So apparently, blurred lips are back, and it’s all thanks to Nina Park. That’s the thing about makeup trends — they’re like a never-ending game of tag, with one look chasing the next. After liquid lipstick ruled the 2010s, we shifted to glossy, then glossy to blurred. Now, with Nina Park’s signature technique blowing up on TikTok, we’re all scrambling to recreate that soft, pillowy, effortless lip look. It’s basically the ultimate flex: minimal effort, maximal drama.
The blurred lip isn’t new — it’s a staple in East Asian makeup, where soft edges and highlighted centers create a voluminous, “lived-in” vibe. Nina’s version? She’s basically a lip wizard, using cool-toned liners and strategic blending to make lips look like they’re naturally swollen. The trick? Start with a liner that’s a shade darker than your natural lip color, then gently blur the edges with a brush or finger. Focus the color on your cupid’s bow (top lip) and center (bottom lip) to draw the eye upward and downward, tricking the brain into thinking your lips are juicier than they are. Pro tip: Use a cool-toned liner to feather the edges, creating a subtle shadow that makes lips appear bigger. It’s like a contour for your lips, but with more glitter.
Want to skip the steps? There are hacks. Sunnie’s Face Fluff Balm or Violette Fr’s Bisou Balm give sheer, matte coverage that mimics the blurred effect without all the prep. But if you’re going full Nina Park, invest in a cool-toned liner (think this collection) and a lighter lipstick for the center. Violette Fr’s lip stains or Rom &nd’s Water Tints are my go-tos — they add a pop of color that’s basically a highlighter for your lips.
Prep your lips with a balm or scrub first, then layer the liner and lipstick. The key is blending, not precision. You want that effortless look, not a raccoon mask. And honestly, the result? Strangers will probably ask, “What’s the lip combo???” which is basically the ultimate compliment.
