April has been quite the month for K-Pop comebacks and debuts within the music scene. There are heavy hitters at every corner, constantly battling for the top spot on the charts. But if there's one group who remains a consistent force within the music scene, it's WOOAH. They're a group who's not limited by any means, exceling in a number of different styles showcasing their flexibility as artists.

The five member girl group recently made a comeback after about a year and a half with the single release, 'BLUSH'. Compared to the typical, energetic K-Pop dance track of 'Rollercoaster', 'BLUSH' offers more of an easygoing, laidback listen that you can have on loop for hours on end. It's not the first time woo!ah! has decided to switch things up, fully demonstrating their ability to mold to any genre.

They're a girl group that's shown constant improvement since debut, with the potential to trend even higher as their career moves forward.

 

Talented Since Pre-Debut

The members of WOOAH put in the years and hard work to stand where they are today. Even prior to their official debut and group formation, they were actively posting on their official YouTube channel, portraying their lives as trainees. Through these short videos, fans were able to discover that the members were incredibly talented, equipped with the vocals, rap skills, and dance proficiency needed to stand on stage and perform under the title of 'idol'.

When it was time for the girls to finally make their first appearance on music show stages, they showed a completely different image from what we see today. A mixture of girl crush, hip-hop, and bubblegum K-Pop, WOOAH set out to grab hold of the K-Pop world with their self-titled debut track. This would mark their first step into the music industry and with fiery determination and unwavering conviction, they made a statement early fans could never forget. This laid the foundation of what's to come, and with their array of talents, early wow! were certain that WOOAH would soon embark on an upward trajectory.

 

A Girl Group Of Many Talents

When it comes to individual skill, WOOAH has it in spades. They compliment each other perfectly, however, it's their individual talents that make them such a formidable girl group in the K-Pop industry. And the members aren't afraid to showcase their talent either with either original tracks, cover songs, and dance practice videos. All these, and more, can be seen via their official YouTube channel where WOOAH has multiple examples of their never-ending talent.

When you have a group that utilizes NaNa's impeccable dancing prowess, WooYeon's refreshing vocals, Sora's serotonin-like presence, Lucy's addictive rap skills, and MinSeo's cider-like high notes, you can be certain you'll have a recipe for success. They've shown incredible presence outside of group activities that make them a group netizens should definitely be keeping track of. Their ability to come together, combine their strengths, and present various stages that speak to their high level of execution and skill surprise countless individuals in the K-Pop community, making many believe that it's only a matter of time before they eventually rise to the top.

 

WOOAH Among The Trends

Despite the tough competition among girl groups, WOOAH continue to set their own pace and remain a constant presence within the K-Pop industry. Netizens don't let up on showering the girl group with immense praise, retaining interest towards them since their comeback. Fans have been fervent in offering the girls their unlimited support, advocating for even more people to listen to their comeback. But it's not just limited to 'BLUSH', as any song by WOOAH will certainly pull you in, causing you to become a dedicated supporter.

The interest over time towards the girl group shows that they're able to capture the attention of netizens when the time calls for it, being able to slay music show stages and captivate audiences in the process. Now, fans are hoping for more frequent releases in order to showcase the sheer talent the girls have and hopefully keep them trending for a much longer period of time.

The path to success hasn't been an easy one for WOOAH but their vitamin-like nature allows them to act as a bright shining light, towards both fans and non-fans alike.

How long have you been following the girl group? What do you like about them?

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

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.

💋 fwee 3D Voluming Gloss + fwee 3D Changing Gloss

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 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.

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 Ink Mood Glowy Balm

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.

This is truly a must-have product.

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!
