Having double eyelids has long been a sought after beauty trend in South Korea. However, it looks like this trend is beginning to change.

Recently, there has been an increase in celebrities with single eyelids and make-up tips catering to this are on the rise.

Having single eyelids is now seen as a virtue thanks to Ahn So-hee who made her debut as a member of Wondergirls in 2007. Nowadays, Ahn is working as an actress and has featured in many fashion magazines as one of the few celebrities with single eyelids.

Kim Go-eun is a rising star in the popular TV series ‘Guardian.’ Playing the role of a high school student, Kim does not wear much make-up, emphasizing her youthful look.

Make-up artists say that the major tip to creating a flawless look for those with single eyelids is moderation. Unlike double eyelids, single eyelids should avoid using fancy eye shadow, instead opting for basic colors to create a simple and elegant look.
