What You Should Know about K-beauty before going to Myeong-dong : Personal Color Matching Service  in ETUDE HOUSE Myeong-dong FSS Korean makeup brand, ETUDE HOUSE is offering a 'personal color' matching service with personal lipstick-making service by 14th of this month. ETUDE is the biggest makeup brand in Korea. It's a mass brand, but it has tons of different color shades, especially when it comes to eye shadow. And the quality is pretty good, considering the price. The reason why you should shop at this brand is that it is the real Korean makeup style brand. You can find strawberry pink color, peach coral color, and other lovely eye shadows here. The mascara pixer is really a thing. It's a must-have item for Koreans. If your mascara smudges, I highly recommend it. Apply it before applying a mascara, and it prevents smudges 99%. I haven't seen any smudging mascara not working with this. And it's only $5.52! Even cheaper if a sale is on.   Booki
