Dear Darling Water Tint – Red Grapefruit Ade | Korean Lip Stain & Lip Tint for Hydrated Pink Lips, Smudge-Proof Long-Lasting Lip & Cheek Makeup | K-Beauty Gift, Stocking Stuffers

Definitely one of my favorite tints. It has a nice cooling feeling when you apply it, and when used as a liquid blush, I personally feel like it’s long lasting. On the lips, maybe not as much, but that probably depends on the person and what they do throughout the day. It’s nice and pigmented, so a little goes a long way, making the product last longer overall. The colors are also really nice. It does stain relatively fast as well. It’s not sticky at all, and since it’s a water tint, you barely feel it on the skin after you apply it + it looks more natural. 5 star product for me :)

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 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.

love this tint 🍒 super lightweight and gives a cute natural cherry stain. lasts pretty long and looks so fresh on the lips. i just add lip balm on top and it’s perfect 💋

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.

I’ve used this regularly for a few months and there’s still about a quarter of the bottle left. A little bit goes a long way. Stains lips all morning long. Plus it smells sweet, like strawberries. Will definitely reorder this!

Lightweight, vibrant, and long-lasting tint! I tried the Etude House Dear Darling Water Tint in Cherry Ade, and I really liked it. The watery formula does not suit for my pigmented lips, so I use it for my cheeks and is not sticky at all but leaves a color stains on your fingers if your using fingers. The color is vibrant and gives a fresh, natural “just-bitten” look. It’s buildable, so I can go from a subtle tint to a more intense shade easily. The tint lasts for several hours and fades evenly without leaving harsh patches. It’s comfortable to wear, though I make sure my lips are exfoliated beforehand since it can highlight dry spots. The applicator is precise and easy to use. Overall, great value for the price! Perfect for everyday wear if you want a pop of natural color

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!
