Well, according to a tutorial by Le Sserafim’s makeup artist, the key to that spotlight-like radiance lies in a pink tone-up cream!

But not just any pink tone-up cream will do the trick; you need one that perfectly complements your skin tone for the best results.

Tone-up creams are a hybrid of makeup and skincare, designed not only to brighten your skin, but also combat hyperpigmentation and discolouration.

If you’ve been grappling with post-acne marks or those pesky freckles, a tone-up cream could be your go-to solution to reduce their appearance. Its primer-like formula also doubles as a makeup base, smoothing out pores and fine lines, creating the perfect canvas for your foundation!

She acknowledges that most tone-up creams can often leave her looking ashy, but when this product is applied with a makeup sponge, it blends seamlessly into her skin.
