Korean culture has taken the world over by storm because of its unique approach to all aspects of life from beauty secrets to entertainment and even food (anyone suddenly craving tteokbokki?). But their ever-so-flawless skin goals and their soft glam makeup are what caught our eyes at BB, being the obsessive makeup fundis we are. So here are some Korean makeup ideas that you can incorporate into your daily makeup routine to look all UwU! Let's dive in.
01Dog eyeliner for Doe-eyes

All you gotta do is wing your eyeliner slightly lower to your lash line and then apply a nude shade that is slightly darker to your skin tone below your eyes (slightly away from the waterline) to give a bigger eye effect. For a doll-eyed look, you can always use white liner on your waterline.
02Very Berry lips

All you gotta do is keep your makeup minimal with some blush and a tightly lined eyeliner. Apply berry shade lipstick to the centre of your lips and blend it outwards and Voila! BB Pick: Lakmé 9 To 5 Primer + Matte Lipstick - Berry Base
03Peach(y) blush

Use a peach blush next time you're doing your makeup for a minimal sunkissed peachy look that is sure to amp up your makeup game. BB Pick: Lakmé 9To5 Pure Rouge Blusher
04The statement red lips

But what makes their statement red lips stand out is the minimal yet glass skin look that comes along with it. So to achieve this look, moisturise the skin well before applying foundation. For that glossy skin, use an illuminating moisturiser like the Lakmé Lumi Skin Cream underneath your base. Then apply the red lipstick of your choice. To make your lips stand out more, you can always use a darker shade of foundation around your lips.
05Minimal eyeshadow

Take a matte eyeshadow of your choice and blend it onto your lids and finish off with some liner if you wish. On days you're feeling fancy, you can trade in the matte shadow for a pink or champagne shimmer. It's darn cute and takes a few seconds!
