7 K-Beauty Lip Tints Taking Over Instagram

Tint Type: stain

Shades Available: 4

Wear: till noon

For all intents and purposes, let’s call it a stain because it’s a sheer, longwear liquid lip that leaves you a healthy pink glow (as a treat!) when it mostly wears off. 

It also dries like a stain, by which I mean close to the lips and not at all sticky. But it does have a little bit of shine on its own that other stains simply don’t. It’s almost like a lip lamination—picture a thin veil of plastic wrap rather than the dimensional, plush shine you’d get from something goopier. 

The final effect is the closest I got to matching the K-beauty lips on Instagram, thanks to a combo of the finish and blendability. The feel of a stain, with the shine of a gloss: this lip tint belongs in a category all its own.
