We’ve all danced, sang along, and played 2NE1’s hits like Fire, I Don’t Care, and I Am The Best on repeat. Now, they’re ready to take the spotlight again at the ASIA TOUR [WELCOME BACK] in Singapore from 21 to 22 December 2024.
Our excitement is through the roof, especially knowing that Sandara Park (Dara) will be there! Her legendary charisma and style have made her a fan favourite, and even though she’s 40 this year, her skin says otherwise.
Keep reading for her top beauty tips!
Water, Rest, and Good Vibes
As soon as Dara wakes up, she begins her day with a refreshing glass of water and continues to stay hydrated throughout the day, even drinking more before bedtime.
On average, she consumes about one-and-a-half litres of water, which is just over six cups.
She also believes that positive energy plays a big role—when you’re happy and stress-free, it really shows. For her, a simple routine of staying hydrated, getting enough rest, and keeping a positive mindset is the key to flawless skin.
Products She Can’t Live Without
Just like us, Dara has her must-have beauty essentials.
@dailyvanity ✨ The wait is over! @d’Alba Official, the cult-favourite Korean luxury skincare brand, has officially launched in Singapore! 🎉 The brand celebrated with @산다라박 Sandara Park – global icon, multi-talented artist, K-pop superstar, and beloved member of 2NE1. 🌟 📲 Tap the link in bio to shop their 12.12 Mega Sale now! #dalba #dalbaSG #SandaraPark #KBeauty #KPop #2NE1 #firstsprayserum #whitetruffle
In case you missed it, the star arrived in Singapore on 9 December 2024 to celebrate the launch of Korean luxury skincare brand d’Alba. Her go-to product? None other than the popular d’Alba White Truffle Vegan First Spray Serum.
This globally loved, vegan-certified spray serum hydrates, soothes, and enhances radiance with a potent blend of Italian white truffles and vitamin E.
The one makeup product she can’t live without is Moonshot’s UV Bouncer. She uses it every day before applying her makeup. It works both as a sunscreen and a primer, creating a smooth base that gives that radiant finish.
Dara always keeps a mirror and eyeliner in her purse. She’s almost never without her eyeliner and even applies it on days when her schedule isn’t packed!
3 Important Steps in Her Beauty Regime
We know that cleansing is definitely at the top of our list when it comes to skincare, and the same applies to Dara as well. Right after cleansing, she makes sure to apply sunscreen before doing her makeup.
At the end of the day, removing all makeup and impurities is a must for her. While facial masks are a great addition to her routine, Dara believes that getting enough sleep is the simplest yet most important step for healthy skin.
She Loves Minimal Makeup Looks
Dara always opts for a look that uses minimal makeup, focusing on enhancing her natural beauty. For her, the key is a bright-coloured blush and lip to add a pop of colour.
It’s a simple yet effective way to look fresh and radiant without overdoing it. Dara’s approach proves that sometimes less is more when it comes to creating a standout look.
Choose Makeup That Suits Your Face
Growing up in the Philippines, she learned that the makeup techniques used by many Filipinos, who are often biracial, tend to lean towards Western styles. These techniques and colour tones didn’t always work well for her.
After moving to Korea, Sandara learned makeup methods that suited her features better and now sticks to those techniques, only tweaking them slightly depending on the dress code or concept of the day.
Her tip? Find makeup techniques that complement your natural features, and don’t be afraid to adjust them for different looks.
She Prefer Wigs Over Chemical Treatments
She once confessed that instead of relying on chemical treatments or heavy styling to change up her look, she opts for wigs.
This way, she can switch up her style frequently without damaging her natural hair. While she still colours her hair from time to time, she prefers to keep the treatments minimal and lets her wigs do the rest.
Her Beauty S.O.S When She Doesn’t Get Enough Sleep
With all the concerts, dancing, and travelling, getting sufficient sleep might not always be possible.
For Dara, keeping your makeup fresh starts with good skin. Her beauty secret? A good night’s sleep, which gives her a natural glow. When beauty sleep isn’t in the cards, her emergency SOS is applying a mask for instant hydration and brightening.
It preps her skin, helping her makeup stay fresh and radiant throughout the day.
