Let's take a look at how Koreans use small but clever tricks. 


Blow Dry The Eyelash Curler


Interestingly, the eyelash curler is similar to the hair curlers, which works best with the blow dryer. 

In order to keep your lashes stay curled for a longer time, I strongly recommend this makeup hack! Korean Makeup Hack, Blow Dry The Lash Curler

A burning hot eyelash curler can burn the sensitive skin around the eyes, so don't forget to use it while it's mild-hot.


Fire And A Small Wooden Stick


This makeup hack is also for your eyelashes! In Korea, lots of professionals and YouTube creators use this method to curl the lashes and let them stay.

First, you curl your lashes and apply mascara. After applying a layer of mascara, use the heated wooden stick to let them stay as it is. 

Since this trick requires using a lighter, make sure you pay extra attention! 


Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder

Apply this powder with the pulp on the oily hair lightly and dust afterward to control oil! It will create a refreshing look...just like you washed your hair!


Toner Pack


Toner pack, or "skin pack" in Korean is a mini DIY sheet mask. You can do this skincare hack during your busy morning, which is the biggest perk.

What you will need is pretty simple: your favourite toner and cotton pads.

Whenever you are choosing your toner, you will have to pick a toner that is gentle and moisturizing. Make sure to stay away from products with alcohol or astringents, as these will dry out your skin.

More importantly, you will need to purchase either multi-layer cotton pads that can easily separate into thin sheets. Spongy cotton pads also work too! 

These two types of cotton pads will minimize the usage of your precious toner.

Cotton Swab Spatula 


Do you use a spatula when you scoop out cream or gel from a jar? If not, you should be starting tonight! 

Scooping out skincare with your finger will not only infect your product but also your skin in the long term.

If you don't have a cosmetic spatula with you, you can easily use a cotton swab to scoop out your cream or gel. 

Afterward, use the cotton swab that you have used to clean your ears. The cotton swab with the remaining cream will make your ears shiny!

Whenever you are applying foundation on your skin, spray once or twice on the wet makeup sponge.

The worst thing you can ever wake up in the morning is a puffy, swollen face. From stress, late-night food before sleep... there are various reasons, which can cause your face to be puffed up. 

Koreans often suffer from this issue, and they have their own ways to solve this problem. 

First, it's a lymphatic drainage massage. This five-minute video is useful to quickly rid of facial puffiness.
