Hello Beauties!
I've been stumbling upon Asian makeup a lot. I think I was mostly seeing Korean makeup, but because I'm not sure, I just call this Asian inspired makeup. And because it is so fresh, glowy and bright, it's perfect for spring. It's also extremely easy, since I think it's the makeup in which I used the least products, ever.
Eyes are super simple. I put a primer all over the lid and then I used some face liquid highlighter on top, but it's so subtle that you can't even see it. I used liquid liner to do the wing. Usually my winged liner goes a bit up, but in this case I did the line a bit straight out. I also did it really thin, close to the lash line. I put a lot of mascara to define the lashes. Especially upper ones. I left my brows softer by using powder instead of pencil.
Korean makeup lipsticks are so colorful that my heart starts to sing, when I see all those pretty shades. So of course I chose bright orange shade, which is also my new edition from Asian market. I'll do a separate review for most of the products I used in this makeup look.
As far as I figured out, Asian makeup is all about the skin. The skin is very natural looking, very glowy and shiny. I decided to use medium coverage moisturizing foundation all over the skin. Then I used highlighter in a stick form and used it all over my cheeks, on top of my brows (where the arch is), nose, cupids bow and highest point of the chin. No powder, bronzer or contour whatsoever. I did use creamy concealer to just conceal any redness and a little under the eyes. On the cheeks I just used the same lipstick I used on the lips. I didn't go as intense, as I saw on some photos, because well, I had to go out :).
I wanted to show you how glowy my skin looked under the sunlight.
In my opinion this is an extremely easy and fast makeup, that looks pretty natural with a pop of color on the lips. It's also perfect for spring and you can totally adept the shades to suit you. I couldn't stop drooling over some of the Asian makeup and I must say I loved how glowy all of the makeup looked. I know I can't pull it of always, because my skin tends to get pretty oily on my T-zone, but I sure loved how it looked like.
