Korean Makeup Shopping Guide for US Buyers

K-Beauty

Korean makeup is priced far below its US import cost, but shade ranges are built for a different market, so a little research before ordering saves returns you cannot make.

Where Korean buyers shop

Olive Young for multi-brand, plus direct brand stores for 3CE, rom&nd, Clio and Peripera. Brand sites usually carry the newest collections first.

Shade numbering

Korean foundation shades often run lighter and pinker than equivalent US numbers. Check swatch photos rather than trusting shade codes.

Collections sell out permanently

Limited collections are produced once. If a shade is in stock and you want it, buy it that week.

Makeup is light

A full makeup haul often weighs under 1 kg, which makes it an ideal category to combine with something heavier.
