Step 1: Crafting the Perfect “Spotlight” Base
Begin by prepping your skin with your regular skincare routine, and then apply a brightening tone-up cream to your face. This creates a “spotlight skin” effect that K-pop idols are known for.
Next, use a foundation brush to apply a darker foundation shade along the outer perimeter of your face, creating dimensions.
Follow up with a lighter foundation shade, focusing on the centre of your face to highlight this area for a radiant effect.

Step 3: Crafting Subtle Eyeliner and Doll-Like Lashes
For your eyeliner, create a small wing at the corner of your eyes, angling it downwards for a puppy-like effect.
Then, adorn your upper lash line with thin and natural-looking false eyelashes. You can choose between strip lashes and individual lashes according to your preference.
Jungyo prefers the EyeMe #33 individual lashes.
Complete your lash look with a light coat of mascara.
Use a heated toothpick to straighten and lift your lashes in an upward direction.

Step 5: Creating the “Bunny” Contour Effect
With a flat brush and your contour shade, begin by drawing contour lines from your eye socket to the middle of your nose bridge. Follow this by contouring in a “U” shape around the tip of your nose.
For your lips, contour the cupid’s bow and slightly extend the corners of your mouth to create a lifted appearance.
To create a slimming effect for your face, use a flat brush and your contour shade to lightly fill in your sideburns.
Step 6: Completing the Look with Blush and a Luscious Pink Lip
Apply a coral blush to the centre of your cheeks using a fluffy brush.
Using a smaller brush, apply the same blush to the edges of your lips to soften the lip outline.
Apply a pink or coral lipstick to your lips.
Finish off with a bright pink lipstick, focusing on the centre of your lips.
