Asia, with its ideals of beauty, has more to offer than
porcelain skin and geisha makeup. In Korea and Japan, trends and technologies
were born for the whole world, and in China, traditional medicine is making its
way into the world of beauty as natural cosmetics. technologyiesBut in addition to being fascinating and different, some
trends seem downright crazy to people in the Western world.
Korea: beauty pioneers for everyone, shaving and snail
drool
South Korea is considered a pioneer in cosmetics and facial
treatments. For the inventors of BB-Cream, clear and flawless skin is the ideal
of beauty; This means that all the remedies, masks, and makeup tools that
promise smooth and flawless skin are popular. In Korea, therefore, new
innovative products hit the market every year, some of which are also becoming
absolute trends. More recently, it was BB-Cream; completely unknown are the
foundations, BB-Creams, and blushes, offered as "Cushion," a pillow. With
light pressure, the makeup penetrates the delicate pores, like with a sponge.
The compact makeup drums are flat and practical and therefore ideal to carry.
Also popular in this country: the glow, in Korea
"Gwang,"
the radiant light of
the skin. But while we settle for the same pearl powder over and over again,
there is a new Gwang every season in Korea, sometimes with a wet sheen,
sometimes with a subtle or pinkish glow, and as if from within. Not all the country's
trends reach us because they also include a lot of strange beauty rituals.
The perfect porcelain complexion is so essential to
Koreans that now some also find the fine hairs on their faces dull,
the light fuzz that almost all women have. That is why it is
no longer just the gentlemen who stand in the morning in front of the mirror
with sparkling faces and razors. It is also becoming increasingly popular with
women to shave every day. Korean women even have more space to work than men
because the fine down grows on their faces. So for perfectly smooth doll skin,
you should also shave your forehead and cheeks; only the eyebrows remain. All
the effort should be worth it, as the skin should look smoother and plumper due
to irritation during shaving. And after two days at the latest, do you have tiny
beard hairs and razor bumps on your face? Fortunately, you don't have to copy
everything.
Korea is also known for its wide range of facial care
products.
For masks alone, entire
stores have nothing on their shelves other than an incredible selection of face
masks for every skin problem imaginable. Products with a good portion of snail
slime are popular today. It was already known in ancient Greece for its skincare
properties and is currently experiencing its return to Korea. We want to
forgive this incredible trend with the country regularly providing us with new
and booming beauty inventions.
Japan - eyelashes and girlish things
What are the mask stores for Korea? The false eyelash stores
are for the Japanese. The unprecedented sizeable global selection can be found
in a large aisle in every cosmetic store and leaves nothing to be desired—different
lengths, materials, colors, decorations, and styles. There are also eyeliners
and masks in all variations, the Japanese love beautifully highlighted eyes. In
Japan, facial shaving is becoming more and more popular among women, not even
here to combat a woman's beard. Japanese foundations are highly pigmented to
achieve porcelain skin, and just one coat is enough to turn the face into a
perfect canvas for subsequent makeup.
The comic style of manga comes from Japan, and thus the
trend of manga among fans worldwide who also like to dress up as their favorite
comic book characters. The costumes, which in this country would only be
conceivable at conventions and most for carnival, are popular in Japan among
cosplayers who enjoy playing comic book heroes at parties and events.
Additionally, part-time heroes outfit themselves with oversized contact lenses,
false eyelashes, colored wigs, and c
