Peripera Ink The Velvet Lip Tint
Our Peripera Ink The Velvet transforms your lips with a soft, velvety matte finish that feels as light as air. This award-winning lip tint delivers intensely pigmented color in one smooth swipe, blurring lip lines for a naturally flawless look.
The mousse-like texture glides effortlessly without tugging or drying, setting to a transfer-resistant finish that lasts through meals and conversations. We formulated this cult-favorite tint with Color Catch System technology to lock vibrant pigments onto lips while maintaining all-day comfort.
Ink The Velvet details
Formula & Finish
The peripera ink the velvet formula balances bold pigmentation with weightless wear through our proprietary mousse technology. Unlike traditional liquid lipsticks that can feel heavy or sticky, this tint sets to a soft matte finish that moves naturally with your lips.
Our Color Catch System binds pigments to the lip surface without forming a thick film, so you get vibrant color without the mask-like feel. The result is a second-skin finish that stays put through coffee breaks and lunch meetings while keeping lips comfortable for hours. Each shade is carefully calibrated to deliver true-to-tube color in just one layer, though you can build intensity with additional swipes for evening looks.
Application & Wear
Getting The Perfect Application
Start with smooth, moisturized lips for the most even application. Our precision doe-foot applicator picks up the perfect amount of product—wipe off any excess on the tube rim before applying. Outline your lip line first, then fill in the center with gentle sweeping motions.
The tint remains workable for about 10-15 seconds after application, giving you time to blend edges with a fingertip or lip brush if desired. Once set, the formula becomes transfer-resistant and locks color in place for 8-10 hours of wear. We recommend allowing the tint to dry completely (about 30 seconds) before pressing your lips together to prevent uneven settling.

Your Ink The Velvet Questions
The tint typically lasts 8-10 hours with normal wear, staying transfer-resistant through meals and drinks. Most people find they only need one light touch-up after eating oily or heavily sauced foods. The color gradually fades evenly throughout the day rather than patching or flaking, so your lips maintain a natural stained look even as wear time extends.
Our Ink The Velvet formula is designed to deliver matte color without the drying sensation of traditional liquid lipsticks. The lightweight mousse texture sets to a soft velvet finish that doesn't pull moisture from lips.
For the most comfortable wear, we recommend applying lip balm 10 minutes before using the tint, then blotting away excess before color application. This creates a smooth base while maintaining the formula's long-lasting properties.
Ink The Velvet delivers our signature soft matte finish with high color intensity and blur effect. The formula creates a velvety texture that feels lightweight while providing full opacity in one swipe.
For comparison, our Ink Velvet lip tint offerings include variations with different finish textures—the Airy Velvet line offers an even more diffused, cloud-like matte for those who prefer sheerer, buildable color with an ultra-soft feel.
For best results, apply the peripera ink the velvet tint directly to clean, bare lips. Layering over balms or glosses can interfere with the formula's ability to set properly and may cause uneven wear or reduced longevity.
If you want added dimension, you can layer a small amount of clear gloss on the center of your lips after the tint has fully dried. This creates a subtle gradient effect while maintaining the velvet finish on the outer lip areas.
Our most universally flattering everyday shades include 006 Celeb Deep Rose (dusty rose), 004 Loveholic (warm peachy-nude), and 008 Soul Pink (soft mauve-pink). These tones complement most skin undertones and work seamlessly with both casual and professional looks.
For warmer skin tones, shades 005 and 011 offer beautiful coral-based nudes. Cooler skin tones often gravitate toward 003 or 009 for pink-based natural looks. We recommend reviewing swatches across our full shade range to find your perfect match.
Start with smooth, exfoliated lips to minimize texture. Apply a hydrating lip balm 10-15 minutes before using the tint, then gently blot away any excess oil or waxy residue.
When applying Ink The Velvet, use light, sweeping motions rather than pressing the applicator hard against your lips. This allows the mousse formula to glide over texture rather than settling into it. The tint's blur technology helps diffuse the appearance of fine lines, but proper lip prep ensures the smoothest finish.
Yes, once fully set (about 30-60 seconds after application), the formula becomes highly transfer-resistant. You can drink from cups, eat meals, and go about your day without leaving color marks on glassware or masks.
Very oily foods or vigorous rubbing may cause some slight fading, but the tint leaves behind a natural stain rather than disappearing completely. This means your lips maintain color even if the top layer transfers slightly, eliminating the need for constant mirror checks throughout the day.
