Korean and Western cultures have different makeup trends and styles. In the West, anything that is visually appealing and current in Korea may come across as strange and unappealing. Every culture has a distinctive style. Every culture and community has its own norms and guidelines for cosmetics, ranging from bold lips to smokey eyes to over-the-top highlights.
Every culture uses a different range of hues and tones. There are many distinct and imaginative makeup trends and styles available. Despite the abundance of trends, not all of them are acceptable in all societies and cultures. A style or appearance that is acceptable in Korea might not be in the West. Let’s examine the various fads and fashions found in each culture.
Let’s begin by discussing Western cosmetics trends and styles.
1. Western makeup trends
Some of the newest trends in Western makeup are bold eyes framed with thick lashes, lips painted scarlet red, and highlights that blind you. This place’s makeup matches its style. Bold, daring, and experimental. Some of the wider known trends include:
-False eyelashes
-Pink and red tone lips
-Bold eye shadow
-Winged eyeliner
-Highlighter
In Western culture, false eyelashes are now considered normal. It is typical for women to have thick lashes, even when they are wearing nothing at all. What began as eyelash glue has evolved into eyelash inserts and extensions. Winged liner is another style in cosmetics that goes along with this. The effect of being winged persists even though the wing’s thickness has varied throughout time. The winged liner is a really timeless makeup look that looks well on a bare face or with dramatic smokey eyes.
Bold eye shadow is another trend in cosmetics. This season, vibrant hues like magenta, royal blue, and jade green are making their appearance. On social media, metallic effects, glitter palettes, and liners are very popular. Bold, dramatic, and extravagant looks are hot right now.
Highlighters are also very popular right now. Makeup enthusiasts use a ton of bronzer and highlighter because they want their skin to seem radiant, glossy, and healthy. Some of the highlighter colors that are used are copper, bronze, silver, gold, and lavender.
Lips in shades of pink and red are the newest big fashion in the West. Lip liners, lipsticks, and glosses in a variety of pink hues, including dusty rose, baby pink, and hibiscus, are available for purchase. These pink lips, when worn as a natural everyday accessory, give the face a vivid, young appearance. Red-toned makeup creates a more sultry and enigmatic look. Among the most common red hues are wine, burgundy, blood orange, and crimson red.
Western makeup trends tend to be quite daring, bold, and statement-making. There is a trend for everyone, regardless of your preference for a natural or seductive appearance.
2. Korea makeup trend
Korea’s makeup trends center on a more natural appearance. Korean makeup enthusiasts have dewy skin, sun-kissed lids, and delicate pink lips on their faces. Some of the current trends include:
-Pink glosses
-Sunset-inspired blush and highlighters
-‘Just out of the shower skin.
Highlighters and blushes give the skin more dimension and depth. Peach and orange tones are used to give the skin a youthful, healthy appearance. The use of pink glosses is another trend. Some of the more common hues are cotton candy, baby pink, and dusty rose. More pastel and vivid hues are emerging as springtime draws near. Lip gloss gives the face a more lively, youthful aspect.
The final trend is skin that appears nearly damp and dewy. Using a moisturizing foundation gives the skin a radiant appearance while covering it up. In Korea, the wet foundation is highly favored. The aim is to have immaculate, spotless, and “fresh out of the shower” skin.
