The key to an ulzzang makeup is to look natural, cute and innocent. To achieve this goal you must follow the tups on how to be an ulzzang but of course men can do it too!
Step 1: Circle lenses are essential if you want to achieve that ulzzang look. Whether you naturally have big eyes or not, most ulzzangs enhance their eyes with circle lenses to give them those innocent, dolly-ish look. Brands such as Geo, Neo, Mimi are just some of the most well known brands made in Korea. It gives your eyes that extra pop of colour and inner cuteness :3
Colours such as neutral browns, black and greys are most common among ulzzangs~
Step 2: You may have noticed that the number one most important thing that an ulzzang all have in common is their flawless skin. I don't know how they do it, but Korean's in general always have beautiful, soft looking, flawless skin. It's probably the power of makeup and BB Creams but still, to look after your skin is a must! I read somewhere that the average Korean women applies around 15-20 products to their face everyday before leaving their house! However, if you are like me and need to cover some redness or even out your skin tone then apply some BB Cream. Depending on which one you chose to use, it can either give you a dewy or matte finish. Dewy finishes are the most common as it gives your face that healthy glow.
Step 3: Highlight. Ever noticed how ulzzangs look like they have a tall nose bridge? 99.9% of the time reasons that they highlight their nose to give it that illusion. If you haven't noticed but most asians tend to have a lower nose bridge compared to non-asians. I don't know why that is but that's just how it is. So not only do ulzzangs tend to highlight their nose bridge with a sheer white colour but majority of asians do this as well as it makes your nose look more lenient and elegant. Other features that are also highlighted are the middle of the forehead, top of you cheeks, the cupid's bow and your chin. Also to give the eyes that extra pop of colour and to open up the eyes more, ulzzangs use a shimmering pearl shadow stick and apply it along under their eyes as well as the inner tear duct.
Step 4: In my opinion the eyebrows are one the most prominent features of the face. Not only does it shape your face, but with an un-groomed brow it can make you look tired, dull or even sad. And no one wants that, right? Majority of Koreans have straight, thick brows and the reason being is that it makes you appear younger looking as well as innocent.
Step 5: Apply
eyeliner and extending it out slightly only on the top lids to create a
natural look. But if you like a smokier eye you can apply it on your
bottom lashes as well and connect it to the top liner, this will
elongate your eyes. For an even more natural look, apply your eyeliner
as thin as possible and use brown eye shadow to lightly wing out your
liner as well as smoke out the edges.
Step 6: Apply mascara and natural looking lashes (if you need them). Very self explanatory :3
Step 7: Blush blush blush~ Whether its rosy, pink, or orange alot of ulzzangs use blush to give them an even more innocent look.
Step 8: And
lastly, ever notice how in kdramas the females always have pretty lips?
They don't look like they are wearing any lipstick so you assume it is
their natural lip colour. But the secret is Lip Tints! Not only does it
look super natural but is long lasting. And to top it off you can add
some clear gloss on top~
