I’ll be honest: I didn’t plan to become the person who reads lip-tint product descriptions at 2 a.m. But here we are sipping warm tea, scrolling through launches, and wondering why some tints actually survive an entire day of mask-wearing, chai, and intermittent snacking. If you care about natural makeup that still looks like you (but polished), the tiny world of K-beauty lip products especially things like Muzigae Mansion Objet Liquid is quietly doing interesting stuff in 2025. This isn’t a dry trend-watch post. It’s me, talking through what I’ve noticed, what experts are saying, and how to try the looks without feeling like you’re in a tutorial.
Why lip products? (Short answer: lips make the mood)
Lip color is one of the fastest ways to shift how you look and feel. A nudy lip stick for work, a blurred korean lip tint for weekends, a bold liquid for nights out and suddenly the same face tells different stories. Brands like Muzigae Mansion have leaned into that storytelling by offering a small range of thoughtfully designed products from soft lip tint gels to their Objet Liquid series that promise wearable, long lasting color without looking heavy. The brand presents itself as a vegan K-beauty line with several Objet Liquid and Moodwear Blur-type items that mix everyday aesthetics with modern formulas.
Trend 1 The Soft-Matte / Velvet Lip Lives On (but softer)
If 2024 nudged us from glossy obsession into more lived-in finishes, 2025 is refining that: think velvet, but not desiccated soft, blurred, and slightly “lived-in.” Beauty editors and trend pieces are calling this the next soft-matte evolution: texture matters as much as color. Instead of the ultra-matte, perfectly lined lip, the trend is soft edges, faint ombré, and skin-friendly finishes that read as natural makeup, not heavy glam. Vogue and other outlets reported this pivot as a core K-beauty direction for 2025. Interestingly, K-beauty still leads the conversation on how to make texture feel modern again.
What this means for you: a liquid lip tint or velvet stain that blends easily (instead of stamping a perfect pout) is the now look. Muzigae Mansion’s Objet Liquid range is clearly playing in that lane velvety finishes, compact tubes, and shades meant for daily wear rather than theatrical color.
Trend 2 Blurry liners and “rom-com lips” (soft, nostalgic, kissed)
You know that “just-kissed” lip from a rom-com where the lead leans in and well this is the makeup equivalent. Blurry liner techniques create a soft edge with your finger or a smudger have been bubbling up and now feel mainstream. Byrdie and Glamour highlighted this trend as key for 2025: the idea is more blending, less precision. It’s flattering, easy to do, and low-commitment.
How to try it: dab a korean lip tint in the center, blur outward with your finger, press lips together. Use a balm over it for a subtle sheen. Done. Also check out dual-texture tints that give pigment plus a soft cushion Muzigae Mansion and a few other K-beauty brands have been releasing products targeted for this look.
Trend 3 Hybrid formulas: gloss → stain → tint (the multi-stage trick)
This is my favorite: products that behave like multiple products in one. A few K-beauty launches have been touting gloss-to-stain or cream-to-stain textures you swipe glossy, it settles into a stain that lasts. Consumers love this because it gives an immediate payoff (gloss!) and the staying power of a stain later. Editors call this convenient, but honestly it's because it saves touch-ups. Innisfree and other players experimented with this concept earlier; 2025 sees the idea broaden across indie K-beauty lines.
If you want long lasting without desert-lips: look for water-based tints or soft-matte liquids advertised as hydrating. I’ve tried a handful that claim “all-day” and some actually survive lunch. Not all. But those that balance film-formers with humectants (glycerin, hyaluronic bits) do the trick.
Trend 4 Minimalist packaging, maximal product stories
Muzigae Mansion and other small K-beauty labels are leaning hard into design that feels modern and giftable weirdly satisfying packaging shapes, simple typography, names that sound like moods. The Objet Liquid bottles, for example, are designed to look sleek and deliberate a small part of how the brand positions itself in a crowded market. Retailers in India and the US are stocking these items now, which suggests the brand is scaling beyond niche.
Side remark: packaging sells mood as much as the shade. If you’ve ever bought something because it looked “like you,” you know what I mean.
Trend 5 Clean, vegan, and transparent ingredient calls (still serious)
K-beauty has always played at the intersection of skincare and makeup. In 2025, consumers are even pickier: vegan claims, clearer ingredient lists, and cruelty-free badges matter. Muzigae Mansion markets itself in this space as a vegan K-beauty brand with lip and cheek ranges that are accessible and gentle. That’s part of why people are swapping heavy lip stick for a liquid lip tint that claims hydration and fewer irritants.
Quick tip: if you have sensitive skin, try the product on the inner wrist or do a patch test. Also, if a product advertises “waterproof” + “hydrating,” read the fine print sometimes that’s about the finish not the wear.
How to pick the right Muzigae Mansion product (or any K-beauty tint)
- Decide finish Want natural? Try Objet Water or a blur formula. Want drama? Velvety Objet Liquid shades. (Yes, Muzigae Mansion names specific Objet Liquid shades like 012 Symbol, 008 Dominant in retail listings.)
- Check for hydration glycerin/hyaluronic mentions matter.
- Try the layering test balm under, tint over, blot see how it fares after coffee.
- Swatch in different lighting store lighting vs daylight = two different moods.
- Read real reviews indie brands can vary batch-to-batch; user reviews are gold.
Also check out mix-and-match techniques: a sheer korean lip tint in the center + matte outline = instant depth.
Real-world bits: interviews, studies, and what editors say
I’m paraphrasing several recent industry pieces here: Vogue’s 2025 round-up quoted K-beauty experts (Lee and Park) about texture-forward shifts in product development; beauty editors have been flagging “soft-matte” and hybrid gloss-stain formulas as the big moves this year. Trade pieces on Byrdie and Glamour point to the blurring liner and rom-com lip as stylistic trends people can actually pull off at home. So not just my late-night ramblings; there’s editorial consensus here.
(If you like receipts, I poked around a few retail listings too; Muzigae Mansion’s Objet Liquid shows up across retailers in India and brand storefronts, which tells you the products are available and being promoted beyond a single market.)
Final thoughts what’s next for 2025 and how to experiment
2025 feels like a year when k beauty products stop shouting and start whispering they nudge your features, don’t scream for attention. So expect: more hybrid formulas, softer textures, and brands leaning into minimalist storytelling. For Muzigae Mansion specifically, watch how their Objet Liquid and water-based tints evolve the packaging and product family suggest they’re building a little everyday-lip ecosystem.
If you want to try one thing today: swap your usual lip stick for a liquid lip tint or a blur formula for a week. Do the coffee test, the mask test, the wind-in-your-face test. See how it ages on you. That’s the only real way to figure out if it’s trend or keeper.
Short, thoughtful wrap-up
Trends are fun to follow, but makeup is ultimately about choices that fit your life. If Muzigae Mansion or any of the new long lasting tints feel right use them, mess around, and make them yours. Also if you try the Objet Liquid or a rom-com lip and want to rant/celebrate, tell me. I want receipts (and swatch photos, obviously).
