PRETTA's Korean ID-photo makeup: five steps from base to lips

Follow Korean creator PRETTA's June 2026 photo-makeup chapters with an adaptable five-step plan for base, brows, eyes, cheeks, lips and camera checks.

PRETTA's original June 2026 Korean ID-photo makeup tutorial; uploader says no ads, but no independent product testing was performed here. · PRETTA · original YouTube

Korean beauty creator PRETTA released an original ID-photo makeup video on June 6, 2026. The public description lists skincare at 00:19, base at 02:08, contour at 07:38, brows at 10:25, eyes at 11:11, blush at 16:16, lips at 17:46, finishing at 19:36 and studio at 20:14. The uploader says no advertising is included; that is a creator disclosure, not an independent product or wear test. The product list includes Korean HERA Reflection Skin Glow Foundation 17N1 Ivory, corroborated by HERA's Korean 30g SPF15/PA++ product page. Some listed products are not Korean. This is a Korean creator's useful example, not a universal Korean beauty standard. Lighting and retouching affect the final photo.

  1. 01

    Prepare familiar skincare for the shooting light

    Check the planned backdrop, lighting and clothing. Use your usual gentle cleansing and moisturizing routine. If you will be outdoors during the day, apply separate sunscreen in the proper amount according to its label; thin SPF-marked foundation alone is not proof of adequate sun protection. Avoid trying several new products right before a portrait. The original skincare chapter begins at 00:19.

    Start with thin foundation and add only where needed

    Refer to the 02:08 base chapter. HERA's Korean usage instructions for Reflection Skin Glow Foundation recommend dispensing onto the hand, spreading from the face center outward, and gently patting. These are manufacturer instructions rather than independent evidence of wear or shade performance. You can use your own familiar cushion or foundation instead. Check its appearance in the actual portrait lighting.

    Keep brow and eye makeup clean and comfortable

    The creator's brow section starts at 10:25 and eye section at 11:11. Fill only the gaps you want in your preferred brow shape. If you wear eyeliner, use short strokes on the outer skin above upper lashes, never the moist inner rim. Use clean tools; there is no need to buy the exact lenses or lashes in the video. Stop if eyes become painful, red or inflamed.

    Build blush and lip color gradually

    The video lists blush at 16:16 and lips at 17:46. Apply a small amount of a familiar cheek product and a lip color you enjoy, checking from the front and in profile. The creator's look is an example, not evidence that the same shade will look identical on your skin. Camera white balance, exposure and editing change color appearance.

    Use a test photo for final adjustments

    Use the finishing chapter at 19:36 and studio chapter at 20:14 as references. Check foundation edges, brow balance, cheek placement and lip smudges in the actual shooting light. Adjust only as desired using clean tools. Camera and retouching effects are not proof of universal cosmetic performance. Gently remove makeup afterwards.

✦ Helpful tips

  • HERA 17N1 is identified in the creator's June 2026 product list; formulas, shade ranges and availability can vary across markets and over time.
  • The uploader's no-advertising statement is disclosed as a claim from the video description, not this site's testing.
  • There is no single ideal skin tone, face shape or makeup finish for an ID photo.

ⓘ Keep in mind

  • FDA cautions against sharing eye cosmetics and using dirty applicators. Stop for infection or irritation and seek care if symptoms persist.
  • Keep makeup tools off the inner eye rim and never apply mascara in a moving vehicle.
  • Do not depend on an SPF15 foundation as your only sun protection; follow the separate sunscreen label in your country.
