💄 Viral Korean Makeup Favorites
🫧 Korean Cleansing Essentials
Start your K-Beauty routine with cleansing favorites designed to remove makeup, sunscreen, and everyday buildup while leaving skin feeling fresh and ready for the next step.
I love using a cleansing oil as the first step of an evening skincare routine, especially when I’ve worn makeup or sunscreen during the day. This one fits perfectly into a Korean double-cleansing routine before following with a water-based cleanser. ...
ANUA Heartleaf Cleansing Oil - Viral K-Beauty
I’d use this as the second step after cleansing oil when I want my skin to feel fresh and thoroughly cleansed. I like pairing products from the same Heartleaf line to keep my cleansing routine simple and easy to follow. 🌿🫧
ANUA Heartleaf Deep Cleansing Foam
I like having another lightweight cleansing oil option for days when I want to remove sunscreen, makeup, and everyday buildup before my regular cleanser. The pump bottle also makes it convenient to keep right by the bathroom sink. 🫧✨
SKIN1004 Centella Light Cleansing Oil
This is another cleansing oil I’d reach for when doing a Korean-style double cleanse at night. I like starting with an oil cleanser to break down makeup and sunscreen before moving on to the rest of my skincare routine. 🤎🫧
Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil
Hydrating Toners & Essences
Give your routine a hydration boost with popular Korean toners and essences that help skin feel refreshed, soft, and prepped for serums and moisturizers.
I love adding a lightweight toner after cleansing because it gives me an easy first layer before applying the rest of my skincare. I’d pat this onto my skin and then follow with my serum and moisturizer for a simple layered K-Beauty routine. 🌿💧
ANUA Heartleaf 77 Soothing Toner K-Beauty
A milky toner is something I’d choose when I want my skincare routine to feel a little more nourishing. I love the idea of layering this before serum and moisturizer when I’m going for that soft, fresh-looking K-Beauty finish. 🤍✨
ANUA Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner
This is one of those K-Beauty products I see everywhere, so it definitely belongs on my viral favorites list. I’d use it after toner and before moisturizer as an extra step when I want my routine to feel more hydrating and layered. 🐌💧
COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Essence K-Beauty
I like how toner pads make it easy to add an extra skincare step without having to pour product onto a separate cotton pad. I’d keep these in my routine for days when I want a quick, convenient toner-pad step after cleansing. 💕✨
medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0 Exfoliating Toner
✨ Viral K-Beauty Serums
Discover trending Korean serums made for everything from hydration and glow to supporting a smooth, healthy-looking complexion.
I love how easy it is to add a serum between toner and moisturizer when I want to build a more complete skincare routine. This is one I’d reach for when I’m going for a fresh, glowy-looking finish. ✨🤍
Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum K-Beauty
This is the type of serum I’d add when I want a more targeted step in my routine instead of using only cleanser and moisturizer. I like that the dropper makes it easy to apply a small amount before layering on my moisturizer. 💕✨
Anua Niacinamide 10 + TXA 4 Serum Korean
I’d use this after toner as another lightweight layer before moisturizer. I love keeping serum options in my routine so I can choose what fits my skincare routine that day instead of using the exact same products every time. 🐌💧
COSRX Snail Mucin + Niacinamide Serum
I like having a separate product specifically for the delicate eye area rather than bringing every facial product right up around my eyes. I’d make this one of the last treatment steps before finishing my routine with moisturizer. 👀✨
Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum Ginseng Retinal
🧴 Korean Moisturizers & SPF
Finish your skincare routine with Korean moisturizers and sunscreens that help keep skin feeling hydrated, comfortable, and protected throughout the day.
I love finishing my skincare routine with a moisturizer to seal in all the lightweight layers I applied beforehand. This one pairs nicely with the other COSRX snail products on my list for anyone who enjoys building a coordinated K-Beauty routine. 🐌
COSRX Snail Mucin 92% Moisturizer K-Beauty
Sunscreen is one of the steps I don’t want to skip in my morning skincare routine. I’d apply this after my moisturizer as my final skincare step before moving on to makeup or heading out for the day. ☀️🤍
Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun SPF50+ K-Beauty
I like having a lightweight sunscreen option for mornings when I’m layering several skincare products. I’d use this as the last step of my daytime routine before makeup, especially when I want my layers to feel simple and comfortable. ☀️💧
SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun SPF50+
I’d reach for a moisturizing milk when I want something that fits easily into a layered skincare routine. I like using products like this toward the end of my routine after toner and serum to finish everything off with another moisturizing step. 🤍🌾
ANUA Rice 70 Intensive Moisturizing Milk
💄 Viral Korean Makeup Favorites
Complete the K-Beauty look with trending Korean makeup favorites, including cushion foundations, juicy lip tints, and gorgeous blushes for a fresh everyday look.
I love a lip tint when I want a pop of color without reaching for a traditional lipstick. This would be so cute for creating that fresh Korean-inspired makeup look, and I’d keep it in my makeup bag for quick touch-ups. 🍓💋
ETUDE Dear Darling Water Tint - K-Beauty Lip
A soft blush is one of my favorite ways to make a simple makeup look feel more finished. I’d lightly apply this to the cheeks for a pretty pop of color that works perfectly with a fresh, feminine K-Beauty look. 🌸💕
ETUDE Lovely Cookie Blush | Viral K-Beauty Blush
Cushion makeup is such a recognizable part of K-Beauty, so I wanted one on this list. I like the compact format because it’s easy to keep in a makeup bag and convenient when I want to apply or touch up my base makeup. ❤️✨
TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion | K-Beauty
I love lip products that make it easy to add color to an everyday makeup look. I’d pair this tint with soft blush and simple eye makeup for a pretty Korean-inspired look, and the compact tube makes it easy to carry in my purse. 💋🌸
