Korean makeup with a natural, lovely and clear style is currently a spreading trend that is extremely popular with young people. Especially in recent years, natural makeup has gradually been applied a lot in daily activities. But to properly implement this makeup style, not everyone can grasp it. So today, we will introduce you to Korean makeup steps from A to Z right in this article, let’s refer!
Steps to create the perfect background layer
Before creating facial features according to Korean makeup , you first need to have a smooth and flawless foundation. Because Koreans are quite fond of shiny skin, they will follow these steps:
Clean skin
The first “step” in the makeup process is to clean the skin. As a girl, in order to be beautiful full-time, skin care is a daily necessity. It is not only when you apply makeup that you wash your face wash, exfoliate your skin, etc., but you need to take care of your skin every day. When your facial skin is beautiful, you can skip a few other makeup steps.
Use rose water
As a product that has the ability to moisturize the skin and clean the skin, with this 2-in-1 ability, rose water is sold in many places, you can even make your own at home. Lightly apply rose water on the surface of the skin, using your fingers to gently tap all over the face so that the water is more absorbed into the skin.
Don’t forget the cream layer
People skip this step, but to have a really moist foundation, you need to apply moisturizer. This step will help provide the necessary nutrients, hydrate the skin and make the skin smoother. This is one of the best makeup tips, don’t miss it! Many people have an additional step of applying a mask before using the cream. This helps the skin to have the most necessary nutrients and moisture, so Korean-style makeup will also be easier and more effective. Refer to more Korean makeup classes on the Internet to find the right way to take care of your skin.
Sunscreen is indispensable
Sunscreen is a cosmetic that can be used even at home, not just when you are on the road, because the light from electronic devices also affects your skin.
A thin layer of sunscreen will protect your skin from external damage. Some sunscreens also have the ability to slightly lift the tone, giving the skin a healthy shine, which is very suitable for this light makeup style.
Create a gentle background
In light makeup, people will not use thick foundation, but instead a gentle Cushion. For Korean style, products with too thick properties, poor solubility, easy to stick on the skin will not be prioritized for use, instead cushion. Cushion contains water activity, so it helps to make the face more plump, create a healthy shine due to the skin, easy to use and high color fastness. Women love it because of its convenience and high color fastness. Should choose a Cushion of the same color or 1 tone lighter than the skin. It will help you have a very light and natural foundation, without having a very different skin color when compared to other skin areas, especially on the neck.
In addition to the cushion, if you can find a foundation that is loose, easy to spread on the face, it can still be used, typically CC cream, BB cream. But that’s when you have a skin with few defects, because anyway, the texture of the cream has the common characteristics of causing stickiness, skin tightness and quite difficult to spread.
For those of you with dry skin, with many defects, in addition to the cushion, you also need to have a primer before applying the foundation! Another important note with those skins, please spread it lightly on the face by using a makeup cotton, the sponge presses one at a time on the skin, absolutely do not rub!
When doing Korean makeup or makeup in other styles, remember to also apply foundation for the neck. Having different facial and neck skin will look very different and not natural at all.
Concealer
In any makeup style, concealer is an essential step. It helps you to fly away the places that need to be covered on the face, especially dark circles under the eyes, uneven skin tone at the corners of the lips, two sides of the nose, dark spots and freckles. However, for this cute and gentle makeup look, use a moderate amount for a natural look! Currently on the market, there are many types of Cushions that have both the ability to conceal slight imperfections, which are very suitable for this natural makeup look . You should learn more and buy yourself an “em” to perform natural makeup !

Powder
It must be affirmed that, powder for makeup is very necessary. Depending on the type of powder, the powder will help your skin control oil (oily skin), provide a certain amount of moisture (dry skin). It also helps your foundation not to tone down too quickly and protects your skin from dust.
Powders that lift or are too thick will not suit a light makeup look, so check out these natural look products. It is best to choose a type that is able to control oil so that the makeup can last longer.
You should choose the most suitable type for your skin and spread it gently and evenly.
Standard Korean style makeup
After creating a really glossy, smooth and natural foundation, you will start the Korean makeup steps ! Similar to the background, everything is very gentle to bring the most natural.
Shaping and drawing eyebrows
Brown eyebrows with horizontal shape are the most popular style today. You can also choose light brown or dark brown based on your hair color. The steps to follow Korean makeup are as follows:
- Step 1 : Create an eyebrow shape according to the proportions of the face. If you have a chubby face, draw a pair of eyebrows that are a little smaller and thinner. And vice versa for small faces, larger eyebrows will help the overall look more even.
- Step 2 : Use brown color along with eyebrow color to fill the inner part. You should note that it is bold at the end and lighter at the top of the eyebrows.
- Step 3 : Use eyebrow mascara of the same color to re-brow the eyebrows, helping to make the hairs more sticky and evenly colored.
A small note before drawing eyebrows, is to remember to trim your eyebrows neatly and according to the mold. Having an uneven eyebrow will make the Korean make-up no longer as gentle and lovely as desired. If you still don’t know how to trim properly, try drawing the mold first, then use scissors to trim the strands that are too long and then use tweezers or a razor to remove the excess outside the mold.
Eyeshadow color suitable for Korean makeup
– Primer: To have a beautiful, attractive, and standard color tone eyes, it is necessary to have a primer specifically for the eyes. Primer has the ability to moisturize the eye area (the skin is very vulnerable), fade dark circles, fill in areas with wrinkles and grooves. In particular, the primer helps your eyeshadow color become clearer and also lasts longer.
In Korean natural makeup , people often prefer bright eye colors, combined with bling bling. Eye color is always towards dynamism and youth but still no less attractive. You can choose orange, peach, earth orange or pink, peach, and earthy pink tones for eyeshadow. These are extremely easy tones to coordinate with many different outfits. For natural eye makeup , you should use the lightest shade in the eyeshadow palette to cover the entire upper and lower eyelids. Then use a slightly darker but the same tone to highlight ⅔ of the upper and lower eyelids. Finally, add a little shimmer in the middle of the upper eyelid, the lower eyelid and the top of the eye. So you have completed the natural makeup style eyeshadow.
Eyeliner creates depth
The next step in a natural makeup look is eyeliner. For the eyes to have depth but still be natural, you should use brown eyeliner, draw a thin line close to the base of the eyelashes and only slightly slanted at the tail. If the eyeliner is too thick and bold, the Korean makeup style will no longer be natural. A small tip when applying eyeliner according to Korean makeup , is to use a pencil to draw a thin line close to the lash line. Then just a little slant at the rear. If your eyes are big enough, you don’t need to draw more eyes.
Mascara for curled eyelashes
In natural makeup , long and curled eyelashes are very important. So mascara is the next step. Curl your lashes first with an eyelash curler, then use a thick, long mascara to cover the top and bottom lashes. At this time, your eyes will have more depth and sparkle.
When you are not familiar with curling your eyelashes as well as struggling to know how to curl your eyelashes so that they are really curled, here is a reference:
- Step 1: Use baby powder for eyelashes so that when applying eyelashes, they do not stick together
- Step 2: Turn your eyes downward about 45 degrees
- Step 3: Clip your lashes in order: root, middle, and tip
- Step 4: Curl your eyelashes with mascara
There are also mascara lines that lengthen, thicken and loosen lashes. This mascara is very suitable for Korean makeup and used when learning how to apply makeup every day.
To do light makeup , of course a bright rosy cheeks make you look cuter and cuter. You should choose a gentle blush, pink and orange tones to help the makeup look natural but still fresh and youthful. Girls with light skin tones, blush colors like peach blossom, coral orange will look good; With a natural yellow skin tone, choose coral pink!
For Korean makeup , you should apply blush from both cheeks and across the bridge of the nose to create a more natural feel. One more important note, you should not be greedy for blush color, apply the powder very lightly and evenly on the cheeks, apply each layer evenly and only add more if it is not bold enough! Once you have “faced” the whole piece of blush on your face, you have changed to another makeup style.
For a more natural blush, use a little powder on the tip of the nose and chin. At this point, you will have a face like a very cute shy girl.

Step 5: Apply lipstick.
Of course, Korean makeup also requires lipstick. In addition, add a little lip gloss to make the lips more attractive.
