PEEL-OFF MAKEUP
At STITCH, we are always on the lookout for the beauty industry’s latest and greatest. So we were intrigued when the most recent in innovative beauty products popped up on our Instagram feeds: peel-off makeup.
These tints originally came from South Korea. But while K-beauty tends to be in the form of intensive skincare regimes or makeup techniques, these products are even more unique.
These eyebrow tints and lip stains are applied as a thick gel that dries to a rubbery consistence over the course of 15 minutes to a few hours (depending on the product). After peeling it off, you’re left with an eyebrow tint or lip color that lasts much longer than your typical product.
There have been some issues with these products. Brave users around the web have commented on damage done to lips by the lip tint, especially on chapped lips. Others have told horror stories of losing precious eyebrow hairs when they peeled off the gel.
Despite some warnings, many users have seen success. The claims that the tints last all-day held true according to commentators. While the brow tint takes longer to set, users were happy to report that their eyebrows looked darker and more defined without having to use 3 different brow products.
Would you be willing to test out this new trend in Korean beauty?
