ETUDE - MeaningInMakeup review for OR201 Kumquat Red

I received this product for free from Picky and ETUDE in exchange for my honest review. This is my second favorite of the three products that I received from Picky and Etude. I absolutely love the berry red color I got (perfect for the holiday season in my opinion, especially since this lippie lasts so well as a tint). I would say that this product is a hybrid between the other two formulations of the matte and water tints. This one still has a water like texture, but isnt so thin that it’s hard to control thanks to its hybrid gel formula. You can see with some wear the tint left behind isn’t as glossy looking as it was from initial application, but there is still some subtle shine to it. The stain left behind by this one is still similar to what the color looked like upon initial application. So there isn’t a huge difference in pigmentation left behind by the stain (which means the stain is pretty strong and that’s a good thing in my opinion). The formula is also very easy to work with to blend out if you want a more subtle ‘popsicle’ look where you just use the stain on the inner part of your lips.
