The brilliant celebrity makeup artist from Korea's fashion industry recently visited Taiwan to share exclusive makeup techniques. Let’s explore how to create a flawless, star-worthy look! These tips not only help your makeup last longer but also give you a naturally radiant glow. Check out the expert tricks below!
◆ Apply foundation with fingers for a natural glow
The makeup artist explained that while full-face dewy skin was once trendy, today’s look focuses more on a natural, dimensional glow. She suggests using the warmth of your fingers to apply foundation for better absorption and enhanced radiance. Simply place the foundation on your palm and gently spread it with your fingertips for a beautiful finish.
◆ Finger foundation technique
The artist’s unique method involves using three fingers to lightly spread the foundation, then pressing it into the skin with warmth. Finally, use your fingertips to pat quickly, creating a radiant glow more striking than makeup sponges or brushes can achieve.
◆ Handling foundation on hairline and contours
The artist emphasized that foundation should be applied sparingly to the hairline and facial contours to avoid an unnatural look. She recommends applying foundation to the center of the face and then gently pressing the edges with your fingers for a more dimensional appearance.

◆ The art of lip blending
Want that Korean idol-style smiling lip? The artist advises applying lip color to the inner part of the lips and blending it outward with an eyeshadow brush for a watercolor-like gradient effect. This trendy technique gives a natural, soft look to your lips.
◆ Smiling line enhancement
Using a concealer brush to subtly highlight the area below the corners of your lips can visually lift them, giving a youthful, smiling effect. This small trick adds a clean and dimensional look to your lip makeup.
◆ Perfect setting strategy
For setting makeup, the artist suggests avoiding powdering the center of the cheeks and forehead. Instead, lightly dust powder along the hairline, sides of the nose, and chin—areas that don’t need a glow. This enhances the luminosity of your cheeks and forehead while giving a naturally lit-from-within effect on camera.
