Hello everyone!

Today, I’d like to introduce 8 Korean cosmetics shops in Shin Okubo area, Tokyo. Speaking of South Korea, it is the country that has a massive beauty industry. When you watch Korean idols, actresses and models, you may wonder why they have so beautiful and flawless skin. I guess one of the reasons is the quality of Korean beauty products. To reach one step closer to the dreamy “Korean Beauty (K-Beauty)”, I think it’s worth trying out Korean cosmetics products. I recently visited Shin Okubo, the biggest Korean Town in Tokyo, and did some research about Korean beauty products. So I’d like to share some of Korean cosmetics shops in the neighbourhood to buy trendy K-beauty products.

1. It’s SKIN（イッツスキン）

The It’s SKIN store is located about 8 mins on foot from Shin Okubo Station. It’s the brand’s main store in Japan as well as the first opened branch. It’s SKIN is a popular Korean cosmetics brand that offers skin care products produced by dermatologists.

I’d like to recommend the Power 10 Formula Series which products can be selected to match skin type and problems. It’s cute and affordable, and the colourful bottles are displayed at the shop eye-catchingly. I have tried a sleeping pack from this series.

2. Myeongdong Cosme（ミョンドンコスメ）

Myeongdong Cosme is located 4 mins walk from Shin Okubo Station. The store offers products from a variety of Korean beauty brands, and you are likely to find products you look for. Also the inside display was pretty tidy and easy to see around.

The foundation by MISSHA is one of the most popular cosmetics products in Japan in the past years, and various kinds of foundations can be found at Myondon Cosme. It’s great that most of cosmetics products have testers so you can try the products before purchasing.
