Many would often relate Korean and Japanese beauty products to the weird contraptions that Internet personalities would test out. If the nose bridge and facial contour rollers ring a bell, you know what I’m talking about.

As recent trends would show us, people are now getting into Asian beauty. This is mostly rooted from people’s curiosity and fascination with Asians’ almost flawless skin. But this also opened beauty junkies to more makeup and skincare products to try. So we listed down a few Korean and Japanese brands that you should get your hands on.

Japanese

Known for their pigmented eyebrow products, K-Palette has gained a cult following here in the Philippines as of late. Makeup artists have also used these on celebrities like Lauren Reid, Nadine Lustre, and Bianca King. Available at select SM Beauty stores.

Majolica Majorca

Majolica Majorca’s magical-looking packaging speaks true to its goal to “fulfill all the wishes” of women. And that is to look like the best version of themselves. Several beauty blogs have also raved about the brand’s mascaras that claim to make you look doll-like. So that’s enough reason for you to cop a tube of your own. Available at select Watson’s stores.

Tatcha

If you’re looking for a cruelty-free brand that caters to sensitive skin, Tatcha is the brand for you. Their makeup and skincare items contain ingredients and attributes that are distinct to Japanese culture like cherry blossoms and green tea. One look at their bestseller list, which is mostly skincare, and you’ll know that many are aiming for that healthy and flawless look. Available online.

RMK

Japanese makeup artist Rumiko created a line of products that will highlight one’s natural features. “Makeup is about making you feel happier, sexier and fresher. It’s not something that masks your natural skin. It exists as a factor to bring out the beauty within you,” she said. To achieve this, their Liquid Foundation and Makeup Base are highly recommended. Available on Beauty MNL.

Canmake

StyleNanda, Korea’s answer to H&M, came up with their own makeup line to match with their chic apparel. They have every product you need and they don’t skip out on the pigment.

Espoir

What makes Espoir  great is how it has so many dupes for high-end makeup items at half the price. Before getting the Giorgio Armani Maestro foundation, you may want to consider their Nude Liquid Powder Foundation instead. Available online.
