Aside from the epic world of K-pop and K-drama, Korea is also known for their beautiful women. Korean women quite possibly have the most spotless and youthful skin all around the world. Naturally, women all around the world want a piece of that. Of course, their world-famous 10 step skincare routine is a major reason, but turns out; they also apply makeup a tad differently to get that enviable youthful glow. So, if you want to recreate that glowing, youthful skin, ahead are some makeup tricks Korean women use to get that glass skin!
02/8Fruit Juice Makeup
In order to look as youthful as possible, Korean women tend to stick to an aesthetic she calls juicy-ism or fruit juice makeup. It means getting enough color on your cheeks as if they were a ripe fruit ready to eat and bursting with juice. You can achieve this by applying fruit-colored blush (think watermelon, peach, strawberries, etc.) directly onto the front apples of your cheeks instead of blending upward and outward.
03/8Striaghter eyebrows
Korean women prefer a barely there curve when it comes to their brow because they think it makes them look younger. A super-curved eyebrow is too much. You can mimic the youthful brow effect by drawing in your brows as more straight-across than severely arched. In Korea, we call it a 'seaweed brow!
04/8Use cushion foundations
Cushions foundations have helped Korean women whittle down the time it takes to get their luminescent, glass-skin effect from 13 minutes down to an average of seven, and you'll be hard-pressed to find a single woman in Korea who prefers a traditional foundation over a cushion.
05/8Doll-like eyes
The eyes are the window to the soul. They also decide what kind of vibe your makeup look is going to give. To enhance the youthfulness of their face, Korean women apply makeup to get a doll-eye makeup look. Korean women use a peal-white or an iridescent eyeshadow close to your skin tone and apply on the lower lash line and the lids.
06/8No-winged liner
While the world is busy perfecting the winged eyeliner, Korean women don’t care two hoots for it. Youthful features require diffused strokes. Winged eyeliner is far from it. But that doesn’t stop them from lining their eyes. Korean women use a thin brush liner to lightly line the lash line, while following the natural shape. The more natural looking, the better!
07/8Blushing nose
Apart from applying blush on the apples of the cheeks, Korean women also use the remnants of the blush on the brush on the nose. This creates a naturally flushes and youthful look.
08/8Gradient lips
You will never see a Korean woman obsessing over a perfectly matte liquid lipstick. That’s so not her scene. To enhance the natural appearance of their lips, Korean women lightly dab lipstick only on the inner part of the lips. If they’re feeling fancy, they layer it by lightly dabbing a transparent lip gloss over it.
