  I have tried a lot of cushion foundations. Some were pretty. Some were convenient. Some looked amazing for about two hours and then mysteriously disappeared. After all that experimenting, I finally settled on one: JUNG SAEM MOOL Cushion . And honestly, I have been sticking with it for about two years now. Why I Love Cushion Foundations Living in the Midwest means I spend quite a bit of time driving. I also enjoy golf and hiking, often well into late fall when the weather is still surprisingly pleasant. That lifestyle has made me a huge fan of cushion foundations. Of course, my morning skincare routine comes first. I usually apply an essence, moisturizer, and a lightweight, watery sunscreen before doing my makeup. But throughout the day, especially when I am outside for hours, I find myself wanting to freshen up my complexion. This is where a cushion becomes incredibly convenient. A quick pat here and there, and my skin looks more awake again. No mirror full of makeup bottles. No ...

  When fall arrives, we usually think about changing our skincare routine. But your hair needs a seasonal upgrade, too. Cooler temperatures and drier air can leave your hair feeling rough, dull, and surprisingly difficult to manage. Add sweaters, scarves, indoor heating, and static electricity, and suddenly your smooth summer hair has turned into a frizzy mess. That is where Korean hair oils and hair essences come in. Korean hair care is all about lightweight hydration, shine, and smoothness without making your hair feel greasy. Here are five products worth adding to your fall hair routine. 1. Mise en scène Perfect Serum This is a Korean hair-care classic for a reason. Mise en scène Perfect Serum is especially popular for dry, damaged, and frizzy hair.

You can also use a tiny amount on dry hair to t...

Oily eyelids, watery eyes, humidity, and even the natural shape of your eyes can turn beautiful eye makeup into a classic case of raccoon eyes . The good news? Olive Young has plenty of Korean makeup products designed to help keep eye makeup where it belongs. 1. ETUDE Dr. Mascara Fixer If mascara is your biggest problem, start here.

  Check Price on Amazon  Lately, I have been paying a little more attention to my hair. Not because I suddenly lost a huge amount of hair, but because I started noticing that some areas—especially around the front—look a little less full than they used to. My hair also feels finer in certain areas, and once you start noticing something like that, it is surprisingly hard to stop looking in the mirror. That is when I became curious about RevitaLash , a hair-care product I first heard about through Korean model Han Hye-jin . The Hair Serum That Made Me Curious Of all the hair-care products Han Hye-jin has talked about using, the one that caught my attention most was the root-strengthening serum . She has talked about how the product helps make the hair roots feel stronger and fuller. But she also shared an interesting—and slightly funny—observation. According to Han Hye-jin, while using the product, she felt like the hair on her face also seemed to become thicker . She described ...

Fall may bring cooler temperatures, cozy sweaters, and pumpkin everything—but that does not mean your sunscreen can take a vacation. In fact, autumn can be a tricky season for your skin. The weather becomes cooler and drier, while sunlight can still be surprisingly strong. After a summer of heat and air conditioning, your skin may already be feeling a little thirsty. That means fall is a great time to switch to a more moisturizing Korean sunscreen —one that protects your skin from UV rays while also giving it a comfortable, hydrated finish. Here are five Korean sunscreens worth adding to your fall skincare routine. 1. Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++ Check Price on Amazon This is one of the easiest choices if you want sunscreen that feels more like skincare. The lightweight cream texture is comfortable on dry skin and works beautifully under makeup. Rice extract and other skin-loving ingredients make it a popular choice for people who dislike that typical “...

  There is a moment every fall when your skin suddenly decides it has had enough. One day, your skincare routine is working perfectly. Then the temperature drops, the air gets drier, and suddenly your face feels tight after washing. Your makeup looks a little flaky. Your cheeks are asking for help. Sound familiar? This is when I like to bring an essence or hydrating serum into the routine. Instead of piling on five different creams, a good Korean essence can give dry, thirsty skin an extra layer of hydration before moisturizer. Here are 5 Korean skincare favorites worth trying this fall. 1. Torriden DIVE-IN Hyaluronic Acid Serum Check Price on Amazon If your skin feels like it is constantly saying, “I need water,” start here.
