Both on and off screen, Australian actress Yerin Ha has the ethereal glow of an angel. TBH, it was all I could notice while delving into season four of Bridgerton. I managed to binge all available episodes the day after it came out and I couldn't get enough of Ha's character Sophie Baek: the courageous maid reconnecting with her own self-worth. While this aspect of the season's plot is incredibly important, as a beauty editor, I also I deem Ha's next-level glass skin equally as important and worthy of investigation. I hoped she would reveal at least a few of her secrets to us mere mortals. Well, ask and you shall receive.
Ha decided to bless us with an episode of Vogue's Beauty Secrets and she spilled all the tea. Even before I watched the video, I immediately clocked Ha as a Korean skincare girlie. Her signature glow is totally on par with the glassy sheen that K-beauty products are known to deliver. Sure enough, I was right. Ha told Vogue that she got into skincare at a young age. "I would go to Korea once a year to visit my grandparents," she said. "Korea has really affordable skincare products and I was always buying a three-step routine for like $10 before inflation became a thing!"
That habit stuck with her. She still uses a few cult-loved Korean products in her routine along with some other powerhouse skincare brands that are 100% beauty editor-approved. For all of Ha's skincare and makeup favorites, keep on scrolling—her everyday edit is below.
She starts her skincare routine off with Tatcha's creamy rice cleanser with hayluronic acid, red algae, and Japanese rice powder. It's perfect for dry or dehydrated skin and leaves it baby soft after using it.
When her skin is feeling stressed, she uses the Mugwort Mask from Korean brand I'm From. It helps calm it down immediately with mugwort extract, an antimicrobial that helps fight off bacteria and fungi on the skin.
Glow Recipe's pore-tightening tonic is one of her secrets to glowy skin. This cult-loved toner hydrates and exfoliates with watermelon extract, cactus water, and a blend of PHAs and BHAs that gently decongest the skin without causing irritation.
She describes this serum-mask as having a weird jelly consistency, but it's packed with a whopping 30% of vitamin A, C, E and hyssop extract to give a glass skin glow. She also uses it with her gua shua tool to boost circulation, de-puff, and encourage lymphatic drainage on the face. When she has time, she'll really go get a "skin workout" with FaceGym.
For an eye cream, Ha swears by this viral hit from Beauty of Joseon. Featuring star ingredients like retinal and youth-enhancing ginseng, it's perfect for hydration and a boost of radiance under the eye area.
This dewy moisturizer from Tatcha is another key product in Ha's glowy skin secret recipe. It features protective antioxidants, prebiotic green tea extract, and zinc hyaluronate to balance oil production in the skin, making it perfect for oilier skin types.
Next, she finishes with this cult-loved Korean sunscreen which is a light, airy formula that feels more like a moisturizer than a sunscreen.
Ha says that like many of us, she learned to do her makeup on YouTube. Although she says she's "not that girlie" when it comes to a flawless execution (same), she keeps her base layer fresh and simple with Armani Beauty's Golden Hour Lightweight Skin Tint.
She then likes to use Dior's concealer at the corners of her eyes and on any blemishes. I also love this formula's wand applicator because it makes it super easy to apply. The formula is also amazing enough to use as a foundation IMO.
This rich, creamy eye shadow stick is another favorite of hers. She quickly applies this with her fingers to add extra dimension to the eyes.
She loves a classic winged liner and uses Dior's diorshow liquid liner in brown to achieve the look. She isn't a fan of black for everyday wear because it's a tad harsh.
This silky Chanel powder blush is also in Ha's makeup bag. It adds radiance and the perfect wash of color on the cheeks. It's also incredibly buildable so you can go for a more subtle look or a bit more drama.
Her bronzer of choice is Ilia's Sunshift formula. Designed to mimic that "golden hour glow," it adds so much warmth and radiance to the skin that it's basically a highlighter and bronzer in one.
Ha has struggled with short lashes her whole life, but says she gets them permed. To add some length and volume, she uses Hourglass's Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara.
