So, let’s dive into the fascinating world of Korean men and makeup. You know, it’s one of those burning questions that Google gets bombarded with – do all Korean men really wear makeup? Well, before we jump into the why, let’s address the big question itself.
You’ve probably seen those dashing male actors, K-pop idols, and celebrities rocking some flawless makeup on Korean TV. But here’s the real deal – it’s not just a Korean thing. Makeup knows no boundaries – job, age, gender, nationality – you name it. Many people, whether they’re on screen or not, embrace the art of makeup. It’s all about personal preference, from going all glam to keeping it as natural as that morning dew on a leaf.
Now, the juicy part. Do regular Korean guys, like your neighbor or your gym buddy, also embrace the magic of makeup? I did a little investigation – asked 10 of my mates if they’re into BB cream or Cousin Compact kind of life. The result? Surprise, surprise! Nine out of ten said, “Nah, not my thing.” I mean, they barely even talk about cosmetics, let alone use them.
But hold up, there’s that one friend, the undercover makeup guru, who casually drops, “Oh, I use BB Cream daily.” Sneaky, right? I couldn’t even tell! But hey, this is just my little detective work, and I do spot some Korean men rocking noticeable makeup on the streets.
So, let’s check the stats. According to the “Male Grooming Trend Report 2021,” about 3.9% of Korean males in their 20s to 40s put on makeup every single day. Another 16.7% reserve it for special occasions. That’s like one out of five guys rocking the makeup brush at times. The rest, a whopping 79.5%, keep it au naturel – no makeup zone. So, if you thought all Korean guys were makeup wizards, think again.
Now, let’s peek into the minds of these makeup enthusiasts. Some say it’s a form of self-care, others swear by its magical ability to hide imperfections. On the flip side, the non-makeup crew in their 30s to 40s often throw in the classic, “It’s not masculine” or “Men with makeup? Nah.” So, there’s a bit of a generation clash happening when it comes to views on men and makeup.
I used to be on that side too – thinking makeup for guys was a big no-no. I didn’t even know how to put on makeup, so it wasn’t even on my radar. But guess what? Now, I’m in the makeup game. It all started when I had to shoot video lessons, and my colleagues suggested makeup to combat the washed-out look on camera. At first, I was skeptical – makeup, me? But after a bit of convincing, I thought, “Why not?”
Long story short, they took me to a cosmetic store, picked out some stuff, and gave me a crash course on how to use them. Now, I slap on makeup when the camera’s rolling. It’s become as routine as doing my hair. I might not continue the makeup routine off-camera – not because of what others think, but because taking off makeup is a whole personal ordeal.
So, here’s the gist – only about 4% of Korean men go for the daily makeup look, and around 17% reserve it for special occasions. Personally, I think it’s not crazy high, but hey, perspectives differ. What’s your take on it? Let me know in the comments! And remember, makeup or not, we’re all rocking our own kind of fabulous.
