If you’re a fan of makeup and interested in K-beauty, then Amazon Prime has a great show for you - it’s called “Just Makeup.” But have you ever wondered which products and tricks the artists in this show use? I got you! This post is going to be a bit long, so watch the show first, and then let me show you some products that you might add to your daily makeup.

What’s “Just Makeup”?
If you saw Culinary Wars or The Influencer on Netflix, then you’re going to love this show! The difference is that Just Makeup is a Coupang show. Coupang is an e-commerce platform similar to Amazon. I saw that some people even call it a Korean Amazon, because this platform has a VOD platform called Coupang Play. If you live in South Korea, this show is available for you on Coupang, while for other people, this show is available on Amazon Prime.
So, what is this show about? We’ve got 60 makeup artists who are competing to find the best Korean makeup artist. The MC or host of this show is singer Lee Hyori. All 60 participants come from different fields - we’ve got influencers, freelance makeup artists, artists who own makeup/beauty studios or work for the most popular ones, some famous makeup artists with years of experience, and national makeup artists for certain brands like NARS, MAC, L’Oréal Korea, Chanel, or Dior. Small note, if you’re not familiar with the makeup world, lots of makeup brands have their own national makeup artists who create makeup for campaigns or teach other makeup artists. The same works for perfumes and skincare, but usually, instead of certain looks, the focus is on teaching about products and promoting them.
These 60 makeup artists are judged by four jurors. The juror whom the majority of people might know is Jung Saem Mool - she’s a popular makeup artist who created her own brand, from a makeup line to her own stores and makeup academy. Seo Ok is a makeup artist with a big experience. She has worked with many K-pop stars. Risabae is a popular makeup artist and YouTuber, she has her own makeup brand called two slash four. Lee Jin-soo is a “Makeup Pro Team Leader of the Hera Division” at Amorepacific.
I wasn’t sure if I should go with the artists and their choice or the product categories, so this post will probably be long. In the show, we don’t know the names, but some nicknames that the show gave each artist, and each artist is mentioned in the credits.

National MAC Queen Kim Hye-Rim (김혜림)
She's a former MAC National Artist. She’s a freelancer with her own beauty studio.
She’s one of the first artists in the show whom we can learn more about. One of the tricks she was showing was mixing Physiogel Daily Moisture Therapy Facial Cream with NUXE Huile Prodigieuse. Physiogel in Korea is owned by LG H&H, and you might be surprised how big the Physiogel product line is. I’ve checked, and Physiogel Daily Moisture Therapy Facial Cream in Korea has the same ingredients as the European version. My personal take on this brand is that if you have sensitive skin, this company might save you.
You can spot that she has one of the most popular BB Creams on her table: MISSHA M Perfect Cover B.B Cream EX. For many people, this cream was the first BB Cream they’ve ever known. The last product which I spotted was Clio Kill Lash Superproof Mascara Long Curling version, one of the mascaras which I tried on my own, and I highly recommend it if your lashes are straight or short.

Beauty Scholar Lim (임천수)
He’s a former MAC makeup artist.
He had some MAC blushes at his desk, but one of the products that you can easily guess because of the packaging was Too Cool for School Artclass By Rodin Shading Master Set. I know that people with cooler skin enjoy it, but I haven’t tried this product on my own.

MACtist Lee Seonguk (이성욱)
I don’t want to lie to you, because I don’t remember if he’s a MAC Global Senior Artist or an artist for the Korean department of MAC, but you can find him in MAC Korea videos on YouTube.
First of all, MACtist was definitely one of the most creative artists. When I was a teenager, MAC was one of the brands that I was dreaming of because lots of MUAs worked for them. I used to love Studio Fix because, for a long time, it was the lightest foundation I could find in my country, even if it was too dark for my skin. Nowadays, I feel like MUAs are choosing different brands, and I found MAC to be a bit boring, so I was positively surprised by the makeup look created by MACtist.
Good makeup starts with a good base, so I’m not surprised to see Avene Thermal Spring Water. He was also mixing Avene Trixera Nutrition Nutri-Fluid Lotion with MAC Strobe Cream. I have to admit, this strobe cream is my favourite product from MAC, and after this show, I want to repurchase it. What I loved about his choice of product was Touchland Unscented Hand Sanitizer next to makeup and skincare products. When you apply makeup on someone, hygiene is super important - there are ways to keep makeup safe, like using brushes or single-use products, sanitizers, etc. It all depends on the product, and I feel that the biggest difference between artists and influencers is that artists who are educated in makeup have some basic understanding of makeup safety, while influencers use products on themselves, and they don’t know how to work with a model or a client.
It shouldn’t surprise you that he’s using lots of MAC products like MAC Pro Longwear Concealer, MAC Pro Face Palette Contour, and MAC Fix Spray. I believe I saw MAC Eye Shadow Palette X 9 (Amber Times), but I’m not 100% sure. I also saw MAC Connect In Colour Eye Shadow Palette: Hi-Fi Colour, and this one I’m 100% sure.
He had some other brands too, mostly luxury ones. I’m 90% sure that I saw Chanel Joues Contraste Intense. He had Dior Addict Lip Glow and Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette Highlight & Blush. If it comes to this palette, I strongly believe the versions he had were Rose Gold Glow and Frosted Opal Glow. I have to admit, I bought Frosted Opal Glow after this program. I spotted one of my favourite highlighters, Dior Forever Glow Luminizer - especially blue strobe & opal strobe. Last, but not least, probably one of the most trending blushes - Backstage Rosy Glow Blush.

Master Park Seong-Hee (박성희)
She's a makeup artist associated with Pat McGrath.
I’m glad that Park Seong-Hee shared a lot about how she prepares her skin for makeup. She used Schwanen Garten Mist, which is a new brand for me, but I see that creators are using this brand, and it’s affordable. The next step was MAC Face & Body Foundation, Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer, and NARS Blush Palette. I believe she was using the NARS Ultimate Blush Palette.
I’ve noticed that she was using NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil. I believe she mentioned Givenchy Magic Kohl Eye Liner Pencil and Tonymoly Back Gel Eyeliner Long Brush. I tried this eyeliner myself, and I can understand why a few other artists also used it. The review of this eyeliner is on Kherblog, but my pro tip on this product is easy - grab an eyeliner brush from Sigma or another brand, because even if this eyeliner contains a brush, I find it hard to work on small eyelids.
The last product she mentioned was Peripera Thin Thin Brush Liner.

Detail Sohn Song Joo-Hee (손주희)
She’s a Jung Saem Mool Beauty makeup artist.
Detail Sohn made my whole research easier because she posted her makeup must-haves, and at least I guessed correctly that she was using Dior Diorshow 5 Couleurs Eye Palette 073 Pied-de-Poule. She uses lots of Jung Saem Mool products, but one of the most significant ones is the cushion. I believe the full name of this cushion is Essential Skin Nuder. I bought it before this show, but I haven’t opened it yet. I also saw that she’s using Colorpiece Cream Blush and Essential Star-cealer Foundation. The last product that I later spotted on her table was Charlotte Tilbury The Beautyverse Eyeshadow Palette.

Cheongdam Master Eom A-young (엄아영)
She’s a makeup artist at A KNACK TOOL Cheongdam Branch.
I didn’t spot too many products she had on her table, but I was surprised to see 3CE products like Face Blush and Face Highlighter. She had lots of NARS products, some looked like eyeshadows and blushes. I also notice one of the shading palettes, which I enjoy - dasique V Cut Blending Shading.

Kim’s Makeup Room Kim Se-Won (김세원)
She's a former MBC Makeup Room Employee. MBC is a TV station, so it’s no surprise that she went for TV anchor makeup.
The eyeliner she was using looked like lilybyred am9 to pm9 Survival Penliner Natural or Kiss me Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner N 02 Brown. It was easy to guess the blush she had on her table because of the pattern on the packaging of FMGT Pastel Cushion Blusher. She had shade 06 Rose Petal. I also noticed Maybelline New York Fit Me Matte + poreless Pressed Face Powder.
She had a few foundations on her desk, like Hera Silky Stay 24H Longwear Foundation, Armani Power Fabric+ Longwear High Coverage Foundation, and Wakemake Water Glow Coating Foundation.

Beauty Kingsman Kim Seung-won (김승원)
He’s a Dior International Makeup Artist and CEO of SKIM Beauty.
You might have seen him in a show called Get It Beauty. He’s known for his use of fingers in makeup.
It shouldn’t surprise that he has decided to stick fully to Dior. He was using Dior Diorshow 5 Couleurs Eye Palette, and my wild guess is palettes 279 Denim and 073 Pied-de-Poule. One packaging looked like Dior Forever Glow Luminizer.

Firstman Park Tae-Yoon (박태윤)
He’s a freelance makeup artist.
One of the first things I spotted was Gesgep Bare Cream, which I had on my wishlist for a while now. I also noticed two foundations on his desk, one looked like Armani Power Fabric+ Longwear High Coverage Foundation, and the other looked like Shiseido Revitalessence Skin Glow Foundation.
Shiseido Revitalessence Skin Glow Foundation: YesStyle*
HERA-cules Kim Donghyun (김동현)
He works as an MUA for HERA, a Korean brand released by Amorepacific.
I’m not surprised that he went for makeup from HERA, but also other Amorepacific brands. One of the products I’ve spotted is HERA Silky Stay 24H Longwear Foundation. I feel like Hera is mostly known for its base makeup & lipsticks, so I was surprised to find out that this brand has eyeshadows too, after I found HERA Quad Eye Color. I feel like there was Espoir The Brow Easy Shaping Pencil. I like Espoir a lot, but this brow pencil is new to me.
I also believe that I saw a few products from other brands, like Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. This was probably my first eyeshadow primer, and I like to switch between this one and the Make Up For Ever one. I also feel like I saw Chanel Joues Contraste Intense and Dior Rouge Blush Colour & Glow. In one scene, the palette reminded me of Daisique Shadow Palette Rose Milk Tea Collection. I also feel like I saw Patrick Ta Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo.

Beauty Hulk Ha Jun (하준)
He’s a makeup artist for one of the makeup shops. He said that he works at a salon called Yoning in Cheongdam.
One thing I would like to mention is that Beauty Hulk employed a technique I learned from watching makeup tutorials made by Korean MUAs, which I had never seen anyone in Europe use before - burning wooden sticks with a lighter, a method I believe is even called “eyelash fire curling” in English.
I’m not 100% sure which Fresian product he used, but I assume it was either the Freshian Egg-Like Tone Up Cushion or the Freshian Egg-Like Cream Blush. The packaging was quite iconic and easy to guess which brand was behind it.
Another iconic design is the Muzigae Mansion Tie Up Cover Tint. This brand is phenomenal when it comes to design. He had a few AOU Glowy Tint Balms, but I believe one of the shades was 02 Persimon Balm.
He had lots of palettes, but one that stands out is Make Up For Ever Artist To Go Eyeshadow Palette in shade 606 Wherever Walnut. Next palette that has packaging which I will recognize everywhere is Yves Saint Laurent Couture Mini Clutch Eyeshadow Palette, I believe it was probably Sunrise Safari or Majestic Riad.
He had some Banila Co products. I feel like Banila is mostly popular for cleansing balm series, but people don’t know that Banila has an interesting makeup line. The first product I noticed was Banila Co Silky Glow Highlighter and Banila Co b by banila Priming Veil Cheek. Last but not least, I’ve noticed packaging that looks like Tirtir Mask Fit Make Up Fixer. I have to admit, it’s a good fixer.

Thai Romantic Yoon Jong-in (윤종인)
He’s a makeup artist currently working in Thailand. He specializes in fantasy makeup, and his wife is a professional makeup artist.
There are only two products I’ve noticed - Flower Knows Swan Ballet Palette in shade 02 Black Swan and NARS Light Reflecting Setting Powder Loose Transparent Powder.
Flower Knows Swan Ballet Palette in shade 02 Black Swan: Flower Knows*
NARS Light Reflecting Setting Powder Loose Transparent Powder: YesStyle*
Seongsu Prince Liu (리우)
He owns a beauty studio in Seongsu, Seoul.
He had few products which I figured out right away, like Flower Knows Strawberry Cupid Pressed Powder in shade 02 Ivory Beige. I also believed he had my favourite highlighter, Fenty Beauty Diamond Bomb How Many Carats Highlighter.
He’s another makeup artist who uses the Dior Backstage Glow Palette. He likes to add glitter to makeup so it shouldn’t be surprise that he uses palettes like Barry M Cosmetics Glitter Cream Palette. I’m not 100% sure, but it looks like he also had Flower Knows Swan Ballet Series Liquid eyeshadow Glitter.
He had Dasique Blending Mood Cheek, Tarte Tartelette Toasted Eyeshadow, WAKEMAKE Soft Blurring Eye Palette Renewal, and I’m pretty sure he had Urban Decay Naked Palette in version Honey or Original. I also feel the NARS Powermatte High Intensity he had was in shade Cruella.
He’s another makeup artist using Tonymoly Back Gel Eyeliner Long Brush. I also noticed he had Clinique Cheek Pop and Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipstick. I also noticed L'Oreal Paris Elnett de Luxe Hairspray.

Busan Smoky Girl Sena (세나)
She’s a makeup artist working at 1.3beautylounge.
Her makeup style reminded me of warmer tones than I usually see in Asian makeup, so it shouldn’t surprise that she used many of Huda’s palettes. She used Huda Beauty's Nude Obsessions and Pretty Grunge Eyeshadow Palettes. One of the palettes on her table resembled Urban Decay's The Original Naked Eyeshadow Palette. I also noticed Jeffree Star Cosmetics Jawbreaker Eyeshadow Palette and Tarte Cosmetics Winter Wonderglam Luxe Set.
She had VERONNI Water Activated Eyeliner Palette, Matte and UV, but the most interesting was OFRA Glow Highlighter Palette. OFRA is available at Olive Young, but you are more likely to find a small highlighter there. The good thing is majority of these products are available at Sephora.
OFRA Highlighter: Olive Young*
Hidden Jewel Kim Do-Hyun (김도현)
He’s a makeup artist with quite an interesting portfolio of previous works.
This show has 60 people, and we don’t meet all of them - Hidden Jewel is one of the artists that we don’t see a lot in the show. I might not be right, but I think he was using a few Mac Cosmetics products, and I’m not 100% sure, but I believe he had Nars Blush on the table.
Nars Blush: YesStyle*
Swag Maker Baek Eunyeong (백은영)
She’s a freelance makeup artist.
Eunnyeong was one of the makeup artists whom I was keeping my fingers crossed for since the beginning, but if you want to know how she was doing, you have to watch the show. One of the first products I’ve noticed was Make Up For Ever HD Skin Sculpting Palette. Another packaging that was easy to recognize is Aestura AtoBarrier 365 Cream Mist.
The next product you have to keep in mind because this one is going to be mentioned in this post a few times. Yunjac Skin Perfecting Protective Base Prep is a makeup base that’s super popular lately. She also had Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush (shade looked like Cool Berry) and Espoir Real Eye Palette No.4 Mauve Me.

Beauty Queen Bee Woo Hyun Jeung (우현증)
I believe she’s the CEO of a beauty shop called Merci.
I have to admit, it took me a while to see which palette she was using, but it turned out she went for Holika Holika My Fave Multi Palette Case. It has 8 slots for eyeshadows, which you can choose according to your needs. She also had a Nars box that looks like Nars Blush.
I’ve noticed she has Maybelline Colossal Volume mascara. I need you to stop on this topic for a while, because it’s official that Maybelline is ending its operation in South Korea, but I’ve heard that mascaras for the Asian market are more suitable for straight eyelashes than ones available in Europe or America - if you tried both, let me know, because I used Sky High mascara since girls in Europe love this mascara, and when I found Clio mascara in my stash it was the happiest day for my eyelashes.
Because of her, I got obsessed with Valentino Beauty Dreamdust Eye Glitter. She was using the shade Silver Park.

Glitter Magician Jeong Eun-Woo (정은우)
She’s a makeup artist who worked previously with Chung Ha. She works at Artisichacha.
I saw she’s using some Morphe palette, but I don’t know which one. However, she was using one of the contouring palettes that I had tried before - Peripera Ink V Shading. She worked with glitter, which was applied with PICCASSO COLLEZIONI Round Tip Tweezers.

Beauty Heiress Jeong Min (정민)
She’s a makeup artist from Soonsoo Cheongdam main branch.
She had lots of amazing products. The first jar I noticed was Tocobo Vita Glazed Lip Mask. Something we don’t talk about is how your base makeup is significant for the final outcome. This also matters when we talk about lip makeup. Usually, we put lip balm or mask first, then apply a bit of foundation, and then we can continue with lip makeup - or at least that's what I was taught.
She had AOU Glowy Tint Balm in shade 04 Cherry Balm. I'm not sure if she has 02 Persimmon Balm, because the packaging of the other lip pot looks a bit like Holika Holika Melting Blur Lip Pot. She had two Freshian Egg-like Cream Blush. It's hard to see in a video, but I believe one shade might be 01 Fuzzy or 02 Sunshine, and another way is way darker, like 06 Cheeky.
If it comes to palettes, some look like 3CE New Take Eyeshadow Palette - this series is popular, and you can spot a few artists using these palettes. I finally spotted someone using one of my favourite Kbeauty makeup brands hince, she had the All-Round Eye Palette on her desk. I believe it was version 02 Late Autumn. She also had dasique V Cut Blending Shading. Back to eye makeup, Clio Pro Eye Palette Air Unplugged Boy Edition 13 Dancing Smoky was standing out on her desk because of its unique design. Last, but not least, lilybyred Mood Keyboard 8 Colors can also be spotted.
If it comes to Hince palette, my other guess was MERYTHOD Blurring Multi Palette - 03. Another product she had on her desk was Dior Rouge Blush.

Plus Size Big Sis Kim Daeyoung (김대영)
She's a makeup artist for A'dore Cheongdam.
First scenes and I spot palettes that look like the dasique Shadow Palettes, I believe one of these palettes was Sugar Brownie, but then from another perspective it’s more likely that she’s using the 3CE Multi Eye Color Palette. I told you that you would spot the 3CE New Take Eyeshadow Palette a lot in this show, so she’s another MUA using these palettes.
She had a few MAC single eyeshadows. One of the products that was easy to guess is NAMING Fluffy Powder Blush.
She had two Huda Beauty palettes - Huda Beauty Rose Quartz Palette and another one that looks like Huda Beauty Naughty Nude Eyeshadow Palette. I also spot Chanel Les 4 Ombres Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow (I believe it’s version 268) and Nars Duo Eyeshadow.
I saw two foundations on her desk - Javin De Seoul Wink Foundation and Giverny Dewy Glassy Foundation. She had the Mezclar Skin Care BB Cream Original, but I couldn’t find this BB cream anywhere. Funny enough, I found it at local beauty stores. If it comes to lip products, I’m not 100% sure, but she seems to use Romand lip tints, probably Rom&nd Dewyful Water Tint and Muzigae Mansion Objet Liquid Tint.

Beauty Trendsetter Kim Yu-Mi (김유미)
She’s a freelance makeup artist.
I spotted many interesting products Beauty Trendsetter was using, but she also shared a few products on her Instagram. One of the products I recognized right away was Espoir Pro Tailor Be Velvet Foundation, the reason is simple - Espoir foundations and cushions are my favourite. On her Instagram, she shared that she used Espoir Be Glow Foundation for one of the makeup looks she did in the show. I also think she had Espoir Be Glow Stick Radiance and/or Espoir Be Glow Shading Stick Contour. I have to admit, I’m surprised these sticks are so popular. I might give them a try. I feel like it’s not the end of the Espoir collection, because one palette looks like Eye Core Palette #01 Posh Coral.
Let’s continue the eye makeup topic. She has Dasique Shadow Palette, 07 Milk Latte, or Dasique Vegan Shadow Palette #15 Beige Knit. Another palette reminded me of Too Cool For School Artclass Frottage Palette in shade Milk S’more. She’s also another artist to use Huda Beauty, especially the Huda Beauty Rose Quartz Eyeshadow Palette. She also had Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina Pro Pigment Palette Vol. 6.
One of the products that I recognized easily was AOU Soft Cream Blush, similar heart design that you can also spot is Lilybyred Luv Beam Cheek Balm. I think she had a few OFRA Cosmetic Highlighters, but she separated them from their original packaging and put them together with other products. I assume it’s OFRA because this brand has the original design of the texture. I saw fwee Glitz Stone Highlighter and I thought she’s using shade HL07 Ruby Reborn or HL10 Opal Blooming, but Beauty Trendsetter provided information on her IG and my first thought was right, it was HL07 Ruby Reborn. She also mentioned that she was using Make Up For Ever Star Lit Diamond Powder in a shade 05 Iridescent Gel.
Another MUFE product she was using is the HD Skin Sculpting Palette. She had LUNA Pro Photo Finisher in shade 01. Luna is a good makeup brand from Korea, but I don’t see it getting popular worldwide, which is kinda sad. I’m not 100% sure, but one product looked like HOLIKA HOLIKA Heart Crush Glow Lip Tint Air. If it comes to lip products, she mentioned on her IG that she was using Heart Percent Dote On Mood Lip Pencil 08 Cloudy Mauve and fwee 3D Voluming Gloss in shade Currant. She also had one of my favourite brushes - Sephora Classic Concealer Brush 02.

The First Empress Myeongseong Sunduk (선덕)
She’s a makeup artist with 34 years of experience.
A good makeup starts with a base, so it’s not a surprise that she had Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask EX Berry on her desk, I previously made reviews of few of Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask versions. She also had Givenchy Prisme Libre Skin-Caring Concealer. I like this concealer, but I use the blue version for colour correction. She had some MAC and NARS products. I noticed she had Mac Studio Fix, Make Up For Ever Artist Face Powders, and Nars Quad Eyeshadow Palette - I believe the shade is Taj Mahal.
She also used my favourite mascara - Clio Kill Lash Superproof Mascara Long Curling. I’m not 100% sure, but I believe I saw the Jungsaemmool Artist Eye Palette in version Orange Brown.

Wedding-dol Oh Seung-hwan (오승환)
He’s a makeup artist who specializes in wedding makeup.
He used TAG by Too Cool For School Dual Multi Shading. TAG is a makeup series released by Too Cool For School that’s more affordable, and if you ever visit South Korea, you will find this brand at Daiso.
TAG by Too Cool For School Dual Multi Shading: YesStyle*
Born in Bridal Kim Hyung-Soon (김형순)
She’s a makeup artist who specializes in wedding makeup. She works at COCOREA Myeongdong.
I told you that Yunjac is going to be popular in this show - she’s another makeup artist using Yunjac primer. She had Dior Addict Lip Glow on her desk. She was using Duo Dark Eye Lash Adhesive to stick elements to the face. Duo is a popular brand, I don’t know a better glue for fake eyelashes.
Dior Addict Lip Glow: YesStyle*
Veteran Jenny Im Mi-hyun (임미현)
She’s a makeup artist from Jenny House.
The first product you can see her using is MAC Glowplay Lightful C3 Tone-up Primer. She’s another artist to use Piccasso tweezers and eyelash fire curling technique. The next product in the show is Urban Decay 24/7 Moondust, and I strongly believe she’s using the most sold shade from this series, named Space Cowboy. Next was Missha Glam Silky Body Balm.
She’s also another MUA to use the 3CE New Take Eyeshadow Palette. In a show, I could spot the back of the packaging of one product with the full name. It was Hoodskin Good Score Cica-5ive Milkey Moisture Serum. If you look at her desk, you can see many interesting products like the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette and Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush. She had a few Holika Holika My Fave Piece Eye Shadows.
I strongly believe she has the Dear Dahlia Blooming Edition Paradise Dual Palette, because in a video where we could see her workspace, she had some Dear Dahlia products. I’m sure she uses MAC Blush and some Freshian products, but I’m not sure if it was a cushion, blush, or something else. I believe it was probably blush. She also had Too Cool For School Artclass Frottage Pencil - I believe it was shade 08 Scented Bouquet.
Last, but not least, I spotted WAKEMAKE Soft Sheer Multi Palette, I believe it was version 08 Steel Pink. One palette looked like the BBIA Ready To Wear Eye Palette, but I’m not sure about this one.

Short Form Queen Si-ne (시네)
She’s a content creator popular for her huge makeup puffs. She’s an amateur makeup artist.
The first product I’ve noticed was VT PDRN Glow Ampoule. I also spot IPKN and Flower Knows products. I couldn’t guess what the IPKN product is, but if it comes to Flower Knows, it was Midsummer Fairytales Liquid Highlighter. She had quite a few Flower Knows products like Swan Ballet Loose Powder - #03 Edelweiss, Flower Knows Little Angel Embossed Face Highlighter - 01 Eros’s Fable, and Flower Knows Chocolate Wonder-Shop Highlighter & Contour.
Even if Si-ne is an amateur, she took care of base makeup. You can spot that she has Make P:rem Inteca Soothing Cream, goodal Heartleaf Hyaluron Soothing Clear Pad, and Yunjac Skin Perfecting Protective Base Prep. She’s using MAC Studio Fix foundation. There are a few interesting palettes like Dior Backstage Glow Palette, Espoir Real Eye Palette All New (I think one of the two palettes is from the cherry edition), and Hince New Depth Eyeshadow Palette.
If you search for a concealer, the ones I found are Judydoll 2 IN 1 Highlighter Contour Palette in shade 01 Waves, and a bit more expensive and professional option - Make Up For Ever HD Skin All-in-One Palette. She has the Colorgram Tintin Dory Eye Palette, and I believe she was using the Glitter Dory version.
It’s hard to guess which lip products all contestants are using, but with her, it was a bit easier. She was using INGA Water Glow Lip Tint and Alternative stereo Lip Potion Sugar Glaze Tint - I believe the shades are Tea Milk Balm and Lilac Balm. She also used Peripera Ink Airy Velvet in a hot pink shade.
One of the interesting products is DODOLABEL Idol White Tan Spray. I couldn’t find it at any store, but you can get a similar effect with 9wishes White Tone Up Body Serum.

Queenfluencer Gvan/Jivan (지반)
Gvan/Jivan is a drag queen, her makeup was so shiny but so stunning!
I’ve noticed only two products - Physiogel Red Soothing Cream AI and CLIO Kill Cover Founwear Foundation The Original . Physiogel in Korea offers a range of interesting products that are not available in other countries. If it comes to Clio Foundation, I’m not 100% sure, but the packaging looks the same! Another product I’m not 100% sure of is Huda Beauty Neon Pink Obsessions.

Godmother of Ppoyong Kwak Tori (곽토리)
She’s a beauty creator.
This one was tricky because we can see her desk for maybe 2 seconds? I’m joking that I can recognize Yunjac Skin Perfecting Protective Base Prep even in such a short period of time. She had a bottle that looked like Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation and my favourite setting spray - Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray.

Old School BeauTuber Ssin (씬님)
She’s the first-gen makeup YouTuber.
She had many products, but let’s start with some that we can see first. Right away, you can spot Jungsaemmool Artist Eye Palettes. She had versions Yellow Brown, Red Brown, Glam Nude, or Soft Nude. There’s Rom&nd Better Than Palette, I think it’s in shade 12 Sanded Breeze Garden, but I might be wrong about the shade. There’s the Cle de Peau Eye Color Quad palette.
She had a big bottle of Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray with Hypochlorous Acid, and in one scene, she had Make Up For Ever Setting Spray.
She had Jungsaemmool Artist Face Palette Contour and Jungsaemmool Artist Face Palette Highlighter. In the background, you can see EQUMAL Over Classic Eye Palette and 3CE Multi Eye Color Palette. I believe she might have the A Shy Ash version. She got two versions of Holika Holika Tone Tuning Shading. There’s also Huda Beauty The New Nude Eye Shadow Palette.
She had Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette and some MUFE products - I believe she has HD Skin Sculpting Palette, Ultra HD Concealer, and HD Skin Pressed Powder. I believe she had some MAC highlighter. She had an old version of Too Cool for School Artclass by Rodin Shading. I also saw the 3CE Pro Multi Blush Color Palette, which I believe is discontinued. I feel like, in general, she likes this brand since I could see the 3CE Mood Recipe Face Blush.
NAMING. was a bit of a surprise for me. She had a product that looked like a Layered Matte Fit Cushion. The other cushion on her desk was the Muzigae Mansion Sleek Water Cushion. At first, I couldn’t recognize which version of palette it was, but once she started to use it, I knew right away that the Pat McGrath she owns is MOTHERSHIP V. I can also see Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation, and next to the concealers, one product looks exactly like espoir Be Glow Stick Foundation.
She had some skincare on her desk. One of my favourite products for winter is ongredients Skin Barrier Calming Lotion - I wanted to share a review, but accidentally I removed all the photos, so this one will come later this year (probably, all depends on the post because it’s just the beginning of November and I’m waiting for some packages for over a month). If you have problems with sensitive skin and redness, you might enjoy it.
ByUR Makeup Base Tone Up Serum Fit Balancing Tone Up is a totally new product and brand for me. Another new product was NEVA&NOONIK Off-Filter Control Lip & Eye Remover. In one scene, you can see Yunjac Skin Perfecting Protective Base Prep.

Goddess of Ads Im Ji-yu (임지유)
She's a director of Wonju's Damo Makeup
The next makeup artist didn’t bring many products, but the camera was showing for a second her entire setup. D’alba White Truffle First Spray Serum is probably one of the most selling Kbeauty mists. She also had Auras Fresh Sprinkle Serum Mists - one version contained Vitamin C, while the other contained Bakuchiol. She had lots of Make Up For Ever products like HD Skin Pressed Powder (probably shade 0.2 and 1.1), HD Skin Sculpting Palette, HD Skin Foundation, and Step 1 Pore Minimizer.
I see she liked Rom&nd products like lip tints, Better Than Cheek, Better Than Palette (I believe she had shade 06 Peony Nude Garden), and Better Than Contour. She had a few MAC eyeshadow palettes, but the palette that was easy to recognize was the Dasique Shadow Palette (it’s probably 07 Milk Latte). She was using 3CE Mood Recipe Face Blushes and espoir Tone Pairing Highlighter in shade 01 Seashell. I also saw Chanel Les Beiges Eyeshadow Palette, and I think the version she had was Medium.

Oh Dolce Vita Oh Hyun-jung (오현정)
She’s a NARS Korea Senior Artist
The fact that she sticks to NARS and that she shared what she was using on her Instagram made my job easier. I like NARS, they had one of my favourite red lipsticks, which sadly is discontinued. According to her post, she was using Light Reflecting Setting Powder Loose Transparent Powder, Radiance Primer, Light Reflecting Foundation, and Laguna Bronzing Powder in shade #2 Original.
She used NARS Blush in two different shades - Gina and Madly. She used NARS High-Pigment Longwear Eyeliner, and on top she applied Climax Liquid Liner. It’s a normal technique that you apply liquid on eye pencil or even eyeshadow on the top of the liquid liner to prevent liquid eyeliner from transferring on the top of the eyelid. The palette she went for was NARS Quad Eyeshadow in shade Koh Rong.
For lip makeup, she decided to go with NARS Precision Lip Liner in shade Mariachi and two different shades of Powermatte High Intensity - Cruella & Dragon Girl. She also applied Powermatte Lip Pigment, but sadly, we don’t know which shade.
For the final touch, she applied Afterglow Lip Shine Gloss in shade Tripple X. I’ve noticed that she had on her desk Skin Light Reflecting Firm Serum, NARS Aqua-Infused Makeup Remover Cleansing Water, and NARS Aqua-Infused Makeup Remover Cleansing Water. I also believe that she was using Climax Mascara.

Paris Golden Hands Kim Min (김민)
She’s a freelance makeup artist, and she works in Paris.
She didn’t write on her Instagram what she was using, but she added a photo that made it easier. The first product I’ve noticed was Schwarzkopf Got2b Glue 4 Brows & Edges, which is a popular eyebrow gel in Europe. You can also use it to flatten your hair if you have lots of baby hair. Next to got2b, I’ve noticed Kiss Me Heroine Make Mascara EX, Piccasso tweezers, and DUO Quick Set Striplash Adhesive Dark Dube.
She had a palette which I thought was Chanel Les 4 Ombres Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow, but after she posted a photo, I’m sure it’s Chanel Enchanted Night Eyeshadow & Blush Palette. She had Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette Highlight & Blush and Dior Rouge Blush. She had Natasha Denona Triochrome Eyeshadow Palette. I believe she had Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush. One product reminded me of Make Up For Ever HD Skin Pressed Powder. I also spotted Dior Diorshow 5 Couleurs Couture Eyeshadow Palette in shade 859, but I’m not 100% sure about the shade.

37-year Genie Kim Sun-jin (김선진)
She’s a makeup artist who did some of the makeup that you can see in K-dramas.
On her desk, you can spot Carmex Classic Lip Balm, Yunjac Skin Perfecting Protective Base Prep. I think she might have Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush. I’m 100% sure she has Gucci Luminous Matte Beauty Blush.
Soonsoo witch Choi Soo Kyung (최수경)
She’s the CEO of Soonsoo Makeup Store.
The first product I saw she had in her bag was Benefit Chacha Tint & Bene Tint. She had packaging that looked like Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush or Powder. You can spot Tocobo Vita Glazed Lip Mask and a few Yves Saint Laurent Couture Mini Clutch Eyeshadow Palettes. She had a substantial collection of NARS products - I believe she had several eyeshadow palettes. The same goes for Dior - I saw Dior Backstage Glow Palette and Dior Backstage Eyeshadow Palette.
A few boxes looked like Bobbi Brown Luxe Rich Sparkle Eye Shadow. I also noted that some products on her desk looked like Dior Diorshow 5 Couleurs Couture Eyeshadow Palette and Chanel Les 4 Ombres Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow.

Never Dead Queen Kim Do Hyun (김도현)
She’s a creative director specializing in SFX.
She was my favourite from the entire show, because she’s one of the makeup artists I’ve been following for a while. She had a jar of Vaseline Lip Therapy and a tube of Holika Holika Aloe 99% Soothing Gel. She was using Ben Nye Dark Blood Aged.

Just from three episodes, we got quite a lot of products. Personally, I’m planning to get the Yunjac primer, but there are a few other products I want to try.
Let me know if you watch Just Makeup, and do you have your favourite MUA in this show.
