CANMAKE Lip Tint Guide: Muchi Puru Tint, Sheer Balm and Glass Tint Syrup Compared

CANMAKE lip tints combine long-lasting colour with the glossy, plumped-up look that Japanese makeup is known for. Right now, CANMAKE sells three products it describes as tints: Muchi Puru Tint, the new Muchi Puru Tint Sheer Balm and Glass Tint Syrup. Many guides still recommend older CANMAKE tints that are no longer sold, and reviews of the current ones can be mixed, so it helps to know exactly what each one does.

This guide compares every CANMAKE lip tint currently on sale, based on CANMAKE’s official product pages.

What you’ll learn in this article:

• How the three current CANMAKE lip tints compare, in one table
• The shades, finish, price in Japan and moisturising ingredients of each tint
• How to choose the right tint for the colour and shine you want
• How to prep your lips so tint doesn’t settle into lines
• Answers to common questions about wear, the cooling feel and discontinued tints

CANMAKE Lip Tint at a Glance

Two of CANMAKE’s tints are twist-up or click-up sticks, and one is a liquid tint with an applicator. All three are designed to make lips look fuller and glossier while the colour lasts.

Every CANMAKE Lip Tint Explained

Muchi Puru Tint

Price in Japan	¥770
Format	Twist-up stick
Finish	Glossy, buildable colour
Shades	7

• Fragrance-free
• Paraben-free
• Alcohol-free
• Silicone-free

Muchi Puru Tint is CANMAKE’s best-known tint. It melts onto the lips with a syrupy gloss, and its plumping effect helps hide vertical lip lines for a fuller look. The colour is bright enough to lift your whole complexion, yet you can adjust the intensity by adding layers, and the tint formula is designed to make the colour last. It has a refreshing cooling feel.

CANMAKE says it is moisturising enough that you won’t need a lip balm underneath. It contains six moisturising ingredients: petrolatum, hyaluronic acid, collagen, argan oil, honey and shea butter. The shades are 02 Peach, 03 Wine Berry, 05 Fig Puree, 06 Raspberry Cake, 07 Fruit Au Lait and 08 Sakura Roll, plus a 40th-anniversary shade, 40thx Strawberry Bonbon.

Don’t twist up too much. The tint is very soft, and CANMAKE warns that it can’t be twisted back down once it’s up. Twist out only about 1 mm and apply slowly and gently.

Muchi Puru Tint ～Sheer Balm～

Price in Japan	¥880
Format	Click-up stick
Finish	Sheer, glossy colour
Shades	3 (S01, S02, S03)

• Fragrance-free
• Paraben-free
• Alcohol-free

Sheer Balm is the newest member of the Muchi Puru family: the same plumping, cooling tint in a sheer version. The colour melts into the lips for a natural, rosy look, and a melting oil that softens with body heat plus a rich oil give a glossy, hydrated finish, so you don’t need a separate gloss. The tint formula is designed for colour that lasts.

It comes in a click-up case you can use with one hand; when you first use it, click the button at the back about 10 times until the balm appears. Like the original, it can’t be retracted, so click out only about 1 mm at a time. It contains ten moisturising ingredients, including petrolatum, sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed collagen, argan oil, honey and shea butter. The shades are S01 Apricot Sorbet, a versatile coral, S02 Ichigo Shake and S03 Apple Tea.

Glass Tint Syrup

Price in Japan	¥1,078
Format	Liquid with droplet-shaped applicator
Finish	Glass-like shine, sheer colour
Shades	3 (04, 05, 40th)

• Paraben-free
• Alcohol-free

Glass Tint Syrup is a liquid tint that coats the lips in a shine like a glass bead. Its sheer colour adds a rosy glow that corrects your natural lip colour, and the glossy coating makes vertical lip lines less noticeable. CANMAKE says the tint clings to the lips, stays in place even after drinking and is designed to resist transferring onto masks.

The droplet-shaped applicator picks up just the right amount, and its tapered tip makes it easy to follow the edge of your lips. It contains five moisturising ingredients: allantoin, ceramide NP, niacinamide, retinol and centella asiatica extract. The shades are 04 Blissful Pink, a bright bluish pink, 05 Lively Peach and 40th Memorable Pink Red, which contains pearl.

How to Choose a CANMAKE Lip Tint

If you want noticeable colour, choose Muchi Puru Tint: it is the most pigmented of the three and can be built up with extra layers. If you prefer a subtle, “my lips but better” look, Sheer Balm gives a sheer tint with a glossy, balm-like finish. Both have a cooling feel and a plumping effect.

For the most shine, choose Glass Tint Syrup. Its liquid formula gives a glass-like gloss with sheer colour, and it is the one CANMAKE describes as staying in place after drinking and resisting transfer onto masks. It also has no cooling feel mentioned, which may suit you if you don’t like a tingling sensation.

How to Apply CANMAKE Lip Tint

Prep your lips first. Sheer, glossy tints go on more evenly over smooth, moisturised lips. CANMAKE’s Plump Lip Care Scrub (¥594) uses a sugar scrub that melts on your lips to remove old, hard skin, with no need to rinse it off; CANMAKE advises not to rub too hard. For extra moisture, Mellow Dew Lip Mask (¥792) can be applied in a thin layer as a daytime lip primer, and CANMAKE says it helps your lip makeup last.

1. For full colour: twist or click out about 1 mm of Muchi Puru Tint or Sheer Balm and apply slowly and gently across the lips, adding layers if you want more colour. With Glass Tint Syrup, use the tapered tip to follow the edge of your lips.
2. For a gradient lip: apply the tint to the centre of your lips only, then blend it outwards so the colour fades towards the edges.
3. For extra shine: CANMAKE’s Mellow Dew Lip Essence (¥638) can be layered over lip colour as a gloss.

Where to Buy CANMAKE Lip Tint

kachicollect is the simplest way to get CANMAKE lip tint from Japan. Our catalog has no proxy fees, and duties are shown in your total before you pay, so nothing extra is charged on delivery. Orders ship worldwide with tracking and usually arrive in about 7 to 14 days.

CANMAKE updates its shades regularly, so marketplaces such as eBay also list discontinued tints and older shades. If you want something from the current range, check the name and shade against the lists above before you buy.

Proxy services that buy from Japanese stores on your behalf are another option, but the service fee they advertise is only the starting point, and various other charges are added on top by the time you check out. For any tint or shade you can’t find in our catalog, kachicollect’s purchase request works like a proxy without the fees: paste the product URL from any Japanese store or marketplace and you get an instant quote.

Want a matching flush? CANMAKE’s Cream Cheek (Clear Type) works on both cheeks and lips; see our CANMAKE blush guide.

FAQ

Does CANMAKE lip tint last through eating and drinking?

All three use a tint formula designed for long-lasting colour. Glass Tint Syrup is the one CANMAKE specifically says stays in place after drinking and resists transferring onto masks. CANMAKE doesn’t make eating claims for any of them, so expect to top up the gloss after meals.

Is CANMAKE lip tint drying, and why does it settle into lip lines?

CANMAKE describes all three as moisturising: Muchi Puru Tint and Glass Tint Syrup are designed so you won’t need lip balm, and Sheer Balm contains ten moisturising ingredients. If tint collects in lines or looks patchy, dry or flaky lips can be the cause, so try prepping with Plump Lip Care Scrub and a thin layer of Mellow Dew Lip Mask before applying.

Why does Muchi Puru Tint feel cool?

Both Muchi Puru Tint and Sheer Balm are formulated to have a refreshing cooling sensation. For Sheer Balm, CANMAKE notes that you may feel a slight tingle, and advises wiping it off and rinsing right away if you feel strong irritation the first time you use it. If you don’t like a cooling feel, Glass Tint Syrup is the option without one mentioned.

Is CANMAKE lip tint OK for sensitive lips?

All three are free from parabens and alcohol, and the two Muchi Puru tints are also fragrance-free. Because the Muchi Puru tints have a cooling feel, they may tingle on sensitive lips; stop using any product that causes irritation.

What happened to Juicy Lip Tint and Melty Luminous Rouge?

Both are no longer part of CANMAKE’s current Japanese line-up: their product pages have been removed from the official site, although some overseas retailers still sell Juicy Lip Tint. Some older Muchi Puru Tint shades, such as 01 Butterscotch, are no longer listed either. If you liked a sheer tint that lasts through drinks, Glass Tint Syrup is the current alternative; for a glossy, moisturising tint, try Muchi Puru Tint or Sheer Balm.

How long does CANMAKE lip tint last once opened?

CANMAKE doesn’t list a shelf life after opening on its product pages. Under Japanese rules, cosmetics that stay stable for more than three years after manufacture don’t need to show an expiry date, which is why most Japanese lip products don’t carry one. Close the cap after each use and stop using any product whose smell or texture changes.

Conclusion: The Right CANMAKE Lip Tint for You

Choose Muchi Puru Tint for juicy, buildable colour with a plumping, cooling feel, and Sheer Balm if you want the same comfort with a softer, sheer flush. For glass-like shine that stays put through drinks, Glass Tint Syrup is the pick. Whichever you choose, smooth, moisturised lips make any tint look better.

Buying from kachicollect gets you CANMAKE lip tint shipped directly from Japan, with no proxy fees and duties shown before you pay.
