As a professional woman with a hectic schedule in Seoul, I often find myself skipping makeup beyond basic sunscreen before heading out for work. However, as a cosmetic physician meeting Korean beauty clients, maintaining a polished appearance is essential.
Eye Aesthetics
While I prioritize skincare in my daily routine, wearing masks during client interactions means I can focus mainly on my eyes to maintain a presentable look. That’s why I opt for eyelash perming treatments every 2-3 months.
Natural Beauty Boost
Even without makeup, people have mistaken my enhanced eyelashes for having makeup done. The effect of lifting my eyelashes gives my eyes a wider, more open appearance, which enhances my overall look. Yesterday was my maintenance session, and I’m pleased with the new salon I visited in Garosu-gil, Sinsa-dong!

Eyelash Care Without Mascara
Additionally, by not using an eyelash curler, I’ve noticed less eyelash fallout. I avoid mascara as chemical products can dry out lashes and aren’t beneficial for eye health. Plus, avoiding makeup residue or rubbing cleansing oils near my eyes is crucial for maintaining eye and eyelid skin health.
Despite feeling tired with bloodshot eyes, I managed to create a natural makeup look on my first day after getting a lash perm.
Instead of mascara, I’ve long relied on black tinting during my eyelash perm sessions to define my lashes a bit more. For a sharper look, I also apply a nourishing black eyelash serum, which helps maintain the curl and promotes healthy lash growth.
