Makeup for the Curious – Knowledge Compiled Since My Teens Concerning Healthy Cosmetics

Choi Jihyun —translator of the book Don’t Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, which sent shockwaves through the world-wide cosmetic industry and served as the main impetus for introducing complete cosmetic labeling in Korea—is back with her own collection of cosmetic stories for young adults. Since introducing the book Don’t Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me to Korea, Jihyun Choi, an earnest surveyor of the cosmetics industry, has been working as a “cosmetics critic” for the last 10 years and is at the forefront of spreading information about proper cosmetics. Makeup for the Curious is Choi’s first stand-alone work and teaches young adults who are just becoming interested in makeup about the roles and uses of makeup through scientifically supported facts. While fully encouraging teens’ desire to explore themselves, Choi offers advice on how to cleverly utilize makeup against the tide of high prices, exaggerated and distorted information circulating the internet, and misleadingly glamorous marketing.
