Everyone that knows me will know that I love Korean makeup brands. They're usually pretty cost effective and they work well with my darker Asian skin tone. I currently have these products in my travel makeup bag. I have a lot of long-haul flights from North America to Asia for work. To ensure I don't stick out while I travel abroad, I shift to a lighter, more youthful make up look. Less is more in Asia.
