As people, we can't help judging things by its brand and price. We tend to be more biased to products that are more expensive, or better marketed as luxurious, premium etc., or maybe even an ordinary brand that's worked its magic once, so you assume everything from them must be awesome.
Naturally, the first time I heard about "blind tests" that Koreans do, I was immediately intrigued. Testing products without knowing its brand and price? It's got to be good.
Allure Korea conducts beauty tests every year using a combination of methods, among them being online surveys and blind tests. Over 900 products, Korean and international, were screened over by thousands of people. These participants consist of people like you and me, and professional skincare experts and make up artists.
Using my mediocre Korean, along with the help of Google translate, and my superb guessing skills, I will attempt to translate the result page for you.
