If there was anything that had our attention other than Kim Tae Hee's ovely wedding dress, it was her radiant bridal look. Behind the look was Korean makeup artist Jung Saem-mool, who has also worked with various known artists including Jeon Ji-hyun, Song Hye-gyo, Lee Hyori, Boa as well as Chinese actress Tang Wei on the set of Chinese movie "Lust, Caution". Here's how you can achieve her look too.

Straight brows
There's a reason why the iconic straight Korean-style brows are so wildly popular. They don't just lend soft structure to the face, they bring a youthful vibe. Apply with feathery strokes and draw with a light hand though - brows too harsh might have you looking like Crayon Shin Chan.
Subtly defined eyes
You want soft definition rather than going all out with the eyeliner or smokey eyes. Keep to neutral colours, and a hint of eyeliner (you can also opt to gently smudge it for a softer look), and coatings of mascara for fuller, longer lashes. Wearing falsies? Individual lashes create a more natural effect.
Flawless complexion
With good skin, there's really no need to cover up with layers of concealer and foundation. (Check out our tips for perfect skin before the wedding) But if you do, start with a light base before building up the layers to prevent streaking and caking. Go for foundations or BB creams with a dewy finish rather than a matte one. A good primer helps ensure your makeup glides on like a dream, too.
Strategic highlighting
Highlighters are responsible for imparting that bridal glow. Dust lightly along your nose bridge, brow bones, chin and forehead for a natural, illuminating effect.
Glossy Lips
Matte lips might be on trend now but there's something about glossy kissers that look super pretty and glamorous. Jung Saem-mool went with a bright pink lip that lent fun, femininity and youthfulness to Kim Tae Hee's look.
