What to Buy in Seoul; Fwee

I highly recommend checking out the Fwee flagship store in Seongsu. They have dozens of shades to choose from and plenty of little makeup stations to swatch colors to your hearts content. There are even little helpful color charts to help pick colors according to your skin tone.

So, I built my winter night routine around this information and the results have not disappointed.
