• What it is: A lightweight, hydro-matte lip tint that sets quickly to a smudge-proof finish that feels like nothing on the lips.
• What it does: Delivers rich, full-coverage color that lasts for hours without transferring to your cup, your clothes, or the inside of a mask.
• The Shade: #12 Salmon Brick is a versatile and sophisticated muted coral-brown with a warm, rosy undertone. It's the perfect "My Lips But Better" (MLBB) shade for everyday wear.
• Why it's perfect for Mauritius: Its transfer-proof formula is built to withstand heat and humidity. Enjoy a flawless matte lip that won't melt, smudge, or fade, no matter the weather.

1. Prep Lips: For the smoothest look, start with exfoliated lips. Apply a light lip balm and blot away any excess.
2. Apply Tint: Using the applicator, swipe a single, thin layer of the Fixing Tint onto your lips.
3. Let It Set: Wait for about 60 seconds without pressing your lips together. The tint will dry down to a beautiful, transfer-proof matte finish.

Mindful Tip: Already own a similar matte lip color? We encourage you to finish it first to prevent waste before trying a new one.

This versatile tint can be worn in two popular ways:

• For a Bold, Full Lip: Use the tip of the doe-foot applicator to carefully outline your lip line. Then, use the flat side to fill in your lips with one even coat. A little goes a long way.
• For a Soft, Gradient Lip (K-Beauty Style): Dab a small amount of tint onto the inner center of your lips. Use your fingertip or a clean brush to gently blend the color outwards, creating a soft, blurred stain that fades towards the edges.

Pro-Tips for Best Wear:

• No Pilling: Ensure lips are completely dry and free of any oily balm before application for the tint to adhere properly and not pill.
• Longevity: The formula is designed to be long-lasting, but very oily foods can cause it to break down.
• Removal: Because it's so durable, this tint won't come off with just water. Use an oil-based cleanser or a dedicated lip and eye makeup remover to dissolve it gently without scrubbing.

• Immediate: Upon application, you'll get a vibrant, even layer of color with a lightweight, watery feel.
• After 60 Seconds: The tint fully sets to a comfortable, non-drying "hydro-matte" finish. It becomes smudge-proof and transfer-proof.
• After 4-6+ Hours: The color remains strong and even, with minimal fading. Unlike many matte lipsticks, it wears away gracefully without cracking or looking patchy.

• Why This, Not Drying Liquid Lipsticks: Many matte liquid lipsticks can feel heavy, crack, and dry out your lips. The Fixing Tint's "hydro-matte" formula is infused with ingredients that prevent that uncomfortable, tight feeling, offering a matte look with a weightless feel.
• Why This, Not Messy Glosses in Humidity: While beautiful, lip gloss can feel sticky and easily smudge in Mauritius's humid climate. This tint gives you bold color that stays exactly where you put it, without any tackiness.

• Works Well With: A thin layer of a non-greasy lip balm applied 5-10 minutes before the tint can provide extra hydration. Just be sure to blot it off completely before application. A clear gloss can be applied on top *after* the tint has fully dried to transform the look from matte to glossy.
• Use Carefully With: Applying over a thick, waxy, or oily lip balm will prevent the tint from setting properly and will compromise its transfer-proof quality.
• Pro-Tip for Feathering: While this formula is designed to stay put, if you have very fine lines around your lips, using a clear or matching lip liner can create an extra barrier and ensure perfectly crisp edges all day.

• Best For: Normal to slightly dry lips that are smooth and well-maintained.
• Use With Caution On: Very chapped or flaky lips. Like most matte products, this tint can cling to dry patches and accentuate texture. For best results, gently exfoliate and moisturize your lips before use.

• Color transfer onto masks, cups, collars, or a loved one's cheek.
• Lip color that fades, smudges, or melts away in heat and humidity.
• The heavy, tight, and drying sensation of traditional matte liquid lipsticks.
• Achieving a modern, soft-focus matte or blurred gradient lip look.

Key Ingredients Explained:

• Isododecane & Film-Forming Polymers: These ingredients are the secret to the tint's longevity. They create a flexible, breathable film on the lips that sets the color in place and prevents it from smudging or transferring. (Ingredient rationale)
• Dimethicone Crosspolymers: These are silicone-based powders that give the tint its soft, velvety texture and blurred, matte finish. They help fill in fine lip lines for a smoother appearance. (Ingredient rationale)

Full INCI List:

Water, Isododecane, Dimethicone, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Butylene Glycol, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Tricalcium Phosphate, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Sorbitan Isostearate, Lauryl Polyglyceryl-3 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Diisostearyl Malate, Diglycerin, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Magnesium Sulfate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Propylene Carbonate, Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, Octadecene, Acrylates/Polytrimethylsiloxymethacrylate Copolymer, Iron Oxides (CI 77491), Polyglyceryl-3 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Fragrance, Sorbitan Olivate, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Iron Oxides (CI 77499), Yellow 6 (CI 15985), Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Red 7 Lake (CI 15850), Ethylhexylglycerin, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Aluminum Hydroxide, Tocopherol.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance.
• Scent Profile: A very light, sweet, and subtly fruity scent that is noticeable upon application but fades quickly. Intensity: 2/5.
• EU Allergens: None are declared by the brand in the standard INCI list. However, cosmetic fragrances are complex mixtures that may contain potential allergens. For highly sensitive individuals, a patch test is always recommended.

• For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes.
• Discontinue use and consult a specialist if you experience any signs of irritation, such as redness, swelling, or itching.
• Do not apply to broken or wounded skin.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount of the tint to a discreet area of skin, such as your inner arm or behind your ear. Wait 24 hours to ensure no allergic reaction occurs.

• Texture: A very thin, watery liquid that glides effortlessly onto the lips without feeling thick or goopy.
• Finish: Sets to a completely transfer-proof, soft-focus matte finish. It is a "hydro-matte" texture, meaning it does not feel tight or drying like many traditional liquid lipsticks.
• Shade Description: #12 Salmon Brick is a warm-toned, muted coral-brown. It's a highly wearable shade that brightens the complexion without being overly bold, making it suitable for a wide range of warm and neutral skin tones from fair to medium-deep.

• If the color looks patchy or uneven: This is usually caused by applying to damp or overly balmy lips, or applying too thick a layer. Ensure lips are dry and apply one thin coat for the most even finish.
• If the tint feels slightly drying: Prep is key. Apply a hydrating lip balm 5-10 minutes before the tint, then blot away all excess with a tissue before application.
• If the color settles into lip lines: You may be applying too much product. Use a single, light layer. You can also gently blot your lips with a tissue right after application to lift away excess product from the lines before it fully sets.

The ETUDE Fixing Tint is an outstanding choice for the Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summer: Its primary benefit is its resistance to heat, sweat, and humidity. The formula sets and stays put, preventing the smudging, feathering, and transferring that is common with creamier lipsticks or glosses.
• Drier Winter & Air-Conditioning: The hydro-matte formula is more comfortable than ultra-drying liquid lipsticks, but in air-conditioned offices or during the slightly drier winter months, you may benefit from prepping your lips with a light balm to ensure maximum comfort all day.

• Transfer-Proof Performance: The long-lasting, smudge-proof nature of this tint is achieved through a formulation rich in film-forming agents (like Isododecane and various polymers). These ingredients evaporate quickly, leaving behind a flexible, pigmented film that adheres securely to the lips. (Ingredient rationale)
• Mask-Proof Claim: ETUDE has conducted extensive internal "mask-proof" testing, where the tint is applied and tested for transfer against a standard face mask. These tests form the basis of their transfer-proof marketing claims. (Brand test)

• On Application: "The gradient effect is so easy to achieve with this. I just dab a bit on the inside of my lips and blend with my finger. Lasts through my morning coffee without leaving a mark on the cup." - Aggregated sentiment from Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024).

At Adilsons, we are committed to providing our customers in Mauritius with 100% authentic, high-quality K-beauty products. We carefully curate our selection based on efficacy, safety, and suitability for our local climate. Our promise is to offer transparent, evidence-based information to help you make mindful and informed decisions for your skin.

How is this different from a regular liquid lipstick?

The Fixing Tint is much lighter and more watery in texture than a typical creamy liquid lipstick. It dries down to a thin film that feels weightless, whereas many liquid lipsticks can feel thick or heavy. The "hydro-matte" finish is also generally more comfortable and less prone to cracking.

Is it really mask-proof?

Yes, once it has fully set (after about 60 seconds), it is remarkably resistant to transferring onto face masks, making it an excellent choice for daily wear.

Is the shade #12 Salmon Brick suitable for my skin tone?

Salmon Brick is a warm-toned coral-brown that is very flattering on individuals with warm or neutral undertones, from fair to medium and tan skin tones. On deeper skin tones, it can appear as a beautiful, soft coral-nude.

How do I remove it effectively?

Due to its long-lasting formula, water or a simple face wash may not be enough. We recommend using an oil-based cleanser, a cleansing balm, or a dedicated lip and eye makeup remover on a cotton pad to gently dissolve the tint without any harsh rubbing.

• Best For: Anyone looking for a reliable, long-wearing matte lip color that feels comfortable and stays put through heat, humidity, and mask-wearing.
• Key Benefits: Genuinely transfer-proof and smudge-proof. Lightweight "hydro-matte" formula doesn't feel heavy or overly dry. The Salmon Brick shade is a versatile and flattering everyday color.
• Keep in Mind: For the smoothest application, lips must be exfoliated and free of any oily residue. May feel slightly drying on very chapped lips if not prepped with a balm.
