ETUDEHouse Fixing Tint 10 Smoky Cherry High Pigmented Waterproof Liquid Lipstick

Applies beautifully

It’s a little drying but maintains a great color

My favorite lip product! Other water tints irriate my lips, but this one has no issues on my lips. Since it’s a matte lip it’s a bit dry and has no gloss, but I love the light color and softness. I’d definitely buy it for the third time.

It goes on quite juicy and color is a great stain but it does go matte fairly quick. I have good success applying a light lip balm but then color fades a bit faster. Even then it lasts 5-6 hours. An excellent value.

I didn't see any pictures with swatches of Salmon Brick so ill do the favor of providing them for others~It's soooo pretty to me!!!Once applied on my lips it definitely looks more rosy rather than the darker peach present on the swatch (and i actually really like that, though it may be misguiding for some). Hand/ arm swatches are never the same as when applied on the lips.I will also note it has an amazinggg smooth texture, no weird smell, and how lightweight this product is. I can't even feel it.AND its 100% non-transferable once it dries, long lasting (it's lasted almost all day! It doesnt fade while drinking but does fade just a bit when eating so I'd reapply if anything).The slighttt problem i have with it is that the matteness does make my lips look wrinkley after wearing it for so long, so prepare to moisturize your lips if need be.But the pros outweigh the cons for me and this is certainly a great dailywear color imo. Its pretty close to my natural lip shade and i will add that im only wearing the slightest amount of product on my lips in the 2nd picture ( concentrating the pigment on the inner center on my lips and blending outwards ). A little goes a longgg way with the amount of color deposit from 1 swipe!!

So I used this for a bride I currently worked on because she was looking for something with more natural color and it was well worth it! I did some research on the fixing tints (as well as practice using them myself) and really enjoyed the consistency. The water based part I actually really liked, the tricky part is making sure your lips are moisturized without it being an oil-based balm you use underneath or a lip treatment from the night before. It's very drying but that's mainly to be concerned about for the next day. It reminds me of the color pop blotted lips, which I LOVED. Also very drying but made the lips look like a powdered blur, which was incredible. But color pop is moving on from the blotted liquid lip phase, so I needed another option. This is a great option and would recommend! It's great for brides (but color strongly stays for 4-6 hours, after that it's more like a beautiful fade tint.) Brides/anyone kissing often will need lip colors that stay, this is one of those great options.Pros:Stays strong for 4-6 hours (faded tint sometimes last till next day)More Natural lookingSimilar to colorpop blotted lipWaterbased/Non-streaky-for the most partLess weird feeling (than other lipstick brands)Great fade (no weird line deadskin buildup line that I noticed)Can build up or be more natural lookingCons:Light tint stays sometimes till next dayPretty drying, will need lip balm next day (or easy overnight lip treatment)Stays strong for only 4-6 hoursWaterbased-must drink with a straw for best results, and light eating more recommended.
