I live in Asia and practically half of the makeup sold here is Korean- for good reason too. Practically all makeup comes with high spf and usually has great ingredients for every skin type. I highly recommend their BB creams, after all Korea is the origin of the BB. They also have brilliant lip tints as Korean makeup is typically very natural. I recommend brands such as Étude house, holika holika, tony moly, too cool for school and basically any Korean brand. The only draw I would say is that Koreans love dewy skin which can be perceived as oily in the west. This 'oil' from the makeup is usually from all kind of good ingredients in the makeup for moisturizing the skin so if you have dry skin Korean BB is brilliant, if you have oily there are always other types but just less. The other problem is that Korean BBs usually don't have that varied shades, as pale skin is considered desired so you have to test out the shades carefully. Over all I highly recommend any Korean makeup you can get your hands on, Korean skincare is also brilliant if you're looking into it, any moisturizers are brilliant but be careful as they are called toners in Korea which are different from western toners used to clean your face.

I think Nicole R here on BL has a strong interest in Korean beauty products. You might ask her what she's liked.
