Let’s face it, the buzz around Korean skincare isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. From milky rice toners and soothing centella creams to brightening toner pads, it’s clear that our skincare cupboards have had quite the revamp. Korean skincare has also made us rethink our beauty priorities, encouraging us to ditch stripping and irritating actives in favour of barrier-repairing formulas.
But as a journalist who specialises in all things K-Beauty, I also must inform you of another product category that’s equally as deserving of your attention—Korean make-up. Rooted in a skin-first philosophy, it's the antidote to the pigment-heavy approach that we’ve become so accustomed to with Western formulations.
