Dear Darling Water Tint

Very long lasting and very lightweight! I currently own two colors, the cherry and the grapefruit. The two of them have very tasty smells. It isn't sticky at all and the texture is similar to water. I find it very easy to apply. the only thing I will say is that after eating or drinking, the color may fade. It's also important that you make sure your lips are well. Mositurized beforehand, otherwise it may accentuate texture and cracks in your lips.

My holy grail and go to. Smells so good, it’s strong but not nauseating like some things (cherry candy scent). The color is cute and looks really natural when diffused. On my lips it doesn’t last the longest, but as blush it stays all day. And I only put one dot. It’s great and super easy to use. Not to mention, for those with texture issues, it’s a water tint so there’s literally no weird texture (feels like nothing) better then benetint (as someone who has it)

I’d give this 5 stars if I could get it to last over a hour! At first I loved it! Loved the colors , loved the stain! I actually still love it but it disappears after 2 hours completely after one hour it has minor remnants. I still love it! My daughter can get hers to last for 4 hours so maybe it’s me🤷🏻‍♀️ but either way I’d still recommend it and I would still buy again! The price is great colors are beautiful just need to play with it a bit to get a good solid few hours I guess!

Good tint, is very pigmented and durable when you use it make sure you brush it quick because it dry very quick but is a very long lasting and a little goes a long way

I’ve had this tint for about a year now- it is a nice bright red shade, depending on how much you apply. This is a very watery lip tint and removes easily with water (not the best longevity). It is not sticky at all! It applies very easily with the wand in the container. I have packed this with me before and it leaked in my makeup bag, so store this upright :) This is a good option if you need a quick and not long lasting lip tint, but I don’t generally recommend it for practical uses (not easy to travel with… you’d likely have to reapply) If you are searching for a red lip color that does not apply like a traditional “creamy” lip stick, this is perfect! It allows your lips to remain their “natural texture”. Keep in mind that this product is a tint, so it is not meant for super long occasions, a stain would be more ideal for long lasting color.

I love this. The tint color is so perfectly cherry! For the price, it is so perfect and much better than the benetint. A little goes a long way! Let it dry and it does indeed last! I really recommend if you don't want to spend more than 10$ on a lippie. It really is just water tint that does exactly what it's supposed to. It also lasts a long time, I've had mine for like over a year now, will be repurchasing for sure.

I’ve tried a lot of lip tints, and this one quickly became a favorite. The Cherry Ade shade is exactly as described — a fresh, cherry-toned pink that looks natural but still gives your lips a bright, healthy pop of color. It’s perfect whether you’re running errands or doing a minimal makeup day. Texture & Feel: The formula is lightweight and watery, just like a tinted gloss but without the heavy stickiness. It glides on smoothly and feels very comfortable — almost like wearing a lip balm with color. Even after it wears down, my lips feel hydrated rather than dry or tight. Color & Finish: The tint gives a glowy, juicy finish that isn’t too shiny or greasy. The Cherry Ade shade is universally flattering — it looks more vibrant on bare lips and slightly deeper if layered. Personally, I like building it up for weekend brunch and keeping it just a wash of color for everyday wear. Lasting Power: It lasts surprisingly well for a watery tint. The color stays visible for a few hours, and even after the shine fades, there’s a soft tint left behind. It doesn’t patch or flake, and touch-ups are easy when you want a fresh look. Comfort & Wearability: I didn’t experience any irritation or dryness, even wearing it multiple days in a row. It feels lightweight, breathable, and comfortable — I often forget I’m wearing it, which is a big plus in my book. Packaging: The applicator is simple and easy to use — not oversized or unwieldy — and the tube fits nicely in my purse. It’s one of those products that’s easy to apply on the go. Pros: ✔️ Lightweight, non-sticky texture ✔️ Beautiful cherry-toned shade that works with many skin tones ✔️ Hydrating and comfortable for long wear ✔️ Natural, juicy finish Cons: ➖ Not transfer-proof (but most water tints aren’t) ➖ If you want an opaque, bold lip, this won’t give full coverage — but that’s not its purpose Who This Is For: If you like effortless makeup with a natural, fresh-faced look, this tint delivers. It’s perfect for casual days, office wear, or anytime you want just a hint of color that enhances your lips without feeling heavy. Final Thoughts: This tint hits the sweet spot between comfort and color. Cherry Ade is flattering and wearable, and the formula feels nourishing rather than drying. For anyone who loves a subtle, “your lips but better” tint — this is a must-try and one of my go-to lip products now. ✔️ Would repurchase ✔️ Great for everyday wear ✔️ Perfect tint-for-bare-lips vibe

This is really pigmented and doesn't blend very well, but I think the color is really pretty! You can blend it easier with a wet sponge. It's not a stain, and it will fade after drinking water or eating. But I really like it and don't have to use much for the color to pop.

Nice Product.

Great! Works well, a good dupe for the benetint x

The ETUDE Dear Darling Water Tint in #Strawberry Ade is a delightful addition to my makeup routine. The bright strawberry hue is vivid yet natural, perfect for everyday wear or layering for a bolder look. The lightweight, water-based formula feels comfortable and non-sticky, providing a fresh burst of color that lasts for hours. The moisturizing pomegranate and grapefruit extracts keep my lips feeling soft and hydrated. It’s easy to apply and doesn’t smudge, making it perfect for on-the-go touch-ups. The compact packaging is convenient and adorable. A must-have for anyone who loves effortless, long-lasting lip tints!
