Sheer grape-toned pink that locks onto lips as a long-wearing gel film using their own moisture.
About this product
KATE Lip Monster Clear Tone C04 "Budouka Monster" is a limited seasonal shade in the Clear Tone lineup — a sheer, blue-toned pink-purple with a grape-like depth of color. The Clear Tone series uses KATE's moisture-activated color-lock technology, where the lips' own moisture turns into a clinging gel film that keeps a natural, your-lips-but-better flush in place through the day.
How to use
- Apply directly from the bullet onto bare lips, starting from the center and blending outward.
- Wait a few seconds for the color to set into a gel film.
- Layer a second coat only on the center of the lips for a deeper, more defined flush.
Ingredients
- Color-locking gel technology — transforms the lips' own moisture into a clinging gel film that holds the sheer color in place.
- Sheer, blue-toned pigment blend — builds "Budouka Monster"'s soft grape-pink color without opacity or a heavy after-feel.
- Moisturizing base — keeps the long-wear tint from feeling drying on the lips.
FAQ
Will C04 look too dark or opaque?
No — it's formulated as a sheer, blue-toned wash of color, so it builds a soft grape-pink flush rather than full, opaque coverage.
How long does the color hold?
KATE's Clear Tone formula is designed to resist transfer by turning lip moisture into a gel film, so color holds through meals and drinks better than a standard sheer tint.
🇺🇸 For US customers
KATE's Lip Monster already has a cult following among J-beauty fans who first got into the category through Heroine Make and ReFa — the Clear Tone line takes that transfer-resistant technology and sheers it out into a "your lips but better" wash of color, and C04 "Budouka Monster" is the brand's grape-toned pick for anyone wanting a Japanese-style natural flush instead of a heavily pigmented Western lip stain.
