K-beauty's “Blurred Lips” technique has taken over social media, offering the illusion of fuller, softer lips—without injections or invasive treatments. It’s effortless, effective, and requires minimal products. Here’s how to master it in four simple steps: Step 1: Prep Exfoliate dry lips using a gentle scrub, then apply a moisturizing balm. For best results, leave the balm on briefly as a hydrating mask before proceeding. Step 2: Blur the Edges Skip the sharp outlines—use a dab of concealer or foundation to soften the lip edges. Blend it with your finger for a natural, diffused effect. This step neutralizes the natural lip line, helping the color fade seamlessly. Step 3: Tint the Center Apply a drop of lip tint or lightly pigmented balm (think cherry, raspberry, or guava hues) to the center of your top and bottom lips. Blend outward with your finger, building subtle intensity while keeping the perimeter soft and faded. Step 4: Optional Seal To enhance longevity, lightly dab loose powder or powder blush in the center. A dab of gloss can be added, but only at the center, preserving the blurred effect while subtly boosting dimension(VOGUE, 2025. 7. 1). |
