Which Korean Beauty Brand Screams You?

Even though your friends have moved on to more “grown-up” cutesy characters like Gudetama, you still squeal over Pororo the penguin. You love anything princess-y, cute and pink, like strawberry bingsu and the various technicolour fruit drinks at Dal.Komm. You enjoy binge-watching high school dramas, and tend to be relatively carefree and simple, opting for a sunny outlook no matter what life throws at you. Naturally, you favour this cutesiest of K-beauty brands, whose sweet, cartoony and happy-bright packaging (Have you seen their latest Wonder Fun Park collection?) makes you feel like a teenager (or maybe even tween-ager?) all over again.

Not only do you believe that true love awaits, but you hope that it will occur over a candlelit dinner with a bouquet of roses on the table, or perhaps under an umbrella on a stormy night. You fill your life with beautiful extras, such as scented candles and fresh flowers, as these small joys give your life a bit of romantic sparkle. While your friends advise you to give up on K-drama-worthy romances and get on Tinder, you refuse, knowing that smartphone apps have no place in a classic fairytale ending. You would love Mamonde, the new-in-Singapore K-brand that's all about feminine, floral-inspired beauty.

You think Seoul is totally overrated, and would rather rather frolick among greenery and volcanoes at Jeju Island. You die a little inside whenever you see people not recycling, and can be found lounging on the grass, sipping a green tea latte (with almond milk, of course), while Googling new recipes for kale smoothies. Yup, you are definitely an Innisfree girl. The brand’s natural ingredients and eco-friendly packaging totally speaks to the plastic bag-eschewing tree hugger in you.

The Saem’s packaging may look basic, but it's what's inside that counts. You know that all too well. You’re low-maintenance, risk-averse, and prefer the classics (after all, why try new things when old things work totally fine?). If any drama to were to occur in your workplace or your group of friends, you'd be the first to tackle the source of the problem. When push comes to shove, you can totally kick ass — the same way this brand’s beloved O2 Bubble Mask can revive the dullest of complexions.

You’re a little strange but just that bit cute, and people can’t help feeling charmed by your offbeat personality. Naturally, they express this through some good-natured ribbing at your aegyo photo poses and your undying love for quirky things, like skincare shaped like fruits and vegetables. You'd probably love TonyMoly’s adorably weird packaging, like the Banana Sleeping Pack and Tomato Magic White Massage Pack.

You’re the type of person who would forgo parties to spend Friday nights at home, indulging in face masks and cooking shows. You’re a total foodie who not only enjoys experimenting with new ingredients, but would gladly splash those ingredients all over her face. One day, you’ll find the courage to invite your friends over for kimbap and pajeon, followed by a post-dinner masking session, but in the meantime, indulge in Skinfood's delicious food-inspired skincare.

You love K-pop, but unlike the other crazed fangirls, you’d rather keep your K-idol stanning on the down-low. Moonshot is perfect for you. It's backed by YG Entertainment, who manages all the K-stars you love, but it's KLASSY with a capital K. You'd appreciate the fact that it references K-popsters like Big Bang and Blackpink without going overboard, and the brand's sleek, punchy aesthetics. Also, did we tell you we love the Lip Feat lipsticks?

Thanks to its French-sounding name, glossy packaging, and nine-step skincare, Laneige can look a little intimating. But the brand’s products are not only easy to use, they cater to a variety of skin types and ages. With a whopping 35 colours in their Silk Intense Lipstick line and 10 shades available in each of their three BB cushion lines, there’s something for everybody. Likewise, while you can give off an overly-polished first impression, people will realise that you're actually a chilled-out crowd pleaser, and after that, they won't be able to help hanging around.
