About this product
KATE Lip Monster is the brand's cult, ultra-long-wear lip tint built on a gel-film technology that reacts with the natural moisture on your lips to hold color through eating, drinking, and masks. Shade 13, '3:00AM's Light Buzz' (3:00AMの微酔), is a web-exclusive, muted smoky rose pink with a soft, blush-like finish.
How to use
- Apply directly from the tip in one swipe across bare lips.
- Wait a few seconds for the gel film to set before eating or drinking.
- Reapply only once color has visibly faded — no need to blot beforehand.
Ingredients
- Dipentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate — An emollient that helps the gel tint glide on smoothly.
- Tri(Caprylic/Capric Acid) Glyceryl — A skin-conditioning ester that adds moisture and slip to the formula.
- Color Pigments — High-pigment dyes deliver Lip Monster's signature saturated, one-swipe color payoff.
- Adhesion Gel Technology — KATE's proprietary formula reacts with the lips' own moisture to form a thin gel film that locks color in place.
FAQ
Why doesn't Lip Monster come off after eating or drinking?
Its gel-film technology uses the moisture naturally evaporating from lips to form a thin adhesive film that holds pigment in place, rather than relying on wax or oil alone.
Is shade 13 a limited or discontinued color?
It's a web-exclusive shade sold online rather than in all physical stores — not a discontinued color.
Does it feel drying like typical long-wear lip products?
The formula includes emollient and moisture-conditioning ingredients meant to offset the dryness common to long-wear lip color.
🇺🇸 For US customers
Lip Monster has become one of the most talked-about J-beauty exports in r/AsianBeauty circles for its almost implausible transfer-resistance, and shade 13's moody, smoky rose leans into the muted, 'your lips but better' colors that Western indie brands charge three times as much for.
