Korean Girls Beauty Trend


KOREAN BEAUTY TRENDS

South Korea is known for many things: the world’s fastest internet, one of the world’s most impressive national economies in terms of growth in the last 50 years, and it’s status as the beauty product mecca of the 21st century also known as Korean girls beauty trends.
In fact, a savvy Western girl can’t read Vogue, Glamour, or Refinery29 without stumbling upon an article singing the praises of BB creams, Etude House’s latest lipstick, or the konjac sponge. One thing’s for sure, Korean girls truly are the world’s true beauty gurus…and let me tell you why:

1. Their skincare regimen is highly personalized,and super detailed.
The infamous 10 (some say 12) step Korean skincare regimen is one of the most thorough in the world. The steps stay the same, but each lady has her own preferred products and application techniques. For details on this impressive display of skincare primping and priming check out this article from Peach and Lily. Keeping in mind, ladies execute this twice a day. ; )

2. They have been highlighting and countouring long before any Kardashian.
Korean girls have been highlighting and countouring for decades. This “expert” makeup technique is just a part of daily beauty life for South Korean ladies. The result? They highlight and contour with a light hand, and blend away tell-tale lines and harsh shadows. Kim Kardashian could take a few pointers on how to blend from these BeautyBlender brandishing babes.

3. They know the true definition of the “natural look” and the made up look.
Western women often try to nail the natural look when it comes to make up and end up over-doing it. Korean gals are such beauty afficiandos that they can wear a full face of makeup and look dewy and fresh. The secret is executing a “you, but better” makeup application. Follow the planes of the face, highlight and contour lightly. Line the eyes, and choose a punchier version of your natural lip color for a lipstick. Voila! Korean natural glam!

4. They are the world’s highest dollar value proportionate cosmetics and skincare spenders.
The South Korean cosmetics industry alone is worth $10 Billion, conservatitely. With so many options for purchase, and skincare that comes in every form from serum, tonic, lotion, spritz, spray, emolient, and cream…you can bet that South Korean women are well read on how to spend their earnings when it comes to beauty.

5. They know when to spend serious dough and when to scrimp.
Korean women know that a few tried and true staples work best for every day wear, and that these pieces…much like wardrobe investment pieces should be excellent quality and non-trendy. Rather than making turquoise mascara (that might get discontinued at the end of the Summer) your go to, why not make Dior’s DiorShow (a cult favorite that will never go away) your staple mascara!? Korean women go cheap on the trendy items that they might apply for weekend outings and events.
