Korean beauty, often called K-beauty, refers to skincare and makeup inspired by South Korean beauty routines. Common categories include cleansing balms, toners, essences, serums, sheet masks, moisturizers, cushion foundations, and lip tints.
No. A Korean skincare routine can be simple. Cleansing and moisturizing can form the foundation, while toners, essences, and serums are optional additions. The number of steps depends on your preferences and the products you choose.
Toners and essences are distinct skincare categories, though their textures can overlap. Toners are commonly applied after cleansing and often have a watery consistency. Essences typically follow toner and may have a watery or slightly thicker texture. Product directions determine placement in a routine.
Korean skincare includes watery liquids, milky lotions, gels, emulsions, and rich creams. An emulsion is generally a lightweight, lotion-like format. Exploring these textures can help beginners choose products that suit their preferred feel and routine.
Common Korean makeup formats include cushion foundations, lip tints, cream blushes, and finely milled powders. Cushion foundations dispense liquid makeup through a sponge-filled compact, while lip tints emphasize lip color. Finishes range from soft matte to dewy.
