LE SSERAFIM's Sakura is the latest celebrity to share all her beauty secrets with Vogue, and the star has let us in on a nifty little trick for applying foundation flawlessly that we will be trying out ASAP.
On February 13, Vogue released a new Beauty Secrets video where LE SSERAFIM's Sakura did a step-by-step tutorial on how to achieve her “signature glow.” The K-pop star begins the video packing on a milky toner, a K-Beauty essential, for the skin care part of her routine. Sakura followed her toner, which she applied like a face mask with a little help from some cotton pads, with eye serum, a little face massage using a jade roller, and finally, a light face cream that she made sure to bring down to her neck as well as a thicker cream for spot hydration plus a touch of Hailey Bieber's rhode peptide lip treatment.
So far, a pretty standard and solid skin care routine. However, the most interesting thing comes when she starts off her makeup. For a “barely there” base, Sakura uses the Glow Lasting foundation by K-Beauty brand HERA mixed with a tiny bit of concealer by Luna, another K-beauty brand.
The star uses the side of her hand as a palette to mix a dot of concealer with a swipe of foundation, warming and mixing it up with a brush before applying the mixture to her cheeks with the brush and blending it out with a beauty sponge. “This makeup [trick] will have people giving you compliments like, ‘Wow, your bare face is pretty!’” the star comments as she does her base — and we have to agree.
You can see exactly how Sakura applies the foundation using this trick below:
Though she admits she'd rather get her makeup done by a professional makeup artist, Sakura confesses this is the perfect technique if you prefer a light makeup style, which is the case for her when she's off stage. “LE SSERAFIM is coming out with a song called ‘Easy’, and in the concept photos, we did our makeup very lightly,” the star continues. “I really like this look.”
To finish off her light foundation, Sakura later rounds off her base using Clinique's beloved Cheek Pop blush in a light cherry shade to perfectly match her name. “It's as if the blush is coming from within the skin,” the artist says about the product as she lightly taps it into her cheeks and the tip of her nose and chin with a small brush. She finishes off by adding a bit of MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Face Powder to contour her jaw.
