About

Hello everyone and Welcome!

DearMirae is a blog where I talk about my life in Korea, Kbeauty, and my passions in general.

Born in 2014 as WinterskinMakeup, when the Korean wave was starting to surface in the western market, this blog provided for years reviews and opinions about the most innovative Korean beauty products.
In the old posts, you can still find reviews, pics, general posts, and everything you can think about about the infant years of K-Beauty in Italy. We didn't move anything, as it's part of our history!

However, as I explained in my post about why I took a hiatus since I moved to Korea, I decided to focus more on other topics, and not only about kbeauty. I was looking for a new start...and here we are!

Mirae is my Korean name, and this is why I decided to rebrand the blog and call it "Dear Mirae". 
I will still talk about k-beauty, but I also want to branch out and talk about other topics related to Korea. Here you will find makeup, skincare, travel, cafès, my hobbies, and little bits of my life!
I hope you'll love it here.

I started to buy beauty products when I was ten years old, because I loved art and colors. I had really problematic skin, so makeup became a shield for me. Even though I've always been passionate about makeup, beauty and skincare, my life took a different path when I started to attend a linguistic school.
Thanks to some friends who were passioned about Asia, mainly Japan and korea, I discovered a new world of cuteness, cheap prices and innovations; the asian market immediately got me. I was mesmerized by the korean brands mainly, so I started to purchase my first lipsticks from Etude House. I slowly learnet that Korea's best resource was skincare, and I soon dismissed my dermatologist for some products from a korean brand...Well, things ended up pretty well for me, and now I'm here to share my experience with all of you through this blog.
I attended the faculty of LLEM - Languages and Modern Literatures in TorVergata, and I got my bachelor degree at the age of 24. During that time, I also studied as Makeup Artist in the Accademia di Trucco Professionale of Jole Panzera in Rome, where I graduated with the highest grades.
Now that I'm a makeup artist, I can finally usemy knowledge of skincare to help my clients have a better result and make peace with their skin problems. I really want my work to incorporate some of my "asian" background in it.
