The Korean Makeup Technique That Enlarges Lips Instantly
Step 1: Prep the lips
Dry lips will prevent the blurring effect, so gently massage lips with a scrub and then apply a moisturizing balm. If you have time, leave the balm on for a few minutes as a mask before removing for the next step.

Step 2: Blur the outline
We're looking for the opposite of outlined lips, so use a little concealer on the outline of the lips to neutralize your natural color. Don't overdo it; a very small amount of concealer is more than enough. If you have previously applied makeup to your skin, you can also achieve the same effect by spreading foundation onto your lips with your brush or sponge. Then blend with your finger, and you're done.
Step 3: Apply a drop of color in the middle
Lip tints or moisturizing lipsticks, like Violette's Bisou Balm, are the key to achieving this look as it relies on transparent, light layers. Look for shades that closely resemble your natural color, but with a slightly more vivid touch. Think: cherry reds, raspberry, coral, guava. Apply a drop of color in the center of the upper and lower lips, then blend outward with your finger.

Step 4: Seal (if you want to)
If you're worried about the color moving, you can seal with a little loose powder around the lips using a small brush, or apply a touch of powder blush in the center of the lips. It's not mandatory, but it helps to keep the color in place. Afterwards, use gloss if you feel like it—but only very lightly in the center. The result should be a natural lip with color and a lot of volume.

Woman Asks Husband To Pick TV for Bedroom—Unprepared for What She Finds
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A couple online have proven that, when it comes to design choices, bigger is better—even if it is a bit shocking at first. When Lauryn Windham Franks, 35, decided to delegate the task of choosing a new television for their master bedroom to her husband, Colin, she anticipated a practical, perhaps aesthetically pleasing, choice. What she got instead was a screen so massive that it instantly became a sensation on TikTok, showcasing the disparity in their design visions. Franks told Newsweek about the hilariously large TV her husband brought home when she left him to his devices. "I left my husband in charge of picking the TV for our master bedroom because I was tired of making decisions," Franks captioned the video. "I was thinking more of a pretty frame TV, but okay." Photos from Lauryn Windham Franks' TikTok video of her husband laying watching television, left; and their child in front of the massive screen, right.

As Franks said, Colin had handled the structural elements of their home build, while she focused on the design. Given her lack of interest in researching televisions, though, Franks "truthfully didn't care what he bought—just like he didn't care what kind of furniture I bought." The surprise, however, was monumental—it was a 98-inch screen. Franks said that the video was "all in good fun," adding that "I laughed when I saw him, and told him I'm now really excited to watch my shows." The sheer scale of the TV resonated with countless TikTok users, many of whom shared their own experiences with gigantic televisions and surprising design choices. "'It's not that big,' he says as the TV takes up half the wall and is taller than your child," one person wrote. Another user highlighted the common issue of TV size versus viewing distance: "Y'all are also absurdly close to the screen for its size." Some related to the compromises, or surrenders, in shared living spaces. "We have a 75 [inch] in our room and 86 [inch] in the living room," one parent wrote. "'Bluey' is on them. I don't get to watch my shows anymore." The power dynamics of significant purchases also came to light: "My husband knows exactly what day before my period starts that I will agree to spend more money," a commenter shared. "That's how he knew what day we needed to go to Best Buy for this same reason—he admitted he knows 'the signs.'" Franks' TikTok is an entertaining look into their home-building process, from start to finish, including decorating, managing their eight acres, balancing work and family life, and Disney vacations. The unexpected master bedroom TV choice is just the latest chapter in the relatable journey of creating their dream home.

TikTok 'content check' tells creators if their videos will be blocked from For You pages
TikTok's "For You" recommendations have long been a source of mystery and fascination for creators on the platform. Even the most seasoned TikTok stars don't always understand why some videos go viral and some don't. And there's long been lots of speculation about the types of content that is and isn't acceptable to the app's recommendation algorithm. Now, the company is looking to give creators more transparency into its recommendations. TikTok is testing out a "content check" feature that will allow creators to preview whether their videos have issues that might prevent them from appearing in the coveted "For You" feed. TikTok is kicking it off with a web-based feature called "Content Check Lite" that will be available on desktop in TikTok Studio. The feature will check uploaded videos for "For You" eligibility and flag potential issues before posting. The company also says it's in the "early stages" of experimenting with a "broader" content check feature that can check "content against all our Community Guidelines before it goes live on platform," and offer specific feedback on changes that can help correct ineligible content. A "small group" of creators are currently part of the test, according to the company. TikTok has already tested a version of this for TikTok Shop sellers, and says the feature has already resulted in a 27 percent reduction in "low-quality uploads" to the app. The feature could also help the company increase trust with creators, who often speculate about "shadow bans" and why some videos don't get as many views as they expect. "Ultimately, our goal is to help creators understand our rules and make sure that they can know how best to build that audience and build that thriving following on TikTok," TikTok's head of operations and trust and safety, Adam Presser, said during a press event. "We're excited to learn from the pilot, and hope to have more to share ahead in the next few months." The company is also adding several other updates for creators, including new muting and filtering controls that make it easier to weed out specific terms from comments in live streams and other posts. The app is also getting a designated "creator inbox" to make it easier to manage messaging in the app. Creators who want to have a separate space to interact with followers will also be able to take advantage of "creator chat rooms," which allows eligible accounts to make a dedicated space for chats with up to 300 followers.

I tried this viral handheld fan that's blowing up on TikTok — and it's $21 off at Amazon right now
Anyone living on the east coast can tell you it's been a broiler fest the last week because of the relenting heatwave going on. Luckily, I ditched my old handheld fan for this viral one I saw on TikTok — and it feels like I'm being blasted with cool air from a jet engine. Plus, it's $21 off for a limited time. Amazon has the JisuLife Handheld Fan Ultra2 on sale for $68. It's exactly the kind of thing I recommend you bring with you everywhere because it'll cool you fast when you need it. Feel the power of a jet engine in your hand with the JisuLife Handheld Fan Ultra2. This handheld fan delivers impressive air flow thanks to its bladeless design and 75000RPM high-speed motor that delivers peak speeds up to 42 mph. For years I've leaned on those USB-C fans I attach to my phone's charging port, but while they're convenient to carry around, they're not all that powerful. I watched a few videos on TikTok for the JisuLife Handheld Fan Ultra2, which has been tipped as being one of the most powerful handheld fans available. That's because it's designed unlike any other handheld fan I've tested. Instead of your traditional handheld that uses plastic blades to generate air flow, this one relies on concealed metal blades and a 75000RPM high-speed motor to generate peak wind speeds of 42 mph (19.2m/s). It's even stronger than a traditional hair dryer. I'm not kidding that it feels like a jet turbo engine whipping air at my face because that's exactly how powerful it is. Although, I wouldn't say it's the quietest either — especially when I set it to its maximum speed. I think 33% speed is more than sufficient to deliver the breeze, but it sounds just like a jet engine at 100%. It also comes with this funnel attachment that connects magnetically to the fan, which isolates the airflow into a more confined spot. At 100% speed, it almost makes me feel like I'm using my electric leaf blower because of how strong it is. In fact, it's the sort of thing that helps with drying off my car after a wash. Instead of letting the water air dry, I've used the JisuLife Handheld Fan Ultra2 to blow away the water from the hood and other parts of my car. Now, you might think all of this power compromises its battery life — but it doesn't. This is because it comes with a 9,000 mAh battery that takes upwards of 2.5 hours to recharge. Depending on the speed, it can last anywhere from 2 to 6 hours. I try to carry as little as possible with me to work, but the JisuLife Handheld Fan Ultra2 is one of the few things I do carry.
