This isn't a tint so much as it is a liquid lipstick. I bought this bearing that in mind on a friend's recommendation. I went out of my way to get this specific color, as it was pretty much sold out everywhere. My lips are naturally pretty pigmented, so a lot of the popular shades are more like a light nude or don't show up at all on my lips. This one looks amazing against my skin tone; it gives me that "bitten lip" look.I tend to stay away from most liquid lipsticks because they really highlight the dry spots on your lips. This one does, but not nearly as badly as other formulas - if I moisturize beforehand or after, it looks fine. The formula dries quickly and truly feels like I'm not wearing any lipstick. I can't speak to staying power as I just put it on to test, but even after it dries down, it does wipe off. Not as easily as other formulas, but it's not permanent. That personally doesn't bother me. I find that I don't need to apply much to get the amount of pigmentation I want.This came very well packaged, and I love the texture of the tube itself since it has that soft velvet feel. Very evocative of the product's formula. I would definitely buy this again, and in other colors.
