3. Popular Makeup Product Names
If you’re in a rush to return to your hotel room after a long day of sightseeing or work and wish to just quickly complete the makeup shopping list for you and your friends, it’d be good to learn the name of the popular makeup products in Korean so that you could get the help of the sales assistant instead of searching high and low for them in the store. You will realise that most of the words actually sound very similar to English as they are forms of Konglish, a style of English used by Korean speakers.
