Hello, hello!
Today I just want to do a quick little post on skincare because I’ve been quite obsessed with it lately (more than usual that is…) and I’m noticing a few trends popping up I thought you’d like to know about!
First, Korean skincare.
I have watched about a million YouTube videos in the past few days, and read about two million articles on how the general Korean population takes care of their skin. They have such beautiful skin, it’s unreal! They also use about 10 different products on their faces each night and I can’t help but wonder if that’s at least half of the reason they’re skin looks so hyper-real.
As for Korean makeup, which I’ve also been pouring over, I understand that a very dewy look is popular over there and it’s easy to see why – it’s gorgeous! I personally have never been too into matte makeup to begin with and have very few things that are truly matte, so this is great to me. Healthy, youthful skin is always in in my book.
In a (not so?) coincidental turn, “strobing” has been blowing up my Instagram. If you’re not sure yet, this supposed new trend (as I understand it) is when highlighter is applied to the high points of the face without contouring. It creates a very dewy glow that is being attributed to the French (though I think it’s very similar to the Korean look…!) and is predicted by many to be the Next Big Thing.
Whether or not “strobing” really is the new contouring, I think it’s lovely, trend or not! Now excuse me while I hunt for the perfect cushion BB cream…

Interesting observation! My instagram and blogfeeds have also suddenly been overflowing with ‘strobing’! I live in Korea and so I was kinda surprised to see what I just call ‘dewy’ or ‘glowy’ makeup becoming popular! If you’re looking for a bb cushion with a dewy effect: I use the Iope one in ‘shimmer’ and the Innisfree ‘water glow’ cushion and love both! (but they’re both low to medium coverage…)
I’m like you in that I never liked having a matte face. My skin is pale and if I powder it I look ready to go on set for a zombie movie. 😉
Korean skincare has been doing wonders for my face since I moved here two years ago, so have fun exploring! 😀 It’s all about cleansing well and using sunscreen in the end!

Thank you! That’s very helpful… I’m hoping to get a BB cushion soon, so I’ll definitely keep those in mind 🙂
