6 Unique Beauty Lessons To Learn From Popular K-Drama Characters

There’s Nothing As Cheat Days When It Comes To Skincare

As one of South Korea’s top (fictional) business woman in the beauty sector, Yoon-Seri from the popular K-drama Crash Landing On You knows the importance of following a stellar skincare routine. Even when stranded in a village in North Korea, the heiress leaves no stone unturned to stick to her beauty routine. Thanks to the kind military officer, she ends up getting a few smuggled skincare products from across the border. One of her faves is Manyo Factory Bifida Biome Complex Ampoule which penetrates deep into the skin to give a juicy glow. The star also makes a case for applying five to six drops of serum over the neck to keep it radiant and smoother.

Your Neck Needs TLC Too

There’s a lot to learn from Secretary Kim of What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim. She follows a diligent night time skincare routine to keep her skin plump and radiant. Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Duo scores the top spot among her faves. Our fellow skincare-loving queens also won’t wanna miss the centuries-old Korean practice of making the most of skincare products – the technique involves patting the serum onto the skin to help it penetrate better and promote blood flow to activate the cells.

High-Tech Tools Are Worth The Splurge

While Yoon Se-ri was yearning for scented candles while being stranded in North Korea, once she return to the comfort of her home, the heiress makes a beeline for her facial massagers. If you’ve been thinking about whether or not to include a high-tech tool in your skincare routine, we’re here to tell you that they really help the products to penetrate better as well as boost blood flow to promote collagen production. She uses a hand-held tool to treat her face with a 3D vibrational massage. You can follow the practice as the last step of your p.m. skincare routine.

LED Masks Are The #GOAT Of The Beauty World

The famous K-drama aka The King: Eternal Monarch has a scene where the main character is seen giving her skin some extra TLC with a luxe LED mask. LED masks have been ruling the beauty world right now and are a great way to promote collagen production, boost skin brightness, and bid adieu to scars.

Gradients Lips Will Always Be In

We have the Korean beauty gods to thank for introducing us to gradient lips. The look involves giving your lips a soft graduation of colour from light to dark to rock that just-bit-a-berry finish. If you want to hop on the trend – follow Cha Eun-Jae’s lead. The actor playing a second-year surgery fellow in Dr Romantic 2 hardly gets free time to indulge in a comprehensive beauty routine which is why relies on the power of multi-tasking products. She uses Laneige Layering Lip Bar to give her lips a soft gradient wash of colour while making them pillowy soft.

Don’t Underestimate The Power Of Makeup-Skincare Hybrids

Sung Deok-mi of Her Private Life shares a fail-safe way of keeping her lips flake-free. As most Korean makeup products are laced with good-for-skin ingredients, lipstick is no exception to the rule. The star is seen sweeping on a ginseng ceramide-filled lipstick formula on her lips to lock in the hydration while imparting a pop of colour.
