Beauty Need Not Be Expensive Pt. 2: Our Top Fave High-Performing Lip Tints

If you're unaware, it's all about tints these days. Thanks to Korean dramas and their pop scene, most girls would rather wear tints than lipsticks.

Tints probably inspired gradient lips, which feature a juicy pop of color in the middle of your puckers. Korean girls normally wear tints in the middle of their lips for a doll-like look.

We've complied a list of some inexpensive but high performance tints for you:

Ever Bilena Advance Lip & Cheek Stain

This cheek stain's claim to fame is that Ellen Adarna can survive on this and eyebrow pencil. She uses the stain on her lips and cheeks. If your lips aren't overly pigmented, this will work on you.

At less than Php200 for a tube, this lip stain is definitely a good buy.

KJM Lip and Cheek Tint

This lip tint is a favorite of YouTuber Anna Cay. I always make it a point to support local brands so I'm eyeing this in Bittersweet Magenta and Tango.

To order, go to their site. Their physical store is in Davao. The trick to using this it is to mix the shades to get even color.

Delight Tony Tint by Tony Moly

Red is the most popular color of this tint but Cherry Pink is a nice one, too. This is another favorite of Anna Cay. Like most tints, it applies patchy so be ready to blend fast.

The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain

This is The Body Shop's bestselling product in the Philippines. How many of you had this as your first makeup product? This gives a natural flush and isn't patchy.
