K-Beauty is a daily battleground for beauty. Where? Of course, Olive Young. It's arguably the busiest K-beauty store in Korea. Everyone wants to visit Olive Young in Korea, and they flock there to buy the most popular cosmetics. But did you know? Because of limited store space, there are many hidden K-beauty cosmetics that, despite their excellent quality, don't make it to Olive Young due to limited marketing costs (it costs a fortune to occupy space in Olive Young). Instead, they successfully sell their products under their own, high-quality brands. Unfortunately, these "David" companies (small but strong K-beauty brands) aren't yet well-known overseas. However, starting in the US, these indie K-beauty brands are slowly gaining recognition. "Not-in-Olive Young yet Decent K-beauty products" are slowly opening their doors!
