Before Nevertheless, where she starred opposite Song Kang, Han So-hee was best known to Filipinos for being the other woman in The World of the Married. She was also in the historical drama 100 Days My Prince. Recently, she also appeared in My Name as a woman out for revenge.
Han So-hee’s choice of roles always surprises us. She is never boring. She is set to appear in Soundtrack #1, a music drama, opposite Park Hyung-sik.
Han So-hee first appeared in SHINee’s “Tell Me What To Do” music video in 2016. Even then, she was a standout not just because of her physical appearance but also because she could act. What I like about Han So-hee is that she has an air of mystery about her, even when she’s being interviewed. She also seems to be a strong and confident woman.
In terms of physical appearance, I like that Han So-hee has beautiful unfathomable eyes. Her smooth skin is also enviable. Beyond that, I appreciate how versatile she is as an actress. She can star opposite anyone and somehow bring her whole attractively mysterious aura to the screen so that you’re drawn to her and her co-star.
There are so many beautiful actresses. But not everyone is like Han So-hee. She is a gem of her generation.
Because of Han So-hee’s popularity in the Philippines, it’s not a surprise that she’s been tapped to be the new face of BYS Philippines and a co-collaborator for a line of lipsticks, called Lip Nectar.
“We were drawn to Han So-hee’s beauty, her energy, her versatility, her professionalism, and her personality. BYS has always encouraged creativity and expressing yourself through our products and campaigns. We’ve always championed loving yourself hard and in doing so, uncovering beauty that’s uniquely yours. Han So-hee fits the bill to a tee,” said Angie Goyena, president of iFace Inc.
#UncoverEffortlessBeauty is the hashtag of the BYS-Han So-hee campaign and this 27-year-old Korean actress and model indeed represents our idea of effortless beauty.
The shades of Lip Nectar are all named after flowers: Blossom, Cherry, Tulip, Poppy, Rose, Dragonlily, Orchid and Poison Ivy.
The formula of Lip Nectar is that of a lip cream. It glides on smoothly. I thought it would be like a liquid lipstick but it’s not. We wore Blossom for around six hours and it faded well. I hate it when a lipstick fades and leaves a ring around the lips. Lip Nectar doesn’t do that. It fades evenly. It wasn’t drying, too, it’s also very opaque when applied but it was not drying. I have yet to test whether Lip Nectar is mask-proof but here’s what I learned two years since the pandemic started and we began wearing masks: only Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick is mask-proof. There’s a Korean lipstick that they say is mask-proof but it’s not.
As someone who loves lipsticks, I miss wearing them every day. Pre-pandemic, the best part of my day was choosing what lipstick shade I’d wear for the day. In 2020 and early 2021, I’d still wear lipstick for Zoom meetings but I stopped doing that recently, as have many of the women I know. A lot of beauty girls have turned to wearing lip gloss instead of lipstick. I’m imagining that once the pandemic is over, women will pucker up again.
Hopefully, new lipstick launches will also excite women again. At P499, Lip Nectar is a good buy. I know people are tired of multi-use products but Lip Nectar also works well as a blush on the cheeks as it’s easy to blend.
BYS Philippines said the Lip Nectar shades are a tribute to Han So-hee’s cool girl persona and her strong and bold roles.
“It is such an honor to become a brand ambassador of BYS and I’m also happy to get close with my overseas fans who are always supporting and loving me. Please stay tuned for more collaborations of mine with BYS. Mahal ko kayo!” said Han So-hee.
The BYS Lip Nectar is available at Watsons and The SM Store, and online via Shopee, Lazada, and Amorfia.
