3CE’s Velvet Lip Tint is one of the best Korean lip tint collections we have been recommending since forever. This highly coveted lip tint is designed by 3CE as an oil-packed lip product, featuring a sherbet-like texture that gently melts on the lips for a natural, smudge-proof tinge with a matte finish. Super chic and easy to blend with excellent color playoff and swoon-worthy pigments that will make your lips extra kissable for the mistletoe season.

Must-Know Lip Care Tips for Winter:
Wear a very light layer of lip balm with DHC’s Lip Cream as a pre-makeup prep to moisturize your lips, then apply the 3CE Velvet Lip Tint at the center of your lips then lightly press your lips together and pat the color with your ring finger to distribute it outwards for the perfect gradient lip makeup look.

peripera is also one of our most-favorite Korean brands that we have not praised enough when it comes to stunning lip products with a range of seasonal, chic pigments. Born as the fancy sister of peripera’s Ink Velvet Tint series, the Ink Airy Velvet Tint collection features a range of velvety-smooth lip tint, all enriched with mango oil and green tea seed oil to nourish and contour your lips with a super-hydrating, mask-proof finish.

Best Lip Care Routine for Winter:
Applying lip products on chapped, dry lips does not end well for your lip makeup. That’s why, for your lip care routine, you should first prep your lips with a hydrating lip patch. We highly recommend PUREDERM’s Intensive Lip Care Gel Patch as your last-minute remedy if you happen to have one of those busy days. Just leave it on for 15-20 minutes. Then, slightly buff your lips and apply peripera’s Ink Airy Velvet Tint for smoother finish.
