I love this webtoon! The messages in general are super great and even though it is fictional and on a very ridiculous premise at some points, it addresses real issues that most people overlook when it comes to things like celebrities and makeup. I really adore the art and the plot is really developing well! Every challenge in the competition is super interesting and Yeseul’s personal take on every theme is really inspiring and shows that the first thing that comes to mind is only a scratch on the surface of what something can truly be.

This is a series review because this story is complete and fully translated on the Webtoon app in the US (Go check it out!) I wish there was a physical copy of it in English. It should have been released like yesterday.

Yeseul is a college student who is an amateur at putting on makeup and wants to learn how to be good at it to build her confidence. A series of events lead her to encounter Yuseong a popular makeup artist who recruits Yeseul to become his model for a televised makeup competition.

This story paced well with lots of humor sprinkled in between the lessons t about make-up through the eyes of Yeuseul. Self-love vs. conforming to beauty standards was a big theme throughout the story. I was at the edge of my seat thinking about what Yeseul or any of the other characters would do next in the competition. Did I get invested in the side character stories as well? Of course, I did. My only wish they had more screen time like Eunhua the biracial model, or even that guy who literally wore clown make up every challenge. Their screentime was everything and I wanted to know more about them.

3.5 Stars
    The Makeup Remover is an important and enjoyable read that dissects beauty standards, mental health, makeup, and dreams. Our protagonist, Yeseul, watches those who live in the spotlight. She has always wanted to be beautiful, like Heewon Ju, and popular like Seungwoo. When she asks for her makeup to be done to make her look like Heewon, she is mocked and flees in embarrassment. Then she meets Yuseong Cheon, a makeup artist willing to help her.

     Yuseong sees a beauty in Yeseul that does not come from within. He decides to make her his model on the condition that she will hide her real identity and use a different name: Toseul. In the makeup show, she meets Heewon again, who ends up being her #1 competitor. On the outside, Heewon is perfect—a woman who meets all the beauty standards. Inside, she hates that she fits into the perfect mould. Many tell her they want to be like her, but Heewon is sick and tired of always being wanted only for her beauty and never being able to show what she really wants to.

      The first couple of episodes are about Yeseul, curious, hopeful, but insecure, finding beauty in herself. She only feels beautiful when she wears makeup, and she soon finds herself struggling to feel beautiful if she doesn't fit the standard. Yuseong embarks on a journey with her throughout this competition and teaches her how makeup is a way of expressing oneself and the beauty that was always there. This was such a great start to the series about one's relationship with their face and body and one's relationship with who they are.

Me gustó que yo esperaba un manhwa de romance más del montón, y terminó siendo una historia que te hace cuestionar ciertos conceptos que como sociedad tenemos incrustados como "normal". ¿Por qué consideramos que eso es lo que está bien? ¿Por qué no podría ser de esta otra forma? Tiene un enfoque feminista que me gustó un montón. En mi opinión hubiera sido mucho mejor con como 30 caps menos, porque ya a lo último se hizo un toque denso. Amé como todos los personajes de a poquito iban haciéndose estos cuestionamientos, e iban creciendo como personas, dejando de querer complacer al otro para aceptarse a uno mismo 🤧 Le iba a poner un 7, pero final de mierda cómo no van a terminar juntos la re puuuu entre esta mierda y kpop demon hunters estoy en abstinencia de romance amigo me voy a matar

3 de 5 estrellas.

This comic is fantastic and one of the best I've ever read. I'm all caught up to like ep 60 it's so good. Great reflection on makeup and how we can use it to transform our confidence and how we feel about ourselves, how we can use it in our own way and the most important things is using makeup for ourselves, the harm of conventionality, the bad side of being beautiful along with the privledge of it, well developed characters all with many layers, and also the drawings are spectacular. I love the way this comic dives so deeply into sterotype and the harm of conventional beauty for all people.

It's so refreshing

Una historia que nos habla sobre el amor propio, la amistad, el trabajo en equipo y el descubrimiento de nuestro ser, como de nuestras verdaderas pasiones también.

Amé la historia, disfruté muchísimo el desarrollo de cada uno de los personajes, cada uno tuvo un desarrollo y desenlace que fue perfecto para cada uno. Me hubiera gustado ver un poco más de la relación de los protas, sin embargo, no me molesta que lo hayan dejado a la deducción o interpretación de cada lector.

Un muy buen Webtoon que si en algún momento llegaran a adaptar, me haría mucha ilusión de ver, sin duda tienen que darle una oportunidad y leerla. 😊💖

This volume is basically introducing the main issue: signing a model deal, etc. I really enjoy the style of the characters, and also the expressions. THE EXPRRESSION WHEN THEY HAD TAKEN THEIR MAKEUP OFF- they went from having anime eyes to just a singular dot as an eye. I just could not contain my laughter.

I will try to continue the series, hopefully when my laptop isnt being a pain in the arse and saying 'hMMm..can't reach this page' WDYMMMM

I CRIED OH MY GOD bro representation matters you would understand if you read it
If you are more interested in the romance then it might be disappointing but other than that it is so good teaches you about self love and makeup as an art
Not hating on anyone but it deserves the love and attention 'True beauty' got

[Rana Safi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yeseul reminds me of myself in some ways when she can't take compliments and always doubts her worth. I also don't care for makeup much and this brought my attention more to how people may perceive that but I hope it isn't in such a negative light. I also like the makeup artist, how he treats her and tries to boost her confidence. excited to see them win this.

[Mikay · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was a very sweet history, with great characters developments. I already like content with makeup contests and this webtoon was just what I was looking for. Plus all the discussion of real beauty versus makeup beauty was great.
But I was hoping the ending would be more cliché (I was looking for something with a bit more romance).

[sinem · Rating 5 out of 5]

i finished the entire series and it was really good 😭
it has so many great themes and the plot doesnt only focus on romance (it barely has it actually)
some stuff it talks about are the upsides and downsides of makeup and how its not for everyone, i recommend you check it out if you like this kind of stuff

idk if this review has potential spoilers so im marking it for spoilers

[Gemma · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is such a wonderful WEBTOON, it has so many great references and also genuinely good make-up tips! Love the messages, and creative ideas. This is everything that I was hoping True Beauty would be like.

[aurelie *ੈ✩‧₊˚ · Rating 5 out of 5]

okay so im kinda cheating in saying i read this legit book, but then I technically did read this book plus the other 200 with it since i read the whole webtoon BUT STILL- ITS THE CUTEST MOST EMACULATE THING ON EARTH AND IT'S ADORABLE. i legit love it sm <3

[Cynthia · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of my favorite Webtoons. Def recommend for young-adult girls or anyone who can do with some more body positivity in life - which I think most of us do these days. I wish the ending was a bit more conclusive, but overall loved it.

[Space_cadet · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing. True beauty done right. I love all the deep topics that are presented regarding looks and how we value and judge based on them. It's also a really fun webtoon!

[skinnybivch · Rating 4 out of 5]

SO GOOD

[Ivy Blues · Rating 5 out of 5]

The characters are spot on, there’s no two characters the same. They all have so much deeper than the surface level characteristics. And the panels are just *chef's kiss*

[Ellen · Rating 2 out of 5]

Got bored with this. No good reason just took too long to get going for me

[Smriti Bhat · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the few webtoons with an extremely engaging story and a deep impact. It analyses society's beauty standards and presents a nuanced view.

[Anahita Solot · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very thought provoking journey of a girl who can't accept the way she looks and one other girl that realizes beauty is not the true power of a woman.
