Lip Tint
The defining product of Korean colour cosmetics. The gradient-lip look, the water-glow finishes and stain-level wear all originated in Korean labs, which makes the lip tint the highest-credibility entry product for a colour brand.

What makes it work
- Korean tints defined the modern category. Water, glow and velvet finishes with stain-level wear all started here.
- Vegan and cruelty-free dye systems are available for clean-colour positioning.
- Minis and trial sizes are standard tooling, useful for discovery sets and social commerce.
- Shade development runs in-house at Korean color factories. Colour products are quoted per shade, so shade count drives total production volume more than in skincare.
Texture & format
Liquid tint with a doe-foot applicator, engineered for stain-level wear in water, velvet or glossy finishes.
Frequently asked
How does shade development work with a Korean manufacturer?
You provide reference shades or a brief, and the factory's colour lab develops lab-dips for approval in iterations. A first launch typically runs 5 to 8 shades on one base.
What finishes can Korean lip tint factories produce?
Water tint, velvet tint and glossy tint are the standard families, and all three can run from one production line with different bases.
