KOREAN BEAUTY



We tend to neglect certain beauty trends if they aren't coming from the West. If the celebrities that are always getting shown aren't wearing a certain trend, we don't tend to wear it either.
Over in South Korea, there are many beauty trends we tend to not see. Gradient lips, doll like cheeks and copper toned hair are some that I've noticed.  It's all very natural and romantic and it's much more attractive to me than any other beauty trends I've seen recently. So, let's see how we can all achieve this flirty look....

MAKEUP:

Dewy skin, glossy eyes with simple liquid eyeliner, gradient lips and coral cheeks is what to aim for.
You basically want to look like this Korean model....




If you want a good makeup tutorial for this kind of look I recommend, Lisa Eldridge. She does makeup for big stars like Kiera Knightley and Kate Winslet. She gives great advice on products and goes into real detail with the steps to achieving this look. With this look you really want to aim for peachy, coral and pinky tones of makeup.



But it's always good to experiment yourself as well.


HAIR:

The hair trend in Korea right now is a gingery tone, either long and wavy or short in a bob. Both are flattering and very fashionable, it just depends on your preference.

If you want to achieve the natural waves, here is also a great Youtube video on how to achieve heatless waves.....



STYLE:

So finally comes style, and there are a lot of different trends in South Korea. It's very similar to the West but maybe a bit more simple and bold. The BEST site I've found was recommended to me by my good and VERY fashionable friend, Mira. She herself is from Seoul and apparently any trend this website shows is what's "in" right now. The site is called StyleNanda. Here's the link and some pictures....http://en.stylenanda.com/

 Basically, everyone just looks really cool and slightly hipster....








GOOD LUCK!
