1. Natural Base Layer
Glowing base layer with the effect of transparent and moist skin, like the beauty trends from the land of Kimchi, always captures the attention of beauty enthusiasts. The advantage of this makeup base is that it makes you look fresh and full of vitality.
You can use a cushion product instead of daily foundation, only covering imperfections where necessary. Avoid applying too much contour, keeping it natural. Remember, the key is in moisturizing, not heavy foundation or powder. The better-hydrated the skin, the smoother the makeup layer.
Another point to note is that no matter how perfect the base layer is, it cannot cover all facial imperfections. However, you should not overuse concealer. Use concealer only where needed, such as under-eye circles or blemishes. Opt for an oil-based concealer as it provides good coverage and blends well into the skin.


2. Emphasize Eye Makeup
Did you know that eye makeup is a crucial step in defining your style? You can transform remarkably with different styles just by changing eye makeup colors.
Here are some eye makeup styles to make you stand out this Tet:
- Korean-style peachy orange eye makeup: Perfect for those in their twenties, this vibrant yet gentle color choice is suitable for Lunar New Year gatherings or when celebrating Tet with adults.
- Natural earthy pink-toned eye makeup: Earthy tones have been a trend for the past few years. Specifically, natural earthy pink-toned eye makeup is perfect for the spring atmosphere, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to your entire face.
- Sparkle with dazzling gemstone eyes: During Tet, you'll attend numerous parties. Therefore, choosing eye makeup with sparkling gemstones is a simple yet effective way to make a lasting impression.
- Luminous look with glitter eyeliner: If you're not an expert in eye makeup, you can enhance the attraction of your eyes with dazzling glitter eyeliner strokes. Simply choose water eyeliners with a shimmer or glitter effect. Then draw cat eyes to increase the brightness of your eyes and face. Remember to use light eye shadow colors when using glitter eyeliner!


3. Apply Blush
One of the final makeup steps is applying blush, which highlights the cheeks, making the face look fresh, youthful, and rosy. This is a crucial makeup step to make your face charming and radiant.
To achieve a radiant face, you need to know how to choose blush that suits your skin tone. Specifically:
- Fair skin: If your skin is fair and bright, choose light or peachy pink blush. These two shades will give your cheeks a natural rosy glow. For those with fair skin and yellow undertones, blush with bright peach undertones and subtle shimmer will add sweetness and femininity!
- Medium skin: If you have a medium skin tone, apricot or a hint of orange blush combined with a bit of coral is enough to make your face look fresh and full of vitality. Besides apricot, dark red blush also suits medium skin. If you have a bold personality, choose light purple blush; it will leave a striking and deep impression on your face.
- Olive skin: Blush with a mix of coral, bright pink, or bronze will be the best choice for those with olive skin. This tone will enhance the natural freshness and brightness of your skin, preventing it from looking dull in winter.
- Dark skin: Individuals with dark skin may find it challenging to choose blush. However, don't worry. For this skin tone, choose brick red and ripe orange blush. These two shades won't darken your cheeks; instead, they will create a gentle, harmonious, and attractive makeup look when applied.


4. Radiant Face 'mixing' with Bold Red Lips
Lipstick determines the youthfulness and freshness of your face when doing makeup for the traditional Tet ao dai outfit, so choose a lipstick color that makes you feel confident! Red lipstick is always a favorite choice for Tet makeup, winning the hearts of many beauties.
With this bold color palette, you only need to pair it with a simple base and a light makeup style to make a lasting impression and create allure for your appearance. Just apply a subtle face makeup and add a deep red lipstick shade, and you've nailed the trend, elevating your beauty. Dark red is also a popular color nowadays that everyone has in their purse because this color suits various skin tones. Those who wear dark red lipstick look brighter and more youthful, resembling cherry blossoms during Tet.


5. Create Smiling Eye Contours in Makeup
Your eyes are the windows to the soul, and they look the most beautiful when you smile. However, it will be much more fantastic if you create natural eye contours to add impressive lines to your face. The trend of creating eye contours is still one of the popular beauty trends in the Korean makeup style. Beautiful natural eye contours will make your face look gentle, charming, and even more adorable when you smile.
If you don't often wear heavy makeup, then consider how to create light and natural eye contours below:
- Step 1: Use a brighter eye shadow than your skin color to outline the entire lower eyelid with a large 3-4mm stroke.
- Step 2: Use a dark nude eye shadow to cover the entire eyelid.
- Step 3: Continue using this color to outline outside the white line on the lower lash line, extending from the corner of the eye and ending at the eye tail.
- Step 4: Finally, dab a bit of concealer at the eye corner and blend it evenly to create a natural transition of color in this area.


6. Freckle Makeup
While many girls are seeking ways to treat freckles, this makeup trend is gaining tremendous popularity among the youth. This trend is a perfect blend of a fresh makeup style paired with subtle freckles, creating a look that is both innocent and captivating, enchanting the soul.
But it's extremely trendy and full of personality. Instead of applying blush to create focal points during Tet, you can opt for freckle makeup. It enhances the beauty of natural simplicity and turns facial imperfections into standout features.


7. Natural Korean Eyebrow Drawing
Korean eyebrow drawing style is a trendy makeup choice favored by many enthusiasts. They opt for this style because it brings a youthful, innocent look that closely resembles the natural eyebrows of Asian women.
The choice of eyebrow shape that suits each face is crucial in achieving beautiful eyebrows, specifically:
- For oval faces: Softly arched eyebrows with a slight curve at the tail create a graceful appearance.
- For long faces: Horizontal eyebrows help balance the face and reduce its length.
- For round faces: Shaping the eyebrows to have a slightly higher peak and a compact size is recommended.
- For square faces: Softly tapered triangular eyebrows with a high arch provide a gentle and harmonious look.
- For heart-shaped faces: Longer eyebrows with a lower peak complement this face shape best.


8. Smokey Makeup with Wine Red Tones
To achieve a perfect smokey makeup with wine red tones, choosing quality and suitable makeup products is crucial. Using eye shadow, lipstick, and blush that harmonize with wine red tones will help create a flawless makeup look, enhancing the allure and sophistication of the wearer.
Smokey makeup with wine red tones not only highlights personality but also brings a mysteriously beautiful charm. You can combine eye makeup with wine red and brown colors, adding a touch of shimmer to make your eyes more captivating. Don't forget precise eyeliner and false lashes to make your eyes look larger and rounder. A light foundation combined with pure red lips will add extra allure and uniqueness.


9. Glamorous Makeup with Orange-Brown Undertone
Another fantastic suggestion for Tet is the makeup formula with a pink peach tone and an orange-brown undertone. Blending a bit of sweetness into your personality, this trend is adored by many. This makeup style is perfect for Christmas, outings, or Tet, especially for those who appreciate a blend of charm and innocence.
For eye makeup, apply blush with a peachy-pink hue at the front and brown at the end. This technique will add depth and allure to your eyes. Remember to choose a lip color that complements the makeup tone for a cohesive look.


10. Baby Pink Makeup Vibes
Baby pink tone is an extremely feminine and sweet makeup choice for the youth. This makeup style leans towards specific skin tones, yet it helps you look youthful and incredibly beautiful. Emphasizing natural beauty with light eyebrows and subtle eye makeup, this style is simple yet harmoniously beautiful with coordinated eye, cheek, and lip tones. It suits those with a cute and princess-like style.
