A weightless, long-lasting lip tint with a hydro-matte finish that wonβt smudge or transfer, even in the Mauritian heat and humidity. Its innovative formula sets in 60 seconds, offering a comfortable, mask-proof veil of colour that feels like nothing on the lips.
At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Finding a lip colour that survives a busy day of talking, eating, and wearing a mask can feel impossible. The ETUDE Fixing Tint is designed for those who need reliable, all-day colour without constant touch-ups.
- Texture: A light, watery fluid that transforms into a soft, velvety matte finish.
- Finish: Hydro-matte; non-drying and comfortable.
- Longevity: Excellent. Stays put for hours with minimal transfer once set.
- Best For: All skin types, especially those looking for a transfer-proof and mask-proof lip colour.
- Shade: #01 Analog Rose is a muted, dusty rose "My Lips But Better" (MLBB) shade, perfect for everyday wear.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Prep Lips: Start with smooth, exfoliated lips. Apply a light layer of lip balm and blot off any excess.
- Apply Fixing Tint: Use the applicator to apply a thin layer to your lips. Work quickly, as the formula sets fast. See "How to Use" for different styles.
- Set & Go: Allow the tint to dry for about 60 seconds without pressing your lips together. Once set, it will be smudge-resistant.
Note: Already own a similar lip product? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption (substitute, donβt stack).
Lip Look Guide (day and evening) (how to style your look)
Daytime Look (Soft Gradient):
- Apply a small dot of tint to the inner center of your lips.
- Quickly use your fingertip or a brush to blend the colour outwards for a soft, diffused effect.
- Finish with a clear lip balm or gloss on top if desired (this may reduce the transfer-proof effect).
Evening Look (Bold Full Lip):
- Carefully outline your lips using the pointed tip of the applicator.
- Fill in the rest of your lips with a thin, even layer of the tint.
- Allow to set completely for a bold, long-lasting matte lip. For extra precision, use a lip liner first.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
Amount: A little goes a long way. Use one dip from the applicator for a full application.
Method 1: Gradient Lip
- Apply a small amount to the inner part of your lips.
- Immediately press your lips together a few times and use your finger to gently smudge the colour outwards towards the lip line.
- Work quickly as the tint sets in about 60 seconds.
Method 2: Full Cover
- Use the applicator to trace your lip line.
- Fill in the entire lip with a thin, even coat.
- Let it dry completely without moving your lips for a flawless, smudge-proof finish.
Watchouts:
- Patchiness: Can occur if applied on dry, flaky lips. Exfoliate and moisturise beforehand.
- Quick Setting: If you're creating a gradient look, you must blend immediately after application.
- Removal: The long-lasting formula is best removed with an oil-based cleanser or a dedicated lip and eye makeup remover.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
Why This, Not Traditional Drying Liquid Lipsticks?
Many long-wear liquid lipsticks achieve their staying power with heavy, drying formulas that can leave lips feeling tight and chapped. The ETUDE Fixing Tint uses a "hydro-matte" technology; it starts as a hydrating fluid and dries down to a comfortable, lightweight matte film. This provides the longevity you want without sacrificing comfort, making it a superior choice for all-day wear.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
-
Works Well With:
- Lip Balm (as prep): Apply a thin layer of lip balm before the tint and blot away any excess. This creates a smooth canvas and prevents the tint from clinging to dry patches.
- Lip Liner: For a very defined full lip, use a matching lip liner to outline your lips before applying the tint.
-
Use Carefully:
- Lip Gloss (on top): Applying a gloss over the tint will add shine but will compromise its transfer-proof and matte finish. The tint will still provide a long-lasting base colour.
Lip Condition Compatibility (best fits) (and who should be cautious)
- Normal to Oily Lips: Excellent. The matte formula adheres well and controls shine.
- Dry Lips: Use with caution. Must be applied over well-exfoliated and moisturised lips to avoid emphasizing texture or flakiness. A pre-application of lip balm is highly recommended.
- Sensitive Lips: The formula contains fragrance. A patch test on a small area is advised before full application.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve) (the main benefits)
- Colour Transfer: Specially designed to be mask-proof and smudge-proof once fully set. Ideal for daily wear without leaving marks on cups, clothes, or masks.
- Fading Lip Colour: Provides a long-lasting stain that wears evenly throughout the day, requiring minimal touch-ups.
- Heavy/Uncomfortable Feel: The lightweight, watery texture feels comfortable and non-drying on the lips compared to traditional matte liquid lipsticks.

Complete Ingredient Transparency (key actives + full INCI) (what's inside)
Key Ingredients Explained:
- Isododecane: A clear, lightweight emollient that gives the tint its long-lasting, transfer-resistant properties. It evaporates quickly, leaving the pigment and polymers behind in a smooth film.
- Dimethicone / Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer: A blend of silicones that provides a silky, smooth application, fills in fine lines on the lips, and contributes to the soft, matte, non-tacky finish.
- Disteardimonium Hectorite: A clay-based ingredient that helps to suspend the pigments evenly within the formula and provides a velvety texture.
Full INCI List:
Water / Aqua / Eau, 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, Propylene Carbonate, Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, Octadecene, Acrylates/Polytrimethylsiloxymethacrylate Copolymer, Polyglyceryl-3 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Fragrance / Parfum, Sorbitan Olivate, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Iron Oxides (CI 77491), Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Red 7 Lake (CI 15850), Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Iron Oxides (CI 77499), Ethylhexylglycerin, Blue 1 Lake (CI 42090), Red 6 (CI 15850), Tocopherol, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate.
Allergens & Fragrance Disclosure (scent profile) (and potential irritants)

- Scent Profile: Users describe a faint, sweet, slightly fruity or candy-like scent that dissipates shortly after application. Scent intensity: 1/5.
- EU Allergens: None of the 26 declarable EU allergens are explicitly listed in the main ingredients. However, the term "Fragrance / Parfum" can mask trace amounts of potential allergens. Patch testing is always advised for sensitive individuals.
Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions) (how to test safely)
Who Should Use: Suitable for individuals looking for long-wearing matte lip colour.
Who Should Use with Caution: Individuals with extremely dry, chapped, or sensitive lips should prep their lips well with balm and conduct a patch test before use.
Patch Test Protocol:
- Apply a small amount of the tint to a discreet area, such as the inner corner of your lip or on your inner arm.
- Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of irritation, such as redness, itching, or burning.
- If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use. Discontinue use immediately if any irritation develops.
Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation occurs. Do not apply to broken or damaged skin.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture and feel) (the user experience)
- Texture: A thin, watery liquid that glides on smoothly. It has a lightweight, almost weightless feel.
- Finish: Dries down to a soft, comfortable "hydro-matte" finish. It is not a completely flat or drying matte, but has a slight velvety appearance.
- Scent: A very faint sweet, cosmetic scent that is not overpowering and fades quickly.
- pH: Not applicable for this type of anhydrous/emulsion formula.
Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)
-
Issue: The tint looks patchy or clings to dry spots.
- Solution: Your lips need exfoliation. Gently scrub your lips with a lip scrub or a damp towel, then apply a hydrating lip balm. Blot off any excess balm before applying the tint for a smooth, even application.
-
Issue: I can't get a smooth gradient blend before it dries.
- Solution: This formula sets very fast. Apply a small amount to the inner lips and immediately use your finger to tap and blend outwards. Do not wait. Work on one lip at a time.
-
Issue: My lips feel dry after a few hours.
- Solution: While the formula is non-drying for most, those with very dry lips may need extra moisture. You can apply a clear lip balm or a touch of lip oil over the top of the set tint. Note that this may affect its transfer-proof qualities.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice) (humidity and sun)
The ETUDE Fixing Tint is exceptionally well-suited for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius. Its key benefit is its ability to "fix" or set on the lips, resisting smudging from sweat, humidity, and mask-wearing. Unlike creamy or glossy lipsticks that can feel heavy or melt in the heat, this tint provides a comfortable, long-lasting pop of colour that stays put all day.
Storage Tip: Avoid leaving the product in a hot car, as extreme heat can alter the formula's consistency and stability.
Authenticity & How to Verify (our sourcing guarantee) (buy with confidence)
At Adilsons, we guarantee 100% authenticity. All our ETUDE products are sourced directly from the official brand or their authorized distributors in South Korea. You can verify your product by checking the batch code and official packaging, which includes a mix of Korean and English text. We invite you to contact us on WhatsApp at +230 5 778 2336 if you have any questions about your product's authenticity.
Evidence & Sources (the science behind it) (brand vs independent data)
- Mask-Proof Claim (Brand Test): The claim that the tint is "mask-proof" is based on internal testing by ETUDE. The brand states the formula sets within 60 seconds to minimize transfer.
- Long-Lasting Wear (Ingredient Rationale): The longevity of the tint is primarily due to its formulation, which includes Isododecane, a volatile hydrocarbon that evaporates to leave a flexible, water-resistant film of pigment on the lips. This is a well-established mechanism for long-wearing cosmetics.
Value, Cost-per-Use & Reorder Cadence (how long it lasts) (budgeting your beauty)
With 4g of product, a single tube of ETUDE Fixing Tint is estimated to last for several months, depending on frequency of use.
- Daily Use (one application): Approximately 3-4 months.
- Occasional Use (2-3 times a week): Approximately 6-8 months.
A little goes a long way, making it an excellent value for a high-performance, daily-wear lip product.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered) (common queries)
Q: Is the ETUDE Fixing Tint completely transfer-proof?
A: It is highly transfer-resistant once it has fully set (about 60 seconds). It will withstand light contact, mask-wearing, and drinking from a glass with minimal to no transfer. However, eating oily foods can break down the formula and may require a touch-up.
Q: How do I remove it at the end of the day?
A: Due to its long-lasting formula, a simple water-based cleanser may not be enough. We recommend using an oil-based cleanser, a bi-phase makeup remover, or our recommended THE FACE SHOP RICE WATER BRIGHT MAKEUP REMOVER to dissolve the tint gently and completely.
Q: Can I wear this if I have very chapped lips?
A: It is not recommended to apply this tint on chapped or broken lips, as the matte finish can accentuate flakiness. We strongly advise exfoliating your lips first and applying a nourishing lip mask, like the LANEIGE LIP SLEEPING MASK, the night before.
