While some of the major makeup trends from 2016 are making a comeback, there’s one trend we’re perfectly happy letting go: dry matte lips.
No more plastering on thick liquid lipsticks that sucked so much of the moisture from our poor lips that you could see every little patch and line. Instead, we’re embracing the blurred lip trend that’s already stolen the hearts Korean and Japanese beauty lovers.
The blurred lip look is best achieved with a stain that delivers a sheer color and dries down into a soft, velvet-y matte finish.
The best products that promise this diffused look have a formula with hydrating ingredients to combat any drying. Your pout will look smooth with a blotted color that looks like you just got kissed—a perfect romantic look for Valentine’s Day.
Keep scrolling to shop our picks for the best lip products to recreate this blurred lip trend, from K-Beauty brands like rom&nd to luxe designer ones like Prada.
