Etude has made its return to Singapore’s retail shops and we couldn’t be happier now that we can easily get our hands on their adorable lippies.

Fixing Tint Lipstick has a mousse-like texture that will sit comfortably on your lips. Its buildable consistency is also great for creating a gradient lip look.

Its name perfectly describes its hue. This is a light beige shade with a splash of orange undertones, perfectly embodying a cup of ginger milk tea.

It’s time to show some love to our bullet-type lipsticks. Melty Luminous Rouge even features a bullet with a heart embossed on the top of it.

That aside, the shade Rose Milk Tea is a great option if you’re not a huge fan of a pale beige. As the name suggests, it has a tinge of rosy pink that pairs well with its beige undertones.

Your pout will get a candy-like appearance with the high-shine finish its formula gives you.

Canmake Melty Luminous Rouge in shade T02 Rose Milk Tea retails for S$17.17, available at Yesstyle.

Wakemake Water Blurring Fixing Tint in shade #05 Soft Brick

Don’t be fooled by the watery, glossy texture of this lipstick. It may look like a gloss but it actually dries down matte.

The soft pink-brown with a tinge of apricot brings about a sweet twist to the usual “milk tea” lipstick shade.

With its watery consistency, you’ll be able to blend and even mix it with other shades to customise your lip colour too.

Wakemake  Water Blurring Fixing Tint in shade #05 Soft Brick retails for S$12.81 on Yesstyle.

We’re swooning over the heart-shaped lipstick bottle.

If you’re looking for a nude shade, this option is great for you. Unlike the other “milk tea” lipsticks that may have a warm undertone, this shade is a neutral nude. It’s a mid-toned brown that bears a hint of pink for the perfect balance.

It also has a matte finish for that MLBB (My Lips But Better) look.

Kaja Love Swipe in shade #03 Everygirl retails for S$16.79, available at Yesstyle.
