Male Idol Goes Viral For His Unique “Lip Reduction Makeup”
The overlip has become a staple in K-Pop makeup in the past year. Many idols such as LE SSERAFIM’s Yunjin purposefully apply lip products beyond their natural lip boundary to create the illusion of bigger lips, just like below.
One particular male idol has been doing the exact opposite though. NCT Wish Sakuya’s natural lips are plump and luscious.
The full lips make him look even more baby-like!
Perhaps that is why his makeup artist has taken to reducing his lip size instead. His makeup artist purposefully uses foundation or concealer to cover his natural lip boundaries, applying lip color in a gradation. This creates the illusion of smaller lips.
Here is a close-up of his lips with such reduction makeup.
You can see that foundation or concealer has been applied to the edges of his lips.
For the same reason, his lip color is often kept light compared to the other members. This tidbit soon went viral on X.

I wanted to look younger so I did an overlip such that my lips were his size, but I ended up looking way older like Addamama (character) instead.
Which do you like more? His natural lips, or the reduced ones?
