ETUDEDear Darling Water Tint Cherry Ade | Bright Vivid Color Lip Tint with Moisturizing Pomegranate & Grapefruit Extract to Hydrate your Lips

I’ve been searching the internet and every beauty store within a 20 mile radius of makeup that lasts as long as it claims to despite me being a sweaty and makeout-loving person. This lip tint is the most pigmented and long-lasting one I’ve ever encountered. I spread it with my fingers, and even after washing my hands with soap and drying them with a towel, my fingertips are still visibly stained.I bought the cherry color and it’s beautiful on darker skin like mine. Because it is so effective, you don’t need to apply more than once or twice. The watery texture is perfect, as well, if you’re worried about it being oily or glossy.They have a customer for life out of me.

It’s a beautiful stain! It goes on super wet I mean to the point you think there’s zero chance of it drying to a stain. And it totally does. I forgot I was wearing it it’s so light. The color is gorgeous!!!

The media could not be loaded. Right off the bat I want to let you know that I've never used a lip tint before therefore this was my first time trying one out and using it. My first impression of this product was good because it arrived a day or two earlier than I had expected (which is always a plus in my book!) The liptint is a beautiful cherry red color that is very vibrant and looked very nice with my skin. I'm not sure if this is how all lip tint works but they weren't lying when they said "Water Tint" because it was very watery when I first applied it. It would run down my lips which is why I had to let it dry for a bit before continuing or applying a little and then mushing my lips together to spread it out. For me this wasn't really a drawback since it did say water tint in the name, and it's a liquid so of course it's gonna get a little runny. The applicator is a sponge brush (look at my pictures for further imagery) and the bottle is clear so you can see the content inside. I've been using it for the past month and so far I haven't run out so I'd say this will last you quite a while before you get it again! You can achieve two looks for this tint which is either putting a bit of tint on your inner lip and blending it outwards (which is what I did in the fifth picture) or applying it on your entire lip (see 7th picture) either way the red is still noticeable and dries the same. It dries very quickly and doesn't leave the lips chapped or dry, however you can still apply lip balm on just in case. With that in mind it was only necessary for me to run a few tests on this product to see if it'd pass. The first thing I did after letting it dry was the Smudge test. If you look at the video I've provided (swipe 12 times) then you can see me rubbing against my lips (so not softly) against the back of my hand and my palm. I actually did this three times in a row before recording the video and each time there was no stain or smudge, the product didn't even fade! It passed the test with flying colors. The second test was pure luck actually. After I received the product and put it on I headed out downtown. So, I applied the lip tint and to make it more cute I applied a clear lip gloss over it. The clear lipgloss didn't smudge the lip tint like I thought it would and both stayed in place, it only left a little stain on my applicator for the clear lipgloss which was great compared to how big the stains are with other products! I took a photo before I left for downtown (second to last picture) and hours later after downtown (last picture). I'd have to note that while in downtown I went to a BBQ restaurant and did not hold back while eating to see if the lip tint held up to the test. And while the clear lip gloss unfortunately did not win, the lip tint still stayed on! Only a bit faded but still smudge free even after constant wiping of my mouth. A couple hours after that and I headed home to take the picture and you can see that while the product did fade to a less intense red it still stayed on. One thing that did prevent me from giving this lip tint full five stars was the break out. This isn't entirely the products fault but I included this for those of you who may have the same problem and is wary about buying this product like I initially was. I have very problematic skin (which you can see in the pictures). I have eczema, dry skin and dry patches, acne, and sensitive skin. A problem area for my acne is (not so surprisingly) my lips, so I was verh cautious when buying this item and read the reviews and didn't see anyone who talked about this. Which is why I included it. In some of the pictures if you notice I have some tiny bumps forming on my upper lip on the outline of it. At the time I didn't notice however. I'd like to note that before I applied this product i had no bumps on my lips at the time. Then in later photos if you look closely (in the last one it shows I think, correct me if I'm wrong) you can see a bump on my bottom lip that wasn't there before. When I noticed after I got home, I took the product off and simply allowed my lips to breathe and the bumps went away in a couple of days. Then to get my lips used to it I applied a little bit once in a while. And since then I haven't had a breakout since, which I'm honestly so happy for because I love this lip tint! Now I can apply how much I want to and not have to worry about a little bump on my lip somewhere! Overall I really recommend this lip tint even if you're wary at first or haven't tried a lip tint before. Trust me, this one is worth the buy and will look flattering on you no matter your skin tone! Happy buying!

I'm obsessed. This tint is crazy good, works well, lasts a long time. If you have any dry patches, though, it will stain them darker than you would want. Use a scrub and make sure your lips are well moisturized before use.

The color is amazing! I really wish the product was easy to use. It is long lasting, which is what I had hoped for. Why three stars? Because the watery consistency is very hard to control. This bled into the lines around my lips. I am a middle aged woman with really nice skin. Still there are some fine lines that are just part of our "wisdom" - right ladies? Anyhow, I tried to use this for a few weeks - cleaning up immediately with a q-tip to dab the outside edges of my lips after application. It just made the product disappointing and difficult to use, so it sits in my makeup drawer now. I am going to buy a different lip stain today, unfortunately.

Terrible waste of money!! Water is a horrible base for lip stain. Even after trying to squeeze the water out of application tip by applying pressure to the bottle opening, the water runs past the lip line. Barely stains uniformly. Don’t waste your money.

Very pigmented, easy to put on and layer.
