At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
This tint is for anyone seeking a comfortable, everyday lip color that combines the hydration of a balm, the shine of a gloss, and the longevity of a stain. The shade #04 Baby Otter Brown is a soft, milky brown perfect for a natural, "my lips but better" look that complements a wide range of skin tones.
- Texture: Lightweight, watery gel that feels fresh on the lips.
- Finish: High-shine, glossy finish that settles into a soft, even stain.
- Wear: The glossy layer lasts for 1-2 hours, while the stain can last for 3-4+ hours. Reapplication is needed after meals.
- Shade: #04 Baby Otter Brown is a warm-toned, natural milky brown.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Prep Lips: Start with smooth, hydrated lips. Gently exfoliate if needed and apply a light layer of lip balm.
- Apply Tint: Use the doe-foot applicator to apply one layer to the center of your lips and blend outwards for a sheer, gradient look. For a bolder color, apply a full, even coat.
- Set & Go: Allow the tint to set for 60 seconds. You can gently blot with a tissue to reduce transfer and enhance the stain, or wear it as is for maximum gloss.
Mindful Note: If you already own a similar glossy tint, consider finishing it before opening a new one to reduce waste.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
Daily Use
- Amount: Use one swipe for a sheer wash of color. Apply two to three layers for a more opaque, vibrant finish.
- Method for Gradient Lip: Apply a small amount to the inner part of your lips and use your fingertip or a brush to gently blend it outwards.
- Method for Full Lip: Use the applicator to line the edges of your lips and then fill in the center for a full, glossy pout.
- As a Cheek Tint: Dab two to three small dots on the apples of your cheeks and blend immediately with your fingers or a sponge for a natural, dewy flush. Work quickly as it stains fast.
Tips for Best Results
- Prevent Feathering: If you have fine lines around your mouth, use a clear or matching lip liner to create a barrier before applying the tint.
- Troubleshooting Patchiness: Patchy application is usually due to dry, flaky lips. Exfoliate gently with a lip scrub (like the A'pieu Honey & Milk Lip Scrub) and apply a thin layer of balm before the tint.
- Increase Longevity: For a longer-lasting stain, apply one layer, blot with a tissue, and then apply a second layer. This technique sets the pigment for extended wear.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate β 8+ weeks)
- Immediately: Lips appear glossy, plump, and tinted with a fresh wash of color. The formula feels hydrating and comfortable.
- After 1-2 Hours: The initial high-shine gloss will naturally fade, especially with drinking or talking, leaving behind a soft, even stain of color.
- After 4+ Hours (and meals): The stain will gradually fade. Reapplication is typically needed after eating or drinking to refresh the gloss and color intensity. The lips do not feel dry as the stain wears off.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
Why use a hydrating tint, not a drying matte lipstick?
While long-wearing matte liquid lipsticks promise all-day color, they often contain high levels of volatile ingredients that can severely dry out lips, leading to flaking, discomfort, and emphasizing fine lines. The ETUDE Over Glowy Tint provides a modern alternative. Its formula is designed to impart color as a stain while maintaining a layer of comfortable, non-sticky moisture and shine. This leaves lips looking plump and healthy, avoiding the tight, aged look that drying mattes can create.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
-
Works Well With:
- Lip Balm: Apply a thin layer of lip balm before the tint for extra hydration, especially if you have very dry lips.
- Lip Liner: Use a clear or nude-brown lip liner to define your lip shape and prevent any potential color bleeding.
- Clear Gloss: Layer a clear gloss on top to refresh the shine throughout the day without altering the stain underneath.
- Use Carefully: Avoid applying over very oily or greasy lip balms, as this can cause the tint to separate and wear off unevenly. Blot excess balm before application.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve) (what it helps to solve)
- Pale or colorless lips needing a natural-looking enhancement.
- Dull, dry lips that look aged by matte lipstick formulas.
- Desire for a fresh, youthful "juicy lip" look.
- Need for a low-maintenance lip color that fades gracefully without patchiness.

"Such a pretty milky brown color! It's not sticky at all and leaves a nice even stain. Itβs perfect for everyday wear, looks very natural and flattering."
β YesStyle review (2024-09)
"Baby Otter Brown is the perfect nude for me (light-medium warm tone). The glow is beautiful but doesn't last through a meal, though the stain does. Itβs a very comfortable formula that doesn't dry my lips out."
β Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2025-01)
"I love the color, but itβs a bit more subtle than I expected. You need to build it up for more impact. The glossy layer disappears fairly quickly, but the stain that's left behind is decent and fades evenly."

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered) (your questions, answered)
Is the ETUDE Over Glowy Tint transfer-proof?
No, the glossy top layer will transfer onto cups, masks, etc. However, the underlying stain is more resistant to transfer and will remain on the lips for several hours.
Is the color #04 Baby Otter Brown very dark?
No, it's a soft, milky, natural-looking brown. It's designed to be a subtle, everyday shade. The color is buildable, so you can apply more layers for a slightly deeper look, but it won't be a dark or bold brown.
How does this compare to the ETUDE Fixing Tint?
The Over Glowy Tint provides a high-shine, glossy finish and feels hydrating. The Fixing Tint, on the other hand, is a long-wearing, transfer-proof tint that dries down to a soft matte finish.
Can I use this tint on my cheeks as a blush?
Yes. Because of its watery-gel texture, it can be used as a liquid blush. Dab a few small dots onto your cheeks and blend quickly with your fingers or a dense brush for a dewy, natural flush of color. Be sure to blend immediately, as it can stain the skin quickly.
The Final Verdict (At-a-Glance) (summary of pros and cons)
- Best For: Those who want a comfortable, non-drying lip color with a natural, glossy finish.
- Key Benefits: Provides a beautiful "juicy lip" look, feels hydrating and lightweight, and leaves an even, long-lasting stain. The "Baby Otter Brown" shade is a perfect everyday neutral.
- Keep in Mind: The high-shine finish is not transfer-proof and will need reapplication after eating to maintain the gloss. The color payoff is sheer to medium and requires layering for a bolder look.
