Like the saying goes, Asians don’t Raisin, it is true that Asians are blessed with ageless genetics. But hey! It can’t be just genes. With Korean celebs like Sandara Park getting younger each year, it is time we have a look at the Asian beauty trends. Here we have gathered the top 6 Korean beauty trends for you to get the ever so youthful look!
1. Gradient lips
Korean makeup is all about keeping it young and fresh. The ever so famous just-bitten lips are achieved by applying the lipstick first then retouching the corners with cushion foundation. Get your playful and innocent look by letting those strong lip colours mellow down by trying out this gradient lip technique!
2. Aegyo-sal
Tired of trying all those gloopy eye mask to get rid of your puffy eyes? Well the Koreans have found a new way to turn your imperfections into the most wanted beauty trends! Forget about layering concealers and get on track with the new Aegyo-sal(baby eye bag) technique! Simply add a soft contour under your eyes and add a touch of highlighter in the centre to work those puffy eyes into a more awake and wider looking eye!
3) Straight eye brows
Straight eyebrows have been on the trend for a long time now and this may sound a little unflattering for those who have been trying out the arched eyebrows using the gradient brow palettes. But, keeping our focus on a more youthful look, a straight eyebrow keeps your face looking more rounded and younger!
4) Puppy liner
Many of us are familiar with the winged eyeliner where the main focus is on flicking the ends of the liner upwards. The winged liner provides a much sharper and cleaner look as compared to the Korean puppy liners that does the total opposite. The puppy liner helps to enlarge the eyes by widening the outer corners of the eye. Instead of flicking your liner upwards, try flicking it down and filling in the gap to get a softer and subtle eye makeup look!
5) Poppy orange blush
The Koreans are all about the natural flush and these orange blushes are what you need to bring back the warmth to your skin. Forget about those bronzers and contour sticks and enjoy the tangerine flush by trying out the new coral cheek palettes!
6) Soft contouring and bold highlights
Although Kylie’s contour has been the talk of the town for quite some time now, the new trend is all about strobing. If you are confused over the changing beauty trends, the Koreans have got it fixed for you by having a balance of both! Avoid dark contours with any harsh colours and get a very soft contour with lighter bronzers and go heavier with your highlighting. Get slender looking features without having to alter the natural skin tone by giving this technique a shot!
