Glass skin = hydration + cushion
Hydrate well, then pat a cushion compact on with a damp sponge. Build coverage only where you need it.

Find the aegyo-sal, add shimmer
Smile slightly — the little puff under the eye is the aegyo-sal. Put a light shimmer on it (not on the dark circle) and a soft brown shadow line just beneath.

Shimmer highlight
Tap highlighter on the cheekbones, bridge of the nose and chin tip — just enough to catch the light.

health_and_safetyUse shimmer labelled safe for the eye area. The hair color is part of the styling in the photo. If you dye, do a patch test 48 hours before. Try any new product on your inner arm first. If redness, itching or irritation appears, stop using it and consult a dermatologist. Keep eye products out of the eyes.
