Who knew that leaving a nine-year post as a secretary could be this hard?
That’s the plot for the new Korean drama “What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim?” that stars the charismatic Park Seo-joon and beautiful Park Min-Young as they portray the role of Vice President of a major corporation, Lee Young-joon and his secretary Kim Mi-so, respectively.
This light-hearted drama received many great reviews since its premiere in June. Park Min-Young clean and wearable makeup in the show has also become a hot topic amongst viewers of the show. Read on to find out how you can recreate her polished and professional look.
Barely-there base makeup
Start off by evening out your canvas. Instead of reaching for a heavy foundation, veil your face with a sheer layer of tinted moisturizer. Dot your face with your go-to BB or CC cream and blend with bare fingers. With some liquid highlighter, highlight your cheekbones and nose bridge for that subtle dewy look.
Product Recommendations:
Defined brows
Anchor your minimal base makeup with a set of defined brows. Fill in the sparse areas with a brow pencil or powder. Next, go over your brows with a tinted eyebrow gel that matches your hair colour to lighten your brows and keep the eyebrow hairs in place.
Product Recommendation:
Natural flush
The fluorescent office lighting can be very harsh, so add warmth to your face with a neutral pink blush or bronzer so you don’t look too washed out.

Pearly eye shadow
With a damp brush, grab some champagne or bronze shadow and apply it to your lids with your fingers — this will lend your eyes a pearlescent luminosity.
Product Recommendations:
Brown eyeliner
While most women gravitate towards black eyeliners, Korean actresses tend to choose a more subtle brown liner instead. This helps to create a more natural lash line while also blending more easily with your eyeshadow. If you are creating a sophisticated cat’s eye, pick a more intense brown. For that gradient effect, go with a medium brown colour.

Gradient lip
A peach coral lippy is all you need to complete this makeup look. Concentrate the tint on the centre of your lips, then purse your lips together for that ultra-natural stain.
Super sleek ponytail
For a hairstyle that will pass muster with your tight-lipped HR director and googly-eyed admirer, go with the elegant super sleek ponytail. Before pulling your hair up in a ponytail, prep your hair by lifting up the roots and spraying hair spray throughout the layers underneath. Next, comb it through the head with your fingers to get a slicked-back ponytail that will not fall apart as the night goes on.
