ETUDE DEAR DARLING MARKER TINT #7 GRAPE SODA 3.5G

Values You Can Trust: Cruelty-Free* / 100% Authentic Guarantee

*Brand-stated; not certified by an independent body.

A vibrant, marker-style lip tint that delivers a playful pop of cool-toned grape colour. Its watery formula stains lips for a long-lasting, just-bitten look that’s perfect for Mauritius' heat and humidity, offering a transfer-resistant finish that stays put through sips and snacks.

Finding a lip colour that lasts through a humid day without smudging can be a challenge. This marker tint provides a solution with its precise applicator and staining formula.

• Applicator: Fine felt-tip marker allows for easy outlining and filling, making it simple to achieve a clean, defined lip line or a soft gradient effect.
• Finish & Wear: Dries down to a natural, matte stain that feels weightless on the lips. Its formula is designed to be transfer-resistant and long-wearing.
• Shade: #7 GRAPE SODA is a fun, cool-toned purple-pink, reminiscent of grape soda. The intensity can be built from a sheer wash to a bold statement.
• Best For: Individuals looking for a low-maintenance, long-lasting lip colour that won't smudge or fade easily in tropical weather. Excellent for creating the popular K-beauty gradient lip.

1. Prep Lips: Start with clean, dry, and lightly moisturised lips. For the smoothest application, gently exfoliate first.
2. Apply [THIS PRODUCT]: Use the marker tip to outline your lips, then fill them in. Work quickly as the formula stains fast. For a softer look, apply only to the inner lips and blend outwards with your fingertip.
3. Build or Blot: For more intense colour, let the first layer dry for 30 seconds and apply a second. For a more natural stain, gently blot with a tissue after application.

Note: Already own a similar product? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption. This is a substitute for your regular lipstick or tint, not an additional layer.

This tint can be worn whenever you want a pop of long-lasting colour.

• Amount: One layer provides a sheer to medium stain. A second layer builds up to a bold, opaque colour.
• Method for Full Lip: Use the precision tip to carefully trace your lip line. Then, use the flat side of the marker to fill in the rest of your lips.
• Method for Gradient Lip (Ombré): Apply the tint only to the center of your upper and lower lips. Immediately press your lips together and use a clean fingertip or a cotton swab to blend and smudge the colour outwards, leaving the edges of your lips faded.
• Frequency: As desired for makeup. It is long-lasting, so reapplication may only be needed after oily meals.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your lips are dry: Apply a thin layer of lip balm 5-10 minutes before, then blot it off completely before applying the tint. This prevents the stain from clinging to dry patches.
• If you want a glossy finish: Let the tint dry completely, then top with a clear lip gloss.
• If the colour is too bold: Apply a small amount and immediately blend it all over the lips with your finger for a sheer, popsicle-stain effect.

Safety: For external use on lips only. Avoid applying to chapped, broken, or irritated skin. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation occurs.

• Immediately: Upon application, you'll see a vibrant, watery layer of colour that quickly dries down. The marker provides a cooling sensation.
• After 1-2 minutes: The tint sets to a transfer-resistant, matte finish that feels like bare lips.
• After 2-4 hours: The colour remains vibrant and even, resisting fading from drinking or light snacking.
• After 8+ hours: The initial vibrancy may fade into a softer, but still present, stain that lasts for the majority of the day. Removal will require an oil-based cleanser or dedicated lip makeup remover.

• Why use a formulated lip tint, not DIY berry stains? While using real berries (like beetroot or raspberries) to stain lips is a popular natural hack, it can be messy, inconsistent, and fade very quickly. Formulated tints like this one use cosmetic-grade pigments that are designed to be long-lasting, apply evenly, and are tested for safety on the skin.

• Works Well With:
  • Lip Balm: Use as a prep step (blot before applying tint) to prevent dryness.
  • Clear or Sheer Lip Gloss: Apply on top after the tint has fully dried to add shine and dimension.
  • Lip Liner (Clear or Matching): Use before the tint to create a sharp border and prevent any potential feathering.
• Use With Caution:
  • Creamy or Oily Lipsticks: Layering this watery tint under a heavy, oily lipstick may cause the lipstick to break down or apply unevenly.
  • Oily Foods: Eating oily or greasy foods can break down the stain, causing it to fade faster from the center of the lips.

• Lip colour that transfers onto cups, masks, or clothes.
• Difficulty achieving a precise, clean lip line with traditional lipsticks.
• Makeup that fades or smudges in high heat and humidity.
• Achieving the popular K-beauty gradient or "popsicle" lip look.

The formula is a simple, water-based solution designed to deliver pigments that stain the top layer of the skin for a lasting effect.

• Film Formers: Ingredients like PEG/PPG-17/6 Copolymer help the colour form a smooth, even layer on the lips as it dries.
• Solvents: Water, Butylene Glycol, and Alcohol act as the liquid base that carries the pigments and allows for quick drying.
• Pigments: A blend of cosmetic dyes (e.g., Red 33, Blue 1) creates the specific 'Grape Soda' shade.

Full INCI List (Representative for the line): Water, Butylene Glycol, Alcohol, Glycerin, PEG/PPG-17/6 Copolymer, Punica Granatum Fruit Extract, Sapindus Trifoliatus Fruit Extract, Pentylene Glycol, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, 1,2-Hexanediol, Salicylic Acid, Stevioside, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance, May Contain [+/-]: Red 33 (CI 17200), Blue 1 (CI 42090), Yellow 5 (CI 19140), Red 27 (CI 45410).

• Fragrance Status: Contains added synthetic fragrance.
• Scent Profile: A sweet, candy-like "Grape Soda" scent. Intensity is noticeable upon application but fades as the product dries (Scent Intensity: 3/5).
• Allergens: The fragrance may contain potential allergens. The provided ingredient list does not declare any of the 26 common EU allergens, but this cannot be fully verified without a complete component breakdown from the brand. Contains Salicylic Acid, which should be avoided by those with an aspirin allergy. A patch test is always advised.

• Texture: Very thin, watery liquid.
• Feel: Applies with a cooling sensation and dries down quickly, leaving a weightless feel with no stickiness or residue.
• Finish: A flat, natural-looking matte stain.
• Scent: Sweet and fruity, like grape candy or soda.
• Alcohol Content: Contains denatured alcohol, which contributes to the fast-drying formula. This may be drying for some individuals.

• Issue: The stain looks patchy or clings to dry spots.
  • Fix: Your lips need exfoliation. Use a gentle lip scrub or a damp washcloth to buff away dry flakes before application. Always apply a thin layer of lip balm and blot it off before using the tint.
• Issue: The colour feathers or bleeds outside my lip line.
  • Fix: Apply a clear wax-based lip liner around the perimeter of your lips before applying the tint. This creates an invisible barrier that holds the colour in place.
• Issue: The tint feels too drying.
  • Fix: While the tint itself is meant to be matte, you can add hydration back. After the stain has completely set, apply a hydrating lip balm, lip oil, or clear gloss on top.

This product is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summers: Unlike creamy lipsticks that can feel heavy, melt, or smudge in high humidity, this watery tint feels weightless and sets down completely. It is highly resistant to sweat and humidity, ensuring your lip colour stays put.
• Drier Winters/AC Environments: The formula can feel drying on its own. During cooler months or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, be sure to prep lips with a balm and consider topping the tint with a gloss or lip oil for added comfort and moisture.
