The most POPULAR Korean Beauty Trends! by Zyba Salons

If you’re someone like Rachel Green who buys 30 fashion magazines a month and is always on top of the latest trends then you must be well aware of the Korean beauty trends dominating the marketplace! From a systematic 10 Step Skincare Regimen to glass skin, Korean beauty has always been at the top in helping you achieve a youthful glow and is responsible for some of the best beauty and makeup brands in the world. Korean-beauty definitely sets the tone for what’s trendy in skincare and makeup, and is definitely worthy of your attention. Whether you want to try your hand at colored puppy eyeliner, hot pink lips or try out the blocky brows trend, there are many ways to amp up your look with Korean makeup trends. 

Puppy Eyeliner

This Korean makeup trend aims at  making your eyes seem wide and kinda “doe-eyed.” Puppy eyeliner is trendy, cute, and simple in application making it an ideal choice to switch up your everyday look. This technique involves using a black or brown eyeliner pencil to tightline only the upper lash line and applying a liquid liner that slopes slightly in the downward direction at the ends.

Honey Skin

Korean beauty stresses on skin that appears glowy, plump, and healthy. You may have seen this getting reflected in a number of skin care trends, starting from cloudless skin to glass skin. Honey skin is a growing makeup trend now. Apart from relying completely on skin care products they have also contributed to get the perfect complexion, this trend includes layering a combination of skin and makeup products, like serum, moisturizer, foundation, and highlighter, for the appropriate dewy skin look. This results in making the skin appear supple and glowy.

Bright Blush

One of the most popular Korean makeup trends, the bright blush trend, is perfect for spring and summers. Bold colours like oranges and corals, applied on the upper cheekbones and slightly along the bridge of the nose are involved in this trend. To try this look out for yourself, start by applying a coral blush with your brush using a light hand, and then building it up to your desired hue and intensity as you go along.

Faux Freckles

It’s an easy and trendy option, if you do not have natural freckles, to fake them. All you gotta do is dot waterproof brown eyeliner, along the bridge of your nose and cheeks. To ensure that your this new feature doesn’t smear and smudge, spray with a little bit of setting spray onto them. 

Hangover Blush

Wearing a blush with a sprinkle of faux freckles in coral hues, and the undereye blush gives off a naturally youthful and doll-like appearance.

Brown Beauty

Universally flattering and versatile, the brown colour led to a huge makeup takeover this year. From peanut butter to amber, from espresso to mocha,  the different shades of brown adding natural dimensions and warmth, while portraying elegance and radiance, chocolate and natural tan colour tones, from the soft, smoky shadows defining your eyes to the slight contour and toned brows to highlight the other features, along with popsicle-stained lips and subtle nude gloss, everything has been started by the Koreans.

Dewy Eyes

The Dewy-eyed beauty trend includes a glossy layer of shimmer on the lids to give them a wet look and elevate your eyeshadow game with an instant hint of glamour without looking overdone. The look is often finished off with a simple matte lip and light coral blush.

Rhinestone Ready

The Euphoria-effect or glittery makeup was a rage last year and is still going strong. The looks of all the rhinestones, crystals and sparkly stones are used to decorate the faces of K-Pop. Whether it's in the form of tiny glittering pearls dotted on lips or brows or silver-plated tiny specks that highlight the cheekbones or full-on holographic lids, this glimmering makeup trend draws light to the emerging face makeup trends. 

Whisper or Thin Lashes

This Twiggy-inspired trend is known for toning down the drama of the '60s era by thinning and elongating the top and bottom lashes, and is finished with a flawless curl to give somewhat less voluminous and more flirtatious lashes. Koreans are highly inclined towards doll-like features with a fresh, innocent glow. 

Classic Blue Hair

Classic blue or a deep cobalt shade is high in trend and it makes for a stunning hair colour that is both chic and has an added quirkiness to it. 

Matte Hot Pink Lips

Matte lips is quite a hyped trend at the moment. Bigger, voluminous and fuller looking lips have been more desired lately. In addition to getting fillers to achieve it, lips with velvety matte lipstick in a vibrant hot-pink hue are high in trend.

Completely Coral

As you know coral is especially flattering on the complexions of Koreans. Coral options for blush, eye shadow, and lipstick are, as you will notice, always available, no matter where you're shopping it from. Living Coral hair is even a trend. People now aren't afraid to go completely coral with their makeup, hair, nails, etc. 

Koreans never fail to come up with interesting skin care and makeup trends which get popular and appreciated almost instantly. Make sure to play with these trends to elevate your everyday look.
