Makeup is Making a Comeback - Episode Summary
Kbeauty News Headlines - Cosmetic Stocks Are Up on Expectation that Mask Wearing Is On Its Way Out
- Cosmetics stocks rose recently on the expectation that it's time to take off the masks and start using colour cosmetics (i.e. makeup) again.
- Expectations are rising that it is time for the cosmetics industry, which has suffered from a "beauty recession" for two years, to make a comeback

- In the post COVID-19 era, people are expected to go out more, and wear more makeup
Question of the Week: Which Korean makeup primer should I use?
- Finding your perfect Korean makeup primer really depends on your goals and your skin type.
- If you prefer to mattify everything, I’d opt for something with silicones like Banila Co Prime Primer Classic.
- If you like the dewy look then you have a wide range of products:
-
Korean primers are often the key to getting that really glowy looking skin you’ll notice Korean celebrities have. Rather than going in with highlighting products over the top, which you can definitely still do, for a more toned down ‘lit from within glow’ add the illumination part in at your base. It will give you a much more subtle but still glowing complexion.
- This is usually the way I see celebs in their 30s and up do their makeup. The younger ones usually add more glitter and highlighter, in their eye makeup as well.

New Kbeauty Product Reviews on STYLE STORY
- "So much improvement
- I have been using this cream for a couple of weeks and am really impressed with the improvement in my skin. Much less redness, smaller pores, and more even skin texture overall. I have seen an improvement in oiliness and haven’t had any breakouts from using the cream. The tea tree smell is so refreshing as well. Easily absorbed. Non sticky. Doesn’t pill with other products."
- Really liked this stuff
- "Really liked this moisturiser. I have tried so many over the years. The texture is lovely, it smells really nice and it gave a lot of hydration without feeling overly sticky. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this one again."
