When K-Beauty first appeared on the mainstream beauty scene, it seemed like a bubble-gum fad that would pass when the novelty wore off. The odd translations of product descriptions provided amused some, but skincare junkies knew they were onto something.
Fast-forward a few years, and alien-like sheet facial masks are a necessary and expected step in our beauty routine. Words like “bouncy, jelly, and glass-skin” are not only part of the skincare label lexicon; they are words of choice to describe the coveted moist, plump, and juicy skin that is the hallmark of Korean beauty.
In honor of the Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles, K-Beauty Lounge hosted a VIP pop-up to showcase the latest and greatest K-Beauty products and brands. As expected, innovative formulations featuring Korean botanicals with a flair for enviable texture and high-performance dominated the latest offerings.
K-Beauty is here to stay, and we couldn’t be happier. Here are just a few highlights of the fabulous selection of products featured, which should be part of your next beauty haul and your bouncy, jelly, glass-skin daily routine.
