Korean lip tints are often a gateway to makeup for hesitant individuals, providing a fun and easy way to spice up your look. The range of colors and affordable pricing make it a staple in anyone’s makeup pouch.
Lip tints are a cute introduction into the world of beauty and a go-to product for any occasion, be it hot summer’s day or a post-break-up event. It’s a time capsule back to our dark past of unsure hands and crooked beginner strokes, also while being the future of makeup, replacing the classic lipstick with its improved formulas and wide selections.
Their new formulas also make it possible to create lip styles like gradient lips, full coverage lips, and diffused lips using the same products. From creating plumper-looking lips or a natural-looking flush, lip tints offer the perfect amount of versatility to your makeup bag. Korean lip tints have since seen a rise in sales during the pandemic due to the influence of Korean makeup trends and the need for long-lasting and transfer-proof lip products. The sheer volume of products in the market paired with their aesthetic advertising and unique packaging ensures the right tint for anyone.
