15 best eyeshadow palettes to get to recreate your favourite Korean celebrities’ makeup looks

South Koreans are all about enhancing natural beauty. Even in terms of makeup style, they would opt for a ‘less is more’ approach. Unless they are a K-pop star rocking out on stage, neutral nudes like brown or taupe shades with shimmery finishes are often the top choices for everyday use.

If you have always wanted to recreate your favourite Korean celebrities’ gorgeous eye makeup looks, we’ve got great news! Daily Vanity has rounded up a list of 15 best eyeshadow palettes for you to incorporate into your makeup routine.
