The South Korean Femme Fatale’s Secrets Uncovered.
Korean Beauty has been all the rage since a few years back, and it is definitely not going away. The soft and dreamy skin of Korean celebs like Song Hye Kyo and Yoon Eun Hye has convinced us that the Koreans know their beauty stuff. Their beauty mantra? Know your skin type – and customize your beauty products to suit its needs. To help you make the most of your beauty regime, check out the following Korean beauty brands to help you work towards that chok-chok skin!

First up, we have Peripera, famous for its young and cute looking makeup products. Famous for their bright-coloured and long lasting lip products like Peri’s Ink The Velvet, they offer a range of colors that can last for at least half a day without retouching.
However, one should be warned that these lip tints are so lasting that you may need to use their specially formulated Peripera Peri’s Ink Lip Stain and Remover (photo above) to get it off at the end of the day. While this may be the perfect lip tint for the lazy girls, it may be something that budget-tight girls may want to reconsider.
Peripera Milk Blur Pang Primer: For Customized Priming Effects

Meanwhile, their other products, like their Milk Blur Pang Primer are also favourites among the Koreans for its easy absorption, skin softening and nourishing effects.
It comes in 3 flavours: Pure Milk, Peach Milk, and Banana Milk, each designed for different skin. Whether you are looking for a normal toning primer (Banana Milk Blur recommended), an all-in-one primer and foundation product (Peach Milk Blur recommended), or a primer that brightens up your skin (Pure Milk Blur recommended), Peripera’s line offers a range to help suit your beauty needs.

The hottest beauty trend today gravitates towards a natural and chemical free skincare – and is exactly what isoi offers. Grounded on a philosophy that advocates nature and health, their hero products come from the Bulgarian Rose Line that uses top grade Bulgarian Rose Oil to vitalize skin.If you are looking for beauty products that are free from chemicals, isoi may be a good choice to consider. Said to be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, its fragrance also has a therapeutic effect to soothe the user during the application.
COSRX: For Problem Skin Targeting
Built upon the idea of COSmetics that has RX-ed (ie. A common term in pharmacy that refers to prescription, countermeasure, treatment, disposal, and solution), COSRX aspires to deliver targeted skin solutions of high quality cosmetic standards.
Many of its products target common skincare troubles like blackheads and blemishes, but its most well-loved product amongst the South Koreans would be the COSRX Low PH Good Morning Gel Cleanser.
Specially made to to suit the optimal pH level for our skin, the cleanser contains tea-tree oil and natural BHA to keep those pimples away! With the wide range of facial cleansers out there, a simple one like this is not only refreshing on the skin, but also refreshing to hear.

Similar to isoi, Klairs offers gentle skincare products free of colorants, alcohol, parabens, and artificial fragrances. However, Klairs offers a wider range of products, and has a greater focus for those who has sensitive skin. The product that hits the sweet spot amongst the Koreans ;) ?
Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish. To combat the dirt and dust in our everyday Singaporean city life, exfoliation is definitely a must. Compared to other exfoliators who may be too harsh on your skin and end up drying it, Klairs’ version promises to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, dry skin, and blackheads while moisturizing your skin for a smoother complexion. Time to say goodbye to cakey makeup caused by dry skin!
That’s all on our list for now! While we embrace the K-beauty trends, it is important to understand its underlying philosophy of targeting and giving your skin what it needs to make your beauty regimen effective – an important lesson we often forget in face of fads and sweet talking by sales people. Always remember to keep in mind what your skin needs, and find the products best suited for you from there!
