A lip tint is a lightweight, long-lasting cosmetic product designed to add a natural-looking flush of color to the lips. Unlike traditional lipsticks, which can be creamy or glossy, lip tints typically have a watery, gel, or mousse-like texture and provide a stain that lasts for hours.
Types of Lip Tints:
-
Water-Based Lip Tints – Lightweight, sheer, and buildable; often hydrating.
-
Gel or Balm Tints – More moisturizing with a glossy or balm-like finish.
-
Mousse or Velvet Tints – Soft, powdery matte finish with long wear.
-
Stain Pens or Liquid Tints – Highly pigmented with a precise applicator.
Benefits:
✔ Long-lasting – Stains the lips rather than sitting on top.
✔ Natural finish – Gives a “just-bitten” look.
✔ Lightweight – Doesn’t feel heavy or sticky.
✔ Versatile – Can be layered or blended for different intensities.
How to Apply:
-
Exfoliate lips for a smooth base.
-
Apply a thin layer and blend with fingers for a soft look.
-
Layer for deeper color, allowing each layer to set.
-
Top with balm if you prefer a glossy finish.
