- TAEYUN PARK
Dewy skin, makeup that enhances your natural features, an overall ethereal, angelic glow (otherwise known as “no-makeup makeup”) is a fairly recent beauty trend in America—but it’s been the norm in one country for ages. This now-universal trend was pioneered and perfected by one Korean makeup artist: Taeyun Park. Former art major, he perfected the makeup look that’s now readily associated with Korean beauty: wide doe eyes, skin that glistens from every angle, and a soft brow. His clients include some of Korea’s biggest celebrities and K-pop stars causing beauty giants like Sephora to ask him to create the glowing looks on their most recent ad campaigns.
