You heard it here first! These are the MOST recent k-makeup trends spotted. Not only that, we share what K-beauty products to use. Take notes, Beauties š°
Wrapping Mask
SM Entertainment
Dewy cheeks are all the rage. Although, we now have K-beauty blushes and highlighters to replicate that ānight skincare routineā glow, it aināt enough in k-makeup artistsā minds. Thatās where the āwrapping mask + makeupā innovation came in.Ā
The Medicube Wrapping Mask is infused with collagen, while it creates a film to literally tighten up your skinās elasticity - this includes large pores! But it also is the perfect base for that highlighter sheen āØ Apply the mask, get skincare goodness, and look as luminous as ever!Ā

Weāve see how much blush placement has changed for K-pop idols. Instead of applying blush right on the apples, itās right under the eyes. This gives a very innocent and cute charm to any makeup look.
But we canāt forget about more dewiness! Enter highlighters that have a pink sheen to them. Focus the highlighter right under your eyes for total iridescent fairy-vibes š§āāļø Lilybyredās Glow Veil in Holy Beam is perfect for this! Itās also a cream formula, making it super easy to work with.
Soft Focus Blush

Yes, even with pinklighter, blush is still a huge trend! Somehow when K-pop idols pull it off, it doesnāt look too overwhelming. The key here is in the formula. Look for blushes that are milled so finely, and also have a blur out imperfections-effect.
My personal favourite? TheĀ Rom&nd Better Than Cheek blushes. Trust me - upon first swatch they appear quite sheer, but on the cheeks itās a different story. I dare to say that this is the perfect āsoft focus blushā formula; itās also a go-to choice for K-makeup artists šĀ
Smokey Eyes
I thought smokey eyes werenāt coming back for awhile but K-pop idols are proving me otherwise! Contrasting with the natural peach eyeshadow looks, weāve got cool-toned smokey eyes. Honestly, smokey eyes seem pretty overwhelming but try smoking out just the eyeliner - thatās both the wing and lower lash line.Ā
Gel eyeliners are the best way to ace this trend! They give you the time to smoke it out with a brush and if you find the right liner, these can LAST. The COSNORI Gel Eyeliner is a recent makeup arrival, but I've been switching to this. The smudge-proof aspect was shocking!Ā
