If you’ve been watching K-dramas on Netflix, you’ve probably seen the lip tint trend going around. Lip tints have been (and always are) popular in Korea due to its long-lasting colour and light, comfortable application.
Unlike traditional lipsticks that require slightly more maintenance, lip tints also allow you to create gradient lips based on the amount of coverage.
Below, we pick the best lip tints to shop now:
