Korean Beauty Secrets: How Get Skin and look Like Song Hye Kyo


Song Hye Kyo is beauty korean actress with beautiful skin.  She gets it by first eating very well.  Song stays away from chocolate, coke, black tea, and junk foods.  Instead, she feasts on fruits, vegetables, and fish!  One of her favorite dishes is pumpkin, which she says is good for health and decreases any body swelling.  She also frequently hydrates by drinking water, recommending “begin-ning your day by drinking two glasses of water on an empty stomach” in order to reach a goal of 1.5 liters of water every day!

Song’s skincare routine is a mix of quality products and natural, DIY treatments.  She is the face of Laneige, a Korean beauty brand that is immensely popular all over Asia.  Her favorite product is the Laneige Power Essential Skin Toner, which she uses every morning and night.  She states that “although it is a toner, when applied on the face, it feels like a serum that stays longer” and that the toner is perfect for combatting dryness when she’s filming outdoors.  She also alternates between the Laneige Star Pure Treatment Mask (discontinued) and the Laneige Water Sleeping Pack to rejuvenate and refresh her skin.

Song also loves to use natural, DIY beauty treatments.  Her favorites are: (Source: Jolieasie)

1.  Egg White and Honey Mask for Whitening: Song whitens her face with a mask of one egg white mixed with a spoonful of natural, unprocessed honey (like New Zealand’s famous Manuka honey).  She applies the mask to her face and waits for it to dry before washing it off with water.  She does this once every two weeks.

2.  Honey Mask for Brightening: Song brightens her face with a mask that is one part honey, two parts water.  She massages the mask well into her skin and then rinses with water.  SHe does this every two weeks also.

3.  Ice Cube Press for Skin Firming:  Song massages her face with ice cubes in the summer to firm the skin and make her face seem smaller.

Song Hye Kyo Make Up
She famously popularized BB Creams in Asia and uses Laneige Snow BB Cream instead of foundations or powders.  BB Creams enhance the skin’s natural properties while providing light coverage for blemishes.  She usually doens’t wear much color on her cheeks, just a very faint flush.  I would suggest Benefit Cosmetic’s Benetint or it’s lighter sibling Posietint for that glow-from-within look.  Add a bit of Benefit’s High Beam Luminizer on your cheekbones and down the middle of your nose for more strategic glow!

Song uses liquid liner to draw a thin line with a slight thin wing on her upper lid and kohl to lightly line the rims of her eyes.  and use Chanel’s Ecriture de Chanel Automatic Liquid Eyeliner, which is great for drawing a thin line, and MAC Eye Kohl.  Her mascara is always very natural-looking, with no clumps.  I would suggest Kiehl’s Marvelous Mineral Mascara, it gives a little length and a little thickness while keeping you looking natural!
