K-Beauty has definitely taken over the world as everyone races to get that dewy glass skin look, or naturally cutesy look! After spending our time watching so many K-Dramas and watching them evolve, we realised that their makeup looks are evolving as well. We know for sure that most of us, including us at Beauty Insider, were rushing to binge-watch True Beauty when it first came out! Not only did it show us all the true power of makeup, but it was a comedic watch as well.

It’s no wonder that many people would want to get back into makeup after witnessing the cool and natural looks they portrayed. What’s more, is that K-Beauty is significantly different from Western makeup looks. Where Westerners seek bold and sexy looks. K-Beauty aims for makeup looks that are cute and innocent! So, here are a few eyeshadow palettes that you might want to get ahold of ASAP! 

Korean Makeup Look

Instead of arched brows and full red lips, Korean makeup looks lean more towards a soft glam look! Koreans are more drawn towards natural looks that make their skin glow rather than looking matte. So, lip tints are extremely popular in K-Beauty as they are able to create a gradient look on the lips. What’s more, Korean makeup trends favour straight brows, over arched brows to give off that innocent look. Soft pinks are also popular colours of choice for Koreans when it comes to eyeshadow colours. Not only does it match your rosy pink cheeks, but it can also pull the whole look together!
