Frequency: Apply in the morning. Touch up as needed after heavy meals. The stain will naturally fade over several hours.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your lips are dry: Apply a thin layer of lip balm and blot it off before applying the tint. This prevents the stain from clinging to dry patches.
• If you want a glossy finish: Wait for the tint to dry completely, then apply a clear or shimmery gloss on top.
• If the color is too bold: Apply a small amount and immediately blot with a tissue for a sheer, natural-looking stain.

Watchouts: Uneven color is often due to dry patches on the lips—exfoliate first. If it feels drying, remember to layer a balm on top. The marker tip can dry out if the cap is not secured tightly after each use.

• Immediately: A vibrant layer of "Pink Tangerine" color with a slightly damp feel that dries down within a minute to a matte, transfer-resistant finish.
• After 1-4 hours: The initial layer of color remains bright. It should withstand drinking and light snacking with minimal fading.
• After 4-8 hours: The color will have faded into a soft, even stain that looks natural. Oily foods may cause it to fade faster from the center of the lips. The stain remains visible until removed with a makeup remover.

• Why this, not that heavy lipstick? In Mauritius's humidity, creamy lipsticks can feel heavy, smudge easily, and melt. A marker tint provides the same vibrant color but in a weightless, water-based formula that stains the lips for a transfer-proof finish that lasts through the heat.
• Why this, not DIY beet juice stains? While natural, homemade stains from beet juice are inconsistent, can be sticky, and fade unevenly. This marker tint is formulated with cosmetic-grade pigments for a uniform, predictable, and long-lasting color that is hygienically packaged and stable.

• Works Well With:
  • Lip Balm: Apply a thin layer of balm *before* the tint to moisturize, or *after* for a hydrated, satin finish. We recommend the Torriden SOLID IN Ceramide Lip Essence.
  • Lip Gloss/Oil: Layering a clear or shimmery gloss on top of the dried tint adds shine and dimension. The A'pieu HONEY&MILK LIP OIL is a great pairing.
  • Lip Liner: For an ultra-sharp look, you can use a lip liner before applying the tint, though the marker tip is often precise enough on its own.
• Use With Caution On:
  • Very Chapped or Peeling Lips: The tint's pigment can settle into dry patches and cracks, creating an uneven, patchy appearance. Always exfoliate and moisturize chapped lips before application.

• Desire for long-lasting lip color that survives eating and drinking.
• Dislike of heavy, sticky, or transferable lipstick textures.
• Need for a precise lip product to create clean lines or gradient effects.
• Achieving a vibrant lip look that remains comfortable in hot, humid weather.

Aggregated sentiment from online beauty forums. Experiences are individual and your results may vary.

• On Application and Finish: Many users praise the marker format for its ease of use and precision, especially for creating a sharp lip line. A YesStyle reviewer (2020-08) mentioned, "The marker tip is great for outlining... gives a very natural-looking stain that isn't sticky at all."
• On Longevity: The staining power is consistently highlighted as a major pro. An Amazon customer (2019-11) noted, "This stuff lasts for hours! It survives coffee and lunch, just fades a little in the middle."
• A Fair Caveat (Dryness): A common point of feedback is that, like many long-lasting tints, it can be drying. A Reddit user on r/AsianBeauty (2019-05) advised, "Definitely moisturize your lips before and after. If you have dry lips, it will cling to flakes. A good lip balm on top makes it perfect."

Your skin health and satisfaction are our highest priorities.

1. How is a marker tint different from a regular liquid tint or lipstick?
   A marker tint uses a felt tip to deliver a very thin, watery fluid that stains the lips for a natural, matte finish. It offers more precision than a doe-foot applicator and feels more weightless than a creamy lipstick or even some gel tints.
2. Is this product drying?
   Long-lasting lip stains can be drying for some individuals as they contain fewer moisturizing oils than traditional lipsticks. We recommend applying a lip balm underneath or a gloss on top if you have dry lips.
3. How do I remove it at the end of the day?
   Because it's a stain, water alone may not be sufficient. Use an oil-based cleanser or a dedicated lip and eye makeup remover on a cotton pad to dissolve the color gently and completely.

• Best For: Those seeking precise, long-wearing lip color with a natural, weightless feel.
• Key Benefits: Excellent for creating both defined full lips and soft gradient looks. The stain is transfer-resistant and comfortable in humid weather.
