Finding a lip color that won't smudge onto your mask or fade in the heat can be a challenge. This tint offers a lightweight, long-lasting solution.

• What it is: A hydro-matte lip tint that sets to a transfer-proof, comfortable finish.
• Who it's for: Anyone looking for a reliable, long-wearing lip color that requires minimal touch-ups throughout the day. Perfect for busy schedules, mask-wearers, and humid weather.
• What it does: Delivers a vibrant, even coat of color that dries down to a soft matte look without feeling heavy or sticky.
• The shade: #02 Vintage Red is a classic, muted red with a hint of warmth that offers a sophisticated, timeless look suitable for many skin tones.

1. Prep Lips: Start with clean, dry lips. For a smoother finish, gently exfoliate first.
2. Apply Tint: Use the applicator to apply a thin, even layer of the Fixing Tint.
3. Set & Go: Let it set for 60 seconds without smacking your lips. Once dry, the color is fixed and transfer-resistant.

Note: Already own a similar lip product? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption. This tint is a replacement, not an addition.

This tint is versatile and can be applied in two popular ways for different effects.

For a Gradient Lip (Soft, Blurred Look):

• Apply a small amount of tint to the inner center of your lips.
• Quickly use your fingertip or a brush to gently blend and smudge the color outwards before it sets.
• This creates a soft, natural-looking stain.

For a Full Lip (Bold, Defined Look):

• Use the applicator tip to carefully outline your lip line.
• Fill in the rest of your lips with a thin, even layer of the tint.
• Let it set completely for at least 60 seconds to achieve its transfer-proof finish. Avoid rubbing your lips together during this time.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your lips are dry: Apply a light layer of lip balm and blot it off before applying the tint. This hydrates without compromising the matte finish too much.
• If the color looks patchy: Your lips may need exfoliation. Use a gentle lip scrub to remove dry flakes for a smooth canvas.
• If you want a glossy finish: Apply a clear gloss over the tint *after* it has completely set. Note that this will make it less transfer-proof.

How to Remove: This is a long-lasting tint. Use an oil-based cleanser or a dual-phase (oil and water) lip and eye makeup remover to dissolve the color effectively without harsh scrubbing.

• Immediately: You'll see vibrant, full-coverage color with a hydro-matte finish. After about 60 seconds, it will feel weightless and become transfer-resistant.
• After 4-6 hours: The color remains strong with minimal fading, even after drinking or light meals. It's highly resistant to smudging on masks. Some fading may occur on the inner lips, especially after oily foods.
• Long-term: With regular use, you'll find this to be a reliable go-to for long days. However, like many matte formulas, it can be drying if lips are not properly cared for. Consistent use of a nightly lip mask is recommended.

• Instead of constantly reapplying traditional lipstick that smudges, use a fixing tint like this one. Its formula is designed to adhere to the lips for hours, giving you a "set it and forget it" color that's perfect for busy days and mask-wearing, reducing the need for constant touch-ups.
• Instead of avoiding lip color because it feels heavy or sticky, choose a lightweight, modern formula. This tint has a watery initial texture that dries down to a comfortable, barely-there feel, offering bold color without the thick, waxy sensation of older matte lipsticks.

• Works Well With:
  • Lip Balm (as prep): Apply a thin layer of lip balm and blot well before application to hydrate lips. This can slightly reduce the matte intensity but increases comfort.
  • Clear Lip Gloss (on top): For a different look, you can layer a gloss over the tint *after* it has fully dried. This will add shine but will make the product transferable.
  • Lip Liner: For an extra-sharp, defined edge, you can use a matching lip liner before applying the tint.
• Use Carefully With:
  • Oily Foods: Eating oily foods can break down the formula and cause the tint to fade from the center of the lips. You may need to touch up after an oily meal.

• Lip color transferring: Especially onto masks, cups, and clothes.
• Fading lip color: Requiring frequent reapplication throughout the day.
• Heavy or sticky lipstick feel: For those who prefer a weightless sensation.

• Dimethicone & Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer: A blend of silicones that creates the soft, matte, blurring effect. They form a flexible film on the lips that feels comfortable and helps prevent the color from settling into fine lines.

• Tocopherol (Vitamin E): An antioxidant that helps to nourish and protect the lips.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance ("Fragrance / Parfum").
• Scent Profile: Users describe the scent as a light, sweet, and slightly fruity fragrance that dissipates shortly after application. Intensity: 1/5.
• EU Declared Allergens: None officially declared by the brand on the product page. However, components of "Parfum" are not fully disclosed. If you have known fragrance allergies, a patch test is highly recommended.

• For external use only. Discontinue use immediately if rash, irritation, or other adverse reactions occur and consult a physician.
• Do not apply to broken, irritated, or eczematous skin.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount of the tint to a discreet area, such as the skin behind your ear or on your inner wrist. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or swelling. If you have particularly sensitive lips, you can test a tiny amount on the outer corner of your lip.

• Texture: A thin, watery liquid that spreads easily.
• Finish: Dries down to a completely matte, non-sticky, and slightly powdery finish.
• Feel: Feels weightless and comfortable on the lips once set. It does not feel hydrating; some may find it drying over time.
• Formulation Type: Water-in-silicone emulsion.
• pH: Not applicable for this type of anhydrous/low-water formula.

• Issue: The tint feels drying on my lips.
  • Solution: Prep is key. Exfoliate your lips gently and apply a thin layer of hydrating lip balm. Blot off any excess balm with a tissue before applying the tint. Rehydrate with a rich lip mask overnight.
• Issue: The color applies unevenly or clings to dry patches.
  • Solution: This is a sign that your lips need exfoliation. Use a gentle lip scrub to create a smooth surface before application. Apply the tint in a thin, even layer; thick layers are more prone to patchiness.
• Issue: The color fades from the center of my lips after eating.
  • Solution: This is common with long-wear lip products, especially after eating oily foods. You can gently blot your lips after your meal and reapply a small amount of tint just to the center, blending the edges for a quick touch-up.

• Humid Summer: An excellent choice. The formula is designed to withstand humidity and sweat, remaining transfer-proof and comfortable without feeling sticky or heavy. It's an ideal "mask-proof" option for daily wear.
• Drier Winter/AC Environments: The matte formula may feel more drying in less humid conditions or in air-conditioned spaces. Ensure lips are well-moisturised before application and use a nourishing lip mask at night to counteract dryness.

• The Pro: A Reddit user on r/AsianBeauty praised its longevity, stating, "I ate a whole greasy burger and it was still there. A little faded on the inside, but the rest was perfect. It feels like nothing on the lips." (thread 2024-02)
• The Fair Caveat: "It's definitely long-lasting, but you NEED to moisturize your lips beforehand. If I don't use lip balm first, it can feel quite drying by the end of the day and emphasizes my lip lines." - Amazon customer review (2024-04)

Is the ETUDE Fixing Tint really mask-proof?

Yes, once it has fully set (after about 60 seconds), it is highly resistant to transferring onto masks. Performance can be affected by factors like excess moisture or contact with oily substances.

How do I stop it from drying out my lips?

The key is preparation and aftercare. Always apply to smooth, exfoliated lips. You can apply a thin layer of lip balm before the tint, but be sure to blot it off completely. Most importantly, use a rich, nourishing lip mask or balm overnight to keep your lips hydrated.

How do I remove the Fixing Tint at the end of the day?

Its long-wearing formula requires an oil-based cleanser or a bi-phase (oil and water) makeup remover. Saturate a cotton pad with the remover, press it onto your lips for 10-20 seconds to dissolve the tint, and then gently wipe away. Avoid scrubbing.

Is the shade #02 Vintage Red suitable for my skin tone?

Vintage Red is a versatile, muted red that is widely considered flattering on a range of skin tones, from fair to deep. Its neutral-to-warm undertone prevents it from looking too harsh or bright.
