Collection: Lip Oil︱Tint︱Glosses

While all three products deliver beautiful shine and colour, they are formulated differently to achieve distinct results:

• Lip Tints: Designed primarily for long-lasting pigment. They absorb directly into the lips rather than sitting on top and leave more of a matte finish than a glossy one.
• Lip Oils: Infused with nutrient-rich oils, they absorb deeply to nourish and repair dry lips from within, leaving a lightweight shine.
• Lip Glosses: They deliver a high-impact, glass-like shine. They are perfect for adding instant volume, plumpness, and dimension to your pout.

Although lip tints are often considered more drying than lip oils or glosses, many Korean lip tints are formulated with moisturising ingredients to keep lips feeling comfortable throughout the day. Formulas such as the Etude Fixing Tint provide long-lasting colour without leaving the lips feeling overly dry. However, if you naturally have dry lips, preparing them before applying a lip tint can make a noticeable difference. Gently smooth away flakes with a nourishing lip mask, such as the TOCOBO Collagen Boosting Lip Mask, or apply the Laka Soothing Prep Lip Mask before your lip tint. This helps soften rough patches and creates a smoother base, allowing the colour to apply more evenly and last longer.

Yes, you can definitely layer a lip oil over a lip tint to achieve a juicy, high-shine pout. Because lip tints stain the lips with long-wearing pigment, they provide the perfect, smudge-proof colour base. Applying a nourishing oil like the TIRTIR My Glow Lip Oil or TOCOBO Juicy Berry Plumping Lip Oil on top seals in that colour while giving your lips extra shine.

If your lips are prone to dryness or flaking, a lip oil is by far your best choice. While standard glosses provide a temporary surface shine, they do not deeply treat underlying dryness. A great choice is the Dr. Ceuracle Vegan Active Berry Lip Oil, which is enriched with an active berry complex and vitamin E to help keep lips soft, hydrated and smooth while improving the appearance of fine lines.

Velvet lip tints, such as the Rom&nd Zero Velvet Tint and Fwee Lip&Cheek Blurry Pudding Pot, have a soft, mousse-like texture that blends easily and dries down to a blurred matte finish. Glossy lip tints, on the other hand, deliver vibrant colour with a juicy, high-shine finish that makes the lips appear fuller and more hydrated. Formulas like the Etude Glow Fixing Tint and Laka Fruity Glam Tint are excellent examples.
