“Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha” is a charming Netflix romcom starring Shin Min-A and Kim Sun-Ho. Shin Min-A plays a fashionable city girl, Hye-Jin who moves to a rural seaside town, where she meets handyman Hong Du-sik (Kim Sun-Ho). 

There’s so much to love about the wholesome 16-episode series – from the undeniable chemistry between the leads to Shin Min-A’s beauty game. Ahead, six beauty tips to achieve Shin Min-A’s Zoom-friendly, natural beauty look in “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha”.

Middle-parted ponytail

1/6

A fuss-free way to elevate your WFH hair? Part your hair in the middle before putting it up in a ponytail. Complete your look with some shine-enhancing hair serum and you’re all set.

Non-contouring makeup

2/6

Instead of sporting deep, heavy contour, Shin Min-A is in favour of the non-contour look. Her rosy cheeks are the focal point thanks to a swirl of peachy-pink blush on the apples of her cheeks. Also adding warmth to her complexion and sculpting her face? The way the light catches and reflects off the high-planes of her face, most likely with the help of glow-giving skincare.

Natural brows

3/6

Even if you have dark brown hair or black hair like Shin Min-A, always opt for an eyebrow pencil or powder that is a shade lighter (than your hair colour). If you try to match your brow colour to your hair colour, it might look too unnatural and harsh.

Tone up

4/6

Shin Min-A is famous for her glowing mien, and her makeup looks tend to highlight that. Cop the 37-year-old star’s lit-from-within glow by brightening and evening out your skin with “tone up” creams that contain ingredients like niacinamide and fruit extracts.

Barely-there lipstick

5/6

To recreate Hye-Jin’s #MLBB look, pucker up (literally) and dab a coral lipstick on the centre of the lips with your finger.

Subtle eyeliner

6/6

You’ll never see Hye Jin with a crisp cat-flick. Instead, she only lines the upper waterline, filling in any gaps at the base. This is a good call as it creates the illusion of fuller and thicker lashes sans mascara – LOVE.
