How to paint Korean girls. Korean makeup. Nuances of creation

Korean women have always attracted attention with their incredible grooming, which is considered the basis of oriental beauty. Today we will closely analyze the stages and features of Korean makeup.

1. Preparing the face

Everything is pretty standard. Pre-cleanse the skin with gel, foam or lotion, whichever you prefer. Then we apply a moisturizing cream with a simultaneous light massage along the massage lines of the skin. Now you can apply a tonal foundation that hides redness, pimples, spots, if they suddenly appear. The tinting agent is fixed with a thin layer of powder.

Foundation and powder are selected in accordance with your own complexion, although it is not uncommon to use such tones two lighter than the natural skin color. Blush is used without fail, better than natural shades.

2. Korean eye makeup

Korean women attach great importance to eye makeup, at the same time strive to make it modest and discreet. The main principle is simplicity.

To visually enlarge the eyes, shadows of light translucent shades are applied to the eyelids. Korean girls love sandy, dark beige and especially pink tones, which are often even preferred: they are applied to the entire outer edge of the upper eyelids.

Shadows of different tones are superimposed with a jeweler's skill: the transitions from one shade to another are almost imperceptible. Light shadows are also applied to the lower eyelid in a narrow strip, but not always, because the focus is on the upper eyelids.

A feature of Korean eye makeup is considered to be a line along the edge of the eyelids, drawn with a white pencil. A thin black eyeliner, applied along the growth of the eyelashes, ends with arrows. The eyelashes are painted with black mascara with careful combing. False eyelashes are rarely used.

Several interesting and essentially different Korean makeup options are below:

3. Eyebrows as a make-up addition

4. Lip makeup

Korean women rarely paint their lips with lipstick in dark or bright colors - naturalness is in trend. Therefore, to revive the color of the lips, lipstick is used in a natural color scheme and is covered with a transparent gloss on top. Sometimes lips sparkle with only one or two layers of gloss - no lipstick.

One of the oriental make-up directions is Korean makeup. Its main task is to create the impression that the minimum amount of products was used when applying cosmetics. In fact, girls from the DPRK skillfully wield a huge arsenal of beauty novelties, which are intensively replenishing the collections of South Korean brands. Let's reveal the secrets of how European women can learn to do it.

Peculiarities

To begin with, it is worth understanding what are the distinctive features of the makeup of Korean girls:

  • porcelain leather;
  • shine effect;
  • round pink cheeks, like a child's or a doll's;
  • the emphasis is on the eyes, so that the lips should remain in shadow;
  • the use of new products from the Korean beauty industry: for example, cushons (this is a compact liquid foundation), tints (a long-lasting translucent texture for lips), hydrophilic oil (a greasy but very effective remover);
  • straight, wide eyebrows without bending;
  • only light shadows;
  • lush eyelashes.

When done correctly, Korean makeup will give your face a childish and puppet look. Therefore, a make-up of this type should be chosen by girls of the appropriate age. After 30 it will be out of place.

It is a fact! Korean women devote a lot of time to skin and hair care, using a huge amount of cosmetics for this. Without putting on makeup, they will not go out.

Application technology

To do Korean makeup, you have to work hard both on the skin, which must be flawlessly clean, and on the eyes, which require an accent. An approximate step-by-step instruction will allow you to grasp the general direction of applying cosmetics and. If something is not clear, you can always watch the training videos.

Leather

All Korean leather make-up strives for a porcelain shade with children's ruddy cheeks. Also keep in mind that powder and foundation must contain UPF filters.

  1. To thoroughly mask skin irregularities, Korean girls apply 2 layers of basic products at once: the lower primer is usually dark, the upper one and a half shades lighter.
  2. Korean eye makeup is impossible without a concealer: there should be no spots or dark circles in the orbital area. They need to be carefully shaded.
  3. Instead of a foundation, a cushion of liquid consistency is applied. This is a special sponge, with which the product is transferred to the sponge and lays down in an even, almost imperceptible layer. This is how the maximum naturalness is achieved.
  4. A special powder will help to achieve the effect of porcelain skin. It is crumbly, colorless, giving a very light coating. Dense and compact consistencies are not used.
  5. Blush - exclusively natural shades. They are selected most often by hair color. For brunettes - bronze, plum; for blondes - peach, pale pink.
  6. Korean makeup eliminates matte skin without shine. So highlighters and luminizers are welcome, but bronzers can ruin everything.

From foundations you can try: BB-cream cushion with ginseng from Erborian, Dodo Cat from Holika Holika, Face Coating Angel Cushion from Secret Key.

Delicate Radiance Multi Duo by Enprani, Perfect Radiance PP blush by Erborian, Jellousy Cushion Cheek by Enprani.

Eyes and eyebrows

The paradox is that European girls want to do, like Korean women, the latter, on the contrary, tend to apply makeup so that.

  1. Would you like to know how to do "Korean eyes" with makeup? Use only a light eyeshadow palette that is refreshing and produces a doll-like effect.
  2. White shadows are applied to the movable, lower eyelid and even to the eyebrow line.
  3. The outer corner is highlighted with pink shadows.
  4. The white stroke highlights the ciliary lines.
  5. The inside of the eyelids should be made radiant and puffy with the Tear Drop Liner.
  6. A liquid eyeliner is used to highlight the lash line. The pencil is excluded. A thin black arrow runs down the upper eyelid.
  7. The tail of the arrow drops slightly downward, creating a naive image, and connects to the lower eyelash edge.
  8. Korean girls do not fill mucous with liner.
  9. Black mascara with a volume effect in several layers lays on the upper eyelashes, in 1 layer - on the lower. Overhead accessories are welcome.
  10. The eyelashes are carefully combed.
  11. All actions must be performed with special brushes, otherwise the lines will not be clear.

Korean makeup for European eyes is best done with appropriate cosmetics: Glam Shadow Clutch from Enprani, Perfect Strobing from Avant-scene, The Style Silky Triple Perfection Shadow from Missha.

The eyebrows should be carefully plucked, but not too thin, like in Japanese women. If you look closely at contemporary Korean actresses and singers, their eyebrow line is quite wide. The main thing is to make them straight, without a hint of the slightest bend.

It is very important to fix the shape: the eyebrows should be styled with wax or lipstick.

Lips

Dense lipsticks with matte texture and dark shades are at their peak in the USA and Europe. Korean makeup style is promoting the use of lip tints. They are translucent and last all day. In this case, the color can even be acidic and bright pink.

  1. Since the emphasis is mainly on the eyes, Korean lip makeup is modest and inexpressive.
  2. A transparent sheen is sufficient.
  3. If you can't do without lipstick, preference is given to tints and creamy textures.
  4. No pencil strokes or feathers.
  5. Acceptable shades are cream or caramel.
  6. The tips of the lips do not stain at all.
  7. If this is, you need to create the impression that the lips have not yet moved away from the recent kiss, that is, they should be slightly smeared, but bright in color.

Kissed lips effect

Use the following lip tints: Water Tint by Etude House, Voluming Lip Essence by Missha, Tony Tint by Tony Moly.

It is interesting. Plastic surgery is thriving in Korea. Girls go for botox injections during lunch breaks. After graduating from school, many receive a course of cosmetic procedures to correct the shape of the ears, nose or eyelids as a gift.

To do Korean makeup, you need to know additional tricks used by the girls of this sunny eastern country.

  1. The condition of the skin must be perfect. In Korea, women prefer oil make-up, yoga-based facial gymnastics and sheet masks. Their cosmetics must contain green tea, snail mucus, snake venom, ginseng.
  2. Korean women have 2 times more face care products than decorative cosmetics.
  3. It is better to choose a highlighter with a creamy texture rather than crumbly. This will help create the natural glow of porcelain skin.
  4. Be sure to use an eyelash curler.
  5. Instead of blush, you can use lip tints.
  6. Since the Korean make-up eye is distinguished by its intensity, it must be thoroughly washed off. Use a hydrophilic oil for this. You may be intimidated by its oily consistency, but you will get maximum hydration and. Recommended Products: Natural Condition Fresh Cleansing Oil by The Saem, Nature One Oil Clean by Storyderm, Great Pure Cleansing Oil by Mizon.

Remember, if something doesn't work out the first time, be patient and keep learning and practicing - the result will be amazing: gentle, youthful, truly.

A distinctive feature of Asian makeup is the pursuit of naturalness. The world boom in naturalness popularized this style, forcing Russian girls to master the techniques and techniques used by residents of Asian countries, and especially Korea. To learn how to make a Korean make-up, you first need to understand its features and purchase the necessary cosmetics.

Make-up in Korean

So, the main principle is naturalness in everything. Natural beauty and naturalness are at the forefront, not bright accents or trendy colors. This is due to the fact that in Eastern culture purity, youth and purity are considered beautiful, therefore even older ladies tend to look fresh.

Application techniques were formed not only under the influence of cultural traditions, but also taking into account the external characteristics of Korean women. Angular high cheekbones, plump neat lips, a slightly flattened nose with a thin back, slanting eyes and the absence of a fold of the movable eyelid have left their mark on the technology, causing the following characteristic trends:

  • Eye makeup is aimed at visually increasing their size and creating the illusion of an upper eyelid fold;
  • The emphasis is on the lips, but at the same time, shades of glosses and lipsticks are used close to natural colors;
  • The main component of such a make-up is radiant health, smooth, elastic, clean "porcelain" skin;
  • Wide, thick, well-groomed eyebrows;
  • Striving for maximum naturalness and simplicity.

The key advantage of the Asian make-up lies in its versatility. It can be paired with any style of clothing and can be worn at any event, from a party to a state exam. A refined, lightweight, sophisticated bow will gently emphasize the dignity of the face and help create a positive impression.

Necessary cosmetics

Cosmetic products made in Korea have long been the subject of worship of millions of women around the world due to three significant benefits:

  • Unique natural ingredients, thanks to which decorative cosmetics have a caring effect and do not spoil the skin;
  • Persistence throughout the day and no discomfort during use;
  • Affordable prices combined with attractive, striking design and convenient packaging.

If you want to do real Korean makeup, you need to purchase:

  • Primer (base). Koreans have porous oily skin, so most of the primers produced in this country are aimed at masking blemishes, smoothing the skin surface and increasing resistance even with active sebum production. Using a primer will make your makeup look more long-lasting.
  • BB or CC cream is a universal foundation that combines the functions of several makeup products at once (moisturizer, sun protection, foundation and concealer). Most of the Asian products in this category adapt to the tone of the face, so the make-up looks very natural. A fashionable trend is tonal units in a cushion package (a jar that looks like a powder compact with a sponge).
  • Eyeshadow in natural shades. To enhance the natural beauty, it is not enough just to correct skin imperfections. To visually enlarge their eyes, Asians use shadows with reflective particles on the upper eyelid.
  • Black ink, and the more intense and deeper the color, the better. Such a make-up does not allow the use of multi-colored mascara.
  • Black liquid eyeliner for drawing classic arrows that are slightly shorter and thicker than the European version.
  • Mineral powder is light, weightless, giving the skin a radiance and a well-groomed look.

Welcome to my blog, girls! Often we want and try to somehow transform and change our appearance, we try to come up with an unusual, memorable image for ourselves.

Today I will tell you about one of the options for visual change. So our theme today will be Korean makeup, which is a rather unusual way to stand out.

Korean women have all the cosmetics for personal care and make-up many times more affordable financially than Russian girls. We have to give a lot of money to purchase cosmetics.

And taking care of yourself throughout the day, as is customary for Korean women, all the more does not work. Therefore, they look much more well-groomed. But still, we will try to repeat their success and learn how to properly take care of ourselves.

The first point is well-groomed skin

How to do Korean makeup? So the very first thing, I want to say that, in Korean makeup, the main accents are on the eyes and skin. Korean women always take care of themselves and actively take care of their skin condition. Before creating a make-up, carefully cleanse your skin.

Wash your face with cleansers, foams or scrubs, then apply a light day cream to moisturize the epidermis. When it is absorbed, we apply a nourishing cream. Perform such procedures in the morning and evening.

Before going to bed, remove the make-up with a special makeup remover. Applying powder without a base is considered wrong for them, since the skin is very closely monitored.

So, after we have used the cream, we need a tonal foundation, with its help we will hide all the imperfections: redness, and so on.

The base color can be chosen to match your natural skin tone. Or a little lighter. Only now we will powder the skin, applying it in a thin layer.

Blush will definitely come in handy, Korean makeup is unthinkable without them. Bright and unnatural colors will not work here. Do you want to become a real oriental beauty? Then use a natural shade of blush: peach, bronze or plum.

Eyes are big and beautiful

The second main feature of Korean makeup, as we remember, is the eyes. First you need to hide dark circles under the eyes with a foundation, it should be slightly lighter than the one that is applied to the entire face.

Representatives of Asian countries often have an unusual eye shape. Therefore, you have to work hard to properly make up your eyes, hide flaws and show all the advantages. Korean makeup will help emphasize the natural beauty of your face, make your eyes bigger, of course, provided that you do everything right.

In order to visually make the eyes more open, use light shadow colors. For example, beige and sand are used most often. If you want to paint the upper eyelid with several colors, do not forget to blend the joints so that they are as smooth and invisible as possible.

You can bring your eyes. Arrows are often drawn, the line should not be thick and go strictly at the eyelash growth line. You don't have to paint the lower eyelid, or you can apply light shadows.

Asians have their own little secret on how to make their eyes much larger. This method is rather unusual. They created a special glue, with the help of procedures this glue is applied to the eyelids and thereby lifts them. The eyes after such a procedure look like those of an anime heroine.

Completing the image

After completing the two main points in creating Korean makeup, little remains to be done. The finishing touches will be easier.

Brows

They can have different looks, here you can choose any shape and color yourself. The main thing is that they are neat, comb them with a brush and apply the gel. You can shape it with an eyebrow pencil or shadow.

Lips

The main condition here will be not to use bright colors. Naturalness always comes first. Buy lipstick in natural shades or sheer gloss. It will also be superfluous to draw the contours with a pencil. This is due to the fact that Korean women naturally have beautiful lips.

Change, transform, in no case be afraid to experiment! I wish you to succeed in this and always be mysterious and different for your beloved men!

Retreat What are we with our makeup ...? The young man went under the knife to become Korean. How do you like that?

International Women's Day is coming soon. Although this holiday is not celebrated in Korea, they love beautiful girls there, as in the whole world. Do you know which women in South Korea are considered beautiful? If not yet - this material is for you!

It is worth starting with the fact that for the representatives of South Korea, beauty plays a very important role, perhaps even more important than for Europeans and Americans. They are sure that a woman's success, her chances of a good marriage and a high-paying job directly depend on how she looks.

Another reason for such an obsession with beauty is the desire to be better at everything better than everyone. It is competition that pushes them to achieve high results, in everything, both in work and in appearance. They always try to "fit." Therefore, many parents even encourage their children to have plastic surgery, they do not want their children to look less beautiful than those around them.

By the way, for a native of South Korea, it is not at all a shock that when applying for a job, the employer can specify, for example, weight and height and ask if the girl thinks that she should lose weight. Or to clarify if the girl is going to do plastic surgery, for example, of the nose. It is difficult to imagine a similar situation in any other country in the world.

Modern beauty standards are very different even from those that were 50 years ago. Previously, naturalness and naturalness were in fashion. Now, as plastic surgery is gaining popularity in the country, it is not fashionable to be natural at all. Take a look at this snapshot:

(Miss Korea 1960 Song Miicha and Miss Korea 2012 Lee Song Hyo)

Let's take a look at a few of the criteria that a Korean woman would meet as a beauty in our time.

Eyes

The eyes should be large and naive. Most Asian women do not have eyelid folds from birth, the presence of a fold makes the average Korean woman much more attractive in the eyes of others. According to statistics, about 80% of the Korean population under the age of 35 underwent double eyelid surgery.

Korean women have a very simple attitude to plastic surgery, sometimes even frivolous. For them, this is, for example, a good graduation gift for a child. But there are also quite conservative women who cannot decide on a double eyelid operation. For such people, they came up with special double-sided stickers that help hide the extra part of the eyelid and make it double. Sometimes it is not a sticker, but a liquid glue for the eyelid.

The eyebrows should be straight and bright. This shape of the eyebrows makes the face look more naive and cute. Most Korean women do not have much eyebrows, which is why sometimes they are not plucked. They just comb their hair and tint.

Make sure your eyelashes are long. Although by nature, Asian women, like eyebrows, grow rather poorly eyelashes, Korean women put a lot of effort into making their eyelashes look fluffy. Starting from a variety of care products (to accelerate growth) and ending with false eyelashes that sit on glue.

It is not customary to paint the eyes of South Korean women heavily. This is considered bad form. All sorts of nude makeup is in fashion so that the cosmetics are not visible, but only the effect produced by it is noticeable.

Face shape

Most Asians are born with a round face with wide cheekbones. Accordingly, oval faces with a narrow chin are considered attractive. You can often see Korean women posing for photographers, supporting their faces with their hands. So they want to emphasize their graceful chin (usually made artificially).

More recently, a procedure called V-Line surgery has appeared. This is an operation to reshape the chin, giving it a V-shape. She is very popular with Korean female idols. This makes the face fragile and childlike. This kind of surgery is very painful. Moreover, after the operation, the jaws must be fixed in a closed state for six weeks. And it may take 5-6 months for the edema to subside. But the danger and physical pain are seen by Koreans as not so much a price to pay for being pleased with themselves.

Nose

The classic Asian nose is quite wide, with a low set on the bridge of the nose. But now more European noses are in fashion, thin, graceful, with a high bridge.

Many go to the operation, and some girls try to rectify the situation with the help of "sculpting" the face and special narrowing strips and clothespins for the nose.

And no one here is ashamed of plastic surgery. Finding out from a casual friend where she made such a chiseled and chic nose is for Korean women the same as asking where a friend bought a new handbag.

An interesting story, a huge scandal broke out at the Miss Korea beauty pageant in 2012. The winning model Yu Mi was accused of multiple plastic surgeries, and many publications called her victory illegal. Then the model gave an interview in which she did not deny the plastic she had done, but simply explained that she did not make statements that she was born that way; and there are no bans on plastic in the rules. As a result, she retained the crown.

By the way, every year the Miss Korea contest causes a violent reaction when all the participants are introduced to the audience. They are often poorly distinguished from each other and it seems that many of the contestants visited the same plastic surgeon.

Leather

A Korean woman's skin should be white, smooth, clean and radiant. This point is even more important than the previous three. Having bad skin is a sign of bad taste, low social status, and often this is perceived as disrespect for the interlocutor. The roots of this desire go back to ancient times, when the rich did not have to work in the field and therefore did not sunbathe and did not suffer from acne, and the poor worked in the fields - from the sun their skin was covered with a tan, and acne appeared from dirt. This is why Korean cosmetics are so popular lately - they really help keep skin clean. There are also many whitening creams, Europeans remove age spots with such means.

The body should be clean, tattoos are not accepted not only for women, but even for men. For a long time, tattoos have been a symbol of belonging to a particular criminal group. This legacy lives on in the minds of South Koreans. If the younger generation makes a tattoo, when meeting with the elders, they cover up this tattoo. And even on TV, you can see retouching if any of the idols have a tattoo. In order not to offend the oldest viewers with this.

Hair

Korean hair should not be naturally black. And it shouldn't be short either. Hair of any shade is popular, from brown, which helps Korean women to look softer, to unimaginably bright colors (a tribute to the fashion imposed by idols). Necessarily long.

Korean women spend a lot of energy and do not spare money on good hair care.

Regarding the shape - tight curls are not in fashion, young Korean women are worried that such a hairstyle will make them look like their grandmothers. Either straight hair or soft curls are worn.

Try to walk through these six points and try to figure out how beautiful you are by Korean standards?

And finally, we present to your attention an unusual project “100 Years of Beauty”. This is an illustration of what Korean women have looked like over the past century. Look at the changes in hairstyles and makeup, they clearly demonstrate the trends and fashion trends over the past century. Notice how different countries began to develop after the division in 1945, how brightly South Korea went forward.
