Korean Makeup

Lately Korean culture has received a great boost and become quite popular. This because of:
(a) Technological advancements
(b) K-Pop ie the famous Korean pop music
(c) K-dramas....I might be slightly addicted
(d) Makeup trends

For a great makeup look you can check some of these videos out :

Okay now for my take on it.

So starting with a clean face apply moisturizer.
Then follow up by using an illuminating base/primer. A good one I like is the L'Oreal Lumi Magique.
Now either apply a BB Cream, or spot treat any problematic areas or apply a foundation that has a dewy finish. For this look we cannot use powder or anything matte. However, if you have oily skin apply a little of translucent powder on your T-Zone.
How concentrate on your brows. If you feel yours are quite good than good for you I however need to fill mine in. To achieve a softer look use powder. The I generally tend to also use a tinted brow gel in a shade that is lighter than the colour of my brows.
Now moving on to eyes. First use a primer or a good concealer on your eyelid and follow in with a light sparkly or pearly colour such as a champagne or a soft pink. Also add a bit of a taupe or browm colour in the crease BUT keep it light.
Now add eyeliner. They tend to flick theirs out. For a sexier look do a cat flick for a more innocent look drag the line slightly downwards. 
Add a coat of black mascara and after it dries apply false lashes if you want to.
Now using the same illuminating primer or a liquid highlighter highlight the cheekbones and any other feature you would like to bring out.
Add a soft pink or coral colour on the apples of the cheeks, preferably a cram blush.
Finish the look off by using a tint/stain/lipstick at the center of the lips and blending it slightly SLIGHTLY out. You need to create a soft gradient effect. The lip colour can either be pink,red or orange, as these seem the most popular colours.

Hope this was helpful! Remember beauty is subjective so be yourself and let that shine through. Make up is just a tool not a lifestyle or mask.
