A weightless, hydro-matte lip tint that delivers vivid, long-lasting colour with a comfortable, non-drying finish. Its transfer-proof formula is perfect for Mauritius's humid climate and for wearing under face masks, ensuring your lip colour stays put without smudging or fading.
At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
If you're looking for a lip colour that won't budge, transfer onto your mask, or feel heavy in the heat, this is an excellent choice. The #14 Rose Lilac shade is a beautiful muted, cool-toned rosy mauve, ideal for creating a soft, sophisticated look.
- Texture: A light, watery fluid that dries down quickly.
- Finish: Soft, hydro-matte with a blurred effect.
- Wear-time: Excellent longevity; brand claims it sets in 60 seconds and is mask-proof.
- Best for: All skin types, especially those who prefer long-wearing, low-maintenance matte lip makeup. Perfect for cool-toned complexions.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
For the best, most comfortable wear, a little prep goes a long way.
- Prep Lips: Start with smooth, hydrated lips. Use a gentle lip scrub if needed, and apply a thin layer of lip balm. Blot away any excess balm before applying the tint.
- Apply Tint: Swipe a thin, even layer of the Fixing Tint onto your lips using the doe-foot applicator.
- Set & Go: Wait about 60 seconds for the tint to dry down and set completely. This is key to making it transfer-proof.
Note: Already own a similar lip colour? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption (substitute, don’t stack).
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
This tint is versatile and can be worn in two popular K-beauty styles.
-
For a Gradient Lip (Blurred Effect):
- Amount: A few dots on the inner part of your lips.
- Method: Apply a small amount to the center of your lips and use your fingertip or a brush to quickly blend it outwards, creating a soft, diffused look. Work fast as the tint sets quickly.
-
For a Full Lip (Bold Colour):
- Amount: One full swipe from the applicator.
- Method: Use the doe-foot applicator to line the edges of your lips, then fill in the rest. Apply one thin, even layer for full coverage.
If-This / Then-That:
- If you have dry or flaky lips: The matte finish can accentuate texture. Gently exfoliate your lips and apply a lip balm 5-10 minutes before the tint. Blot well before application.
- If you want a glossy finish: Let the tint set completely, then apply a clear gloss on top. Note that this may compromise its transfer-proof quality.
- If the colour is too bold: Apply a few dots and immediately blot with a tissue for a softer, stained look.
Safety: For external use only. Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation occurs.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediately: You'll see vivid, high-pigment colour upon application. After about 60 seconds, the tint will set to a transfer-resistant matte finish.
- Throughout the day: The colour remains vibrant for several hours. It may fade gracefully after eating oily foods but typically does not require frequent touch-ups.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
- Works With: Lip balms (for prep, blot before), lip liners (for a sharper look), and clear or complementary lip glosses (applied after the tint has fully set).
- Use Carefully With: Oily or very emollient lip products applied right before the tint can prevent it from setting properly and reduce its longevity.
- Avoid On: Severely chapped or broken lip skin, as the formula may sting and will not apply evenly.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
This product is suitable for all skin types as a cosmetic. However, user experience may vary based on lip condition.
- Normal to Oily Lips: Excellent. The matte formula adheres well and provides long-lasting wear.
- Dry or Dehydrated Lips: Use with caution. Proper preparation is key. Ensure lips are well-exfoliated and moisturized before application to prevent the tint from clinging to dry patches or feeling tight.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
This lip tint is a cosmetic solution for:
- Lip colour that transfers to masks, cups, or clothes.
- Lipstick that fades quickly and requires constant reapplication.
- The need for a lightweight lip colour that feels comfortable in warm, humid weather.

Complete Ingredient Transparency (key actives + full INCI)
Key Components Explained:
- Isododecane & Dimethicone: These ingredients are key to the tint's performance. Isododecane is a lightweight, volatile solvent that helps the product spread easily and then evaporates, leaving the pigment behind for a long-lasting, transfer-resistant finish. Dimethicone provides a smooth, silky feel and creates a matte, blurring effect on the lips.
- Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer: A silicone-based polymer that creates the "hydro-matte" texture, giving a velvety finish without feeling completely dry.
- Tocopherol (Vitamin E): An antioxidant that provides some moisturizing benefits and helps protect the delicate lip skin.
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, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Tocopherol, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, [+/- May Contain: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77499), Red 7 Lake (CI 15850), Blue 1 Lake (CI 42090), Red 33 Lake (CI 17200), Yellow 6 lake (CI 15985)].

Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
Who should use with caution: Individuals with extremely dry, cracked, or eczema-prone lips may find the matte formula drying. It is essential to restore lip barrier health before using this product for best results.
Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount of the tint to the inside of your wrist or behind your ear. Wait 24 hours to ensure no signs of irritation or allergic reaction occur. If you experience any redness, itching, or swelling, do not use the product on your lips.
If Irritation Occurs: Discontinue use immediately. Soothe the area with a plain, fragrance-free lip balm. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
- Texture & Finish: Starts as a thin, watery liquid that spreads easily. It dries down within a minute to a completely matte, slightly powdery, and velvety finish. It is designed to feel weightless on the lips.
- Scent: Faintly sweet and fruity, not overpowering and fades quickly.
- Comedogenicity/FA-Safety: These ratings are not applicable for a lip tint product.
Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)
-
Issue: The tint looks patchy or emphasizes lip lines.
Fix: Your lips are likely dehydrated. Gently exfoliate with a lip scrub, then apply a hydrating lip balm and let it sink in for 5-10 minutes. Blot off any excess with a tissue before applying the tint in a thin, even layer.
-
Issue: The colour transfers or smudges.
Fix: You may have applied too thick a layer or not allowed enough time for it to set. Apply a single, thin coat and wait a full 60-90 seconds without pressing your lips together. Once it's completely dry, it should be transfer-resistant.
-
Issue: The colour looks different on me than in the photos.
Fix: Lip tint shades appear differently based on your natural lip pigmentation and skin undertone. #14 Rose Lilac is a cool-toned mauve and will look most true-to-pan on those with cool or neutral undertones. On warmer skin or more pigmented lips, it may pull more purple or deeper in colour.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
The ETUDE Fixing Tint is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.
- Humidity & Heat: Its lightweight, non-sticky formula feels comfortable and breathable, unlike heavy or glossy lipsticks that can feel messy in the heat.
- Longevity: The transfer-proof and smudge-resistant properties ensure your lip colour stays flawless through sweat and humidity without needing constant checks or reapplication.
- Mask-Wearing: As a certified mask-proof formula (brand claim), it's a practical choice that prevents smudging your mask.

Is This the Best Choice for You? (Mindful Alternatives) (other options to consider)
The ETUDE Fixing Tint is an excellent choice if your primary goal is a long-lasting, transfer-proof matte lip. However, if you have different preferences, consider these alternatives from our catalog:
- For a Sheer, Watery Stain: ETUDE DEAR DARLING WATER TINT 9G — Choose this if you prefer a more natural, 'just-bitten' look that feels like nothing on the lips. It provides a sheerer stain compared to the Fixing Tint's full pigment.
- For a Glossy, Juicy Finish: rom&nd ROMAND JUICY LASTING TINT — Choose this if you love a high-shine, plump-looking lip. It offers the longevity of a tint with the finish of a gloss.
- For a Creamy, Velvety Feel: ETUDE FIXING TINT #06 SOFT WALNUT — If Rose Lilac's cool tone isn't for you, this warmer, softer nude-brown from the same line offers the same great formula in a different shade family.
Mindful-use: If you already have a comparable product at home, finish it first to avoid waste and get a fair read on results.
Packaging, Sustainability & Practical Details (bottle, storage, and travel)
- Format & Applicator: Comes in a 4g plastic tube with a screw-on cap that seals securely. The applicator is a classic doe-foot with a slight angle, allowing for precise application along the lip line.
- Recycling (Mauritius): The outer paper box is recyclable. The plastic tube (classified as 'Other' or #7) may not be recyclable in all local facilities; please check with your local council.
- Storage: Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the formula's integrity and prevent pigment separation.
Genuine Community Experiences (unbiased, real-user feedback)
Aggregated sentiment from independent reviewers on platforms like Hwahae, YesStyle, and Reddit's r/AsianBeauty:
"This is absolutely incredible! It's a must-have for cool-toned skin... The actual shade is a bit deeper and darker than in the photos, with a more pronounced purple hue." - Hwahae review (2025-09)
"The lasting power is insane. I wore it under a mask for 6 hours and it barely smudged. It can be a little drying if my lips are already chapped, but with lip balm underneath it's perfect." - Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (thread 2025-03)
Fair Caveat: The most common point of feedback is that while the tint is comfortable for a matte product, it requires lip preparation. Users with very dry lips note that it will cling to flakes if lips are not exfoliated and moisturized beforehand.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
- Is the 'Rose Lilac' shade suitable for warm-toned skin?
- #14 Rose Lilac is a distinctively cool-toned rosy mauve. While makeup is personal, it will look most harmonious on cool or neutral-toned skin. On warm-toned skin, it may appear more purple. We recommend swatching if you are unsure.
- How do I remove it at the end of the day?
- Because it is a long-lasting stain, a simple water-based cleanser may not be enough. We recommend using an oil-based cleanser or a dedicated bi-phase lip and eye makeup remover to dissolve the tint without scrubbing your lips.
- Can I make the finish glossy?
- Yes. Allow the Fixing Tint to set completely (at least 60 seconds), then you can apply a clear or shimmering gloss over the top. This will alter the finish and may reduce its transfer-proof quality, but it's a great way to get two looks from one product.
