Korean sebum control powder pacts are my personal favourite when it comes to powders. Since I have combination skin, I concentrate on the T-zone, where I’m more oily. If the glow is too much and you’re getting to oil-slick territory, very lightly apply finishing powder on the areas that are too shiny. The difference is ever so subtle, but it’s there. To create a more “perfect” hairline, using an eyeshadow that matches my hair color, I shade all around my hairline with a fluffy brush. Another Korean trend is hairline contouring, which is used to make the face appear smaller and the hairline more full and “perfect.” I have a widow’s peak, and though it doesn’t particularly bother me, I’m all about playing around with different makeup trends. You can see how the concealer/highlighter highlight has given my skin a soft glow. The result is very simple, yet put-together. On the eyes, I add a light shimmery shadow, while using a matte pink on the lips. STEP 9: Shimmery shadow & Matte Pink Lips Another favorite is the Tony Moly Auto Touch Eyebrow pencil because the pencil is angled, it comes with a built-in spoolie brush and you never have to sharpen them. Using an angled brush, a matte dark eyeshadow, and light feathery strokes, I fill the arch in to make my brows as straight as possible.
A popular Korean eyebrow shape is the straight brow, which are meant to look more youthful (think back to what your brows used to look like before you went pluck-crazy in high school). Another favorite is the Son & Park Highlight Cube that gives me the perfect luminous highlight.
I’m using RMS Living Luminizer, which gives the skin a radiant sheen. More highlighter! To make skin appear even more luminous, apply a cream or liquid highlighter on the bridge of the nose, the tops of the cheekbones, the chin and underneath the brows. I’m using The Face Shop Single Blush in Orange Some. While this look is perfect as a subtle homage to Cats the Musical, you’re most likely going to want to go ahead and blend with a fluffy brush like so:Īnother Korean favourite is orange blush, applied higher on the cheek rather than on the apples. I’ve done this with a heavy hand to show where the contour should go. This is what I’m trying to emulate with the contour. A favoured Korean face shape possesses the “V Line” jaw, with a broader forehead and a dainty “v” shaped chin. With a matte brown powder (I’m using Urban Decay’s Buck), I lightly contoured the sides of my nose, underneath the cheekbones, around the hairline and under the chin. Though the results may look a bit ghostly, some light handed contouring will bring dimension back into the face. I apply it under the eyes, the bridge of the nose, centre of the forehead and chin.Īgain, I blend the product into the skin using a damp sponge.
Because this particular concealer is formulated for use under the eye, its creamy consistency means that it hardly settles into lines and applies very smooth. I’m using Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles in a shade lighter than my skin tone. I’m into this technique as it also conceals undereye circles. To get that Korean glow, highlighting is crucial. I like Fairy Drops Candybar BB Cream, which provides amazing coverage without appearing too thick or cakey. Using a damp sponge, I apply BB cream to the face. This will prep the skin, allowing a smoother base for foundation or BB cream and help makeup last longer. This is “contouring” - Korean style.Īfter the basics (cleansing, toning, moisturizing and sunscreen), I start with a primer. Here is my step-by-step guide to getting that gorgeous Korean dewy look. While great skincare is definitely key to a beautiful complexion, sometimes we all need a little extra help. To keep my skin looking less haggard, more K-pop star, I’m currently all about Obagi mixed in my favourite Korean standbys ( MISSHA sunblock and serums). Why? Because Korean beauty looks all start with a fresh-faced, healthy glow. From the double cleanse to beloved sheet masks, Korean skin care is unparalleled. There’s a reason why Korean skincare is so thorough.
