ETUDE Dear Darling Water Gel Tint (#RD301 Real Red)(21AD) | Long-lasting Effect up with Fruity, Juicy, Moist, and Vivid coloring

The color is perfect. It goes on sticky, but dries after a while. It has a definite grape soda smell to it, but nothing too unpleasant. Will buy again when this one runs out.

This will actually stain your lips and the stain stays for several hours. This isn't going to be a vibrant stain where its going to look like lipstick but a more muted, more natural look to your lips. The more you reapply, the deeper the stain is going to be. When you apply, have patients and let it sit for 10 minutes to let it sink in before licking your lips. Be aware, if you have very dry lips, its going to dye the dry spots and make them super noticeable and look very patchy. Definitely exfoliate your lips before using this product.

love it and smells so good

Smells weird, had bad taste

The texture and color are excellent! I was addicted to the Vincent Longo stain for years before it was discontinued, and this is the closest replacement I’ve found in terms of wear. It’s best to moisturize before hand, and like that set in for about five minutes before applying. However, I ultimately returned it because it is so chemical-laden. The smell is overwhelming, which honestly I could deal with because it doesn’t last long. I wore it as a cheek and lip stain for a few days and it started to give me a rash, as well as dry out my lips so much that nothing over it offered relief. It was irritation due to the chemicals. If you’re not chemical sensitive, this is a great product. Unfortunately, it is not for me.

even if your lips are slightly dry, it shows off every little crack or line it’s not cute. but it does stay on pretty well. smells and tastes like cough syrup

really bad

Isn't color that was shown in sample in ad..much darker..so I returned it
