Product details

Four Dear Darling Water Gel Tints in Real Red, Cherry Red, Watermelon Red and Redbean Pink on a white table between a cut pomegranate and loose seeds

Jelly + juicy

A water-gel lip tint that stains like juicy fruit and keeps lips moist under vivid red colour.

Etude’s Dear Darling Water Gel Tint is the brand’s classic tint in a fresh jelly texture. It glides on like fruit juice, soaks in to leave a lasting stain, and the bouncy gel holds moisture on the lips so they don’t feel dry. Its shades run the full red line, from bright tangerine red to deep, cool reds.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Water gel base

    Water thickened into a bouncy jelly, so the tint glides on fresh and light and doesn’t run.

    No. 1, 3, 8 of 22 on the list

  • Moisture holders

    Humectants and a moisture-binding sugar high up the list keep lips feeling moist for longer as the stain sets.

    No. 2, 4, 5 of 22 on the list

  • Pomegranate

    A touch of pomegranate fruit extract, in keeping with the tint’s juicy, fruity colour.

    No. 20 of 22 on the list

  • Stain colours

    Water-soluble dyes that tint the lips themselves, which is why the colour lasts once it has soaked in.

    No. 9, 11 of 22 on the list
