At a single sheer layer, Red Grapefruit Ade reads as a warm-tinted, naturally flushed coral-red  fresh, healthy, and like the lips but better.

About the Shade: 04 Red Grapefruit Ade

Red Grapefruit Ade (04) is inspired by the bittersweet, effervescent freshness of red grapefruit sparkling ade  a warm-bright, coral-inflected red that occupies the most universally wearable space in the colour spectrum between orange and red. Unlike the pure cool red of 02 Cherry Ade or the vivid warm orange of 03 Orange Ade, Red Grapefruit Ade reads as a warm red with coral warmth and brightness  approachable and natural at lighter application, bold and vibrant when built up. It is particularly flattering on warm, neutral, and olive skin tones where the coral warmth creates a harmonious, radiant glow, but its brightness and depth make it equally fresh and impactful on fair and cool-toned skin. The ideal choice for anyone who wants one signature lip tint shade that works across the most diverse range of occasions, outfits, and makeup looks.

Choosing Between the Dear Darling Water Tint Shades

The Etude Dear Darling Water Tint collection at OHSOGO is available in three shades, each with a distinct character: 02 Cherry Ade for a cool, vivid cherry red with bold, statement-making depth; 03 Orange Ade for a vibrant warm orange-coral that maximizes complexion brightness and sun-kissed warmth; and 04 Red Grapefruit Ade for the warm-bright coral-red middle ground that is the most versatile and universally flattering of the three. If you’re choosing just one, Red Grapefruit Ade is the most reliably wearable across occasions and skin tones.

How to Apply

Apply directly to the lips using the doe-foot applicator. For a sheer, natural ‘just-flushed’ coral-red look, apply one layer to the centre of the lips and blend outward with fingertips. For full vivid coral-red intensity, apply evenly across the full lip in one to two layers. For the Korean gradient lip look, concentrate at the inner lips and diffuse outward. The tint stains the lips for lasting colour retention beyond the surface wear. Can be layered with a clear gloss for added shine.
