From skincare to make-up, Korean beauty brands have been on the rise in the GCC. The K-beauty industry has been constantly ahead of the curve in terms of beauty trends and breakthroughs – their formulas and ingredients are arguably far more advance (and, lets face it, much cuter.) Face masks with unexpected and exotic ingredients, make-up with blurring properties and sheet masks with adorable designs are what South Korean beauty brands are all about. 

I mean, if you’ve watched a K-drama or seen any of the most well-known K-pop stars, their skin can vouch for K-beauty. Flawless.
