Makeup Demystified: Korean Nude Makeup



Question: How to look sexy with "no makeup"?
Answer: Korean Natural/ Nude Eyes

It's the IT trend now. "No Makeup Makeup" Look that's seen on every magazine cover in Japan, Korea, USA, Hongkong and even Singapore! Just look at every guy's fantasy girl is any girl in Girls Generation. They all look demure & sweet.

Yet to achieve that "flawless" look, you need makeup to achieve. Naked eyes cant see, but expert eyes can tell you if the celebrity uses makeup to enhance her features!

Everytime I receive a fashion or bridal makeup request, it used to be Smokey Eyes. Now its "Nude Eyes" being the Number 1 most asked for look. Now you are crying and groaning. "Nude eyes is also the Number 1 most difficult look!!!"

Nude Eyes is ....

The "nothing on" eyes?
The clean look?
Every attempt you tried just makes your eyes look spaced out but nothing near sexy?


Most girls gave up after 1-2 attempts of nude eyes. Don't give up!

Here are some examples of my popular versions of NUDE EYES!
See! Nude eyes doesn't really have to be BLANK!
It can be so fuss free!


To achieve an effortless Nude eyes, all you need 3 items - Eye Primer, 1 Nude Brown Eyeshadow & Black Eyeliner.


THE PRIME - APPLY - DEFINE TECHNIQUE by Gel



Step 1: PRIME EYES

To get the smooth blended effect, EYE PRIMER is a MUST! Primer keeps the lids clean and brighter looking.
Colors last longer for more than 8 hours.
My current favorite is Mary Kay Eye Primer. Urban Decay works very well too.


Step 2: APPLY SHADOW
Apply the nude brown shadow all over the eyelid.


STEP 3: DEFINE LASH & EYES
Using eyeliner to define eyes are the quickest method.

Add Black liner & false lashes and Voila! The look is complete! ;)
Nude eyes must go with natural false lashes.

I also love teaching Korean Nude Eyes in my workshops! ^_~

Complete the lips with natural pink gloss & cheeks with princess pink blush!
