Gucci's Oil-In-Water Tint Hydrating Lip Stain applies like a glossy lip oil but leaves behind a watercolor stain that doesn't transfer pigment. Several praise its lightweight, hydrating feel and glassy finish, though By Kristina Studio notes it settled crusty on the inner lips mid-wear before evening into a pretty flush. At $42, Marlena Stell finds it worth the luxury price, while By Kristina Studio disagrees, citing better-performing glossy stains for less.

POSITIVE
- “The formula is unlike any lip product I've ever tried”15:22–15:24
- “It looks and applies like a lip gloss, but it doesn't feel like one. It is not tacky”15:27–15:32
- “It glides like a lip oil, but it's very lightweight, hydrating”15:36–15:38
- “It feels very smooth and almost like you're applying a skincare-like product on the lips”15:41–15:45
- “The gloss, the shine will start to fade slowly over time, but what's left behind is a stain”16:06–16:09
- “I do think it is worth the $42 price tag. Mainly because it is a luxury product”16:30–16:33

- “Also very, very impressed by this color”14:14–14:19
- “I'd say that this is probably going to not be something I'll reach for so much over the summer. This is more giving shoulder season to me. This is very much like a spring and fall vibe, but like come fall, I'll probably be rolling with that big time”14:26–14:39

MIXED / NEGATIVE
Variant: 130
- “I really like the texture of this. I think that it goes on very nicely and exactly what I would be looking for from a more luxury lip stain”15:12–15:20
- “This goes on feeling like water. It feels like you're putting thick water on your lips and it feels very thin at the same time”15:22–15:30
- “When you rub your lips together, it surprisingly feels very substantial like a lip oil”15:34–15:42
- “I really loved though how this looks slightly glossy without being overly shiny”16:59–17:03
- “It almost looks like you're looking at the color through a glass, you know, like it looks glassy and shiny, but you have a little bit of that watercolor type look when it comes to the pigmentation”17:08–17:13
- “I thought it was really, really beautiful”17:20–17:25
- “I didn't have a lot of transfer. If anything, just the shine was transferring. The gloss aspect of it was transferring, but none of the pigment was transferring onto the cup, which I thought was really impressive”17:38–17:43
- “For the second check-in, I really did not like the way that it was settling on the inside of my lips”18:11–18:15
