Save Time On Your Beauty Routine With These K-Beauty Tips!
Looking with makeup on takes time. You could spend an hour or two for makeup and that means you'll have to wakeup early for it. Here are K-beauty tips that are quick and effective.
Get dewy skin like Yoona!
#1 DITCH THE BRUSHES
The BB Cushion makes its appearance yet again. Don’t be quick to dismiss this almost overly featured beauty tool, it’s a real time-saver on sluggish mornings. You won’t be wasting time blending out brush lines or picking up bristles that have stuck to your face. Just pat and go!
Pick up the Innisfree Water Glow Cushion for a luminous glow, or the Long Wear Cushion if you need more oil control.
Alternatively, if you prefer a matte finish, use a sponge and opt for a powder foundation like K-Beauty guru Pony. You can also apply everything with your fingers – works better sometimes!

#2 SKINCARE AND MAKEUP IN ONE STEP
If you’re really pressed for time, follow this beauty tip from Korean Beauty programme Get it Beauty by mixing your moisturiser, sunscreen, foundation and an illuminating base or highlighter together. Mix and apply them all at once – super quick!
#3 USE A BROW PENCIL
Yes, there are lots of brow products in the market now - wax, powder, liquid brow pens and gels – but for quick application, the brow pencil is the way to go.
Try Etude House’s Play 101 Pencils in #42 or #49 so they can double as eyeliners too.
#4 USE PENCIL EYELINERS
The look of pencil eyeliner that has been applied quickly is much more forgiving than horribly drawn liquid eyeliner. The smudging from pencil liners is also a lot easier to clean off as compared to gel eyeliners, which can sometimes be very difficult to remove, even if it’s just a tiny smudge on the crease.
#5 STICK WITH ONE EYESHADOW COLOUR OR PALETTE
Ladies, if you’re not trying out eyeshadow, we urge you to start experimenting in 2015. We don’t mean complicated smoky eyes, but single shadows blended up to the crease line – a super quick and easy way to brighten up the eyes.
#6 GLOSSY LIPS
Ever wondered how K-Starlets manage to flaunt such moisturised looking lips even after covering them with concealer? It’s because a glossy tint is usually layered over to plump and blur lip lines, improving the look of chapped lips. Glossy lip products are usually more moisturising than their satin or velvet finish counterparts, too.

#7 USE A STICK CONCEALER
Stick concealers and highlighters are the most convenient tools to quickly hide imperfections.
The right ones are precise and pigmented like The Face Shop’s new Phytogenic Infinite Ex Concealer Duo. Plus, you can also use the liquid concealer side for flaky acne scars, or when you have slightly more time for blending.
