Like all good K-beauty trends, this shiny lip look is about having saturated lips with an ultra-glossy finish. It’s all about layering lipstick with a lip tint, gloss or lip oil to get this look. You might think it’s a lot of layers, but the finished result is so gorgeous - and it only takes a minute.
Like all glossy lip looks, it does take commitment to wear the Tanghulu lip trend all day. You have to retouch glossy lip looks, where a clear gloss topper is invaluable - no mirror is required. Here are our favourite beauty buys to get the look.
The Liner
From nude to the perfect colour match to complement a lipstick shade. Laying down a lip pencil under lipstick and gloss, helps to keep colour in place and from it travelling into fine lines.
The lipstick
Pinks, peaches, reds, and flattering nudes are all on trend in colour. To layer this look, apply lippy after the lip pencil, then layer on a super shiny gloss.
MAC Lustreglass Sheer-Shine Lipstick, in Syrup, $48. Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in 90’s Pink, $53. Estée Lauder Pure Color Explicit Shine Slim Lipstick, in Adrenaline Rush, $82. Clinique Pop Longwear Lipstick Shine, in Melon Pop, $54.
The gloss
These clear glosses instantly plump the lips, thanks to ingredients such as making the perfect gloss toppers to get the Tanghulu makeup look.
Here’s why it’s a summer essential.
