Allure Korea 2014 Best in Beauty (PART 1)

Allure Korea 2014 Best in Beauty Part 1: Make Up

i'm so slow on this..! the korean allure magazine has came up with their best beauty products for the year of 2014 since september! it's interesting to look at rankings from around the world just to have a feel of what people like, and what products are worth taking a second look at (in the event of being drowned by the thousands of competing products).

allure best of beauty aims to identify the most effective product available. it seems like allure does more than just blind tests to arrive at the winners. the editors also test out the products, review research and to consult with experts in the industry.

all the images belong to the official allure korea website, i translated the product names into english. i wish i can translate the short reviews that came along with the list.. i guess you have to trust google translator to help you out if you're interested in the comments.
