If you love the look of a vibrant red lip but dislike the dry, tight feeling of traditional matte lipsticks, the Etude Dear Darling Oil Tint is for you. This unique formula combines the long-lasting power of a tint with the nourishing feel of a lip oil.

• What it is: A lip tint with a hydrating, oil-based formula.
• Who it's for: Best for those with normal to dry lips, or anyone who wants comfortable colour that doesn't emphasize lip lines.
• What it does: Delivers a high-shine, juicy red colour that leaves behind a natural-looking stain as the gloss wears off.
• Finish: Glossy and plump-looking.

1. Prep Lips: Start with clean, smooth lips. If they are flaky, gently exfoliate.
2. Apply [THIS PRODUCT]: Use the applicator to swipe one layer for a sheer wash of colour, or two layers for a bolder, more opaque look.
3. Finish: Press lips together to distribute the product evenly. You're ready to go!

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

This lip tint is the final touch for your morning makeup or skincare routine.

1. Complete your face skincare and makeup routine (cleanser, moisturiser, SPF, foundation, etc.).
2. Apply the Dear Darling Oil Tint as your last step.
3. Reapply after meals or as needed throughout the day to refresh the glossy finish. The stain will remain for several hours.

Proper removal is key to keeping your lips healthy.

1. Remove Tint: At the end of the day, use an oil-based cleanser or a dedicated lip makeup remover on a cotton pad to gently wipe away the tint and any remaining colour.
2. Cleanse Face: Proceed with your regular evening facial cleansing routine.
3. Hydrate Lips: Finish by applying a nourishing lip balm or sleeping mask before bed to keep lips soft.

Daily Use — AM & As Needed:

• Amount: One full swipe from the applicator is enough for one layer.
• Apply to: Clean, dry lips.
• Method:
  1. For a full, glossy look: Apply directly to the lips using the doe-foot applicator, starting from the center and moving outwards.
  2. For a gradient or "blotted" look: Apply a small amount to the inner part of your lips and use your fingertip to gently blend and blur the colour outwards.
  3. For a soft stain: Apply one layer, wait a minute, then gently blot with a tissue to remove the top glossy layer, leaving the colour behind.
• Frequency: Apply in the morning and reapply as desired, especially after eating or drinking, to maintain the shine.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your lips are very dry: Apply a thin layer of a non-greasy lip balm 5 minutes before applying the tint.
• If you notice feathering: Use a clear or matching lip liner to define the edges of your lips before application.
• If you want extra shine: Layer a clear gloss on top.

• Immediate: Lips will instantly appear vibrant, glossy, and hydrated. The colour is bold and the finish is high-shine.
• After 1-2 hours: The initial high gloss will soften into a dewy sheen. The oil component keeps lips feeling moisturised. The glossy layer will transfer onto cups or masks.
• After 4+ hours: After eating and drinking, most of the glossy oil layer will be gone, but a noticeable red stain will remain on the lips, giving a natural, flushed look that lasts for several more hours.

• Why this, not drying matte lipsticks? Many long-wear matte lipsticks achieve their staying power with formulas that can leave lips feeling dry, tight, and flaky. This oil tint offers a comfortable alternative, providing vibrant colour and a lasting stain while actively hydrating with its oil-based formula. It's colour and care in one step.

• Works Well With:
  • Lip Balms: Applying a light lip balm beforehand can provide an extra layer of moisture for very dry lips. Let it absorb for a few minutes before applying the tint.
  • Lip Liners: Using a lip liner can help create a sharp, defined lip shape and prevent the colour from bleeding or feathering.
  • Clear Lip Gloss: For an ultra-glossy, "glass lip" effect, you can layer a clear gloss on top.
• Use Carefully With:
  • Very Oily/Waxy Lip Balms: A thick, waxy balm underneath may cause the tint to slide around and apply unevenly. Opt for a thin, absorbent balm.
• Avoid On:
  • Chapped or Broken Lips: The pigment can settle into cracks and look uneven. It's best to heal chapped lips with a good balm before applying a tint.

• Excellent for: Dry to normal lips. The oil formula is particularly beneficial for those who find other lip products drying.
• Good for: All skin types looking for a comfortable, glossy lip colour.
• Use with Caution: If you have extremely sensitive lips or are prone to perioral dermatitis, it is always best to patch test any new lip product.

This product is primarily a cosmetic and is formulated to address the following aesthetic concerns:

• Dull or Pale Lips: Provides an instant pop of vibrant, healthy-looking red colour.
• Dry-Feeling Lips: The oil-based formula offers hydration and comfort, preventing the tight feeling associated with many lipsticks.
• Desire for a Long-Lasting Stain: Leaves a natural-looking red tint on the lips that persists after the glossy finish has worn off.
• Desire for a Glossy, Plump Look: The high-shine finish makes lips appear fuller and more voluminous.

• Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) Class: General Cosmetic. This product is not classified as a functional cosmetic for wrinkle improvement, brightening, or UV protection.
• Medical Disclaimer: This product is a cosmetic for external use. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

A complete, official INCI list has not been published by the brand for this specific product version. Based on the product type ("Oil Tint"), the formulation centers around a blend of pigments and hydrating oils.

• Key Components (Ingredient Rationale):
  • Nourishing Oils: The formula is built on a base of oils to provide a smooth, non-sticky glide and moisturising properties, preventing the lips from drying out.
  • Pigments (e.g., Red 7 Lake, CI 15850): High-purity colourants provide the vibrant red shade and create the lasting stain.
  • Film-Forming Polymers: These ingredients help the colour adhere to the lips and create the glossy, durable finish.
• Full INCI List: Not publicly disclosed by the brand.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance/flavor for a pleasant scent and taste, typical of Etude lip products. The scent is often described as sweet and fruity.
• Scent Intensity: 2/5 (Noticeable upon application, but fades quickly).
• EU Declared Allergens: None declared by the brand.

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

This product is formulated for general use, but it's always wise to practice safety.

• Who should use it: Anyone looking for a hydrating and colourful lip product.
• Who should use with caution: Individuals with a known history of allergies to lipsticks, fragrances, or specific colour pigments.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount to the skin on your inner arm or just outside your lip line. Wait 24 hours to check for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation. If a reaction occurs, discontinue use.
• General Safety: For external use only. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. Discontinue use and consult a specialist if you experience a rash, swelling, or itching. Keep out of reach of children.

• Texture: A smooth, fluid oil that glides effortlessly onto the lips. It is not sticky or heavy.
• Finish: A high-shine, glossy finish that makes lips look juicy and plump. As it wears, it leaves behind a soft, even stain.
• Scent: Typically a light, sweet, fruity fragrance that is pleasant upon application.
• pH: Not applicable for an oil-based, anhydrous (water-free) formula.
• Comedogenicity Note: While non-comedogenic for facial skin, it's important to remove thoroughly to prevent any potential clogging of pores around the mouth area if you are prone to breakouts there. Individual responses vary.

• Issue: Colour is feathering or bleeding outside the lip line.
  • Solution: Apply a clear or colour-matched lip liner before the tint to create a barrier. Alternatively, apply a tiny amount of concealer around the border of your lips with a fine brush after applying the tint.
• Issue: The tint looks patchy on my dry lips.
  • Solution: Exfoliate your lips gently with a lip scrub or a soft, damp cloth before application. Apply a thin layer of a hydrating lip balm and let it sink in for a few minutes before applying the tint.
• Issue: The glossy finish doesn't last long enough.
  • Solution: The high-shine finish is designed to wear down naturally. To prolong it, avoid touching your lips. For a long-lasting effect, apply one layer, blot gently with a tissue, then apply a second layer. The stain itself is the long-wear component of this product.

• Humid Summers: Excellent. Unlike heavy, waxy lipsticks that can feel like they're melting in the heat, this oil tint feels lightweight and comfortable. The stain it leaves behind is perfect for a long-lasting look that won't smudge easily in the humidity.
• Drier/AC Environments: Very good. The hydrating oil formula helps prevent lips from drying out in air-conditioned rooms, which often pull moisture from the skin.
• Storage Warning: Do not leave this product in a hot car or in direct, intense sunlight. The heat can affect the integrity and texture of the oil-based formula. Store in a cool, dry place.

The claims for this product are based on established formulation principles and ingredient functions rather than specific clinical trials on the final product.

• Hydration & Comfort (Ingredient Rationale): The oil base of the tint acts as an emollient and occlusive layer, reducing water loss from the lips and providing a moisturised, comfortable feel.
• Colour & Stain (Ingredient Rationale): The formulation uses cosmetic-grade pigments designed to adhere to the top layer of the skin on the lips, providing both immediate colour and a lasting stain effect.

• Size: 4.2g
• Estimated Uses: A single tube contains enough product for approximately 150-200 applications, depending on whether you apply one or two layers.
• Reorder Cadence: With daily use, you can expect this product to last approximately 3 to 5 months. Reorder when the applicator no longer picks up much product.

For the best lip care experience and results, pair this tint with products that prep and remove it properly.

How is an oil tint different from a water tint?

An oil tint has a thicker, more nourishing texture that provides a high-shine, glossy finish and feels moisturising. A water tint is very lightweight, absorbs instantly, and leaves a pure, matte-to-satin stain with no glossy feel.

Will this tint transfer to cups or masks?

Yes, the top glossy oil layer will transfer. However, the colour stain underneath is much more transfer-resistant and will remain on your lips for several hours.

Is the formula sticky like a lip gloss?

No. It is designed to feel like a smooth, lightweight oil, not a thick or sticky gloss.

Can I wear this if I have very sensitive lips?

While the formula is hydrating, it does contain fragrance. We always recommend performing a patch test on your inner arm or near your lip line 24 hours before full application if you have a history of sensitivity.

• Best For: Individuals with dry lips or those who want a comfortable, non-drying alternative to matte lipsticks.
• Key Benefits: Provides vibrant red colour with a hydrating, oil-based formula; delivers a juicy, high-shine finish that makes lips look plump; leaves a lasting stain after the gloss fades.
• Keep in Mind: The glossy finish is not transfer-proof and will need reapplication after meals to maintain its shine. The final stain colour can vary slightly based on your natural lip pigmentation.
