By Jhilmil D Saha @jhilmildsaha

The K-culture has taken over the entire world. Everyone is going gaga over South Korea, from K-pop to K-dramas to K-food. One thing that has been doing rounds for quite a while is K-beauty. The flawless skin-like makeup appeals to me in the K-beauty world without making it too loud. It looks effortless, classy, and pretty. They don’t do cakey bases or loud eye colours. Out of all the essential K-beauty products that they use, lip tints are trendy. Many famous celebrity makeup artists from South Korea have said that even if they don’t use anything while stepping out, they apply a lip tint after skincare, making a lot of difference.
