In the world of Bollywood, it seems like every little detail about a celebrity’s life becomes a matter of public interest. From what they wear to whom they’re dating, it’s all up for discussion. If you’re not living under a rock, you’ve probably seen the uproar on social media surrounding Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s relationship. Many were quick to label Ranbir’s request for Alia to remove her lipstick as a major red flag. After all, shouldn’t a partner accept you for who you are, lipstick and all? While Ranbir Kapoor might not have known that his liking of how Alia Bhatt should wear her lipstick would turn out to be a major trend no thanks to him.

Now, moving on to the actual topic, let’s dive into the trend that Ranbir inadvertently ignited – the fascination with wiping off lip products. We’ve all seen it: the Instagram reels, facebook, and YouTube tutorials demonstrating the art of applying lipstick, only to wipe it away. The goal? To achieve that soft, natural tint that seems effortless and utterly kissable.

So, why this obsession with wiping away what we’ve just carefully applied? Here are a few possible reasons:
1. The ‘Effortless’ Look: In a world where perfection is often portrayed as the standard, many of us crave the look of natural beauty. Wiping off lipstick partially or entirely can create the illusion of just-bitten, flushed lips – a look that’s undeniably attractive.
2. Comfort Matters: Let’s face it; some lip products can be heavy and uncomfortable to wear for extended periods. By blotting away excess product, it’s possible to enjoy the aesthetic benefits of lipstick without the sticky or dry feeling.
3. Longevity and Versatility: Wiping off lipstick can also be a practical choice. By leaving behind a stain or tint, the colour can last longer without constant reapplication. Plus, this technique allows for versatility; you can control the intensity of the shade.
Ranbir Kapoor’s request to Alia Bhatt might have sparked a social media storm, but we cannot ignore the fact that all the girls are very much into the wiping off trend, starting from lip stains to the velvet matte lipstick and of course the age-old liquid lipsticks.
