IT’S KEAUTY TIME!

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it twice: A perk of having a paid abelskin subscription is gaining full access to exclusive K-beauty info. Here, you’ll find premium reporting that you can’t find anywhere else, so consider upgrading to unlock the full abelskin experience!

Remember last week’s list of award-winning Korean skincare products? Well, I’m back with the winners from the makeup and hair categories, including the glossy lip tints, liquid blushes, everyday eyeshadow palette, and scalp refresher that people in Korea are loving right now.

Here’s a quick refresh on each platform’s ranking system:

• Powder Room & Glowpick → Ranks top 3 in each category

• Hwahae → Themed categories with subcategories of first-place winners i.e.

  • Glow Forward = “New Brands with Proven Performance and Real Reviews”

  • Trending Glow Awards = “What’s Trending Now—Real-Time Rising Star Picks!”

OK are you ready for some fun K-beauty picks?

👀 EYES & BROWS

♥️ = I’ve used before and loved.

Wakemake Soft Blurring Eye Palette (OYG)

Someone plz bring this back from Korea for me! It features a matte formula that creates a dreamy blurred effect on your lids alongside ultra-fine glittery shadows. #08 Candy Coral Blurring colorway is the most popular, but I have my eyes on Blue Core Blurring and High Pink Blurring.

• Powder Room #1 Best Eyeshadow Palette

• Hwahae Best Powder Eyeshadow

3CE Eye Switch (OYG)

I have no idea why this brand is so inaccessible in America when L'Oréal literally bought them out in 2018. What was the point?! Americans would love 3CE! If you’re in Korea and want to know what else to shop for from this brand, check out their blushes and lip products, particularly the Blushlighter and Blur Water Tint.

• Powder Room #2 Best Eye Glitter

• Glowpick #3 Best Liquid Eyeshadow

Clio Sharp So Simple Waterproof Pencil Liner (Amazon)

Less than $11!

• Glowpick & Hwahae #1 Best Pencil Eyeliner

Too Cool For School Frottage Pencil (Amazon)

For some quick shimmer that you can easily throw in your purse.

• Glowpick #1 Best Stick Eyeshadow

• Hwahae Best Pencil Eye Makeup - Eyeshadow

♥️ Etude Curl & Fix Mascara (Amazon)

Doesn't smudge or flake, but be ready for a challenging removal process. An oil cleanser is extremely essential. 

• Glowpick & Hwahae #1 Best Curling Mascara

Peripera Speedy Skinny Brow Mascara (DTC)

Has a super skinny brush that looks easy to use.

• Powder Room #2 Best Eyebrow Product
