At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
This lip tint is for anyone who wants the dewy, plump look of a gloss with the staying power of a stain. It provides a vivid, cool-toned red colour that brightens the complexion. The formula feels lightweight and hydrating, leaving a lasting tint even after the initial shine wears off.
- Finish: High-shine, glossy.
- Longevity: Glossy finish lasts for a few hours; the stain underneath lasts much longer.
- Feel: Lightweight, watery-gel texture that isn't sticky.
- Shade: #04 Chilling Red is a vibrant, cool-toned red that suits a wide range of skin tones.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Prep Lips: Start with smooth, clean lips. Gently exfoliate if needed.
- Apply Tint: Use the applicator to apply a thin, even layer of the Glow Fixing Tint.
- Set & Go: Allow it to set for 60 seconds. The glossy layer will remain on top, while the colour "fixes" underneath.
Note: Already own a similar lip product? We encourage mindful consumptionโfinish that one first before opening a new one.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
This tint is versatile and can be applied in two popular K-beauty styles.
For a Full, Bold Lip:
- Amount: One full swipe from the doe-foot applicator is enough for one lip.
- Method: Outline your lips using the tip of the applicator, then fill in the rest of the lip with the flat side. Apply one even coat and let it set without pressing your lips together for about 60 seconds.
For a Soft, Gradient Lip:
- Amount: Use a small dot of product.
- Method: Apply a small amount of tint only to the inner center of your lips. Use your fingertip or a clean brush to gently blend the colour outwards, creating a soft, blurred effect. This gives a natural, just-bitten look.
Pro-Tips:
- For Dry Lips: Exfoliate gently and apply a light lip balm 5-10 minutes before the tint. Blot the balm off just before application to ensure the tint adheres well.
- To Prevent Feathering: If you have fine lines around your mouth, consider using a clear lip liner to create a barrier before applying the tint.
- Longevity: The high-gloss finish will transfer (e.g., on cups or masks), but the underlying stain is designed to last for hours.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate โ 8+ weeks)
- Immediately: Lips appear vibrant, plump, and highly glossy with a comfortable, hydrated feel.
- After 1-2 Hours: The initial glossy shine may start to fade, especially after eating or drinking. The colour remains as a strong, even stain.
- After 4-6+ Hours: A beautiful tint of colour remains on the lips, fading gracefully without becoming patchy.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
Why use a hydrating tint, not a drying liquid lipstick?
Many long-lasting liquid lipsticks achieve their staying power with high amounts of drying alcohol, which can leave lips feeling chapped and tight, especially in air-conditioned environments. This Glow Fixing Tint provides long-lasting colour through staining pigments while maintaining a comfortable, hydrated feel with its glossy, moisture-rich formula. It prioritises lip health over a purely matte, dry finish.
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 for extra hydration. Be sure to blot it off before application so the tint can stain the lips properly.
- Clear Lip Liner: Use to define the lip shape and prevent any potential colour bleeding.
- Clear Gloss (on top): To refresh the high-shine look throughout the day without adding more colour, you can apply a clear gloss over the stain.
-
Use Carefully:
- Oily/Waxy Lip Balms: Applying this tint over a thick, waxy balm will prevent the colour from setting and staining the lips, reducing its longevity.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Dull or pale lips needing a vibrant pop of colour.
- Lipsticks that transfer easily or fade quickly.
- Desire for a plump, glossy "glass lip" effect without sticky feel.
- Avoiding the dry, tight feeling of traditional long-wear matte lipsticks.

Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
This tint is an excellent choice for Mauritius's hot and humid climate. Its "fixing" formula ensures the colour stays put and resists fading from sweat and humidity. The lightweight, non-sticky texture feels comfortable and breathable, unlike heavy, waxy lipsticks that can feel like they are melting in the heat. It provides a fresh, juicy look perfect for both daytime and evening wear.

At Adilsons, we guarantee 100% authenticity. This product is sourced directly from authorised distributors in South Korea. Every package features a batch code and manufacturing/expiration date. The packaging is a mix of Korean and English, consistent with genuine K-beauty products for the global market. If you have any concerns, please contact us on WhatsApp with a photo of your product, and we will be happy to assist.
Value, Cost-per-Use & Reorder Cadence (how long it lasts)
With a 3.8g volume, this tint is designed for longevity. A single application requires only a small amount of product for full coverage.
- Daily Use (1x/day): The tube should last approximately 3-4 months.
- Occasional Use: The product will last well beyond 6 months, but be mindful of the 12-month Period After Opening (PAO) for optimal freshness and performance.
