ETUDE Fixing Tint #02 Vintage Red (23AD) | Long Lasting High Pigmented Liquid Lipstick | Waterproof Lightweight Matte Finish Lip Stain | Full Cove...

This might be the perfect lip tint/stain. It applies smoothly, isnt drying and is long lasting. The tint has a cream consistency. The color looks intense on the applicator but when its blended on the lips it should resemble the product photos. The color intensity is buildable as well. It blends very smoothly and feels silky on the lips. There was no drying, tight feeling, weird smell or taste. I think this tint is great for that faded/gradient Korean-style lip. Just apply a few dots and tap to blend. Repeat if needed for more color. No need for lip concealers to help show the gradient effect. Throughout the day my lips remain smooth and silky. No peeling. I don't feel like I need to apply lip balm at all. The color is also long-lasting and my lips still have plenty of tint by bedtime. Im even able to use a straw and eat something like noodles without transfer or fading. I'm so happy this with tint that I plan on getting lots of other colors!

As you can see I have very light lips with fair, cool/neutral tone skin. I love this color (dusty beige) on me and I'm really glad that I checked other reviews of both product shades and staying power since I don't feel a lot of tints/stains look very natural on me or end up staying for longer than 1 hour. It felt like I had nothing on my lip and it wasn't tacky, drying, tingle or weird feeling. It stayed on really well and didn't come off on a glass rim when I drank or on my cigarette filter when I smoked. That in itself is really impressive since for me, lipsticks/tinted glosses (cheap or expensive) don't stay on as I drink a lot of water and am a smoker. This particular day, I was on the phone for the 2.5 hours between photos and was suprised how normal and un-lipsticked my lips felt while talking. I don't love that it looked kind of like it dried out on my lips at 2.5 hours but you can always apply a layer of balm or gloss over the top. It looked almost like a smoothing filter when I first put it on and it was very smooth. The applicator is also very good at making precise edges as it's soft but rigid and not bendy. My daily lipstick is GXVE in the shade Stompbox with a Urban Decay liner in similar shades. This was really similar color to me and also looks like what a matte version of the top of the Rosi Elephalt Drops would look like. I posted a picture for reference since it has become a popular product. It will probably be replacing my current lipstick in my purse because it has far better staying power than both the lipstick and liners do for me. I applied one of the tarte marajuca glosses over the top and the products seem to hold well together. After that, I went out for a few hours to run errands and in total it stayed pretty much the same for well over 6 hours without reapplying at all. I initially was hesitant to purchase and had the item in my cart for a week because I didn't want to buy another lip stain that ends up in a drawer. I'm glad that between the price point and reviews that I decided to just buy it because I really love the color and formula. I will probably buy 1 or 2 more in other shades that I like and would also recomend to my sisters/friends. I hope my review helps someone else on that was on the fence about this product!

Coral breeze is a really good shade for spring skin tones in seasonal color analysis. Its a slightly warm pink-coral on me and doesnt have any unflattering undertones that are too cool toned or too red. Etude is doing really well categorizing the shades by seasonal color analysis for online sales. Its usually a coin toss if it shows up unflattering on specific skin tones but this Coral Breeze shade is indeed flattering for my spring skin tone. As for wearability, it goes on smooth like velvet, not sticky at all and lasts through drinking. After eating a meal, the stain does fade a bit but I also did have chapstick on over it as my lips tend to get dry with any lip product in general. Overall, I would say its definitely worth the buy.

This lipstick was exactly what I was looking for as far as color and staying power. However, I have very sensitive skin and lips and this caused me to break out on the outer edges of my lips. This happens to me with nearly every lipstick, so it wasnt a surprise and I cant fault the lipstick itself. Putting that aside, the smoky cherry color is vibrant, but not too bright. I have fair skin and it complemented my skin color well. It is a matte lipstick, so dried without any shine, as expected. After using one coat of lipstick, I added my normal lip balm on top and the color didnt come off too much. The color lasted at least a few hours, but did slightly fade in that time. I found it easy to remove with soap and water. The next day is when I noticed the tiny white heads and redness on the edges of my lips. Again, this is normal for me so its not something specific to this product. This can definitely be layered for a more dramatic/bold color.
