Want to perfect that flawless glass skin glow you see in Kpop and Kdrama? First, you'll need to get your hands on some Korean makeup. Luckily, we know just the products and tricks the stars swear by.
How To Do Korean Makeup
Every Korean makeuproutine starts with acing your base. Nailing your base makeup helps your makeup stay in place longer and look fresher for longer.
Follow up with a BB Cream to even out any uneven skin tone and texture.
If you're not familiar with them, BB Cream is skincare + makeup combined. BB creams were invented to be used by laser patients after a laser treatment to hide damaged, red skin while also soothing and caring for it.
In the 1980s, Korean and Japanese beauty companies adapted BB Creams for cosmetic use, creating the first cosmetic BB creams. These creams are designed to soothe, heal and offer makeup coverage.
Known for its ability to cover flaws, brighten skin and prevent oiliness, this cult-favourite BB Cream was responsible for launching the BB Cream craze globally! Hot Pink BB Cream is a natural beige colour that adjusts to match your skin tone.
From Korea's hit BB Cream maker, Skin79, comes this worldwide bestselling BB Cream.
The Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream is one of our STYLE STORY K-Beauty Award Winners! This was the shade that started a global worldwide trend for BB Creams, that eventually went onto be copied by all the biggest western cosmetic brands. This is the original makeup, skincare and sunscreen product in one.
