These look so stunning! So cool for everyone!

What is everyone's favorite advent calendar for Asian beauty? Been searching around for one but most focus more on skincare when I'd rather the focus be on makeup. The closest thing was the Yesstyle one but that's sold out sadly.

I was wondering whether anyone has got their hands on the new JLT formula yet. If so, how does it compare?

I have some concerns about colour changes. As far as I'm aware, Rom&nd haven't said they're changing any existing colours. Howeverrrr, this image from their insta shows Nucadamia looking really light on the lips, and it's grouped with the more delicate colours. This is troubling, as for me the old Nucadamia is pretty dark and is also a beloved ride or die.

I have cool toned sort of olivey skin and finding a true nude that doesn’t lean red or pink is so difficult!! Currently the closest I’ve gotten is peripera #18 nude area but it still looks red. Any tips/reccs?

Hi all,

I bought the anti-blemish SOS gel from Jowaé when I was in Europe, and I loved it. But the product is not available in the US. Does anyone know a good kbeauty dupe that is available in the US? The ingredients are antioxidant lumiphenols, sacred lotus, teatree leaf oil, and bakuchiol.

Here is a lnk to the the product: https://www.caretobeauty.com/us/jowae-anti-blemish-sos-gel-10ml?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAi_G5BhDXARIsAN5SX7pND1lrTaHrAU-UJoHlUJdvyTw1GABOmipR5pGpxtNQgh2VXwGg3QYaAtphEALw_wcB

I know I can get it on care to beauty, but I would love something available on Jolse.

Build Me A Routine, /r/AsianBeauty! Please refrain from just stating a skin concern then expecting people to build a routine from scratch. It is important to do due diligence in understanding your skin type and needs. Learn more here in The New User Guide. You can also search the subreddit here.

Rude comments and snark. Fairly self explanatory but for more detail, check out our Posting Guidelines

When directing someone to the sidebar provide specific links. i.e. for someone asking about Allergies or Beginner Guides, link them to the specific subsections within AB University, rather than saying it’s in the sidebar.

Finally, a reminder that no one is obligated to answer your questions. If you have repeatedly asked the same question without a response, it may be best to review and see if it can be reworded or if the information is already in the thread or readily available in the sidebar materials.

I wear sunscreen everyday but I only apply it in the morning… does this work? What do you do?

I'm in Chiang Mai for 5 days more and i am wondering what to get. I already got 2, 10g tubes of 0.025% tretinoin. And now i am wondering if i should get 4% Hydroquinone or 20% Azelaic Acid?

This is my fifth bottle..It helps so much with barrier repair and overall health of my skin..I have combination ,sensitive skin..It has replaced my moisturiser and sits well under makeup too..A viral product for a reason!

I have been using the Lador keratin power glue since 1 week.It does add shine to my hair,but I feel it makes my hair a bit rough and dry.The redken acidic bonding concentrate works much better at half the price. I won't repurchase.

Preferably VERY waterproof

Hi everyone! Like the title said, what are some products you wish you could use but for some reason can't?

For me it's the Laniege Blue Intensive Moisturizer and the NATURE REPUBLIC Ultra Steam cream. I loved the texture of both and how they melted into my skin but the fragrance irritated the heck out of my skin and nose. Both Moisturizer made my skin plump and soft but I prefer to not feel like my skin is burning.

Currently using Illiyoon gel but i think its not enough,have also used illiyoon cream in the past but looking for something new..i use tretinoin too...

I've tried a few, including the WAKEMAKE - Real Ash Brush Liner (I recall being quite waterproof and smudge proof, but a pain to use and weirdly transparent), WAKEMAKE - Real Ash Pencil Liner (so dry that I didn't use it, didn't work on the waterline), Clio So Sharp So Simple Pencil Liner (The one before the latest renewal they probably slightly updated the formula, it was much more pleasant to use but still not strong enough for my teary eyes). I also tried a liquid loreal infallible one that claimed to be waterproof- not at all waterproof, let alone smudgeproof. I'm never buying drugstore eyeliner again.

I have made an order for a Judydoll liquid liner and the renewed Clio one that should arrive in a couple days so I will keep you all updated. I wanted to ask your thoughts on great waterproof and smudgeproof asian eyeliners? I am searching for an eyeliner that could survive a flood of tears.

ive heard a lot about how good the momori hair cream smells but i heard it doesn't last too long. any non-perfume long lasting products that smell good that you guys like?

I feel like HA is a liar, and it isn't hydrating no matter how damp your skin is. So what are some other moisturizing under eye creams you love without HA? Any you love that are firming, preferably with peptides, instead of retinol?

Hi all! I adore K-beauty but typically watch youtube while I work or am puzzling etc. Because I'm multitasking I can't really read subtitles.

Does anyone have channels that focus on k-beauty (could also be daily vlogs) but that are in English?

Mods don't be authoritarian

I saw the Cle de Peau snow globe on the brand’s Instagram and have been trying to find it since. I love the pastel and whimsical aesthetic of their holiday release, especially the snow globe. I don’t see it available for purchase on their website (US) and I don’t see it available at Cos Bar, Nordstrom, or other retailers. I have only seen a couple being sold on eBay for hundreds of dollars. Is the Cle de Peau snow globe real, and if so, where can I buy one?

I haven’t heard others talk about this so I’m not sure if it’s that common. But people rave about the product so I’m curious to know if it happens for others as well. Whenever I apply melano cc, unless I came fresh out of the shower and I’m squeaky clean, typically after rubbing the serum around it kicks up a lot of dead skin as if I was exfoliating. It’s kind of annoying because I have to cleanse my face again and reapply so I don’t feel grimy.

Anyone else face this issue?

Did you try a new product and you're not sure why it's breaking you out? Want to see if others aren't loving a rave product as much as you are? We all know skincare is YMMV, but here's a dedicated space where we can crowdsource-find the culprit!

Important information to include:

• Your skin type, country, climate
• Current routine/products
• Any recent changes (diet, skincare, lifestyle, climate, etc.)
• Any known allergies (skincare, dietary, nasal, etc.)
• How's your skin's moisture barrier (see why this is important)
• Ingredients of the product in question

As a reminder, we are not doctors. If you have concerns that merit a visit to a hospital, dermatologist, or GP; see a professional ASAP.

Please keep all discussions focused on AsianBeauty products.

I am fairly new to the world of Asian skincare, so please pardon me if I vastly misunderstood something.

I always considered 'sensitive skin' to represent dehydrated, irritable, eczema/rosacea-prone conditions, so when I began researching AB products that claim to treat these concerns, more often than not, they turned out to be tailored for acne-prone skin. (Now, I completely understand that the development of acne can also be a result of the skin's reaction to something), but I just want to understand what 'sensitive skin type' entails then and whether it has a slightly different connotation than in the West. If so, how would you describe dry, itchy, red skin type then? Any input is greatly appreciated :)

This cleanser has been my HG since 2 years. I used to cleanse my face both in the AM and PM, ocassionally thrice a day if I was dressing up for a night or something. I did notice my skin getting oilier over these years. A few months ago, I started using it thrice ( used it during shower along with AM and PM). I was doing this without much thought and I noticed my skin getting even more oilier and I was getting the worst pustule kinda acne. Anyway I finally regained my consciousness lol and started using CeraVe hydrating cleanser and my skin is turning into what it used to be 3 years ago( dry-combo). Did anybody else experience something similar?
