Inside a Pro K-Beauty Makeover: From Skin Prep to Final Glow

See how a pro K-beauty artist takes you from clean skin to a polished glow. Four simple stages, each with a visual and a tight checklist.

1) Prep for a glassy base

• Gentle cleanse + hydrating toner pads for a calm start.
• Light serum, then a water gel moisturizer to lock in moisture.
• Thin layer of sunscreen or a tone-up base.

2) Weightless coverage

• Apply cushion or sheer foundation only where needed.
• Spot-conceal redness; avoid over-layering.
• Set the T-zone lightly with powder; leave cheeks dewy.

3) Subtle color & dimension

• Soft blush high on the cheeks for a fresh lift.
• Sheer contour under cheekbones; skip harsh lines.
• Cream highlight on the bridge, Cupid’s bow, and inner corners.

4) Lashes & lips

• Curled lashes + brown mascara for a natural frame.
• Gradient lip: balm, then tint in the center for a soft blur.
• Finish with a light mist for a flexible set.
