The eyelashes are naturally curled, avoid using too thick false eyelashes.

2. Korean eye makeup: sweet and age-reducing, creating a harmless look 🐰✨
Style keywords: Pseudo-bare face, slightly shimmering, non-aggressive Applicable people: Those who pursue a fresh style and a soft face
Key points of technique:
The base color has a slight pearlescent luster, such as champagne pink and almond color, and a small amount is superimposed on the eyelids and under-eye bags.
The focus is on the creation of the lower eye shadow, using light brown or light pink to gently smudge the under-eye bags to enhance the "innocent feeling".
The eyeliner lengthens the eye shape, but does not do an upward treatment, and the tail can be naturally extended.
Use the "eyelash wiper" method to create a distinct, light and natural eyelash effect.
