In the latest installment of Cut Video's popular series 100 Years of Beauty, the evolution of makeup and hair trends centers on Korean beauty. You're probably already obsessed with current Korean beauty products, but seeing how the looks have transformed since the bejeweled hairpins of the 1910s and the soft waves of the 1940s is supercool. One trend that's remained constant throughout the years, however, is the flawless skin we all want to have. In 60 seconds, the video even illustrates the stark differences between each decade's looks in South vs. North Korea — the latter country always being the more reserved of the two. Today, South Korean women tend to rock a fake-lash look and heavy liner, while those of North Korea stick to a more minimal, dewy look.
