Swirlster Picks Makeup Products To Ace Korean Beauty Trends For You

Rock The Trendiest Korean Makeup For A Summer Glam

1. Mirror Skin

Well, you might have heard about glass skin, but mirror skin makes its grand debut. Similar to the previous trends, mirror skin also aims to give you a naturally plump, glowing and dewy finish, which is similar to the reflective surface of the mirror. But instead of using makeup or highlighter, this trend aims to achieve this look using just skincare products. Isn't that exciting? However, it can be amped up too with a little help from a dewy foundation or concealer too.

2. Gradient Lipstick

Korean girls have been sporting gradient lipstick for some time now. It's like a soft bloom of colour from the centre of the mouth, the end result is a coquettishly innocent and surprisingly flattering look. This modest bit of pigmented lip can be pretty versatile, as well as a fresh alternative to a full lip of colour.

3. Mauve Eyes

Want to add a punch of unexpected colour to your makeup look? Rock a monochromatic mauve makeup look. The bold yet subdued pink makes you look all dreamy. This shade is very grungy and reminiscent of the '90s and we are, after all, seeing a resurgence of that '90s vibe in 2021.

4. Taupe Eye Shadow

Taupe eyeshadows are some of the most underrated eye shadows that look beautiful on the eyes. With the 'no makeup' makeup look trending all over, taupe eyeshadows have successfully made their way. A swipe of taupe on your lids can give you an effortless smokey eye effect that looks warm and lived-in and helps you pull off soft, romantic makeup looks.

5. Rosy Cheeks

Now, the style of blush spreads from the cheeks to the back of the eyes, topped with freckles or a light touch on the tip of the nose. Opt for youthful blushes that give a distinct look.
