Korean makeup

Asian make-up wins the hearts of modern fashionistas. Today, Korean makeup is in the spotlight. Mysterious Asia has always attracted attention: correctly placed accents with a small arsenal of cosmetics allow you to give your face a beautiful and natural look. This image is pleasing to the eye and is noticeably different from the beauty art of Russian girls.

Make-up in Korean style - makeup, which is based on the principle of naturalness. The idea is to highlight not cosmetics, but the natural beauty of the face.

This make-up has a nationality: it is formed under the influence of the history, culture of the country, climatic conditions and other factors. Therefore, his style is fundamentally different from all others. One of the main differences that predetermined the method of applying cosmetics is the ethnic difference in facial features.

Outwardly, Korean women are noticeably different from European girls. Their face is characterized by somewhat angular cheekbones, small but puffy lips, a neat nose with a thin back, a narrowed eye slit and the absence of folds in the upper eyelid. The use of cosmetics should be aimed at increasing the size of the eyes, emphasizing the lips and emphasizing the flawlessness of the skin. In this case, any unnaturalness is excluded.

Korean makeup has a number of differences from European.He is so popular in his country that he is popular with actresses and Korean idols, and not just girls. No male K-pop group can do without such a make-up. For the most natural result, the creative team hires a team of professional stylists. Any drama attracts the eye, drawing attention to the beauty and natural appearance of the actors.

Features of Korean makeup include:

• porcelain skin;
• shining effect;
• eye accentuation;
• straight and wide eyebrow line;
• light shadows;
• pitch black ink;
• use of traditional Korean cosmetics.

A distinctive feature of Korean makeup is its versatility. For all its unusualness, such a make-up is combined with different clothes and style directions. It is appropriate in the image of a cute lamp-chan (Korean idol), relevant in the classic set, harmonious in the image of a romantic nature and indispensable in the bow of a luxurious beauty at an evening reception.

Korean cosmetics are of good quality and durability. With proper application of makeup, it will last all day, while the preparations will not spread and will not create the effect of a sliding mask.

Korea is a special country, therefore, cosmetic products created on its territory are also different from any other. Even those drugs that were first introduced in Europe have been masterfully perfected by Asian cosmetic companies. The main components of Korean makeup are:

• Base makeup. Most people in the country have porous skin and are characterized by increased production of sebaceous glands. The base coat evens out the tone of the face, masking minor skin imperfections. In addition to smoothing and embossing, the base helps to maintain the durability of the foundation.

• Tonal cosmetics. BB cream, released in Korea, differs from the German counterpart in that the percentage of SPF in its composition is much higher (at least 30). The tool provides tone adjustment and is able to create the desired relief.

• Cushion. Cosmetics, which is the development of Korean brands. In fact, this is a sponge with tonal impregnation. In addition to the main purpose, the composition is enriched with a number of useful components.

• Tint. Cosmetic products with a liquid texture, characterized by high pigmentation, durability and matte finish. Among the varieties of cosmetics, preparations for lips, cheeks and eyebrows can be distinguished. The first development of Korean women is also used as a blush. Usually, the tint can be used as a lip pigment and blush at the same time. Eyebrow preparation is a cosmetic preparation that is difficult for us to understand, but it is very popular in Korea.

• Eyeliner. Korean-style makeup does not accept emphasizing the eyes with a pencil. The ideal make-up tool is black liquid eyeliner. No options with the tone of the product are allowed.

Makeup in Korean is not only mascara and lipstick. Step-by-step observing all the nuances of Korean makeup, you can create a beautiful Korean-style makeup yourself at home. It will take some time, but the result is worth it. The technology of applying cosmetics includes preparing the skin and correcting facial features.

Before applying cosmetics, it is necessary to prepare the skin. Every Korean woman knows that a cleansed and moisturized dermis is the main condition for a quality make-up.

In the arsenal of girls there is always a lot of preparations for facial skin care. Skin care includes the use of cleansing oil, facial cleanser, scrub, toner, sheet-based masks, eye preparations, and UV filter cream. One of the components of care is green tea, which contains antioxidants.

The tricks for flawless skin include several tricks:

• The base is applied in a thin layer. If there are skin problems, Koreans, unlike Europeans, apply two layers of base: first, a dark primer, and cosmetics on top, about half a tone lighter than the natural color.

• concealer - obligatory admission. Korean makeup is impeccable in everything. Dark circles around the eyes and age spots are unacceptable. All this is masked by careful shading. If there is no concealer in the cosmetic bag, a foundation lighter by half a tone of the base product will cope with its task.

• As a foundation, a cushion with a liquid consistency is used. This is a pad impregnated with a special composition that combines the properties of foundation, powder and BB cream.The agent is transferred to the sponge, so the application layer is thin, almost imperceptible and natural.

• The accent of the skin remains the porcelain effect. The rules for applying cosmetics involve the use of loose powder with a light texture. Dense and compact analogues are excluded: you need a colorless product that gives the coating airiness and a delicate shine. The favorite tricks of European women (bronzers) are unacceptable - it is better to use a highlighter (in moderation).

• Having evened out the tone, they make a slight accent on the cheeks with the help of blush. You need to choose a shade taking into account the color of the eyes and hair. You can not use artificial shades of color: they will ruin the whole look. Owners of light brown and dark curls are shown dark tones of beige, blondes - beige with pinkish overtones.

Having created the perfect tone of the face, you can proceed to the design of the eyes and eyebrows. All stages of the Korean makeup technique are carried out using special cosmetic brushes, which contribute to a more even and thin layer of application.

Eye makeup - a visiting card of Korean women. The task of cosmetics is to change the incision by correcting the shape. It is important to make the look open and light, not forgetting to accentuate its peculiarity and beauty.

To visually increase the size of the eyes, you need to use light shadows. The priority is beige and sand shades of the palette. There may be several tones, but it is important that the transition between shades is natural and imperceptible.

The light range not only increases the size of the eyes, but also gives the face freshness, emphasizing the effect of the “doll face”. To prevent the shadows from rolling into the crease of the moving eyelid, you can use a primer.

A white line is applied to the lower and moving eyelids with a pencil or shadows.This should be done at the base of the eyelashes. The same tool emphasizes the lower border of the eyebrows.

After highlighting the lash lines, you need to give a glow to the outer corner of the eye with the help of shades of pink or plum. With the same shade, you need to walk along the lower eyelid, creating the effect of slight swelling.

Neat arrows are drawn along the eyelash growth line of the upper eyelid. No need to try to make a "cat's eye" shape: it is important to emphasize the natural line, slightly lowering it at the end and connecting it with the lower edge of the lash growth. For arrows, only eyeliner is used: there can be no pencils.

To give the look expressiveness, it is better to use mascara with a volume effect. It is applied in two or three layers, while making sure that the eyelashes do not stick together and look as natural as possible. To do this, use special brushes, combing the eyelashes to an ideal separation.

The final stage of eye makeup is the placement of accents with the help of a highlighter (in the inner corners of the eyes and quite a bit on the lower eyelid).

Eyebrows - a separate moment of makeup. Koreans love a straight eyebrow shape, with little to no curve. Every woman can make her beautiful, especially since there are special templates to facilitate this task. Initially, the eyebrows should be perfectly plucked so that their border is visible. It is important to consider that the eyebrow line should be wide.

When applying cosmetics, it is necessary to use a special eyebrow pencil, marking the boundaries, and then shading them with a special brush. In this case, the form is quite beautiful and clear. You can fix the shape with special wax or lipstick. The color of the eyebrows should be slightly lighter than the tone of the hair. It is important that the look is natural and does not stand out against the background of the eyes.

Korean women do not like lipstick with a heavy texture or dark pigment. Their most popular lip product is tints. The effect of kissed lips is a favorite makeup theme. The texture can be translucent, with a delicate sheen, but the main focus of cosmetics is durability. Such preparations should stay on the lips all day.

It is desirable that the color of the lipstick does not interrupt the accent of the eyes. Therefore, it is even better if the cosmetics are translucent. Making the “after kiss” effect is not difficult at all:

• Moisturize lips and apply primer. Then they are covered with a thin layer of foundation or concealer, delicately blending with a special brush. There can be no contours or strokes of the lips.

• The center (middle of the lips) is complemented with bright lipstick. You need quite a bit of cosmetics so as not to spoil the desired effect. Delicately with a brush, a bright color is stretched to the contours of the upper and lower lips, not reaching the borders themselves.

• Taking a cotton swab, "imprinted" excess color. So the transition will look natural and beautiful. It remains to apply a transparent gloss on top.

Makeup secrets of Asian women - the choice of primordially Korean cosmetics. Well, if it is not only produced in Korea, but also developed on the territory of the same country. European facial cosmetics are acceptable, but they will not work to create a porcelain shade.

The composition of powder or foundation must necessarily contain components of care and protection from ultraviolet rays. Ideally, these are cosmetics with a moisturizing and healing effect. In addition to saturating cells with life-giving moisture, it is desirable that plant extracts be included in the composition.

Lipstick for special occasions (if the situation requires it) should not be bright.Well, if her tone is creamy, close to the natural color of the lips. Pink and powdery shades of the palette are not excluded. When choosing a blush, you should give preference to shades of plum, peach or bronze.

When choosing lip tints, you should give preference to natural or light shades, mentally choosing a combination of foundation and a suitable tone. The texture of a good product is light and pleasant. Universal option - transparent gloss.

When buying special cosmetics, one should not forget that due to its intensity, it needs a special make-up remover - hydrophilic oil. The texture of the preparation is oily, however, along with the removal of cosmetics, the skin receives the necessary hydration and cell saturation with useful substances.
