Ratings of the best health and beauty products

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Tint is a liquid cosmetic first introduced in Korea. It is made on a water or oil base, with the addition of a large amount of coloring pigment, which, penetrating deep into the skin, creates a permanent coating with a tattoo effect on the lips. Due to its light and weightless texture, the tint is practically not felt on the lips, but at the same time it keeps the makeup in perfect condition for many hours.

How to choose the right lip tint

Consistency. Tints can be oily, jelly-like, or completely runny. The more watery the structure of the product, the faster it dries, therefore, it is better to start acquaintance with tints with a jelly-like consistency.

  1. Applicator. The traditional option – a bottle with the usual fluffy sponge brush is the most convenient, because it allows you to apply the product even on the go. Tints in jars will have to be applied with your fingers, which will create some inconvenience. There are also more practical options, such as tints in the form of felt-tip pens, for precise and quick application along the contour.
  2. Color pigment. As a rule, tints from most manufacturers are presented in a limited range of colors – a maximum of 3-5 shades, which in bottles look very bright and rich. However, do not worry, because after applying to the lips, the product is absorbed and becomes more natural, emphasizing the natural skin tone of the lips. You can adjust color saturation by applying additional layers.
  3. Nice bonuses. Tints are intended primarily for creating sustainable lip makeup, but many manufacturers are increasingly delighting with their fashionable novelties – products with sunscreen factor, moisturizing ingredients and caring ingredients appear on the shelves.
  4. Composition. It is better to give preference to products with vitamins, natural oils, natural extracts, which will allow the skin not to dry out and receive nutrition and hydration even with regular long-term wearing of tint.
