Truthfully, a red, watery lip tint isn't exactly a hard thing to come across, but this Aritaum version is nice for a couple of reasons: it's not quite as watery as, say, Benetint or Peri's tint (it has more of a gel texture, meaning you get slightly more wiggle room if you make a mistake), and the color itself is a fairly pigmented, quite buildable blue-red. I wouldn't recommend this product if you want just a subtle touch of red, but if you want a base for a bright red lip, this is your guy.
