Hairpins in lip makeup and other strange beauty hacks of Asian girls

Asia is ahead of the curve when it comes to the beauty industry, which is why we keep an eye on Korean female influencers. Not only are innovative products created in their country, but Korean women themselves come up with unusual makeup life hacks. 

We decided to show you the strangest ones and tell you how to repeat them and whether it is worth doing it at all.

Hairpins in lip makeup

To outline the contour of the lips, Asian girls manage to use anything, but not a special pencil. If you also don’t have a thin stylus at hand, then feel free to take hairpins. Align the base of the hairpin with the checkmark above the upper lip – so you can evenly outline the outline. Surprisingly, this trick works. 

Cotton buds for eye makeup

This is one of the most common techniques of Korean women: girls apply several shades of shadows parallel to each other with cotton swabs, barely touching the eyelids, and then blend them with a brush. Very convenient, and most importantly – fast. And given that in Asia, the shades in the palettes are arranged in the order in which they need to be applied, you don’t even have to think in the morning. 

A special way to stick false eyelashes

Korean women, unfortunately, do not have particularly lush and long eyelashes, on the contrary, they are quite rare, short, and straight, so girls often use false ones. And to make it look as natural as possible, they stick bunches under their eyelashes, that is, almost on the upper mucous membrane of the eye. Ophthalmologists believe that this is unsafe, so do not repeat this life hack at home. 

Imitation of the presence of the lower eyelid

If your lower eyelid is not pronounced, and you want to achieve such an effect, then try, like Asian girls, this technique. Feel for a special protrusion with a spoon, a card, and anything flat, highlight the inner corner of the eye with shining shadows, draw a line under them with a brow pencil, and then blend it. Magic eye contouring is ready!

Korean lip makeup in a couple of seconds

To create a fashionable kissing effect, it is not necessary to buy several lipsticks. Korean women came up with something different: girls use regular lipstick, closer to the lip contour they apply spot concealer, and then simply blend it with their fingers. Unexpectedly simple!
