Seoul Fashion Week SS15: 4 K-Beauty trends straight off the runway

As usual, there was no shortage of hypnotising beauty looks at Seoul Fashion Week. This time round, there was something extra exciting about the makeup looks that dominated the runway. Hot off the catwalk and totally wearable, this year’s trends are comprised of ultra-bold eyes, nude lips, supple bitten lips and dewy skin – which all looked striking on the Korean models.

Bold eyes:

Designers such as Beetlebeetle and Jaison Couture went all out this year, creating a strikingly vibrant eye look. From colours such as bright blues to roaring reds, easily get look by playing around with your eyeshadow palette. Extend the shadows outward to create a cat eye-inspired shape.

Nude lips:

A style statement of a lifetime, nude lips are a modern classic. Jarret and Paul N Alice have the models pairing their nude lips with minimal eye makeup. While Nohke uses the trend to complement an intense twist on the timeless smokey eye.

Bitten lips:

A trend that has relentlessly dominated the Korean runways – bitten lips have made yet another comeback at Seoul Fashion Week this year. Using soft glosses and lip stains, designers such as Soulpot Studio and Enzuvan opted for the classic juicy flushed lip. Get the look by dabbing on a touch of concealer to your lips, then apply a lip stain or lipstick to the inner section of your lips.

Dewy skin:

Say goodbye to your trustee powder – this season it’s all about dewy, almost wet-looking skin. As seen on the runways of Jain Song and lowclassic – illuminating foundations were paired with shimmery highlighters (and maybe a spritz of water). To get the look, use a radiance-boosting primer before foundation application.

Now that you know what’s next in K-beauty, we recommend you start practising these gorgeous looks from now, so when Spring finally rolls around, you would have gotten your beauty look settled to a T.
