I’ve been wondering if good makeup actually depends more on the skin underneath than the makeup products themselves.

Do you think makeup can still look really good on textured skin, or does skincare make the biggest difference overall?

Be honest because I KNOW I’m not the only one who’s been influenced 😭 Whether it was an idol makeup artist mentioning it, an actress using it in a GRWM, airport photos, a drama close-up shot, or just seeing someone’s skin/lips look insanely good and immediately searching for the product. And did it actually live up to the hype or was it just celebrity power?
I feel like Korean celebrities influence K-beauty trends so fast compared to anywhere else. One idol uses a lip tint once and suddenly it’s sold out for months!

I feel like the skincare world is always talking about the same handful of ingredients: retinol, vitamin C, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, etc. But I'm curious about the ingredients that don't get nearly as much attention despite giving you great results. Is there an ingredient that made a noticeable difference for your skin and made you wonder why more people aren't talking about it?
