Choonee Lip Tint Review

Choonee is a brand I’ve only seen carried at bbcosmetic and it has this kind of cute backstory

Choonee Story

CHUNHEE, a young lady just came up to Seoul from the countryside, who looks slightly
 less refined and brainy to become an urban girl.
She is re-born with beautiful and lovely look by using the cosmetics made with best recipes.
How was CHUNHEE able to change herself to a beautiful CHOONEE?
What kind of cosmetics made her have such beautiful skin?
Let’s go into her daily life together.

They actually have quite a few products in the line but I’m here to talk about lip tints

To preface this I am terrible at lip makeup. I don’t think my lips are pretty and I know they’re small. This all makes for a hard time doing the popular full lip look in the US and even the gradient lips of Korea. But I will say that these tints were the first tint I’ve ever used and was actually able to make a gradient lip that looked normal.

I will also add that these all have the slightest sweet fragrance and function exactly how I thought cherry chapstick was supposed to (in tinting your lip and not being clear) I’m not going to go into ingredient depth on these since… they’re like chapstick but I can say that the packaging has ingredients in English and this balm does feature oils like

• grapeseed oil
• sweet almond oil
• jojoba oil
• shea butter

In terms of lasting and wear-ability they do stain fairly well so long as you don’t eat oily food within the first hour of wear. I found dry food and drinking liquids didn’t seem to affect the wear too much especially if I applied the stain to the entire lip.

My favorite color: Cherry

I found this one to be fairly close to my natural lip color when flushed. It’s also the first red product I can wear comfortably on my lips. And wearing red makes me feel like an adult

The one I find cute on camera, but not for me irl: Peach

This one felt a little too bright pink on me. Its very cute to photogragh I think since it gives that little flower petal effect when used in a gradient. I think this would be very cute on lips that were bigger than mine

The One that told me don’t wear orange: Grapefruit

I think that orange might not be a good color on people with freckles since the freckles have a sort of warmer hue. Makes the balance in tones a little off to me. There’s some people who a true orange looks great on. I’m not one of those people.

 

Overall

• Scent: it’s almost unscented but you can kinda a hint of fragrance just after you apply
• Color payout: starts sheer but is build-able
• Does it tint/stain: yes it will stain your lips according to the color, especially if you wear it a long time
• Lasting? If I was like drinking a soda or coffee and eating dry foods the stain would last through them
  • If I wanted to eat oily foods I would have to reapply or at least wait to eat an hour after applying the water tint
• Reapplication: I could see someone needing to reapply after lunch, but for me I was good for about 8hrs
• Hydrating? Yes, it definitely has a lip balm feel to me, like chapstick so I have to fight the urge to slather since it stains. I do find that if you want a gradient and then apply a balm over it. Wait a little bit for the tint to stain and you’ll be good to go.

Would I recommend this to people who like tints?

Yes

I would most recommend this to people like me who have had almost no luck with liquid tints.
