K-beauty never fails to surprise, and the latest viral trend, “blurred lips,” proves it. This technique, all over TikTok right now, gives your lips a plumper look without fillers or needles, using just a few steps with minimal products. Here’s how to recreate this soft-focus pout at home:
Smooth and Hydrate
A smooth base is essential. Use a gentle lip exfoliator to remove dry, flaky skin, then apply a hydrating lip balm and let it absorb. Lightly blot if needed before moving to the next step.
Soften the Edges
Blurred lips are all about a diffused edge. Dab a small amount of concealer around the outer lip line to soften it, or lightly blend foundation over the edges with a sponge. Tap with your finger to ensure a seamless blend into your skin.
Add a Tint
Choose a tinted balm or sheer lipstick in a soft red, coral, or berry tone. Apply a small amount to the center of your top and bottom lips, then gently blend outwards with your fingertip to create that soft, diffused finish.
Lock It In (Optional)
To prevent color from moving, dust a bit of translucent powder around the outer lip area with a small brush. You can also tap a touch of powder blush onto the center of your lips to set the tint. For a subtle plumping effect, add a tiny dab of gloss to the middle of your lips.
This approach ensures you get a fuller, softer lip look without harsh lines or heavy layering, perfect for daily wear and easy to adapt with your favorite shades.
