This is for anyone who wants a comfortable matte lip colour that stays put. If you're tired of lipstick smudging on cups, clothes, or masks, this lightweight tint offers a solution. It sets to a transfer-proof, velvety finish that lasts for hours, making it perfect for the heat and humidity in Mauritius.

The shade, #10 Smoky Cherry, is a sophisticated, muted cherry red with cool undertones. It provides a modern, soft-matte look without feeling heavy or sticky.

1. Prep Lips: Start with smooth, hydrated lips. Use a lip scrub if they are flaky. Apply a light layer of lip balm and blot off any excess.
2. Apply Tint: Swipe a thin, even layer of the Fixing Tint onto your lips using the doe-foot applicator. For a softer look, apply to the center and blend outwards with your fingertip.
3. Set & Go: Let the tint dry for about 60 seconds without pressing your lips together. Once set, it becomes transfer-proof and ready for your day.

Mindful Note: If you already own a similar lip product, we encourage you to finish it first before opening a new one. This helps reduce waste and allows you to fully appreciate each product.

For a complete and long-lasting look, follow this simple order:

• Step 1: Base Skincare. Complete your morning skincare routine, finishing with a moisturiser and, most importantly, sunscreen.
• Step 2: Lip Preparation. Before starting your makeup, apply a light, non-greasy lip balm to hydrate your lips.
• Step 3: Face & Eye Makeup. Apply your foundation, concealer, powder, and eye makeup as usual. By doing lips last, you avoid smudging them.
• Step 4: Blot Lips. Gently blot your lips with a tissue to remove any excess balm. This creates the perfect canvas for the matte tint.
• Step 5: Apply ETUDE Fixing Tint. Apply the tint carefully and let it set completely before eating, drinking, or putting on a mask.

Daily Use — As Needed:

• Amount: One single swipe with the applicator provides full, rich coverage. For a more subtle, stained look, use half a swipe and blend with your finger.
• Apply to: Clean, dry lips.
• Method for Full Lips: Use the applicator to line the edges of your lips, then fill in the center. Apply one even coat.
• Method for Gradient Lips: Apply a small amount to the inner part of your lips. Use your fingertip or a small brush to gently blend the color outwards for a soft, blurred effect.
• Wait time: Allow the tint to set for at least 60 seconds. During this time, avoid pressing or rubbing your lips together. This waiting period is crucial for the formula to become transfer-proof.

Makeup Tips (No Feathering or Patchiness):

• If you have dry or flaky lips: The matte finish can accentuate texture. Gently exfoliate your lips with a lip scrub and apply a hydrating balm 5-10 minutes before application. Blot away excess balm right before applying the tint.
• To prevent feathering: If you have fine lines around your mouth, consider using a clear or matching lip liner to create a barrier before applying the tint.
• For touch-ups: The formula is best applied on clean lips. If you need to reapply after an oily meal, it's best to wipe off any remaining product before applying a fresh layer to avoid patchiness.
• Removal: This tint is designed to last. To remove it completely without harsh scrubbing, use a dual-phase (oil and water) makeup remover or a cleansing oil. Soak a cotton pad and hold it on your lips for a few seconds to dissolve the tint before wiping away.

• Immediately: Upon application, the tint has a lightweight, almost watery texture that spreads easily. Within seconds, it begins to dry down to a soft, velvety matte finish with bold, even colour.
• After 60 Seconds: The formula "fixes" onto the lips, becoming smudge-resistant and transfer-proof. You can gently press a tissue to your lips or touch them with a finger to test it—there should be little to no color transfer.
• Throughout the Day (4-6+ hours): The color remains vibrant and intact through talking and drinking. It is highly mask-friendly. The tint may begin to fade gracefully from the center of the lips after eating oily or greasy foods, which is normal for this type of formula. It may start to feel slightly dry after several hours of wear, which can be remedied with a light tap of lip balm on top (this may reduce the transfer-proof effect).

• Works Well With:
  • Lip Balm (as prep): Applying a non-greasy lip balm before the tint helps to hydrate lips and ensures a smoother application. Be sure to blot off any excess to maintain the matte finish.
  • Lip Liner: Using a lip liner can help define your lip shape and prevent the tint from bleeding, especially if you have fine lines around your mouth.
  • Cleansing Oil / Biphasic Remover: The long-lasting formula requires an oil-based product to break it down for easy and gentle removal at the end of the day.
• Use With Caution:
  • Lip Gloss: You can apply a clear gloss over the top for a shiny look, but be aware this will negate the transfer-proof and matte properties of the tint.
  • Oily Foods: Oils in food will break down the formula, causing it to fade or transfer. You may need to reapply after a greasy meal.

• Smooth, Hydrated Lips: This is the ideal canvas. The tint will apply evenly and wear comfortably for hours.
• Dry or Flaky Lips: The matte texture can cling to and emphasize dry patches. It is essential to exfoliate and moisturise lips thoroughly before application for a smooth finish.
• All Skin Tones: The shade #10 Smoky Cherry is a versatile muted, cool-toned red. It can act as a sophisticated "My Lips But Better" (MLBB) shade on deeper skin tones or as a soft, moody cherry on lighter to medium skin tones. The final look will vary depending on your natural lip pigmentation and skin undertone.

• MFDS (Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, South Korea) Class: General Cosmetic. This product is not classified as a Functional Cosmetic for wrinkle improvement, brightening, or UV protection.
• Claims Basis: Claims such as "Fixing Tint" and "transfer-proof" are marketing terms based on the product's formulation. They refer to the presence of film-forming polymers and silicones that create a flexible, smudge-resistant layer on the lips once dry. The performance is based on brand-testing and common ingredient rationale.
• Medical Disclaimer: This is a cosmetic product intended for aesthetic purposes. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. For any concerns about lip health, please consult a healthcare professional.

While the full INCI list is not published by the brand for all regions, the formula's performance relies on a few key types of ingredients common to long-lasting liquid lipsticks:

• Film-Forming Polymers: These ingredients (like acrylates or silicone polymers) create a flexible, breathable film on the lips. As the liquid base evaporates, these polymers link together, locking the pigment in place and creating the transfer-proof finish.
• Volatile Solvents (e.g., Isododecane): These are lightweight liquids that help the tint spread smoothly and evenly. They evaporate quickly after application, leaving behind only the pigment and film-formers, which contributes to the fast-drying, non-sticky feel.
• Silicone Elastomers (e.g., Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer): These give the tint its characteristic velvety, powdery-smooth texture. They fill in fine lines on the lips, creating a soft-focus, blurred effect.
• Pigments: A blend of cosmetic-grade colorants (like Iron Oxides, Red 7 Lake, etc.) provides the rich, opaque colour of Smoky Cherry.

Formulated Without: The brand often highlights that its formulas are free from certain ingredients, though this can vary by region. We cannot independently verify a "formulated without" list without a complete INCI from the manufacturer.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance.
• Scent Profile: Users describe a light, sweet, and subtly fruity scent that is noticeable upon application but fades shortly after. Intensity: 2/5.
• EU Allergens: Without the complete, official INCI list, a full analysis of the 26 declarable EU allergens cannot be performed. The fragrance may contain components like Linalool, Limonene, etc. A patch test is always recommended for those with known fragrance sensitivities.

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

• Who can use it: Suitable for most users who want a long-lasting matte lip colour.
• Who should be cautious: Individuals with extremely dry, chapped, or sensitive lips may find the matte formula drying over time. Proper lip preparation is essential.
• 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.
• If Irritation Occurs: Discontinue use immediately. If lips feel dry or tight, apply a thick, nourishing lip balm or mask. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.
• General Safety: For external use only. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children.

• Texture: Starts as a lightweight, fluid liquid that glides on smoothly and effortlessly. It dries down to a thin, velvety, and almost powdery feel.
• Finish: A completely shine-free, soft matte finish. It does not feel sticky or tacky once set.
• Scent: A faint, sweet, fruity fragrance that is not overpowering and dissipates quickly.
• Colour Profile (#10 Smoky Cherry): A muted, medium-to-deep cherry red with distinct cool, slightly dusty undertones. It is less bright than a classic red, making it more wearable for everyday.
• pH: Not applicable for this type of anhydrous (low-water) formula.

• Issue: The tint applies unevenly or looks patchy.
  • Solution: Your lips may be too dry or have flaky skin. Gently exfoliate with a lip scrub, then apply a thin layer of lip balm. Blot off any excess balm with a tissue right before applying the tint to ensure a smooth canvas.
• Issue: The tint feels drying after a few hours.
  • Solution: This is common with matte formulas. Lightly dab a small amount of a clear, non-greasy lip balm over the center of your lips to add moisture. Note that this may slightly reduce the transfer-proof quality.
• Issue: The color fades from the inner part of my lips after eating.
  • Solution: This is expected, especially after an oily meal. For a quick touch-up, carefully reapply a small amount of tint just to the faded inner area and gently blend the edge with your fingertip.
• Issue: The tint is hard to remove.
  • Solution: The formula is designed to be long-lasting. Use an oil-based cleanser, cleansing balm, or a biphasic eye and lip makeup remover. Let the remover sit on your lips for 20-30 seconds to dissolve the tint before gently wiping it away.

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

• Humidity & Heat: The transfer-proof and smudge-resistant formula is a major advantage in high humidity. Unlike traditional lipsticks or sticky glosses that can melt or feather in the heat, this tint sets and stays in place.
• Comfort: The lightweight, non-sticky matte finish feels more comfortable than heavy or tacky lip products on hot days.
• Mask-Friendly: In environments where mask-wearing is common, this tint is an excellent choice as it minimizes transfer onto the inside of your mask.
• All-Day Wear: For long days out, whether at work or leisure, its longevity means fewer touch-ups are needed, even when you're sweating.

At Adilsons, we guarantee 100% authenticity. All our products, including this ETUDE Fixing Tint, are sourced directly from authorised distributors in South Korea. We do not engage with unofficial third-party resellers.

The claims for this product are based on formulation principles and brand-provided information.

• Transfer-Proof Finish (Ingredient Rationale): The long-wearing, smudge-resistant quality is achieved through a formulation containing film-forming polymers and volatile solvents. As the solvents evaporate, the polymers create a flexible, pigmented film that adheres to the lips, minimizing transfer.
• Velvety Matte Texture (Ingredient Rationale): The soft, blurred finish is typically created by silicone elastomers and powders in the formula, which diffuse light and provide a smooth, non-sticky feel.
• Longevity Claims (Brand Claim): The assertion of long-lasting wear is a claim made by the brand based on their internal testing and the intended performance of the formula. Real-world wear time can vary based on individual factors like lip condition and diet.

• Size: 4g
• Estimated Uses: A single application requires only a thin layer. With regular daily use, one 4g tube can provide approximately 100-150 applications.
• Estimated Duration: If used 5 days a week, the product should last approximately 5-7 months. If used less frequently, it will last until its Period After Opening (PAO) of 12 months.
• Reorder Cadence: Consider reordering when the doe-foot applicator starts to come out with less product or feels dry.

Here is a summary of aggregated sentiment from real users on platforms like Reddit and YesStyle. (Anecdotal/Aggregated sentiment.)

• On Longevity & Transfer-Proofing: An Amazon customer review (2024-05) praised its performance, stating, "This is genuinely mask-proof. I wore it for a full work day with a mask on, and there was barely any transfer. The colour stayed vibrant."
• On the Shade (Smoky Cherry): A Reddit user on r/AsianBeauty (thread 2024-02) described the shade as a "perfect muted red for everyday. It's not too bright, so I can wear it to the office. On my medium skin tone, it’s a beautiful MLBB."
• On Comfort & Feel: A YesStyle reviewer (2024-04) noted the comfortable wear, saying it "feels very lightweight, almost like nothing is on my lips. It’s not as drying as other matte liquid lipsticks I’ve tried."
• A Fair Caveat: A common point of feedback is the need for proper lip prep. Another Reddit user (thread 2024-03) cautioned, "You definitely need to exfoliate and moisturise first. If my lips are even a little bit dry, it can look patchy and feel tight after a few hours."

Is the ETUDE Fixing Tint drying?

Like many matte formulas, it can be drying if your lips are not well-hydrated to begin with. We highly recommend applying a lip balm 5-10 minutes before application and blotting off the excess. This will provide a moisture barrier without compromising the matte finish.

How do I remove it properly?

Because it's designed to be long-lasting, water or a simple cleanser won't be enough. You will need an oil-based makeup remover, such as a cleansing oil, cleansing balm, or a biphasic (oil-and-water) lip and eye remover to dissolve the formula gently and completely.

Is the shade #10 Smoky Cherry a warm-toned or cool-toned red?

Smoky Cherry is a cool-toned red. It has muted, slightly dusty or mauve undertones rather than orange or brick undertones.

Will this shade suit my skin tone?

It is a very versatile shade. On lighter skin, it appears as a soft, moody cherry. On medium to deep skin tones, it can be a beautiful, sophisticated everyday "MLBB" (My Lips But Better) color. The final look will depend on your unique lip pigmentation and skin undertone.

• Best For: Anyone needing a reliable, mask-proof, and comfortable matte lip tint that can withstand a long day in a humid climate.
• Key Benefits: Truly transfer-proof once set, lightweight velvety feel, and a sophisticated, wearable matte colour.
