A blend-with-your-lips tint that turns natural lip tone into a soft terracotta-brown wash that barely budges all day.
About this product
KATE Lip Monster Clear Tone C03 Branch Monster is a sheer-buildable lip tint from Kanebo's KATE Tokyo line, built on the original Lip Monster's moisture-activated gel technology. Instead of a flat solid color, the clear-based pigment blends with your own lip tone for a your-lips-but-better terracotta-brown finish that resists smudging through meals and long days.
How to use
- Apply directly from the stick to bare, dry lips in one or two swipes.
- Wait a few seconds as lip moisture activates the gel film and sets the color.
- Layer a second coat only on the center of the lips for a more defined, gradient look.
- Blot gently with a tissue if you prefer a softer, more diffused finish.
Ingredients
- Dipentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate — forms the moisture-activated adhesive gel film that locks color onto lips.
- Octyldodecanol — lightweight emollient carrier that helps pigment glide on smoothly.
- Jojoba Seed Oil — softens and conditions lips against dryness.
- Olive Fruit Oil — nourishes and adds a subtle cushiony glide.
- Sweet Almond Oil — moisturizes and helps soften the sheer tint on the lips.
FAQ
Will this look too dark or unnatural on my skin tone?
Clear Tone shades are designed to blend with your own lip color rather than sit flat on top, so C03 reads as a warm brown-terracotta wash on most skin tones rather than a solid opaque color.
Does it dry out lips like a typical long-wear tint?
The formula includes jojoba, olive, and almond oils to help offset the drying feel common in long-wear lip products, though very dry lips may still want a balm underneath.
How long does the color actually last?
KATE's moisture-activated gel technology is designed for extended wear through eating and drinking, though exact hours vary by person and activity.
🇺🇸 For US customers
