How to Create Korean-Style Smooth Skin Tone Videos for Free

Hey guys, welcome back to another tutorial! 👋 If you’ve ever wanted to give your videos that smooth, flawless Korean-style skin tone, remove pimples in just one click, and make your video look like it was professionally enhanced — then you’re in the right place. Today, I’ll show you how you can do all of this using the CPK application along with CapCut for free.

Step 1: Install CPK App

First, make sure you have the CPK application installed. If not, head over to my channel where I’ve already uploaded a guide on how to install it. Once installed, open the app and click on New Project.

Step 2: Import Your Video

Select the video you want to edit. For example, I imported a regular video that had visible pimples and uneven skin texture. We’re going to transform this into a smooth, natural Korean skin tone video.

Step 3: Use Retouch Options

• Click on the Retouch option inside CPK.
• Choose Face Retouch and adjust the amount to around 30–40.
• For pimple removal, set the adjustment to around 90–100. This removes blemishes instantly, similar to how you clean up photos.
• Adjust the Clear option to 90–100 to reduce dark circles and shadows.
• Set Smoothing between 50–60 for natural-looking skin.
• You can also shape features slightly (round face, smile lines, etc.), but don’t overdo it or it will look unnatural.

Step 4: Adjust Skin Tone

This is where the magic happens. To get the Korean-style tone:

• Select the second skin tone option.
• Set the values to -20 on one side and around +80 on the other for a bright yet natural glow.
• Highlight the eyes slightly with a +30 adjustment.
• Keep whitening between 60–70 depending on your preference.
• Adjust brightness and white tone to around 50 for balance.

Step 5: Makeup & Filters (Optional)

CPK also provides makeup options like eyeliner, eyebrows, lip color, and eye shadow. You can keep it minimal for a natural look. I usually recommend:

• Eye shadow: Set around 30–35.
• Eyeliner: Keep very light (20–25).
• Lipstick: Between 35–40.
• Blush: Around 30–40.

If you want advanced makeup editing, you can also explore apps like Fotor or Canva’s photo editor for additional filters.

Step 6: Color Grading

Click on Adjust to fine-tune:

• Brightness: Slightly decrease (-2 to -3).
• Contrast: Increase slightly.
• Saturation: Increase a little to avoid dullness.
• Clarity: Keep at +3 to +5.
• HSL: Adjust mainly Red and Orange tones for skin correction.

This step ensures your video looks professional and not overly filtered.

Step 7: Apply Final Filters

Finally, apply filters for that polished look:

• Use a Focus filter to slightly blur the background.
• Apply the 4K filter to enhance sharpness and clarity.
• Set filter strength between 20–50 to keep it realistic.

Step 8: Export in 4K

Once satisfied, click the AI Export Option at the top. Export your video in 4K 60fps with full bitrate for the best quality. The result will be a smooth, flawless Korean-style skin tone video that looks stunning on Instagram Reels, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts.

Final Thoughts

And that’s it, guys! With just a few tweaks inside CPK and some color adjustments, you can transform any regular video into a high-quality, smooth-skin masterpiece. Whether you’re making content for social media or just experimenting, this method will save you time and give professional-looking results.
