Synopsis

Photography student Kim Yeseul has always lived her life as others told her to. "Study, so that you can get into a good college," is the command often echoed by her mother. And so, not minding her looks or impression on others, Yeseul dedicates all her time to studying. However, despite her best efforts, her grades are middling, she has no friends, and her appearance is average at best.

On a whim, Yeseul goes to a makeup parlor, hoping to resemble Joo Heewon, the most gorgeous girl at her school, even a little bit. Her hopes are dashed, however, when the result is unfitting and clownlike. At the same time, Cheon Yuseong, a genius makeup artist, is searching for the perfect canvas. After a chance encounter, an unlikely partnership is formed between the two—a plain girl and a young genius—as they team up to compete in the televised competition known as "Face Off Cinderella."

The odds are not in their favor; ruthless competitors, Heewon herself, and greedy corporate executives all stand in the pair's way. If Yeseul and Yuseong are to win, they will have to truly stand out from the crowd and show that makeup isn't for the sake of others—it is meant to be for yourself and yourself alone.

Hi, this is the person who wrote that true beauty review.
Except I'm not here to trash this manhwa.

The makeup remover didn't come off as a super interesting webtoon/manhwa (at ...

Note before the review: It says there are only 26 chapters, but on Line Webtoon (where I read it), there are 127. I have read all 127.

Have you ever wanted to read a rom/dram where the characters actually have common sense? Well, here you go!

Story: 9
The premise of this story is that our main character, Yeseul, finds herself as a contestant in a TV show about makeup called Face Off Cinderella. I, personally, love gameshows, and so this premise instantly hooked me. However, the more important story in this manwha is told through the interactions of the characters, many of whom are fellow contestants. The ...

I think Lee Yone's work is very good. "The Makeup Remover," coincidentally, was my first exposure to it. To be clear, I am writing this review after re-reading the manhwa for the first time. Consequently, my opinion of it is a bit more critical and grounded.

I often see people say that what "The Makeup Remover" is represents exactly what "True Beauty" should have been and I fully agree with this statement. Unlike "True Beauty," "The Makeup Remover" sticks to its one goal through and through: increasing its audience's knowledge/understanding of makeup, as well as discussing makeup's strengths, weaknesses, and overall impact on society - both ...
