Korean Makeup Tutorial for the Holidays

1. Skin preparation

The secret to Koreans’ plump and radiant skin is their skin preparation. Before applying multiple coats of makeup, ensure your face is adequately hydrated to improve the appearance of your skin. Apply toner, serum, moisturizer, and, of course, sunscreen. Lastly, finish skin preparation by applying lip balm on your lips.

Note: A sheet mask can also hydrate your skin for a radiant appearance.

2. Apply lightweight foundation, cushion, or BB cream

Whether you prefer foundation, cushion, or BB cream, choose a shade that suits your face. Apply it equally over your face up to your neck, and aim for medium coverage instead of airbrushed. Add a finishing powder to your base to keep your makeup in place.

Cushions like the Missha Magic Cushion Cover Lasting can hide dull skin and give a flawless appearance. Moreover, it helps stop premature aging and skin discoloration thanks to its sun protection with SPF 50 PA+++ formulation. While the multipurpose MISSHA BB cream smoothes out fine wrinkles and offers flawless coverage for skin flaws. You may build up coverage from sheer to medium thanks to the formula. The SPF 42 PA+++ in BB cream provides a strong defense against UVA and UVB rays.

Add concealer if you need extra coverage for dark spots. The Cover Perfection Tip Concealer can hide skin imperfections, including pimples and spots. The thin product adheres perfectly and gently for a seamless finish. Enriched with oxygen complex, glacial water, and reflective powder to give skin a glowing, healthy natural appearance. Also, sun protection with SPF 28 PA++.

Tip: Before applying your base, use a hydrating primer to make your skin appear dewy.

3. Shimmery or Glittery eyeshadow and aegyo-sal

Holidays are the perfect time to go all-out with your eyeshadow look. The popular color options revolve around colors that complement skin tone, such as tan, pink, gold, or brown. Add shimmers and glitters for a holiday sprinkle on your face. It will make you look shiny and classy until night!

Want a handy eyeshadow you can bring on your pouch anywhere? The Peripera All Take Mood has eight colors in different finishes that are included in a single-file eye shadow pallet so you can easily create the looks you want. Its silky, tiny pigments easily attach to the skin.The color palettes are pigmented and designed to seem natural so that your face receives the proper color. On the other hand, if you want a glittering eye product you can easily put in one glide, try the CLIO Twinkle Pop Glittering Eye Stick.

For aegyo-sal (skin beneath the eyes) style, smile with your eyes to naturally bring out your aegyo-sal and know where you should contour. Then, using a brown hue, draw a line under where your aegyo-sal puffs out on the right and fill in with beige. Until the point where you contoured, line the inner corners and beneath the under lashes, then blend both colors. Your aegyo-sal will appear less harsh and more natural as a result. Add glitter to the inner corners of your eyes or the middle of your waterline for a more stunning look.

4. Eyeliner

A fine line of black or brown eyeliner is applied to draw attention to the eyes. Thus, brown eyeliner is recommended for a soft girly look. Also, it won’t smudge if powder or matte eye shadow is covered before eyeliner. For eyeliner that’s dramatic, bright, and lasts for hours, the CLIO Sharp, So Simple Waterproof Pencil Liner is available in a smudge and waterproof formulation. It’s simple and efficient thanks to the twist-style design.

5. Natural-looking eyebrows

The idea is to achieve a delicate, barely-there brow with no discernible arches. Start by drawing brows around your natural outline as you go over your brows, then fill in any blank spaces with the same eyebrow pencil, making sure to draw over existing brows to prevent an arch.

The Etude Drawing Eyebrow pencil has an oil control powder infusion for long-lasting color and a sweat-proof composition. It gives brows a defined but natural-looking finish as it glides on effortlessly. Drawing accurate lines is made simple by the pencil’s angled design, and the built-in screw brush creates a feathery finish. It has seven different colors, from dark gray to light brown.

6. Contour and blush

Blush is a great go-to in Korea. It comes in various forms, including the standard powder, liquid, and stick. Thus, choosing hues that go well with your skin tone is a terrific approach to achieving a natural look. Koreans frequently use blush in shades of pink, orange, or coral.

With the Peripera Pure Blushed Sunshine Cheek’s delicate and intensely pigmented blushes, you may give your cheeks a flattering wash of pastel color. Sebum-infused powder guarantees a matte finish that lasts all day.

Apply a contour cream or powder on the side cheekbones and the top of the forehead. The darker skin tone on the sides of your face will highlight your face’s center. Additionally, it provides a toning and slimming effect.

The Etude Contour Powder includes two hues that seem natural and can be used for simple contouring and in-depth shading. For best results, use a brush to apply on your jawline, nose, or eyes. It comes in two variations, Creator and Inventor, each for a distinct skin tone.

7. Highlight the face’s high points

Put a highlighter on your face’s high points: The tops of your cheekbones, chin, nose bridge, forehead, and cupid’s bow. It will give your complexion that goddess-like radiance appearance!

This highlighter’s dewy, jelly-like consistency is enhanced with ultra-fine shimmer for a seamless, streak-free application. The best part? The translucent color lasts all day! Apply on the T-zone and C-zone for a natural sun-kissed appearance.

Note: Your highlighter should be two tones lighter than your natural skin tone.

8. Put mascara or eyelash extensions

You’ll feel and look better with healthy eyelashes, whether from mascara or extensions. Additionally, the lashes will highlight the color of your eyes while enlarging and enhancing them.

With CLIO’s Superproof mascara, you can rapidly achieve long and curling lashes. The wax mixture improves definition and provides a clump-free, long-lasting appearance that withstands sweat and water.

9. Gradient lips

You can put concealer on your lips to create a canvas and hide glaring lip lines or wrinkles. Also, to ensure that the lip color you will apply pops out more. Then, apply the lip product in the middle of your lips, near your mouth, using a dotting motion. Begin with a tiny quantity of the product and gradually increase it.

To smear the color, lightly rub your lips together next. Remember to apply a gently open-and-close motion rather than smudging it all over your lips to get the signature subtle gradient of Korean gradient lips. For juicy lips, put some lipgloss!

The emphasis on feminine beauty and simplicity characterizes Korean makeup for the holidays, and it’s all about experimenting without seeming too flashy. Thus, working with less is crucial to appear younger, fresher, and healthier. Let us know which Korean makeup for the holidays you liked using best.
