I’d nominate the cushion foundation as the most quintessential gateway product to Korean makeup: it’s convenient for touch-ups, and the range of finishes is distinctive, from fresh, dewy glow to soft matte. But if we’re talking about the product most likely to make someone think for the first time, “I didn’t know Korean makeup could be this fun,” lip tints are strong contenders too—the variety of colors and textures is huge, and they’re easy to get started with. Sheet masks are more like souvenirs that bring Korean makeup home with you, with all the ritual and ambiance.
