ETUDE Dear Darling Water Tint, Red Grapefruit Ade, Lip and Cheek Stain, 9g | Korean water lip tint and lip and cheek stain; vivid lightweight color, non-sticky finish and long-lasting wear.

I’ve tried a lot of lip tints, and this one quickly became a favorite. The Cherry Ade shade is exactly as described — a fresh, cherry-toned pink that looks natural but still gives your lips a bright, healthy pop of color. It’s perfect whether you’re running errands or doing a minimal makeup day. Texture & Feel: The formula is lightweight and watery, just like a tinted gloss but without the heavy stickiness. It glides on smoothly and feels very comfortable — almost like wearing a lip balm with color. Even after it wears down, my lips feel hydrated rather than dry or tight. Color & Finish: The tint gives a glowy, juicy finish that isn’t too shiny or greasy. The Cherry Ade shade is universally flattering — it looks more vibrant on bare lips and slightly deeper if layered. Personally, I like building it up for weekend brunch and keeping it just a wash of color for everyday wear. Lasting Power: It lasts surprisingly well for a watery tint. The color stays visible for a few hours, and even after the shine fades, there’s a soft tint left behind. It doesn’t patch or flake, and touch-ups are easy when you want a fresh look. Comfort & Wearability: I didn’t experience any irritation or dryness, even wearing it multiple days in a row. It feels lightweight, breathable, and comfortable — I often forget I’m wearing it, which is a big plus in my book. Packaging: The applicator is simple and easy to use — not oversized or unwieldy — and the tube fits nicely in my purse. It’s one of those products that’s easy to apply on the go. Pros: ✔️ Lightweight, non-sticky texture ✔️ Beautiful cherry-toned shade that works with many skin tones ✔️ Hydrating and comfortable for long wear ✔️ Natural, juicy finish Cons: ➖ Not transfer-proof (but most water tints aren’t) ➖ If you want an opaque, bold lip, this won’t give full coverage — but that’s not its purpose Who This Is For: If you like effortless makeup with a natural, fresh-faced look, this tint delivers. It’s perfect for casual days, office wear, or anytime you want just a hint of color that enhances your lips without feeling heavy. Final Thoughts: This tint hits the sweet spot between comfort and color. Cherry Ade is flattering and wearable, and the formula feels nourishing rather than drying. For anyone who loves a subtle, “your lips but better” tint — this is a must-try and one of my go-to lip products now. ✔️ Would repurchase ✔️ Great for everyday wear ✔️ Perfect tint-for-bare-lips vibe

Excellent lip stain and lasts a long time! I’ve been looking for lip stain for so long, and just found this and it’s exactly what I was looking for! It stains your lips so it looks natural and doesn’t come off easily. It’s lightweight (feels like water) and is a water like texture as well. It also tastes a bit like grape. You only need a tiny bit so the size you get should last a long time.

I have mixed thoughts about this lip stain. I am in the market for a true red lip stain that lasts all day. The cherry ade is a beautiful red stain that borders on pink. As it fades it becomes more pinkish. The photo attached is when I first applied it with 3 layers. It is watery and because of that you have to be very careful to keep it from bleeding into the fine lines. It works best on exfoliated and well moisturized lips, but you have to moisturize them ahead of time. It comes with a sponge tip applicator which makes it easy to fill in but difficult to line the lips with. I have been using it for a couple of weeks and applying liberally. It doesn't look like I have used any so it will last a long time. The stain smells like candy, but the scent fades quickly. As far as I can tell it doesn't really taste like anything, but I am not trying to taste it. I think I could get used to the application and make it work, but I need something that lasts all day, and this isn't even close. For that reason I am not likely to purchase it again. It was worth trying though because that price is right.

The only downside is that it's not super long-lasting. It fits my lifestyle, but I can see some being displeased if they don't want to reapply it several times a day. I work in a cubicle and keep a bottle at my desk (strawberry). I apply it when I get up to socialize, but also when I just want to because the cool feeling and light fruit scent is really nice! When applied, it DOES look super pretty. The gradient look isn't hard to do by swiping up and down instead of across your lips, and when it dries the color is bright at first but tones down into a subtle hint of color. Orange is actually my favorite one, and I take that to go out with friends or shopping. It doesn't turn my lips bright orange or anything, but gives my lips some color that looks natural with my skintone (white/sea mix).

I’ve had this tint for about a year now- it is a nice bright red shade, depending on how much you apply. This is a very watery lip tint and removes easily with water (not the best longevity). It is not sticky at all! It applies very easily with the wand in the container. I have packed this with me before and it leaked in my makeup bag, so store this upright :) This is a good option if you need a quick and not long lasting lip tint, but I don’t generally recommend it for practical uses (not easy to travel with… you’d likely have to reapply) If you are searching for a red lip color that does not apply like a traditional “creamy” lip stick, this is perfect! It allows your lips to remain their “natural texture”. Keep in mind that this product is a tint, so it is not meant for super long occasions, a stain would be more ideal for long lasting color.

Loved it while lasted I was dangerously careful, pun intended and dropped. I salvaged what I could and it's A "YES" better stay than any lip gloss however this is a stain and only one I tried but I don't need to look further

I used to use a color like this from Tarte but they've change the tint and it's a weird color now. This is spot on and is so natural that I use to accent my contours. With or without makeup this is a simple wash of natural air brush looking color and I decide how vibrant it's to be. After contouring I dot dot dot where I want to warm up my cheeks then blend with a fluffy blush brush. That simple. I love that it's more color, not more makeup goop when I use it. To give an idea of the color, if you were to squish a pomegranate seed in your finger tips that's the red of this so this bottle will last years but since it's not grease based it won't go bad on you.

I’d give this 5 stars if I could get it to last over a hour! At first I loved it! Loved the colors , loved the stain! I actually still love it but it disappears after 2 hours completely after one hour it has minor remnants. I still love it! My daughter can get hers to last for 4 hours so maybe it’s me🤷🏻‍♀️ but either way I’d still recommend it and I would still buy again! The price is great colors are beautiful just need to play with it a bit to get a good solid few hours I guess!

It burnt the skin of my lips. I just used it 2 times. First when i applied it my hydrated lips became so dried n the next day skin of lower lip burnt n become flaky n black then it took 1 whole month to cure. I couldn't apply any lip shade for whole month till the skin removed n healed. At that time i didn't know that it happened due to this tint. So after healing when i aaplied it again the same thing happened to me again then i realised that it happened due to this tint. It doesn't suit me. So plz be careful when apply. Again my lips become so dry n flaky n i am using lip balm again n again to cure it.😞

A super lightweight lip tint with a gorgeous cherry-red color! It stains well and lasts long but can be a bit drying, so I pair it with a lip balm.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review Absolutely love this ETUDE Water Tint in the Cherry 🍒 shade! The color is beautiful, fresh, and gives a natural cherry-red tint to the lips. It feels super lightweight, doesn't feel sticky, and blends easily. The tint lasts for hours and leaves a pretty stain even after eating or drinking. It's perfect for everyday wear and can also be used on the cheeks for a natural flush. Great quality, lovely shade, and definitely worth the price. Highly recommended! ❤️🍒

Me gusta el velo de color que deja en las mejillas y los labios. Dura todo el día. También lo aplico en los párpados.

Some of my favourite lip tint ever
