Look Healthier, Younger, and Glowing with these K-Beauty Makeup Tips

According to Korean makeup artists, one of the best ways to attract attention and look beautiful is to apply blush correctly.

There are many makeup tips that K-pop idols use to stand out from the crowd. But it's a new blusher feature that completes their appearance.

One of the reasons your favorite artists have a rosy complexion and excellent cheek contouring is that they know how to apply blush correctly.

Here are the best tips for looking healthier, younger, and glowing like your favorite K-pop idols.

1. Know your skin type.

Thanks to K-beauty technology, it's possible to have different blushers, including liquid or gel, cream, powder, and cushion blush. Choosing which blusher is best for your skin type is vital to achieving a flawless look.

If you have normal or combination skin, prefer creamy formulas to give skin a younger look. For those with dry skin, it's recommended to apply powder formulas, such as ROMAND Better Than Cheek, instead of creams and liquids as they can accentuate the look of dryness.

2. Blush isn't only for the cheeks.

According to K-beauty, makeup artists' blush isn't only for the cheeks. It's vital to apply the colour on the apples of your cheeks and on the temples to achieve a natural highlight. The idea is that your whole face has a glowing appearance. Don't forget to add blush to the bridge of your nose to create a sophisticated, younger look.

3. Create a natural-looking glow.

Most K-pop idols have a healthy, natural glow. They achieve this by applying a little bit of colour on the apples of the cheeks and rubbing it out in circular motions. They also apply blush two centimeters separated from the nose and the bottom of the eyes to create a balanced look.

Their preferred colour to achieve this natural-looking glow is a beautiful, rosy pink, like PK02 Raspberry from A'PIEU Juicy-Pang Water Blusher. This liquid blusher is easily blendable, and it's perfect for drier skin types.

We love A'PIEU Juicy-Pang Water Blusher because adding a dash of color or building it up to a stronger tone is possible.

4. Prepare the skin.

It's vital to create a smooth base to apply blush. Prepare the skin by cleansing, toning, and moisturising the skin. Then use a top-quality primer, like HEIMISH Artless Glow Base, to ensure an even texture.

Don't forget to apply foundation and concealer before using your favorite blush. To achieve a more natural look, you can try using a BB cream, such as MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF42 PA+++.

MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF42 PA+++ contains moisturising, soothing, and firming ingredients. It comes in five colours that complement a broad range of skin colours. This BB cream is terrific for concealing blemishes and dark spots.

5. Find the perfect shade.

Make sure to find the perfect shade for your skin tone. For instance, if you have fair skin, look for pale pinks. For those with medium skin tones, excellent options are pink or peach blush. You can try Nude Peach from 3CE Mood Recipe Face Blush.

People with medium to dark skin tones choose reds, corals, or hot pinks, like Girlish Red from 3CE Blush Cushion.

It's imperative to select a shade that looks natural on the skin. Don't forget to analyze your skin's undertone to look gorgeous.

6. Use the right brush.

One of K-pop idols' best-kept secrets is using the right blush brush to look amazing. Blush brushes must be soft and versatile from natural or vegan hair to blend the colour effortlessly. Keep in mind that some types of blush brushes can pick up too much blush making your face look unnatural.

Choose a loose brush to ensure you're picking the right amount of colour.

7. Use foundation.

If you apply too much blush, avoid using a makeup remover and instead apply a little bit of liquid foundation like ETUDE HOUSE Double Lasting Foundation to diminish the colour.

Carefully grab a wet makeup sponge and distribute the foundation over your cheeks. This technique will bring down the colour while keeping your cheeks glowing.

Follow the above tips if you want to look healthier, younger, and glowing like your favorite K-pop idols!
