Product details

Four Dear Darling Oil Tint bottles from sheer pink to cherry red on a white table between a glass dish of golden oil and clear oil beads

Glossy + juicy

An oil lip tint that coats lips in a dazzling, plump glossy film while its colour stains through.

Etude’s Dear Darling Oil Tint is a lip-layering tint that looks like gloss and wears like a stain. A rich blend of glossy oils gives lips a wet, plumped-up shine and a moist, smooth feel, while vivid colour from bright red to brilliant pink tints the lips underneath. Layer it on its own or over other lip colours.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • High-gloss oils

    Thick, cushiony glossy esters lead the list. They give the tint its plump, mirror-like shine and help it cling to the lips.

    No. 1, 2 of 11 on the list

  • Smoothing oils

    A light oil and a rich emollient that keep lips feeling moist and smooth under the colour.

    No. 3, 4 of 11 on the list

  • Stain + colour

    A staining dye tints the lips themselves, while lake pigments add the vivid colour you see in the glossy layer.

    No. 6, 8, 9 of 11 on the list

A cherry-red Oil Tint bottle beside a white palette with three glossy swatches in red, coral and pale pink
