The three regions around your eyes are called the holy trinity because they can provide your eyes with more depth once you apply makeup. To do this, choose a darker eye shadow shade and use it over the outer corner of your eyelid—following a triangle shape pointed outwards. Remember to tap off any excess eyeshadow before application to avoid harsh lines. Follow the steps for the outer corner of your lower lash and the inner core of your eyelid.

5. Eyeliners are essential.

To nail the Korean eye makeup, you have to up your eyeliner game. One of the trendiest eye makeup styles was the “puppy eyes.” There’s no specific type of eyeliner required to make this happen, but Koreans often use pencil eyeliners to create softer lines. You can do numerous eyeliner styles, but we recommend you try the “puppy eye” trend if you are aiming for a legit Korean look.

To achieve this innocent look, start to apply your eyeliner on the upper lash line, then flick it downwards while extending it outward from your eyes slightly. It is the most uncomplicated technique that will help you achieve this look quickly. If you are a total beginner, we recommend you try 3CE Super Slim Pen Eye Liner. It comes with fine bristles that make it easier to apply, even for newbies.

Also, do not forget your mascara if your lashes need more length, curl, and volume.

6. Don’t forget your eyebrows.

Your eyebrows are essential in shaping your face. If it is too thin, your face may look somehow odd, while having thick eyebrows will do a beautiful balance. Koreans are into straight-shaped brows that make them look youthful and innocent. If you want to have the same look, we recommend you go for straight eyebrows.
