Join us as we look into the secrets of achieving the perfect rosy Korean makeup look, exploring the latest trends and essential products to help you create a stunning and memorable appearance for this special Day of love.

Step 1- Hydration is key

Moisturizing your face is the first and the most essential part of Korean beauty. This step protects your skin’s barrier from irritation. Without moisturized skin, your makeup will look patchy and cakey. To prevent this, you can use a selection of products such as sheet masks, serums, ampoules, mists, etc. Luckily, we have just the product for you in our February box. With Nature Republic’s Real Nature Green Tea Face Mask, you can complete this step. This sheet mask rejuvenates your skin with natural botanicals such as green tea, and each mask is soaked in nutrient-rich essence. The application of hydrating sheet masks infused with nourishing ingredients is a staple in Korean skincare, providing an extra boost of moisture.

Step 2- Sun protection

This a very crucial step as the sun can damage your skin easily, and it is almost irreversible. It is advisable for you to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Koreans give importance to sun protection and always include sun care in their makeup regime. K-beauty enthusiasts understand the crucial role of sun protection in achieving and maintaining a flawless complexion. Korean sunscreens are praised for their lightweight formulations, often enriched with nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, snail mucin, and botanical extracts. These sunscreens not only offer an effective shield against damaging UV rays, but they also blend in easily with regular skin care routines to provide the added benefits of hydration and protection. You can add TikTok’s top pick, Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun with Rice and Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++ to your makeup routine.

Step 3- Base makeup

In the realm of Korean beauty, the pursuit of flawless and radiant skin is elevated to an art form through the meticulous application of base makeup. In base makeup, cushions are more popular than BB creams in Korean beauty. The patting motion when using cushion foundations prevents streaking and gives a dewy look. With their natural look, cushion foundations are loved by everyone. Layering is encouraged, allowing individuals to customize coverage according to their preferences. Korean base makeup also places immense importance on achieving a youthful and poreless appearance, often incorporating primers and color correctors to create a smooth canvas. The result is a radiant, seemingly effortless complexion that encapsulates the essence of K-beauty's commitment to both skincare and makeup seamlessly intertwined. To achieve this look, you can use Clio’s Cover Glow Fitting Cushion endorsed by aespa.

Step 4- Concealing the imperfections

Although this step is not mandatory, concealer application is a must if you have blemishes and dark circles you want to cover up. K-beauty enthusiasts understand that achieving the signature luminosity of the "glass skin" look goes beyond foundation, and it is the strategic application of concealers that truly refines and perfects the canvas. Korean concealers are celebrated for their lightweight formulations that effortlessly camouflage imperfections while maintaining a natural, dewy finish. The focus extends beyond concealing blemishes; concealers in K-beauty are amazing at brightening the under-eye area, covering redness, and subtly contouring to enhance facial features. The emphasis is on achieving a well-rested and radiant appearance without the heaviness that can compromise the sought-after youthful glow. You can use the SAEM’s Cover Perfection Tip Concealer to achieve this youthful and dewy glass-skin look.

K-beauty eye makeup is renowned for its emphasis on enhancing the eyes' natural contours and radiating youthful charm. K-beauty eye makeup transcends boundaries, celebrating individuality and inviting enthusiasts to play, experiment, and express their unique beauty narratives. Soft, gradient eyeshadows, often in delicate pastel hues, are frequently employed to create a subtle and dreamy effect, complemented by the meticulous application of eyeliners and mascaras that define and elongate the lashes. Additionally, detailing with glitter or shimmer adds a touch of charm and sophistication, just what we want to achieve for our Valentine’s Day makeup. For this step, we can suggest romand’s Better Than Palette Secret Garden since it has both rosy and earthy colors, including glitters.

Step 6- Brows

Brows hold a special place in the complex canvas of Korean beauty, where careful consideration of detail transforms them into an essential aspect of a smooth and harmonious look. The current trend in K-beauty often leans towards straight-across, thick brows reminiscent of youthful innocence. These brows are carefully groomed to frame the eyes, maintaining a clean and structured appearance. The focus on natural beauty also applies to eyebrows, where the use of feathery, light strokes to define and fill is encouraged rather than the use of harsh or extremely dramatic lines. Brows in K-beauty are not just a component of makeup but a key component that contributes to the overall balance and expression of individual beauty, embodying the culture's commitment to achieving a look that is both refined and effortlessly chic.

Step 7- A rosy blush

Since our topic is rosy makeup, we can not skip blushes on Valentine’s Day. After your base makeup is done, add a healthy glow to your makeup with the help of cream, liquid, or powder blush. In the enchanting world of K-beauty, blush transcends its traditional role, evolving into a transformative tool that imparts a youthful, radiant glow to the complexion. Soft, gradient application on the apples of the cheeks creates a delicate bloom, mimicking the gentle flush that follows a brisk walk or a moment of excitement. Blush in Korean beauty is not just a pop of color but a key player in achieving that dewy complexion, adding a touch of vibrancy to complete the look with an irresistibly fresh and youthful charm. You can use Lilybyred’s Luv Beam Cheek Balm for this step to add that rosiness to your makeup. With its heart-shaped container, this blush is a must on Valentine’s Day.

Step 8- Lips

Lips in Korean beauty serve as a captivating canvas for self-expression, with trends ranging from soft, gradient hues to bolder, statement-making colors. The gradient or "ombre" lip look, popularized in K-beauty, involves a subtle fading of color from the center of the lips outward, creating a natural, just-bitten effect. The base of the Korean lip look is a wide spectrum of tints and lipstick tones, from delicate pinks and corals to vivid reds and oranges. The "popsicle lip" trend emphasizes color in the center and blends it outward, adding a touch of youthful charm. The popularity of lip masks and balms reflects the emphasis on plump, moisturized lips and is consistent with the more significant K-beauty trend towards skin that is well-nourished and looks healthy. You can use lip gloss on top of your gradient lips to give your lips a dewy look. For the last step of our Valentine’s makeup, we can suggest Peripera’s Ink Mood Drop Tint. With its glowy and radiant look, it is the perfect lip product for a date.
