Korean make-up is taking the world by storm. The good news is that you can experience it yourself when visiting Korea through the service offered by habkorea.net.
What’s Korean Makeup and how is it different from western makeup?
Hollywood stars whose famous for their boldness in style, fashion, and color directs an impact of a night of glamour and it mostly speaks a lot about how it will reflect their make up trends. Kim Kardashian, Jeffree Star, and other social media influencers have their own signature or statement make up. Western makeup is mostly dark and bold. From smoky eyeshadows to popping bright red lipsticks, with defined arched eyebrows and blinding highlighters. Korea with its K-idols and K-fashion industry sets trends on the type of make-up style will be in in the next season. In 2018, the Korean make-up trend that blew the netizens was the “Dewy” makeup style. It’s a style where you glow like it’s the first dew of spring, matched with fresh spring colors and very light pink/peach tones. The goal of Korean make-up is to be as natural as possible. In contrast to the western style where its glam and edgy: Korean makeup is subtle and soft.

Etude House, Face Shop, and Skinfood is very famous outside Korea. In the Philippines, each high-end mall or shopping galleries houses one of these three, sometimes all three of them in one mall. Etude Houses’ brand ambassadors are Red Velvet. Recently, they released a Velvet lipstick line with each members wearing specific colors in the collection. If you are a Red Velvet fan, and you wish to look more like Irene, you’ll definitely love every second of shopping. Face shop last year released a collaboration with Got7 members. Korean cosmetics and skincare are way forward.
Men and Skincare and Cosmetics: Yes! Not just Women!
Korea is one of the few countries which prioritizes skincare. Their love for their skin and complexion is one main agent of their effective skincare routines and lines. In other places, makeup is still associated only to women and still harbors some stigma about masculinity whenever men use skincare and makeup. But, in Korea, men take good care of their skin. Without the bias of social norm and masculinity, they pamper their skin because they really take good care of it. As what I have mentioned earlier, Got7 (a JYP KPOP idol group) advertised face shop with their “Men” skincare line. Mediheal, a famous brand in Korea and their popular facemasks were advertised by no other than “BTS” Kpop idol sensation from BigHit Entertainment who took the world by storm by ranking number 1 at Billboard. This shows, that Korean cosmetics and skincare has no gender bias in Korea That love for health and wellness is what matters in the end.
