A weightless, hydro-matte lip tint that sets in 60 seconds to a transfer-proof finish. The vibrant Coral Breeze shade delivers a fresh, energetic look that stays put through Mauritius' heat, humidity, and daily mask-wearing, offering comfortable, long-lasting colour without smudging or fading.

Finding a lip colour that doesn't smudge onto your mask or melt away in the heat can feel like an endless search. The ETUDE Fixing Tint is designed to solve exactly that.

• Texture: A lightweight, watery fluid that spreads easily.
• Finish: Dries down to a soft, comfortable velvet-matte finish within about 60 seconds.
• Wear: Once set, it is significantly transfer-proof and smudge-resistant, making it ideal for wearing under masks or for long days.
• Shade: #19 Coral Breeze is a bright, cheerful coral with a hint of pink—a perfect everyday colour for a fresh, lively look in a tropical climate.
• Who it's for: Anyone seeking a long-lasting, low-maintenance lip colour that won't transfer. It's especially suited for oily skin types or those in humid environments where creamy lipsticks can feel heavy or slide off.

1. Prep: Start with clean, dry lips. If your lips are flaky, gently exfoliate first. Apply a light layer of lip balm and blot off any excess.
2. Apply [THIS PRODUCT]: Wipe excess product off the applicator. Apply a thin, even layer to your lips. Work quickly as it sets fast.
3. Set & Go: Let it dry for 60 seconds without pressing your lips together. Once dry, it's ready for your day. At night, use an oil-based cleanser to remove.

Note: Already own a similar lip tint? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption (substitute, don’t stack).

This tint sets quickly, so application technique matters for a smooth finish.

[Two Main Application Methods]

• For a Full, Bold Lip:
  1. Start with a thin layer on the inner part of your lips.
  2. Spread it outwards towards the edges using the doe-foot applicator.
  3. Wait 60 seconds for it to dry completely to a matte, transfer-proof finish. Avoid rubbing your lips together while it's drying.
• For a Soft, Gradient Lip (K-Beauty Style):
  1. Apply a few dots of tint only to the inner center of your lips.
  2. Quickly use your fingertip or a clean brush to gently blend and smudge the colour outwards.
  3. The outer edges of your lips should have a soft, blurred wash of colour. Let it set.

[Important Tips]

• Prep is Key: For the smoothest look, exfoliate lips with a gentle scrub and apply a lip balm 5-10 minutes before application. Blot the balm off right before applying the tint. This prevents the matte formula from emphasizing dry patches.
• How to Remove: This tint is designed to stay put, so water alone won't remove it. Use a bi-phase (oil and water) lip & eye remover or a cleansing oil. Apply the remover to a cotton pad, hold it on your lips for 10-15 seconds to dissolve the tint, then gently wipe away.
• Layering: Apply a thin layer first. If you want more intensity, you can add a second layer after the first has completely dried. Applying too thick a layer at once can lead to a less comfortable feel or flaking.

• Immediate (First 60 seconds): The tint applies as a light fluid, then quickly dries down to a comfortable, non-sticky matte finish. The colour appears vibrant and opaque.
• Within 1-4 Hours: The tint remains smudge-proof and transfer-resistant, even with light drinking or mask-wearing. The colour stays true and does not feel heavy.
• After 4-8+ Hours: The colour will gradually and evenly fade, especially after an oily meal. It typically wears down into a soft, natural-looking stain rather than becoming patchy, providing colour for most of the day.

• Works Well With:
  • Lip Balm (Before): Essential for prepping the lips. Apply a hydrating balm, let it sink in for a few minutes, then blot away any excess before applying the tint. This creates a smooth canvas.
  • Lip Liner (Before): For a super crisp, defined lip line, you can outline your lips with a matching liner before filling in with the tint.
• Use Carefully With:
  • Lip Gloss (After): Applying a gloss on top will add shine but will negate the transfer-proof, matte properties of the tint. The tint will act as a long-lasting base colour underneath the gloss.
• Avoid On:
  • Very Chapped or Flaky Lips: The matte formula can cling to and emphasize dry, flaky patches. It's best to heal chapped lips with a good lip mask or balm before using this tint for the smoothest result.

This product is primarily a cosmetic solution designed to address:

• Colour Transfer: Prevents lip colour from smudging onto cups, clothes, or face masks.
• Fading & Reapplication: Provides long-lasting colour that requires minimal to no touch-ups throughout the day.
• Heavy or Sticky Feel: Offers a lightweight, comfortable matte finish that doesn't feel thick or sticky, which is ideal for hot and humid weather.

However, the brand is not independently certified by bodies like Leaping Bunny or PETA. Because their products may be sold in Mainland China, where post-market testing could be required in rare cases, its cruelty-free status cannot be guaranteed to the strictest standards.

• MFDS (Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, formerly KFDA) Class: General Cosmetic. This product is not classified as a Functional Cosmetic and makes no claims regarding UV protection, brightening, or wrinkle improvement.
• Clinical Evidence for Claims: The "transfer-proof" and "long-lasting" claims are based on brand-led consumer panel tests and instrumental testing (e.g., mask smudge tests). The specific protocols and full datasets for these tests are not publicly available for independent verification.

Brand claim—no public dataset available for independent verification.

While the full INCI list is not disclosed by the brand for all regions, the formula's performance is based on the following key components:

• Film-Forming Polymers: Ingredients like Isododecane and Trimethylsiloxysilicate create a flexible, breathable film on the lips. This film locks the pigments in place, preventing them from transferring once the watery base has evaporated.
• Dimethicone Crosspolymer: A silicone-based polymer that contributes to the smooth, velvety feel and matte finish. It helps to fill in fine lines on the lips for a blurred, soft-focus effect.
• Pigments: A blend of coated pigments (e.g., Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, various Red and Yellow lakes) provide the vibrant, long-lasting colour.

Full INCI: The complete ingredient list is not provided by the distributor for this region. We recommend performing a patch test if you have known allergies to cosmetic colorants or silicones.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance ('Parfum'/'Fragrance').
• Scent Profile: Users describe the scent as a light, sweet, and subtly fruity fragrance that dissipates shortly after application. Intensity: 1/5.
• EU Allergens: The full list of potential EU allergens cannot be verified without the complete INCI list. As a precaution, a patch test is recommended for highly sensitive individuals.

EU allergen list cannot be fully verified without complete INCI; patch test advised.

• Who should use it: Suitable for all skin types, intended for adult use.
• Who should use with caution: Individuals with extremely dry, cracked, or sensitive lips may find the matte formula uncomfortable or accentuating of texture. Ensure lips are well-moisturised before use.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount of the tint to your inner arm. Wait 24 hours to check for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation. If a reaction occurs, do not use the product on your lips.
• General Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use immediately if a rash, irritation, or other adverse reaction occurs and consult a clinician if symptoms persist. Keep out of reach of children.

• Texture: A very thin, watery liquid that glides on smoothly.
• Feel: Feels cool and wet upon application, then dries down to a weightless, flexible film. It is not sticky or heavy.
• Finish: A true velvet-matte finish. It is not glossy and does not have any shimmer.
• pH: Not published by the brand, but typical for such formulations to be in the neutral range (pH 6-7) for comfort on the lips.

• Issue: The colour looks patchy or clings to dry spots.
  • Fix: Your lips are likely dehydrated. Gently exfoliate with a lip scrub, then apply a rich lip balm or mask. Let it absorb for 10-15 minutes, then blot off any excess before applying the tint. This creates a smooth canvas.
• Issue: The tint feels drying after a few hours.
  • Fix: While the formula is designed to be comfortable, all matte products can feel drying over time. Apply a very light layer of a non-oily lip balm over the top to add moisture without completely breaking down the transfer-proof film.
• Issue: The colour settles into my lip lines.
  • Fix: You may be applying too much product. Use the applicator to apply one very thin layer and spread it evenly. A thinner layer is less likely to bunch up or settle into lines.

The ETUDE Fixing Tint is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summers: The lightweight, non-sticky formula feels comfortable and breathable, unlike heavy, creamy lipsticks that can feel like they're melting in high humidity. Its smudge-proof properties ensure your lip colour stays crisp and clean, even with perspiration.
• Drier Winters: While less humid, indoor air-conditioning can be drying. Ensure your lips are well-moisturised with a balm before application to maintain comfort throughout the day.
• Shade Suitability: The #19 Coral Breeze shade is a bright and fresh colour that complements sunny weather and tropical aesthetics beautifully. It adds a vibrant pop of colour without being overpowering for daytime wear.

To get the most out of your ETUDE Fixing Tint, a good prep and removal routine is key. Consider these pairings from our catalog:

[The Perfect Prep & Removal Kit]

• A'pieu HONEY & MILK LIP SCRUB — Gently buffs away dry flakes for a perfectly smooth canvas before you apply the tint.
• [THIS PRODUCT] — Your long-lasting, smudge-proof lip colour.
• Anua HEARLEAF PORE CONTROL CLEANSING OIL MILD 200ML — Effectively melts away the stubborn tint at the end of the day without harsh rubbing.

[The Overnight Lip Care Duo]

• LANEIGE LIP SLEEPING MASK EX [BERRY] 20G — Apply this rich mask overnight to wake up with deeply hydrated, soft lips, creating the ideal base for your matte tint.
• [THIS PRODUCT] — Apply in the morning for vibrant, all-day colour on your perfectly prepped lips.

The ETUDE Fixing Tint is an excellent choice if your primary goal is a long-lasting, truly matte, and transfer-proof finish.

However, depending on your preference for finish and feel, consider these other options from our catalog:

• For a More Hydrating, Sheer Stain: ETUDE DEAR DARLING WATER GEL TINT #08 WATER MELON RED 5G — Choose this if you prefer a lighter, more translucent wash of colour with a comfortable, jelly-like texture. It provides a stain but is not fully transfer-proof and has a slight sheen.
• For a Glossy, Juicy Finish: rom&nd ROMAND JUICY LASTING TINT — Choose this if you love a high-shine, plump, and glossy look. It leaves a stain behind as the gloss wears off, but it is not matte or transfer-proof.
• For a Classic Watery Stain: ETUDE DEAR DARLING WATER TINT 9G — Choose this if you want the most traditional, lightweight, and fast-absorbing water tint. It feels like nothing on the lips and gives a natural-looking stain, but it may not be as long-wearing as the Fixing Tint.

Mindful-use: If you already have a comparable matte liquid lipstick at home, we encourage you to finish it first to avoid waste and make an informed comparison on performance.

• Format: 4g plastic tube with a doe-foot applicator designed for precise application. The packaging is colour-matched to the tint shade inside.

• Recycling (Mauritius): The plastic tube (PP) is recyclable in Mauritius. Please rinse the container before placing it in your recycling bin. The outer paper box is also recyclable.
• Storage & Travel: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the pigments and formula. The secure, screw-top cap and compact size make it leak-proof and ideal for travel.

"This is my holy grail for mask-wearing. I apply it in the morning and it literally does not move all day. Coral Breeze is such a pretty, everyday colour that brightens up my face."

– Paraphrased from YesStyle review (2024-05)

"It's definitely long-lasting, but you have to work fast because it dries in seconds! Also, make sure your lips are exfoliated, otherwise it can look a bit patchy. But once it's on, it's on."

– Paraphrased from Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024-03)

"I love that it's not super drying like other liquid lipsticks. It feels really lightweight, I forget I'm even wearing it. It does fade a bit if I eat something oily, but it leaves a nice stain behind."

How do I prevent the Fixing Tint from making my lips look dry?

The key is preparation. Exfoliate your lips 1-2 times a week and always apply a hydrating lip balm 5-10 minutes before the tint. Blot off any excess balm, then apply the tint. This ensures the matte formula goes on smoothly and feels comfortable.

Is this the same as a water tint?

No. A traditional water tint (like the ETUDE Dear Darling Water Tint) has a very thin, watery consistency that stains the lips with a sheer, natural finish. The Fixing Tint has a slightly more substantial "hydro-matte" formula that creates an opaque, velvet film on top of the lips, making it more pigmented and significantly more transfer-proof.

Can I wear this with a lip balm on top?

You can, but it will compromise the transfer-proof and matte finish. The oils in the lip balm will break down the tint's setting film. It's best to apply balm before the tint, not after.

• Best For: Individuals looking for a reliable, everyday lip colour that will not smudge or transfer, especially in hot, humid weather or when wearing a mask.
• Key Benefits: Truly long-lasting and transfer-proof once set. Lightweight, comfortable hydro-matte feel. Vibrant, even colour payoff.
• Keep in Mind: Requires well-moisturised lips for the best application, as it can highlight dryness. Must be removed with an oil-based cleanser. The formula sets very quickly, so you need to blend it fast if creating a gradient look.
