Huh Yunjin’s Skin-Care Routine and Upside-Down Eyelash Curling Trick
As Le Sserafim’s Huh Yunjin heads into a “chill day” in Los Angeles, she plans her makeup look to be “very sun-kissed, very natural”. We delve deep into her skincare routine and uncover her ingenious eyelash curling trick.
Honey-Sweet Skincare Essentials
Yunjin begins with a deep cleanse that sets the stage for glowing skin. After applying foamy face wash from Makeup: Prem, she introduces a bubblegum-pink gadget into her regimen—the Foreo Luna Mini 3, sent by her mom all the way from Albany, New York. While it’s not available in Korea, this device is a staple in her routine.
Cleansing and Toning
- Start with a foamy face wash to remove impurities.
- Use Foreo Luna Mini 3 for deep cleansing. If unavailable, opt for an alternative facial cleansing brush.
- Follow up with guava toner face mask pads from Benton for hydration and balance.
Serums and Creams: The Korean Influence
The 22-year-old singer found her skincare interest ignited during her move to Korea, a place rich in innovative beauty products. She shares:
- “There’s just a lot of access to these products,” Yunjin says. “It got really fun to make a routine.”
- She uses The Ordinary’s Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 serum for hydration, and MAC’s Hyper Real Serumizer to achieve a dewy glow.
Gua Sha: A Tool of Tranquility
The singer employs a gua sha tool not only for de-puffing but also as a way to enhance blood circulation. This traditional technique, now embraced by beauty enthusiasts worldwide, is key in her routine.
Makeup Magic: From East Meets West
Yunjin’s makeup philosophy is influenced by both Eastern and Western trends, creating a hybrid that suits her unique style. Let’s explore how she achieves her flawless look.
Natural Beauty Base
- Start with a tinted primer for an even skin tone.
- A “tiniest bit” of blemish balm from MAC Cosmetics helps cover any imperfections seamlessly.
- MAC’s Studio Radiance foundation gives her that sought-after dewy finish, while Kosas concealer brightens and highlights under-eye areas.
Brows on Point
The precision of her brows is enhanced using Anastasia’s Brow Wiz. Layering a peachy cream shadow from MAC followed by a pinkish nude matte powder adds depth without heaviness.
Upside-Down Eyelash Curling: A Clever Glimpse
The singer has mastered an impressive trick from her K-pop training days—curling lashes upside down. This technique ensures that even the lower lashes have volume and lift, enhancing her doe-eyed look.
Adding Color with Blush and Lips
Yunjin believes in a pop of blush to complete any makeup look. She uses Makeup by Mario Soft Pop Powder Blush for just the right amount of color. Her lips are perfected with MAC’s liner and lipstick, topped off with a dash of gloss for added shine.
Finishing Touches: Scents and Highlights
Before heading out, Yunjin infuses her day with calming scents from Diptyque’s Philosykos and Kayali’s Yum Pistachio Gelato. Her glowing complexion is finalized with a swipe of Charlotte Tilbury highlighter.
Scent Combination: An Unlikely Duo
“It’s a really weird combination, figs and pistachio,” Yunjin admits. Yet, this unique blend brings her peace and serves as the perfect scent for any day ahead.
