Almost everyone pursues the appearance of natural skin that’s free of makeup, including celebrities. But in fact, the “no-makeup” makeup look is actually created with products that have been carefully selected and applied with intention. And if you’re looking to achieve that look too, here are some beauty inspirations from celebrities ranging from Blackpink member Jennie, to Zoe Tay, as well as our picks of makeup products to recreate it.
Dewy skin like Zoe Tay’s is a sign that your face is hydrated, moisturised and nourished. And even if you stayed up all night watching the latest Korean drama on Netflix, you can still simulate healthy, glowing skin with the help of hydrating primers and highlighters.
