6 K-Beauty Products To Help You Achieve The Viral "Tanghulu Lips"

Do you know what is the latest K-Beauty trend taking over the world? It is none other than "tanghulu lips"!
After the sweet candied fruit snack went viral last year, beauty enthusiasts in Korea took to creating this look or, rather, rebranding an existing lip look in this way, true to the trend of food-related looks like "strawberry makeup", "latte makeup", and so on.
So, what is the "tanghulu lips" look, you ask?
Just like tanghulu looks glossy, shiny, and juicy because of the hardened sugar coating on fruits, the "tanghulu lips" look aims for a similar high-shine, glowy, and bouncy appearance.

The main principle behind the "tanghulu lips" is a flush of color and a layer of gloss.
You can achieve this look with multiple products or even just one single product, depending on the texture and consistency you prefer.
Similarly, while Koreans are mostly going for the "strawberry tanghulu" look, it's not necessarily the only option you have.
The strawberry tanghulu look can be too bright for you or could wash you out, depending on your skin's undertone. I personally opt for a darker berry shade.
So, instead of recommending products with specific shades, I'll recommend some products below that worked for me in terms of formula, feel, and achieving the desired result, and you can pick the shade that best suits you!
Then, take a look at these K-Beauty products that can help you achieve "tanghulu lips" easily at home!
💋 The Jang WonYoung Combo - rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint + rom&nd Glasting Water Gloss
rom&nd
This lip combo has gone viral time and time again for achieving the "doll lips" look that IVE's Jang WonYoung is famous for. However, this same exact lip combo also works for creating the "tanghulu lips" because the Juicy Lasting Tint offers the perfect touch of color that's neither too overwhelming nor too subtle, and the Glasting Water Gloss adds a plumping, sparkly juiciness to the lips.
Buy rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint here and rom&nd Glasting Water Gloss here.
💋 fwee 3D Voluming Gloss + fwee 3D Changing Gloss
Olive Young
fwee is one of the hottest K-Beauty brands going viral right now. So, if you've been looking for a new K-Beauty lip product, you do not want to miss out on fwee. The 3D Voluming Gloss is extremely comfortable on the lips without feeling sticky and gives the lips volume without the sting of lip plumpers. The shade range is impressive and you can choose between 30% tint or 70% tint for each shade, based on your preference.

While you can use the fwee 3D Voluming Gloss by itself, you can amplify the "tanghulu" look by maximizing the gloss layer with the fwee 3D Changing Gloss. Even real tanghulu wouldn't look as shiny as your lips with this product.

💋 Amuse Bebe Tint
Amuse's Instagram
Amuse is an extremely popular K-Beauty brand in Korea. The Amuse Bebe Tint, is the perfect product for achieving the "tanghulu lips", especially if you're looking to do so with one product only.
Amuse's Instagram
The Amuse Bebe Tint is described as a hydrating lip oil tint that creates a healthy tinted glow while nourishing and caring for your lips. It comes in 8 shades, with choices for warm, cool, and neutral undertones, so there should be something for everyone.
Peripera has garnered as much love and attention overseas as it has in Korea. This recommendation list would not be complete without the viral Peripera Ink Mood Glowy Balm.
As the name suggests, this is a balmy product with tint, so you get the color, the shine, and the care - all in the same product! The melted texture of the balm looks gorgeous and juicy but never feels heavy on the lips, even if you keep retouching. The tint lasts for a long time and never disappoints.
So, there you have it! Those are our recommended K-Beauty products for getting "tanghulu lips". You can also mix and match the products mentioned above. For instance, if you have the rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint and the fwee 3D Changing Gloss, it's totally fine to create a combo using those two products, and you'll still achieve your "tanghulu lips".
Similarly, if you own a lip product that's not mentioned above but falls in the same category (that is, lip tint, lip balm, or gloss), that works perfectly fine too!
Just take the recommendations as a guide, and don't be afraid to experiment!
After all, it's all about having fun!
