While lip tints have been around for a few years, the trend only really took off after they were spotted on many Korean celebrities. Available in both glossy and matte finishes, they are popular for their lightweight, hydrating formulas and are extremely easy to apply. And while lip tints initially only gave a light wash of colour, the newer ones tend to give intense colour payoff and are surprisingly longlasting. Here, the latest tints released in 2017 to try.
The weightless tint fuses with lips within a few seconds after application and promises zero transfer, be it to a glass or through kisses, almost like a tattoo. It gives a semi-matte finish with subtle shine, and you won’t need to reapply for at least 10 hours.
The hydrating lippie has an adorable outer shell that gives vivid yet slightly translucent colour payoff, while the inner core lip motif reinforces the formula for a more lasting finish. The hybrid formula gives you a moist, just bitten glow that looks healthy and flirty.
This rosy tint can be used on both your lips and cheeks. Easy to blend in, it reacts to your skin’s pH to give you your own unique pink tone. The best thing about it is you can build its intensity simply by adding extra layers. One layer gives a natural rosy flush while three gives intense colour.
This rich, creamy tint glides and melts over lips to give you smooth, intense colour. It has plant-based ingredients such as phyto-squalane and shea butter to hydrate and protect your puckers.
This colour enhancing lip tint offers an illuminating effect to brighten skin tone. It provides enhanced colour in just one swipe, while its wet texture dries down to provide a soft matte finish that feels lightweight on the lips. A favourite of brand ambassador Park Shin Hye, it rose to popularity after the actress wore it on the hit K-drama series Doctors.
This weightless lip tint gives great colour payoff and all-day smudge-proof wear for up to 12 hours.
