Get K-Beauty Skills in 2 Hours: Real Korean Makeup Lesson in Seoul
If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to achieve that K-drama glow or the trending NewJeans look, a Korean makeup lesson in Seoul is the shortcut. In under two hours, you’ll sit down with a pro artist in a real studio—no tourist fluff—learn to recreate iconic K-beauty styles, and walk out ready for an Instagram shoot or a night in Gangnam. The best part? Everything’s in English (with a live interpreter), so you can focus on technique, not translation. ClassKim books the session, provides a real person as your English guide, and helps fit it around your Seoul itinerary—even same-day if you’re lucky.
What Is a Korean Makeup Lesson in Seoul?
A Korean makeup lesson is a hands-on, private (or small group) session where a professional makeup artist teaches you how to apply makeup the K-beauty way. Unlike YouTube tutorials, you get personalized feedback, product recommendations for your skin type, and real-time answers to all your questions. The artist demonstrates each step—prepping your skin, base, eyes, lips, and finishing touches—using Korean cosmetics and techniques seen on idols and celebs. Most lessons are held in Myeongdong, Hongdae, or Gangnam studios (easy subway access), and you don’t need a word of Korean—ClassKim’s interpreter will translate everything.
