• 01. Why Korean Makeup Has Become a Beauty Phenomenon

  Korean makeup has gone from beauty insider secret to a global phenomenon, and it’s easy to see why. While traditional Western makeup has often focused on full coverage and dramatic colour, K-beauty tends to favour fresh, luminous skin, softly defined eyes and natural-looking lips — creating that effortless, polished finish that has become hugely popular on social media. Innovation has played a big part too. Cushion foundations, glossy lip tints, finely milled powders and beautifully coordinated eyeshadow palettes have introduced shoppers to products and textures they may not have tried before. TikTok, Instagram and the worldwide popularity of Korean music, television and fashion have accelerated the trend, while attractive packaging and increasingly accessible prices have made experimentation even easier. Most importantly, Korean makeup no longer feels difficult to find. With leading K-beauty brands now readily available through Amazon UK, achieving the Korean-inspired look has become accessible to almost everyone.
