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 đ°
Wrapping Mask
SM Entertainment
Dewy cheeks are all the rage. Although, we now have K-beauty blushes and highlighters to replicate that ânight skincare routineâ glow, it ainât enough in k-makeup artistsâ minds. Thatâs where the âwrapping mask + makeupâ innovation came in.Â
The Medicube Wrapping Mask is infused with collagen, while it creates a film to literally tighten up your skinâs elasticity - this includes large pores! But it also is the perfect base for that highlighter sheen ⨠Apply the mask, get skincare goodness, and look as luminous as ever!Â

Weâve see how much blush placement has changed for K-pop idols. Instead of applying blush right on the apples, itâs right under the eyes. This gives a very innocent and cute charm to any makeup look.
But we canât 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 đ§ââď¸ Lilybyredâs Glow Veil in Holy Beam is perfect for this! Itâs 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 doesnât 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? The Rom&nd Better Than Cheek blushes. Trust me - upon first swatch they appear quite sheer, but on the cheeks itâs a different story. I dare to say that this is the perfect âsoft focus blushâ formula; itâs also a go-to choice for K-makeup artists đÂ
Smokey Eyes
I thought smokey eyes werenât coming back for awhile but K-pop idols are proving me otherwise! Contrasting with the natural peach eyeshadow looks, weâve got cool-toned smokey eyes. Honestly, smokey eyes seem pretty overwhelming but try smoking out just the eyeliner - thatâs both the wing and lower lash line.Â
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!Â
