You’ll rarely see Park Min-young sculpting her face with bronzer . She uses blush instead to accentuate and add fullness to her cheeks, which has the added benefit of making her appear more youthful.

Her blush colours of choice are pinks and corals, which she applies across the apples of her cheeks and her cheekbones.

Tinted lips

You can choose to dye or tint your natural brow hairs but if you want something less permanent, go over your brows with an eyeshadow or brow product.

Are you feeling stuck creatively? Perhaps a simple change in your hair colour can make you feel more energised and motivated.

We recommend touching up your roots and using purple shampoo so the colour stays vibrant. Of course, use a hair serum or oil to protect your tresses from the sun and other environmental damage.

Straight, curly or wavy

We are often amazed by how Park Min-young can pull off a variety of hairstyles ranging from pin-straight hair to beachy waves and full-bodied curls.

Changing up your hairstyle is fun but constant use of  heat tools can weaken and damage hair. Include nourishing hair masks and treatments into your beauty routine from time to time to give your precious tresses some TLC.

Slick and parted

Slick and parted is how Park Min-young usually wears her hair. To deal with baby hairs, spritz a little hairspray onto a toothbrush and use it to slick down any stray strands.

Finish with a light coat of hairspray to secure everything in place.

Change your parting for extra volume

For those who struggle with volume at your crown, try flipping your hair and changing up your hair part. Doing so can help to add more volume and oomph to your style.

It is no wonder then that Park Min-young often switches up her hair part, as evident in her social media posts.

The pointed tip of the rat-tail comb would be useful here to help create a crisp part.

Ever wondered why South Koreans love drinking their coffee Americano-style without milk or sugar? That’s because coffee is a known diuretic, which can help flush out excess water from your body.

However, you might not want to drink coffee on an empty stomach as the acidic beverage could irritate your stomach and cause bloating instead.
