What's up?!
So I know I owe you a post last week. I had to skip one just to give way for a new video that I'm cookin' for you. It's almost done and hopefully, I'd get to upload it on Friday night. 👌
For tonight though, I'm leaving you with another lip tint review. Here's The Face Shop Watery Tint.
I got mine during the Buy One Get One promo, but individually, I think they are priced at around 250 php. Not bad for a 5g tube.
Color
Red Up is a true red while Cherry Red is a deeper red with some berry hints to it.
Pigmentation-wise, both are amazing. They give off a rich, intense color on both cheeks and lips.
Formula
Although the label says "watery", the formula is a bit thicker than usual water-based tints. It's like borderline gel-like in consistency. My The Saem Water Tint is actually more liquidy.
They both smell like sweet candy as well, but it's not something strong/irritating.
Application
In these photos, I wore each on the cheeks and lips.
As a cheek tint, they tend to be unforgiving. Since they are very pigmented, they create stain so easily so you have to be quick in blending and start with a small amount. Otherwise, you'd probably end up with super red cheeks. Haha! #putokblushon 😜
To solve that problem, I mix it first with my BB cream to create like a cream blush. That way, it's way easier to apply it since I get to control the color intensity better. This is my trick whenever a lip/cheek tint is difficult to blend out.
Application is better on the lips - five seconds and you're done!
Lasting Power
Cherry Red
As expected, color lasts for hours. Although sometimes, Cherry Red becomes noticeably uneven as it fades. But both leave a nice stain even after eating/drinking.
I have to say, I like both but I grab Cherry Red more often. Anyway, both colors are pretty and perfect for that "lakas maka-fresh" look. 😚
