Korean lips are all about adding a subtle and natural-looking flush of colour to the lips. Aimed at giving a refreshing pop of color to the lips, the Korean lip makeup trend is characterized by a natural, soft, and plump appearance. It is especially known for its color gradient and hydrated finish that focuses on gentle contouring and gives off a translucent tint of color. 

What Makes Korean Lips So Iconic? 

While many may assume that the Korean Lips are a fad only among K-pop fans, that is not really true. This Korean lip makeup has created a buzz among beauty enthusiasts and influencers alike for its ombre effect that adds depth to the lips, all while being delicate. It is an understated and sophisticated effect that makes the natural Korean lips a standout and a favourite amongst makeup professionals and enthusiasts alike. 

How To Do Korean Lips Makeup?

Start with Exfoliation

The essence of Korean Lip makeup is to embrace natural healthy lip texture. That is exactly why exfoliation of lips is one of the first steps to ace the look. So, before you start with the Korean lips look, gently scrub and massage your lips well. This helps remove dead skin and prepares your lips for a soft and plump pout. 

Skin Prep For Hydration

Prepping your skin is a key step for acing the Korean lips makeup. Applying a hydrating and tinted balm like Marshmallow Fluff, nourishes the delicate skin, leaving it plump and protected with added sun protection of SPF 22.   

Apply a Neutralising Base

In case of any pigmentation or discolouration, it is best to apply a little bit of concealer on the lips to even out the colour. Just dab a little bit of the Concealer Cameo (in a shade that matches your skin tone) over the lips (especially the outer area) and blend with fingers.

Pick a Nude Pink Lip Color

So now that the prep is done, are you wondering how to get Korean lips?
Well, you simply have to pick a soft nude pink matte colour like our Meetha Jaljeera (A Mauve Pink shade) and apply it to the inner part of the lip. Blend the colour in a way that it gives a faded or ombre effect to the lips.

Seal the Look with Gloss

The trick to getting super glossy and cute Korean lips is to pick the right lip oil in a shade that complements your skin tone. If you have a warm skin tone, pick a shade like the Brown Berry. If you have a neutral skin tone, go for the Raspberry Rose lip oil shade and for those with cool skin tones, Cherryccino is a good pick. This step will help add a natural feel to your  Korean lip tint look.

And there you have a closer look at the new fad in beauty town! Korean lips are luscious and add radiance to any makeup look instantly. We hope this simple and easy guide on how to make Korean lips inspires you to re-create the look yourself.
