Step 01: Begin by applying a bright pink shade of lipstick on the centre of your lips. Pick a shade that suits your skin tone. You don’t want your final look to appear unnatural or tacky.

Step 02: Now, take a small brush and blend the lip colour outwards. Buff the edges, Korean girls keep it shiny and blurred to make it look natural. Remember: stained lips is what we are going for here.

Step 03: In order to achieve the glass lip effect you need to add a lot of shine to your lips. Pick a clear gloss or one that’s in a similar shade as your lipstick and apply carefully all over.

Step 04: Next, dab some more pigment on the centre of your lips. Spread it out a little using the tip of your ring finger for that smooth and naturally blurred look.

Tip: Avoid using any matte lipsticks or formulas as it will not give you the same look. Shiny, bright and glossy products will give the best results.
