Lips Tints That Make You The Crowd Stopper – 2022 Best Lip Tints and Stains

Korean fashion is the new talk in town, starting from their k-pop artists, outfits, skin care and makeup, everything is on trend! There is this new k-beauty lip product that is starting to make way to its fame around the world. 

Lip tints, sometimes called “lip stains” are becoming popular in Asian countries because they are easy to use, budget-friendly, and make your lips look good in just a few minutes.

What is a lip tint?

Lip tint is a liquid or gel that you can put on your lips to color and shine them. They also come in different colors, so you can find something that fits your style. Some people also use a lip brush to carefully and evenly put on lip tints. This will make sure that your lips look beautiful and perfectly polished.

Is lip tint permanent? How long does lip tint last?

While there are beauty aesthetic clinics nowadays that offer semi-permanent lip stain procedures that would last months up to a year, lip tint products that come in a container can last for about 2-3 hours. 

Is lip tint a good use for everyone?

Subtle application of lip tint gives you that rosy, drunk blush and fresh lips

It’s a common misconception that lip stains can’t be used by everyone with dark lips since the pigment isn’t as concentrated as in lipstick. Applying lip tint feels light on the lips, the color remains on even with a mask, it doesn’t smudge easily,  and they’re long-lasting.

Etude Dear Darling Water Tint

What I Like About This!

Etude’s Dear Darling Water Tint formulation makes your lips look bright, cherry red giving off a soft but sexy vibe. Pomegranate and grapefruit extract are added to the ingredient list to add vitamins, give moisture and hydrate your lips. 

What I Don’t Like About This!

If you put too much, the watery formulation will run off to the sides of your lips or on your teeth. Making you look like a vampire fresh from a meal. Kidding aside! Just be sure to add a small amount and blend it smoothly to have that sexy, pleasing look.

COLORGRAM Thunderbolt Tint Lacquer

Water Tint

What I Like About This!

Color of the tint is so vivid that it wouldn’t be a product of concern no matter what color of skin you have. And it really lasts long!

What I Don’t Like About This!

The formulation of this product dries out fast, which is why it is hard to blend a little. Once it dries out, it is a little hard to blend and will leave uneven stain marks on your lips.

All shades are under peachy undertones, and lack a variety of shades to choose from.

How to Put On Lip Tint: 

Step 1:

Find a lip applicator, if you do not have one you can just use your pinky finger. Just be sure your fingers are clean to start with. 

Step 2: 

Apply a small amount of tint at the center of your lower lip. Spread it evenly.

Step 3: 

Be sure to act quick! Some brands of lip tint dry out faster than others, thus, a fast hand is a must. 

Step 4: 

Do the same on the upper lip.
