Your own 'personal color palette'

The concept of a personalized color palette isn’t new, but it’s become a trend in Korea in recent years. Experts will advise you on the best colors for your skin tone to enhance your natural beauty. This beauty trend is attracting everyone from beauty influencers to K-pop idols like Blackpink’s Jisoo. Celebrity consultants at centers like Cocory will help you discover the perfect color for your wardrobe, makeup, or hair.

The perfect ID photo

Taking ID photos is a 'nightmare' for many people because of the paleness and lack of vitality in the pictures. Realizing that, Seoul has studios fully equipped with equipment to help anyone have the most beautiful ID photo.
