This post is inspired by my trip to Korea late last year. I found the look that most girls sported there to be really fresh and decided to try my hand at it. Check it out and see if any of these trends pique your interest.
KOREAN MAKEUP TRENDS IN 2014/2015
(1) Straight brows - Gives a youthful look. Brows are also heftier, yet well-groomed.
(2) Light/warm toned eyelids - Popular shades are peaches, oranges, and warm neutrals
(3) Perfect Skin - This is the land that birthed the BB cream; of course skin needs to be perfect! Skin is bright, "dewy" (makeup buzzword FTW) and pores blurred.
(4) Light blush/no contour - Popular shades include light peaches, pinks, and lilacs.
(5) Gradient Lip - This is the lip look of the moment due to its youthfulness (again). Who has perfectly manicured lip liner / lipstick in their teens? No one. Apparently the harsh edges and the loud colors age you. This lip makes you look like you've just enjoyed a strawberry lollipop. Can be recreated with red, pink, and orange tones.
