Popsicle Tinted Lips Tutorial
This “popsicle tinted nude lip” look is often seen in Korean dramas, paired with natural makeup. The gradated effect creating the illusion of youthful smaller lips that have eaten a popsicle. Whilst this look may not be for everyone, applying a bit of colour to the inner area of a nude lip adds back colour to avoid looking completely washed out. You can also play around with different variations to this look – pinks, corals, and peaches all work well, but for photography purposes I chose a rosy/cherry stain.
Popsicle Tinted Lips Tutorial
1. Prep lips with a lightweight lip balm. I used MAYBELLINE Baby Lips Lip Balm “Protecting Berry” (NYFW Limited Edition).
2. Apply a lip stain to the inner semi-circle area of the bottom lip. I used BENEFIT Benetint.
3. Repeat on the upper lip, changing the direction of the wand you’re applying outwards.
4. Use a lip brush to apply your favourite nude lipstick around the edges of the popsicle tint. Don’t worry about harsh lines for now. I used BLOOM Lipstick “Nude”.
5. Press your lips together to blend the popsicle tint & nude lipstick- gently.
6. Voila! The key to this look is to avoid over-doing it for a natural finish. Avoid re-applying the tint until your lipstick has worn off, otherwise it may smear and ruin the look.

love it!! so pretty!
Ive been curious about how to do this since i’ve been seeing it a lot recently in the drams. thanks for the tutorial! =)
I have seen it a few times on k-pop singers and some Korean actresses but I guess I don’t like it mainly because they usually match it with foundation that are 2 shades lighter/pinker than their necks + circle lenses and an innocent expression that are a little bit too much for their actual ages…I could be biased though, since I usually just gave them a glance and switched to something else.
Hi Citrine, I agree this is a look that isn’t for everyone… Even for myself I still prefer wearing lip colours evenly on lips.
Great tute! I do love that look, and I guess I do it a subconsciously because I often run a little bit of foundation or concealor around the rim of my lips.
Hi Jen, I don’t know about you but I seem to have better luck with foundation/regular concealer around lips rather than lip concealer which can be drying. For reason I haven’t run into the problem where people say that foundation slips off lips due to the silicone content?
