The Aegyo sal makeup trend has solidified its place in the South Korean beauty scene, becoming so popular that some individuals are opting for injections to achieve this look permanently. For those unfamiliar, aegyo sal focuses on creating the illusion of subtle fatty deposits beneath the eyes, producing a youthful, doe-eyed appearance. While emphasizing the eye bag area may seem unconventional to some, this aesthetic is surprisingly flattering, providing a more youthful vibe to the wearer. Before passing judgment, give it a shot! Here, we’ll guide you through the steps for those intrigued by the Korean aegyo sal makeup.
Recreating aegyo sal makeup can be a bit tricky due to its placement. To avoid it looking like a dark circle, choose colors that complement your skin tone. For long-lasting results, use an eyeshadow primer before application. To locate the correct area, smile and observe the slight bulge underneath your eye in a mirror from a side point-of-view.
Start by using a cool-toned contour eyeshadow, like rosy velvet from the Kaja Bento Eyeshadow Trio, and apply it under the eye. Next, define the shadow line with a small eyeshadow brush and a darker neutral shade. Blend it out gently for a natural look. Use a pencil brush to apply a shimmery highlighter shade above the line to make your aegyo sal stand out. To finish the look, apply your cutest pair of false eyelashes to balance out the heavier under-eye makeup.
While not everyone’s style, aegyo sal makeup undeniably adds a cute touch to your everyday look!
