It’s every women’s dream to be wearing the trendiest look when going out with your hottest date of your life. It is no secret that there are loads of “Korean makeup or beauty secrets” out there in the world of google, but which is the ONE?
As the Chinese saying goes “世界上没有丑女人，只有懒女人“, which translates to there are no ugly women, but only lazy ones. I for one believe so, as showcased in our article on achieving the “Glass Skin“; it takes loads of effort and perseverance rather than a magic moment. Many would believe the magic to Korean beauty being cosmetic surgery, but things really go deeper than that. In recent times, there are loads of viral videos on how women were transformed just with good makeup skills; and many of these transformations were often mind-blowing (I call it a scam).
Good cosmetic surgery only creates the base for beauty, but maintenance is essential; and good makeup adds the shine to that beauty. Instead of showcasing “The Trend” (which gets updated regularly), I will teach you how to fish instead. Check out the ambassadors leading the Korean beauty (K-Beauty) trend, and you will sure find a style for yourself.
