We love highlighting cool foreign beauty brands that you may not have heard of (check out our profile on Rouge Bunny Rouge). Today’s pick, Sulwhasoo, hails from Korea, and you’ll find it sold at some of the highest-end (and most discerning) retailers (think Bergdorf‘s and Neiman Marcus). They’re known for their powder shine compacts (see one above) with skin brightening ingredients and incredibly ornate packaging — and they change up the limited-edition designs year-round.

It gently strips away surface impurities and makeup without stripping skin — and that’s why so many people become loyal to cleaning oils over creams, gels, and foams.
