He wore makeup in secret for 30 years. It was a hobby he had to hide simply because he was a man.
"My friends would show off their new cars and post pictures of their plastic model kits on social media... but I had nothing to show off but my cosmetics. I wanted to talk about how the colors turned out, but I couldn't bring myself to do it."
His 'coming out' as a 'cosmetic enthusiast' (a portmanteau of cosmetics and otaku) brought him a second golden age. In addition to being a comedian and a DJ, he has now acquired a new profession as a beauty creator. "I feel much more at ease. I guess you could say I feel liberated." We met Kim Ki-soo (43), the 'hot' man who wears makeup these days.
Kim Ki-soo showcases makeup looks for women who want to look beautiful. Bold and bold makeup is Kim Ki-soo's trademark. There is a good reason why he has recorded 55,000 subscribers and approximately 3 million total views within just one year of opening his YouTube channel in the saturated beauty creator market. "Makeup exists to 'slather on' and show off the color payoff. But I don't understand why people click 'like' on content where someone just applies a tiny bit of brown and says, 'Isn't it pretty? Please subscribe and like.' Seriously, just apply this little bit. It's not fun."
His philosophy is that makeup is a means to become beautiful. To this, Kim Ki-soo added, "You have to do your makeup thoroughly and selfishly to become even more beautiful." "Natural" or "everyday" makeup should never be an option.
"If you go out on a date wearing everyday makeup, does your boyfriend look at you more? I'm telling you, no." He said that men's comments about preferring "natural-looking" makeup are ultimately just passing remarks, like "Let's grab a meal sometime!" "It is makeup when you look pretty yourself. If you do makeup to make others look pretty, that is nothing but showmanship. Ladies, please do makeup that makes you look pretty."
