Reacting to James Charles trying "Korean Makeup"

[@angelic_xinyu]

I didn’t realize that chinese makeup and kbeauty were so hard to differentiate. I always thought they were so different

[@Bigb00bs_umchileanywaysso]

No fr

[@KawaiiKermit]

They take inspiration from each other but the main difference is Korean makeup focuses of natural looks and eyes, chinese makeup is more making yourself more like a doll, like a perfect human face and more out there eye looks compared to the more toned down eyes in Korean makeup

[@Bigb00bs_umchileanywaysso]

@@KawaiiKermit the op is saying he knows the difference

[@umm3766]

it's pretty easy korean makeup is too natural and became boring and chinese makeup is extreme in sparkling and contour and looking entirely different at the end

[@atsuki18]

@@umm3766 the thing is korean makeup is all about enhancing the already present features of their faces may it be natural or a product of surgeries while douyin is all about looking like a doll and faking the surgery through the power of makeup

[@elina3734]

It’s so annoying that people think chinese makeup and beauty trends are korean, I get it when people unfamiliar with asian culture make this mistake, but many kpop stans do that too. I loved your reaction Eddy as always, very chill and drama free.

[@lovelickyx]

Girl I'm saying!!! weird asl

[@visitinghours420]

Yeah no fr. I love kpop, but I do douyin makeup, and believe me, I know the difference lol

[@pinkeygurl]

I feel like the kpop fans that don't know the difference are that way because they're shallow fans. It's more about the aesthetic of being a stan for them than it is about the music.

[@Ipromiseyounobodyismad]

Its not that deep. Idk whats so annoying for u

[@debduttapathak8588]

​@@Ipromiseyounobodyismad I guess it's because both are different so normally kpop stand don't mix it up as they are too much into kpop whether it's makeup or dresses or the vibe asthetics etc so it can annoyed people

[@flarfquiet]

people keep getting mixed up chinese makeup and korean makeup 😭 chinese makeup always looks glam but soft at the same time, while korean makeup is more on natural look. I was scrolling on weibo and douyin before and most people are upset because of the same reason 😬 i wish people would know the difference between the two

[@STAY.de1usional]

as a korean, this guy is just so relatable. he knows everything! the whole "koreans most likely do cleanser toner maybe serum and moisturizer mainly at night" why...how- he knows EVERYTHING.

[@natyki]

I'm also surprised that people who are into K-beauty don't talk about JSM either. I remember following her over a decade ago. Maybe in like 2010 or 2011? I always enjoyed how she did her videos because it was different from just a beauty video. It felt like you were taking a makeup class rather than someone just doing a look if that makes sense. Love her and her products. She knows what's up!

[@whyparkjiminnotridejimin]

James looks so much better in this than his usual make up.

[@NightOwl030]

I also like to mention the reason for the lack of diverse skin tones for foundation is because of Asian beauty standards. The beauty for having fair to pale skin is very much popular. Especially in South Korea.

Thank you so so much for acknowledging us very pale girlies here in the west. It is so hard to find shades light enough in the brands i like a lot of the times and i feel like its not talked about as much. Obviously we have it better than those with very dark skin tones, but i feel like each of the extremes is rarely acknowledged in western beauty shade ranges.😅

[@nika0365]

And even then, if they're light, it's always very yellowy

Chinese or douyin makeup is almost fairy-like in appearance, glam but soft and fairy-like. K-beauty is mostly really just clean aesthetics. Also in Chinese makeup they like to use A LOT OF FREAKING GLITTER! Some Chinese makeup like to use thos red, dark-rose palette.
