Wonhee from ILLIT has everyone — us included — gushing over her large, doe-like eyes and adorable, soft look. Lucky for us, she shared a video with all the details of her signature sweet pink makeup, a trending look in Korea for the soft, natural appearance with shades reminiscent of juicy strawberries.
Keep reading to discover the step-by-step process behind the K-pop star’s spring strawberry makeup and where to shop for her choices.
Eyeshadow
Wonhee’s pick for the eyes is the Holika Holika My Fave Mood Eye Palette in PINKOLOGY, a versatile and inexpensive palette with neutral pink shades for everyday wear.
She spreads the lightest pink shade all over her eyes with a large, fluffy brush for a natural pink base on her lids. She then dips into the dark brown shade with an angled brush and traces out her natural eye shape for increased definition.
Aegyosal
To widen the appearance of the eyes and give the illusion of an eye smile, Wonhee emphasises her aegyosal with the Rom&nd Slide In Single eyeshadow quad palette, a unique, mix-and-match concept that allows you to personalise your palette by choosing from a selection of single eyeshadows.
Wonhee uses shades MO8 Pale Peony, MO1 Warm Volumer, M18 Plain Mocha, and M14 Toe Shoes in her palette. Dipping into a white-beige shade with a precision brush, she highlights her inner corners and aegyosal line for a three-dimensional effect.
Wonhee’s tip: Don’t forget to smile! Wonhee shows by smiling while shaping the aegyosal, you can achieve a more accurate and natural result.
Eyeliner
Wonhee keeps things clean with a natural-looking eyeliner. Using the WAKEMAKE Real Ash Pencil Liner in Muted Brown, she lines her upper eyelid and extends it outwards, following her eye’s shape for a natural and straight eyeliner.
The result is a subtly enlarging effect that enhances the beauty of her large eyes.
Blush
Wonhee combines two blushes for the perfect, milky pink flush.
She dips into the Clinique Cheek Pop blush in Ballerina Pop with a tapered bullet brush and blends it along the peaks of her cheekbones to her brow bone. The pale pink shade acts as a base shade and has an instant brightening effect on her face.
To intensify the flush, Wonhee uses the CANMAKE Cream Cheek blush in Clear Red Heart. With a gentle hand, she dots the cream blush in the centre of the apples of her cheeks and blends it with her finger. The result is a sweet rush of colour and energy to her cheeks.
Highlighter
To add dimension to her face, Wonhee gently spreads highlight onto the highest point of her cheekbones using the CEZANNE Pearl Glow Highlight in a natural Champagne Beige shade.
With every turn of her face, we can see a natural and healthy glow reflecting off her cheeks.
Lips
The final touch is also the hardest decision for Wonhee, as she ponders over which product in her collection to use. Settling on the Rom&nd Glasting Color Gloss in Peony Ballet, she gently spreads the gloss over her lips with a lip brush for clean application.
