Well, beauty lovers, it’s February. And you know what that means, finding the perfect look for Valentine's Day. Red lips are the staple of the season, but this year with a twist. Popular makeup artist, Mei Pang (@meicrosoft) took a new approach to this holiday beauty favorite. Pang posted a video to her million+ followers via TikTok showcasing a look with lip prints around her eyes and cheekbones.
Shortly after, her fans were begging in the comments for a tutorial, so she delivered a quick how-to. With over 2.7M likes and counting, Pang’s lip look has taken TikTok by storm and caught the attention of other makeup artists like Emma Norton (@emmanorts), who recreated the look.

A lesson on Lip Stick
All you need is a liquid lipstick in any color of your choosing, translucent setting powder, a brush, and plastic wrap. Yes, you’ll have to grab one of your utensils from the kitchen cabinet, but trust the process.
In Pang’s video, you apply a lot of lipstick onto your lips. Then you take a small strip of plastic wrap and press it down over the lipstick. And there you have it, a lipstick stamp unique to your lip shape. You can apply the stamp anywhere on your face and add as many as you want.
