Korean Beauty Standards

Korean beauty standards are an interesting beast. I don't have the time (years) or energy (infinite) to describe them extensively. Basically, they are very different from western standards. Cleavage is totally taboo, and shirts are usually buttoned up to the neck. Puffy eyes are considered to be cute. Hair should be smooth and totally tamed down. Makeup should be minimal, though eyeliner and bright red lips are also popular. More than sexy, women should be seen as cute and innocent.

Basically, whenever I get really sleepy and forget to wash my hair, I get a lot of compliments. Today was a big day for me, looks-wise, here.
