Along with K-pop and Korean dramas, Korean beauty is a huge draw for people interested in the country, language, and culture. Now, luckily enough for us, a lot of Korean makeup and skincare terms are just the English flipped into Korean! But I’ll run through a lot of things from products, skin types, makeup-specific verbs, and more, so let’s get into it.
Use Your Interest in Korean Beauty to Help You Learn!
Similar to English, there are many Korean people showing off their makeup and/or skincare on social media and YouTube. Take advantage of this! For everyone interested in Korean beauty, you can get double the benefit of learning about trending or new products in Korea, makeup techniques, styles to fit your look; and practicing your Korean! Many YouTubers have Korean subs, and some even have English subs, for you to read along as you listen and learn.
