I have this in Pink Tease and just love it. First be sure your lips are exfoliated when you use it and apply it to dry lips for good staying power. Don't put your balm on first. On me Pink Tease is a very cheerful deep pink. It helps to store the pen applicator side down so the tip is always getting color. This is a lot like using a magic marker to color your lips and the color is a dry stain so you should be sure to use balm or gloss when the marker color is dry. Lasts all day for me. I have no problem taking this off at night. Just use my usual Purpose cleanser and a wash cloth. Hope this is never discontinued.

I got this in Foxy Brown, and I find it a bit scary! You have to be very quick to apply it evenly before it dries, and you definitely do not want to layer this, my lips looked black! Then, it was impossible to remove. I found it to be long lasting and not drying, but the color is way too dark. The pen is larger than I thought and the price was only $6. Maybe I'll try another color...

Am I crazy not to be crazy about these? I bought Berry Bitten and Red Siren and they're both too muddy for my blue undertoned PPP skin. Now admittedly, I can't wear colors that aren't absolutely clear. Any kind of brown in my blush or lipstick/stain looks awful on me. Also, I didn't think this lasted very long. I find UD Lip Ink far superior in terms of wear. Sephora's lip markers too.

That said, I know that a lot of people need a color with more brown for a YLLB look. For those people, who might have found UD lip Ink too red or what have you, this could be a great option.

I got this in Red Siren because I saw it on a model in a magazine with a similar skintone to mine (ppp) and thought it was really pretty. I ordered it and it's just a bit too dark and red for me, but I'm pretty much albino. I do like however that it is very light feeling on your lips and doesn't really budge with lip gloss application. I read on one of these about licking your lips, maybe I'll give that a try. Overall, I do like it, I just might have to get another colour.

If MUA had half lippies, I'd give this a 3.5, so don't let my actual rating confuse you. What I mainly disliked about this was the blotchy appearance- It's almost impossible to get an even application without licking your lips after application. But plenty of other attributes make up for this. I bought this in Siren, which is a beautiful pure rose color. It can be layered for intensity, but sadly it does not last very long (at all). I love the fresh, slightly minty, fruity, flowery smell so much! I practically can't stop sniffing it! Also I like the fact that it's such a great color for such a low price!

I just got these (Foxy Brown, Berry Bitten, Red Siren and Pink Tease). These are exactly what I have been looking for! Long-lasting, look natural and even better with some gloss over. The Foxy Brown gets VERY dark with repeat applications, so get it right the first time.

i have a mark Kissink in Pink Tease and like the color, but it's just a little bit too light. i should've gotten Red Siren b/c i wanted something w/ more color. :( n-e-ways, i like these Kissink Lip Tintmarkers...great stain for lips w/ cute packaging, but sadly enough Pink Tease deserves only a 3 in my book. want to get Red Siren next...that should be a 4 or 5 (hopefully!).

Have Kissink in Foxy Brown. Stains my lips all day, but is a very dark brown that gets quite dark with more applications. Previous reviews are correct, lips have to be completely smooth, but looks great with a gloss over.

I purchased this in two shades, Pink Tease and Red Siren.

Pink Tease just adds a touch more pink to my already well-shaded lips. And Red Siren adds just a touch too much red for me. So I've found that putting Pink Tease all over my lips and then Red Siren in the middle bottom, toward the back of my lip is perfect. Kind of like "just sucked on a lollypop" or "horribly chapped, near bleeding" lips - which is what I was looking for.

These go on smoothly and last a pretty long time. Unfortunately, well not really, I kiss my boyfriend *a lot* so I needed something that would keep my lips colored for a while and not rub off on him. Price was also a factor.

These TintMarkers have fufilled everything I was looking for adequately. :)

This is what I have been searching for! I have it in Berry Bitten which is a pretty berry color. Not too bright and not too dark. The marker type applicator makes it super easy to apply. It is a stain that is perfect under gloss or lipstick. I almost think I should buy several right now because whenever I find something I really like it gets discontinued. I have previously bought Eyeko Fruity Felt Lip Pen in Rosey Nude. It didn't flow as easily and wasn't dark enough to suit me but the packaging is IDENTICAL to Mark.

I have this in Red Siren, which is a deep brownish-red on my lips. I love it! It goes on so evenly, and it doesn't dry out at all. There is a scent for me, it's a faint melon-ish smell. I put mark electrolights gloss over this, and it looks really good. Plus, the scent of the electrolights gloss overpowers the melon scent. I usually hate melon, but this scent is faint enough to where it wouldn't bother me. I just use the gloss on top because it looks great that way. Keeps the color even and moist-looking. :) I will definitely buy this over and over again. I'm not sure I'm too interested in any other colors, though. I really love this one a lot. Maybe I'll get a pinkish one later on, when it's time to repurchase Red Siren. EDIT: I should add that, like the reviewer above, I bought an Eyeko lip marker too. Kissinks are MUCH better.

I hate to be the odd woman out here...

I got this in pink tease. It's a great color, great staying power, light to no scent... But the applicator has something left to be desired.

This comes as a marker for your lips. Now I am not sure about anyone else, but mine is terribly dry. I barely get any product out of it because the tip is just so dry.

From the little product I COULD get out... I was highly pleased. Its a non drying lip stain that really does last and fades evenly over time. It's not a drying or strange gel formula, either. It has little to no taste or scent which is fabulous as most lip stains taste terrible.

From what I am reading below the dry tip must be just my marker, so I will repurchase and see what happens. As for now, I am trying to "recharge" the tip with some water. EDIT: IT was just my particular marker! I got a replacement and it's not one bit dry. I am now very pleased with this product, I am glad that I repurchased! I upped my original rating of 3 lippies to 4. I didn't give it 5 because of the possibility of drying out. So happy this worked out!

Ooh, love this. I have this in Red Siren, which is a deep dark red on GGG nc42 me. It does go on splotchy unless you have smooth lips, as others have said, so I took off a lippie. Other than that, it stays put, looks sexy and isn't drying at all!! Can't wait to try other colors! :)

I love this product! I have it in pink tease and red siren and I adore them both! They last for a really really really long time, even after eating, drinking, and kissing! They're great colors too! There's only 2 things that you really need to know, (1) exfoliate your lips or otherwise you'll get a blotch of color in the dry areas and (2) make sure you store the marker upside down so that all of the ink stays in the tip so that it doesn't appear to have dried out.

I have this in the pink, and red colors and I love them both. They are easy to apply, stay on awhile, and smell great. Looks better with lipgloss.

I own several of these "marker" type products (Eyeko, Sephora, Urban Decay) and this one is the cheapest and the best so far. As others have said, 'red siren' is really pretty, and lasts quite well. The berry shade is pretty, but is a little too purple on me...I've been using a brown stain underneath it to tone it down a notch. Not crazy about the pink shade that I have. But 'red siren' is a staple. Next time I buy, I'll get 3 or 4 of these to stock up! Exfoliation is definitely key with these, or you'll get blotches.

I will get this in other colors. I have Red Siren which is a brownish red on me. Stays all day and with the Glass Slicker over it, it is very comfortable. I love this stuff.

My tintmarker is in Red Siren. I absolutely love this product. The color lasts so long and looks great with a gloss on top of it. I have used a shimmery gold gloss for a beautiful effect. One word of advice- make sure your lips aren't chapped before you put it on or it will look funny. I always exfoliate before I wear it.

I bought this in berry bitten and pink tease. I love the berry bitten color on my lips, it's a soft natural purple w/berry. But it's waay to dry to wear alone, so I slide clear gloss over it. The pink tease, I gave that to my sis. because I hate the color, it looks too red on my lips and I wasn't looking for red, I was looking for pink. If you let the color dry on your lips, it'll last for a while but I can't take the pain of dried lips so I have to reapply twice a day. Kind of expensive too, at $6+tax a pop!

Overall very good but too dry and unmoisturizing.
