This lip tint is for anyone seeking a reliable, long-wearing lip colour that won't smudge onto masks, cups, or clothes. The #05 Midnight Mauve is a sophisticated, cool-toned dusty pink that offers a modern, chic look suitable for many skin tones, especially those with cool or neutral undertones.

• Texture: Lightweight, watery-velvet that dries down.
• Finish: Soft, hydro-matte finish that doesn't feel heavy.
• Longevity: Excellent staying power through daily activities; may fade after oily meals.
• Who It's For: Ideal for busy individuals, mask-wearers, or anyone who dislikes reapplying lipstick throughout the day.

1. Prep Lips: Ensure lips are smooth and exfoliated. Apply a thin layer of lip balm and blot excess with a tissue.
2. Apply Tint: Using the doe-foot applicator, apply a thin, even layer of the Fixing Tint to your lips.
3. Set & Go: Allow it to set for 60 seconds to become fully transfer-proof. For a softer look, gently blot the edges with your fingertip before it dries.

Mindful Tip: Already own a similar lip colour? Finish that first to reduce waste before opening a new one.

For a Full, Bold Lip:

• Apply a single, even layer across the entire lip using the applicator.
• Wait 60 seconds for the formula to dry and set to its matte, transfer-proof finish.
• For more intensity, apply a second thin layer after the first has completely dried.

For a Soft, Gradient Lip (Blurred Effect):

• Apply a small amount of tint to the inner center of your lips.
• Quickly use your fingertip or a small brush to blend the colour outwards, creating a soft, faded effect at the lip line.
• Work fast as the tint sets quickly.

Pro-Tips for Best Wear:

• If you have dry lips: Always exfoliate gently and apply a nourishing lip balm 5-10 minutes before the tint. Blot away any excess balm right before application to ensure the tint adheres properly.
• To prevent feathering: If you have fine lines around your mouth, consider using a clear lip liner to create a barrier.
• For removal: This is a long-wearing formula. Use an oil-based cleanser or a bi-phase lip and eye makeup remover to dissolve it completely without harsh rubbing.

• Immediately: A smooth application of lightweight, pigmented liquid colour with a comfortable feel.
• After 60-90 seconds: The tint sets to a transfer-proof, smudge-proof matte finish. You can test this by gently pressing a tissue to your lips.
• Throughout the day (4-6+ hours): Colour remains vibrant and intact through talking and drinking. It is highly mask-resistant. Fading may occur on the inner part of the lips, especially after eating oily or greasy foods.
• End of day: Lips may feel slightly dry, which is common for long-wearing matte formulas. Ensure you moisturise your lips well at night.

• Works Well With:
  • Lip Balm (as prep): Apply a thin layer and blot off excess before applying the tint for a smoother, more comfortable wear.
  • Lip Gloss (on top): Once the tint is fully dry, you can apply a clear or shimmery gloss on top to change the finish from matte to glossy. Note: This may compromise its transfer-proof quality.
  • Lip Liner: A matching or clear lip liner can be used beforehand to define the lip shape and prevent any potential feathering.
• Use Carefully With:
  • Oily Foods: Oils will break down the long-wearing formula, causing it to fade from the center of the lips.
• Avoid On:
  • Chapped or broken lips: Matte formulas can accentuate flakiness and may sting irritated skin. Always apply to healthy, prepped lips.

• Lip colour that smudges or transfers onto masks, cups, and clothing.
• Lipstick that fades or disappears quickly throughout the day.
• Desire for a low-maintenance, long-wearing lip colour with a modern matte finish.
• Finding a comfortable, lightweight alternative to heavy or sticky liquid lipsticks.

• Medical Disclaimer: This product is a cosmetic for external use only. It is not a medical treatment and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Key Components for Performance:

• Fragrance: Contains added fragrance (Parfum/Fragrance).
• Scent Profile: A light, sweet, fruity-floral scent. Intensity is low (approx. 2/5) and generally fades after application.
• EU Allergens: The full INCI list may contain potential allergens from the fragrance components, although none are explicitly declared at high concentrations. A patch test is always advised for highly sensitive individuals.

• Who Should Use: Suitable for all skin types, but those with very dry or chapped lips should take extra care to prep their lips before use.
• Who Should Use with Caution: Individuals with a history of sensitivity to long-wearing lip products or added fragrances should perform a patch test.
• 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 or irritation.
• If Irritation Occurs: Discontinue use immediately. If lips become very dry, chapped, or irritated, stop using the product and apply a soothing, fragrance-free lip balm until they recover.
• General Safety: For external use only. Do not apply to broken or damaged skin. Keep out of reach of children.

• Texture: A thin, watery-gel texture that glides on smoothly and feels weightless.
• Finish: Dries down to a soft, comfortable, "hydro-matte" finish—not a flat, drying matte.
• Scent: Light, sweet, and fruity. Not overpowering.
• pH: Not applicable for this type of anhydrous/emulsion formula.
• Comedogenicity/FA-Safety: Not applicable for a lip product.

• Problem: The color looks patchy or clings to dry spots.
  • Solution: Your lips are likely dehydrated. Gently exfoliate with a lip scrub and apply a hydrating lip mask or balm. Blot well before applying the tint for a smooth canvas.
• Problem: My lips feel dry after a few hours of wear.
  • Solution: This is common with matte formulas. Apply a thin layer of non-greasy lip balm over the top to add moisture, or ensure you are using a rich lip mask overnight to keep lips nourished.
• Problem: The color fades unevenly after eating.
  • Solution: Oily foods will break down the formula. After your meal, gently wipe your lips and reapply a thin layer to the faded areas, blending the edges for a seamless touch-up.

• "I adore this shade! Midnight Mauve is the perfect cool-toned MLBB (My Lips But Better) for my fair skin. It's truly mask-proof and lasts all day. It can feel a little drying by hour 6, but nothing a little balm can't fix." — Paraphrased from a YesStyle review (2025-02).
• "The Etude Fixing Tints are a holy grail for a reason. They don't budge! This mauve color is beautiful and doesn't settle into my lip lines as much as other matte liquids. Pro tip: you have to exfoliate your lips first or it will cling to dry patches." — Paraphrased from Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024-12).
• "A great, affordable tint. The colour is a bit more purple-toned than I expected on my warmer skin, but still wearable. The longevity is fantastic, but it definitely requires an oil cleanser to get it off completely at the end of the day." — Paraphrased from an Amazon customer review (2025-01).

At Adilsons, we are committed to providing you with only 100% authentic, high-quality products sourced directly from South Korea. Our curation process is guided by principles of efficacy, safety, and transparency, ensuring you receive products that are both effective and trustworthy. We believe in mindful consumption and are here to help you make informed choices for your skin's health and well-being.

1. How can I make this tint feel less drying on my lips?

The key is preparation and maintenance. Use a nourishing lip mask, like the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, overnight. Before application, apply a thin layer of balm and blot it off. You can also top the tint with a clear gloss or balm during the day if dryness occurs.

2. Is the 'Midnight Mauve' shade suitable for warm skin tones?

Midnight Mauve is a cool-toned shade. On warm or olive skin tones, it may appear more purple or greyish. It is most flattering on cool or neutral undertones. For a warmer option, consider shade #11 Rose Blending.

3. How do I get a clean, sharp application?

The doe-foot applicator is designed for precision. For an even sharper line, you can use a lip brush to outline your lips with the tint first, then fill them in. Alternatively, use a clear lip liner before application.

4. How do I remove it completely?

Because it is a long-wearing, film-forming tint, water or a simple cleanser won't be enough. You must use an oil-based cleanser, cleansing balm, or a dual-phase (oil and water) makeup remover to break down the formula and wipe it away cleanly.

The ETUDE Fixing Tint in #05 Midnight Mauve is a top-tier choice for anyone needing a dependable, long-lasting matte lip colour that can survive the demands of a busy day, especially in a humid climate.
