Following the Blue Dragon Awards, the Celebrated Makeup Look of Song Hye-kyo in a Photo Shoot
Song Hye-kyo graced the start of 2026 with an unprecedented visual. Following her appearance at the Blue Dragon Awards, she covered the January issue of <Harper’s Bazaar>, once again capturing attention with her elegant and sophisticated makeup. How was her makeup from this photo shoot completed? From naturally glowing skin to subtle hues, let’s uncover the key points of Song Hye-kyo’s perfectly captured mood through her makeup.
The Secret to Dewy Skin: The Foundation Technique
The primary focus of this photo shoot’s makeup was Song Hye-kyo’s flawless, radiant skin. The makeup artist concentrated on preserving the skin’s natural texture while selecting products that impart a natural glow. The key product used was Guerlain’s ‘Parure Gold Skin Matte Cushion’ which evenly disperses through a delicate mesh filter, adhering thinly and meticulously to the skin for a seamless radiance.
“The transparent glow achieved with the Parure Gold Skin Matte Cushion determines the entire mood of the skin expression.”
Additionally, a finishing touch with ‘Meteorites Light Revealing Pearls of Powder’ in 02 Rose added a subtle pearlescent finish. This combination imparts a natural, luxurious glow to the entire face, creating a bright aura as if lightly kissed by lighting.
The Details of Vibrant Cheek Color
The second element adding highlights atop radiant skin was the cheek expression. In Song Hye-kyo’s photo shoot look, two different blushes were used to create distinct moods. One was ‘Terracotta Blush’ in 00 Light Nude Color. This color offers elegance and vitality, neatly accentuating the skin tone for a clean image. Another look featured 000 Pearly Beige to express a healthy flush.
“The nude-toned cheeks harmonize with the skin expression and play an important role in bringing out the entire makeup’s texture.”
The cheeks were crafted to blend naturally into the transparent skin, rather than being applied heavily. Especially, the blush line subtly spreading to the bridge of the nose creates a candid and lively impression.
The Mood of Makeup Completed by Lip Color
In the photo shoot, Song Hye-kyo showcased two different lip makeups to express varying moods. In the first look, ‘KissKiss Be Glow Lip Balm’ in 129 Blossom Glow offered a clear, transparent gloss. This product, while being a lip balm, also raises a subtle hue, adding a pure vibe to the overall makeup.
In another look, ‘Rouge G’ Satin in 409 Tender Pink was used. Tender pink lightly dyes the lips with a calm yet distinct color, powerfully drawing the viewer’s attention to her lips. It was the perfect lip color to anchor the makeup highlighted by skin expression.
“Glossy lip balm and satin textured lipstick, each differently presented lips alter the makeup’s tone.”
Perfect Harmony with Styling
The reason Song Hye-kyo’s makeup was captivating lies not only in the products themselves but in the harmony with the overall look. In the photo shoot, alongside Fendi’s luxurious outfits, hair and nails were delicately coordinated. The stylist and makeup artist meticulously aligned color tones, textures, and shine to precisely convey the intended mood, resulting in a high-quality makeup photo shoot.
“When each product harmonizes, a person’s unique mood naturally shines through.”
Particularly in the photo shoot, she oscillated between moods full of elegance and vitality, inevitably capturing the viewer’s eyes at every angle.
Another Beauty Mood in the Cover Shoot
In this cover shoot, there wasn’t a single set makeup mood. In some cuts, a neatly romantic sentiment was portrayed with elegant pink-toned makeup, while in others, a chic, sophisticated look was demonstrated with a blend of pearls and glow. The flexibility in makeup to match the concept was thanks to the delicate technique that allowed even the same product group to express a different mood.
“Even with the same base and lip products, you can create a completely different look with slight adjustments.”
The method of not solely relying on one product but adjusting the method of skin expression and color to complete the overall mood is a valuable point of reference for everyday makeup.
In Conclusion
Song Hye-kyo’s makeup in this photo shoot carried the message of ‘luminous naturalness.’ The high-level mood created by the harmony of radiant skin expression, lively cheeks, and refined lip color demonstrates once more that detailed nuances can shine brightly.
