“Inside a glossy, perfectly round tomato sits the smooth, creamy surface of a complexion-brightening face mask. A sullen panda bear holds the contents of a cooling-on-contact eye gel. A miffed bunny rabbit contains a pitch-perfect apricot lip tint. Welcome to the Korean beauty shopping experience. “They’re actually really good products,” says Charlotte Cho, cofounder of Soko Glam, one of three K-beauty import websites profiled in the September issue of Vogue that are curating the best of what the country has to offer. Dressed in crisp summer whites with a slim gold chain around her neck, the 30-year-old entrepreneur is combing the aisles of Manhattan’s Tony Moly—which, at first glance has more in common with Toys “R” Us than Sephora. “I have this,” she says, picking up a bright pink Velcro bow designed to hold hair out of your face while you wash off your makeup. Everything in the store, from the mustache-shaped wrinkle-reducing patches to the scrub resembling Pop Art–worthy lips is knee-weakeningly adorable. And if the history of Korean beauty trends has proven anything, your vanity table is about to get a lot cuter, too.”
