On days when you’re running late, you need easy, fail-proof makeup without having to put in extra work. Keep reading to see my holy grail rush-hour K-beauty products and how you can get 100% success rate K-beauty makeup looks!
Skip foundation and stick to just concealing acne scars and dark circles when you don’t have time to carefully blend base. The LUNA Long Lasting Tip Concealer is medium coverage, which means it blends very naturally on bare skin, while still hiding blemishes. Plus, it doesn’t break down even in the hot summer! Its original matte finish transforms into a glowy finish throughout the day.
I used to think COLORGRAM products only became popular because of the K-drama, True Beauty, until I tried their Re-Forming Contour Stick on a whim—and fell in love! The medium crayon tip is the perfect size for precise nose contouring, but can also be used for wider areas like the jawline. I especially love how it comes with a sponge tip on the other side so I don’t have to grab another blending tool. So convenient!
Ever since I discovered my personal color type was Spring Light, coral toned eyeshadow has been my safest go-to that never fails me. The CLIO Pro Eye Palette has gone viral several times as one of the most common products Korean makeup artists use for idol makeup, and with good reason!
The color story and inclusion of different textured glitters means you can complete your eye look without picking up another palette. CLIO’s shadow formula is pigmented, but also forgivingly natural without leaving harsh edges even when you don’t spend long on blending.
This mascara has been a best-seller at Olive Young for years, and is a staple in every K-beauty lover’s makeup collection. The mascara wand is slim enough to avoid lash clumping, yet thick enough to evenly distribute product on my lashes. I love how I can use the same wand for both my top and bottom lashes so I don’t have to search for a microcara instead.
Every K-beauty enthusiast knows how important highlighting the fat (aka ‘aegyo sal’) under your eyes is in Korean makeup. The TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL Artclass Frottage Pencil is perfect for highlighting your eyebags in just one swipe! The formula is soft and not chalky at all, so you can just blend out the product with your pinky. The best part is, it also doubles as an eyeshadow base which I do on days I want my shadow to really pop!
The HOLIKA HOLIKA Holi Pop Double Eyelid Liner was originally made to extend the appearance of the double eyelid fold, but it can also be used to emphasize the shadow underneath the eyebag. For such a tiny area, this liner gives the most exact precision. The shades are so light and natural that no blending is required. It also dries almost instantly!
ROMAND makes some of the trendiest lip tints in K-beauty, and my personal favorite is the Blur Fudge collection. On days I’m really running late, all I do is swipe the tint on my bottom lip and press my lips together a few times to achieve pouty lips with blurred edges and pigment concentrated in the center. Because the formula is matte, make sure your lips are soft and moisturized before applying to avoid dry skin from ruining its beautiful, cotton-like texture!
