Five unusual Korean beauty trends – will they give you flawless skin?
1. Laneige, Two-Tone Lip Bar (HK$185)
If you are a K-drama fan, there is every chance you have seen the “gradient lips” make-up of Korean actresses. “Gradient lips” or “gradation lips” is a technique aiming for a youthful and perky appearance. Is it difficult to recreate at home? No. The lip bar has a main colour and a sub colour, and a professional look can be yours with a single touch. The high-gloss vivid colour side of the lipstick is for the centre of the lips, while the semi-matt colour blends nicely to keep the outer line of the lips soft. Comes in 10 colour variations.
2. L’CRET, Magic Eyelid Shadow (US$23.95/HK$187 at ebay.com)
Do your uneven eyelids, mono lids or droopy eyes bother you? This eyelid shadow can help, without opting for plastic surgery. The product is a combination of shimmer eyeshadow and eyelid glue.
