Hues Queen Glaze Craze Tinted Lip Serum ✅ Description

This lip product is a hybrid between a lip-serum (treatment) and a lip-gloss/tint. The brand (LANEIGE, a Korean skincare-makeup brand) has positioned it as a “tinted lip serum” that provides nourishing skincare benefits plus colour and shine.

Key features:

Infused with skin-care ingredients: polypeptides, argan ceramides, polyglutamic acid (PGA) for moisture, barrier repair and plumping.

Claims: 12 hours of hydration, buildable colour, high-shine glazed finish.

Fun “donut-inspired” or cushiony applicator design.

📦 Format

Size: Typically ~12 g / ~0.42 oz.

Packaging: Tube with a soft, rounded “donut-style” (or cushion) applicator tip for smooth application.

Shades: Multiple playful shades with names like Sugar Glaze, Cinnamon Sugar, Chocolate Frosting, Peach Glaze, Blueberry Jelly, Strawberry Sprinkles.

Finish: Glossy / glazed effect, more than a flat tint. Lightweight feel.

🎨 Sensory Profile

Appearance & Colour:

The colours are sheer to semi-buildable tints rather than full opaque lipstick.

For example the shade “Cinnamon Sugar” is described as a mauve pink.

The finish is shiny/glaze-like—lips will appear glossy and luminous rather than matte.

Texture & Feel:

Feels lightweight, comfortable, not overly sticky (though some users note gloss‐like feel).

The applicator gives a soft sensation; reported as “plush” by users.

Aroma / Experience:

There is mention of subtle bakery or sweet scents (for example the “donut-inspired” naming and product commentary). > “Smells like legit cake.”

Because it is skincare-infused, there is also the “serum” feel: more comfort and treatment than a typical gloss.

👗 Wears & Suggestions

When to wear:

Ideal for everyday wear when you want a bit of colour but still want comfort and hydration.

Good for times when you want the look of a gloss (shine) but also care for your lips—travel, work, casual outings.

Because of the glossy nature, you can also use it for evenings, especially if you like a “juicy lip” look instead of a flat matte.

How to wear / styling tips:

Apply it alone: one swipe gives a sheer glazed tint. Two or more layers build more colour.

Use over a lipstick: For more depth, apply a matte or coloured lip base, then top with this serum for shine + moisture.

Choose the shade according to your skin tone:

If you have deeper skin tones, shades like “Chocolate Frosting” might show up more richly.

On lighter skin tones, sheer shades like “Sugar Glaze” might act as a nude gloss.

Pair with minimal eye makeup if you want the lip to be the focus. For a full warm-toned look, use warm bronze or nude eyes + this gloss.

Outfit/Occasion matching:

Because the product has a glossy finish and warm/neutral shades, it pairs nicely with autumn/winter tones: camel, olive, rust, chocolate.

For a more polished look: simple liner + this gloss for subtle glamour.

For status: Because it is skincare-infused, you can treat it like a lip treatment during the day and add it into your routine as both makeup + care.

🛠 Helpful Tips

Before applying:

Exfoliate your lips if you have dry or flaky lips—glossy finishes tend to highlight texture.

Use a lip balm if your lips are very dry as base.

Application tips:

Use the applicator tip to gently glide the product across your lips; you can dab extra in the centre for more shine.

If you have pigmented lips, you might need more than one coat to see the tint.

For clean edges, you can use a lip liner first.

Re-application / maintenance:

Because it is glossy, it may transfer easily (onto cups, etc). Reapply after eating/drinking if you want the shine to remain.

At night, remove thoroughly (especially because of the active skincare ingredients) to avoid pigment or residue build-up.

Storage & care:

Keep the tube upright if possible. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat (especially for us in Lagos where heat/humidity are high).

Make sure the cap is tightly secured to prevent drying out or leakage.

Choosing the shade:

View swatches if possible (on your skin tone or lip tone) because the finish is sheer and will depend on your natural lip colour.

If you want more visible colour, go for the darker/warmer shades; if you want more subtle gloss, pick the lighter/nude hues.

Potential caveats:

Though it has treatment benefits, it is still a gloss/tint; if you want high pigment matte performance, this may not deliver that level.

Some users mention the wear time isn’t extremely long (they still like it, but it’s not like a long-wear matte lipstick). > “Wear is not so great but we need it?”

If you’re very sensitive to fragrance, check the ingredient list since there is a “fragrance / parfum” component.
