Gradient lips are a makeup trend that swept across Korea, but many may find it a difficult look to master without lip product looking messy or dry. Find out if the TONYMOLY Delight Bam Bam Lip Tint creates a pretty gradient lip with ease in our K-beauty review. Watch our video review below!
Description + Packaging
This TONYMOLY Delight Bam Bam Lip Tint has dual sides - one comes with a nifty "ink-pad applicator" (it looks like a cushiony sponge) that provides color with a matte finish and the other is a fragrant, colorless lip balm.
Application
First, you apply the lip color in the center of the lips. The most effective way to do this is to open your mouth and pat the applicator to the inside edge of your lips. Blend lip color by pushing lips against each other (see video). Then, apply the lip balm side to the outside edge of your lips. Blend in the same way.
Tip: if you want the gradient lips trend to be even more pronounced, pull lips in and apply concealer around outside edges of lips. Blend well with patting motion of finger (see video).
Results
I got the TONYMOLY Delight Bam Bam Lip Tint in the shade #05 Rosy Red and the color was gorgeous and very pigmented. It felt very dry before the lip balm, but the balm creates a moisturizing, smooth finish to the product. It requires reapplication after eating but overall the length of wear was impressive.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Easy to use once you know how to get the look you want, pigmented, nice smell, moisturizing balm
Cons: Requires reapplication after a while, lip tint on its own can be drying due to matte texture
