about Lipstick.
The Korean lip is soft at the edge and juicy in the center, and these sticks and balms get you there without a lip brush. The rom&nd Glasting Melting Balm melts into a glossy, dewy veil of color, the tiptoe Jelly Stick turns to a glass-like shine on lips and cheeks alike, and the Etude House Fixing Tint Bar sets to a rich hydro-matte that stays put.
Dry or thin lips are happiest in a melting balm; bolder color comes from the powdery and matte bars; and a color-and-liner pencil gives a fuller shape that still looks like yours. With any of them, color that is deeper at the center and soft at the edge gives that blurred, just-bitten look.
questions, answered.
How do I get the blurred Korean lip?
Apply color to the center of your lips and press it outward with a fingertip, leaving the edge softer than the middle. A lip bar that sets, like the Etude House Fixing Tint Bar, holds the gradient without smudging, and two thin layers last better than one thick one. If you have drawn a hard line, a clean fingertip takes it back down.
Which Korean lipstick is best for dry lips?
Reach for a melting balm. The PINATE Bare Glow Peptide Melting Balm is made for thin, dry lips and locks moisture in under a pearly shine, and the MARY & MAY Blooming Glow Lip hydrates with a high gloss and no stickiness. If you prefer matte, the TOCOBO Powder Cream Lip Balm sets velvety on top and stays moist underneath.
How do I overline my lips for a fuller look?
Use a liner a shade deeper than your color and trace just outside your natural line at the center of the top and bottom lip, then fill in and blend the two together. The colorgram All In One Overlip Maker puts a color pencil and a brown contour liner in one, so the plumped shape still looks like your own lips.
