1. How to Master Olive Young, the Mecca of K-Beauty
The most essential first step for shopping for Korean cosmetics is undoubtedly 'Olive Young.' Located throughout Korea, Olive Young stores are beauty specialty shops where you can see trendy skincare and makeup products at a glance. They are also well-equipped with immediate tax refund services for foreign tourists. When visiting a store, pay close attention to the bestseller corner. You can snag items at much lower prices than usual by taking advantage of the monthly 'Olive Young Sale.' Furthermore, if you use the Olive Young Global Mall, you can purchase the same products available in Korea from abroad, offering excellent accessibility. If you find it difficult to choose products, we recommend using the testers provided in-store to check textures and pigmentation, and asking staff for recommendations to find the best items for your skin type.
