I'm an academic researching K-culture, and I took a deep dive into K-Beauty make up and skincare when I lived in Seoul. Check out my favorites! 🇰🇷

Make Up
Best make up products for a perfect K-beauty look
Best cushion foundation on the market. Great coverage and stellar color range for K-Beauty
TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation
1
Highly pigmented and very cute packaging. Use code: SHAEPOP1024 for a discount on OliveYoung 🤓
MUZIGAE MANSION Objet Liquid Makeup Vivid Glow
The absolute best blurring loose powder I've ever used. It smooths out everything under my eyes and on my cheeks. I'm on my third one!
No-Sebum Mineral Powder | innisfree
The tone balancing primer is great to slightly change your foundation's lay down color to match your current shade. Use code: SHAEPOP1024 for a discount on OliveYoung!
Skin Setting Smoothing Base - JUNGSAEMMOOL BEAUTY
Great for filling out lashes but does sometimes have color transfer. Wear an eyelash primer with it! Use code: SHAEPOP1024 for a discount on OliveYoung!
CLIO Kill Lash Mascara (04 EXTREME VOLUME BLACK)
This is the perfect product for just a touch of shiny color. Use Code: Shaepop1024 for a discount on Olive Young!
Juicy Lasting Tint Original Series - Rom&nd US Official
Breathable BB cream that acts as a sunscreen and foundation. Doesn't oxidize and works well with powders.
MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 PA+++(50ml)
Legitimately one of the only mascaras on the market (both Western and Asian) that doesn't give me panda eyes. I have a very exaggerated lower lash line that gets smudged all the time, and this works wonders
Dailism Smudge Stop Mascara | heimish US Official
I really like the “Ash Black” color (gray stick) for a more subtle liner brow fill. Easy to work with and can double as an eyeliner if you want to have matching colors
Wakemake Real Ash Pencil Liner/Long Lasting Eyeliner
Skincare
Korea is the land of beautiful skin, and this is what I used to acheive their glassy looks
Great spray as the last step to skincare or a makeup prep step. Use code: SHAEPOP1024 for a discount on OliveYoung!
spray serum - d'Alba
People don't talk about this enough! Great for acne prone skin, decent scent, and non-irritable! Reapply throughout the day to ensure maximum coverage but otherwise great for face and body. Use code: SHAEPOP1024 for a discount on OliveYoung!
Dr.G Red Blemish Soothing Up Sun Screen
I always bring this with me when I travel in case my skin gets irritated by the change of environment (my skin dislikes different waters!). Code SHAEPOP1024 for a discount at Olive Young
Dr.G Red Blemish Clear Soothing Mask (1box-10p)
A great soothing cream for irritated or sunburnt skin. Saved my poor face when I got roasted like a lobster in the Caribbean! Use code SHAEPOP1024 for a discount at Olive Young
Madagascar Centella Cream | Skin Care - SKIN1004
A really luxurious feeling serum that gave me a really natural glow. Loved this best out of all the Beauty of Joseon serums and is far more impressive than their sunscreen. Use code SHAEPOP1024 for a discount at Olive Young
Glow Serum : Propolis + Niacinamide - Beauty of Joseon
Great for dry skin because it is a bit oiler and slippier than the Clean It Zero (which is also a decent balm). Great emulsion. Use code SHAEPOP1024 for a discount on Olive Young!
All Clean Balm 120ml - Heimish US Official
This toner has anti-fungal properties which is great for people who have sweat related acne (guilty)!
