What Foundation K-Pop Idols Like NCT, WayV, And More Use? (2024)

Some of the things we love about K-beauty is that it is always flawless, bright, lively, and vibrant. That's why it's impossible not to recreate our favorite K-pop idols look. Let's figure out what foundation do NCT, WayV, and more use, and how to use it in real life.

One of the primary characteristics of K-pop idols is that they always have flawless faces. Korean makeup artists are famous for their "transparent makeup look."

The Korean secret appears as if you don't wear makeup, that you naturally look flawless. The first thing you need to think about is the thickness of the foundation. Apply a deep layer from the cheekbone to the mouth's outer corner and a fine layer in the centre and perimeter.

It's essential not to swipe foundation down the centre but instead apply along cheekbones, and mid-forehead, blending in and out. Laying foundation this way gives you a fascinating and heart-stopping natural look.

Another critical element for achieving a flawless look is to find a foundation similar to your skin. This can be challenging but not impossible. To help you find the perfect foundation, follow these tips:

• Don't try foundations on your forearm. It's better to do it in the chest or directly on your face.

• Keep in mind that the foundation usually gets darker throughout the day due to the skin's oils.

• Don't forget to look at your neck. If the neck is paler than your face, choose a lighter shade. Remember, you can always use a bronzer like Pink Brownie from ETUDE HOUSE Lovely Cookie Blusherif the coloring appears too dull. The key is that your face doesn't look much different than the neck.

• Always try foundation in good natural lighting.

• For a cold undertone, use a foundation with a pink shade.

• Use a BB cream like MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF42if it feels too heavy a full coverage foundation.

• Use a matte foundation if you have oily and combination skin and a satin finish for mature skins.

• Make sure to adapt your foundation shade to the season. Keep in mind that the skin is usually more tan and warm in the spring and summer and more pale and cold in the fall and winter.
