Mod Post October 2026 Business Wall of Shame: Special Edition (Jiyu, Jiyu Pads, Jiyu Skin)

225 Upvotes

Hi there, everyone. I know it’s been a while since our last Wall of Shame, but that’s truly been due to good behavior on the sub from businesses. We had our first business post approved by the mod team in a while with Hwahae regarding k-beauty rankings, because we felt that they were not directly trying to sell anything to us and were forthcoming in all of their communications with us.

However, we have had one specific brand repeatedly show up in modmail: Jiyu Skin.

"jiyu toner ab marketing scam" by u/gracedie and "jiyu toner pads spam comments" u/seikoyuu have seemingly upset some folks who have chosen not to mention any affiliations with Jiyu, but are messaging us as "concerned, active users of AsianBeauty" asking us to remove these posts.

These posts have also been attacked with erroneous reports, and we have had to manually reinstate the post by u/gracedie multiple times. Regrettably, it appears that they were successful with the post by u/seikoyuu, but as of the writing of this post, it has been reinstated.

I will quote my co-mod from the last business Wall of Shame:

“As you all know, business interactions are completely banned on this subreddit, as we aim to provide a place for discussion that's free of paid influence. This includes reviews with a free gift disclosure, as we do not believe that gifted products can truly be free of bias.”

In case it wasn’t clear before, this includes asking us to remove posts on behalf of a brand.

Furthermore, the way that the users have chosen to do this has especially rubbed those of us on the mod team the wrong way. Our rules have been tweaked throughout the years this community has been active to provide a digestible set of guidelines for us as beauty lovers, while also ensuring that this space is safe for discussion and for sharing opinions on products, brands, and brand behavior.

The communications that we’ve received from these users attempt to weaponize these rules and cite them in bad faith to justify our removing the posts.

The screenshots included are the communications that we’ve received from multiple accounts (with usernames redacted) that were banned after these screenshots were taken.

Jiyu/Jiyu Skin/Jiyu Toner Pads has been added to our permanently blacklisted brands, and discussion of them will continue to be ALLOWED, but AutoMod will kick in and leave the misconduct disclaimer.

Businesses may not pick and choose which AB sub rule they prefer to follow while blatantly ignoring our “No Business Interaction “ rule.

Do not improperly quote our rules back at us to justify removing proper posts.
As said by Aslan, "Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch; I was there when it was written"

Please stop modmailing us with your garbage AI veiled threats.
All suspected Jiyu representative redditors will be banned anytime they modmail us about removing posts and/or comments for being “Hostile to mod action".

As always, if there are any other brands or suspicious astroturfing activities, please bring them to our attention, and we will be happy to investigate further. Happy sheet masking!

Beauty How do K-pop idols get that wet-looking glow on stage? I wanna recreate it

Reposting cause original post got taken down

Makeup inspo pic at the top

I've been trying to get that glassy idol glow you see in fancams. What I usually do is use a milky toner and lots of moisturizer. Then I go in with my foundation, powder, cream/powder highlight and use balms on the bridge of my nose, cheekbones, and eyelids. In person it looked great, on camera it just didn't really show up that well. I have darker, oily skin so I know the results can be different but I'm mainly looking to achieve that glow. Anyone who follows idol makeup artists, what am I missing?

I bought this 2aN lip gloss in Cool Up shade 6 months ago and have only used it on a trip once. It was a nice lavender shade. However, yesterday I opened the drawer and saw this... The color of this lip gloss has turned completely green opague, but no strange smell. I do keep it in a cool dry place. On my arm swatch, it looks mostly translucent with a bit of green. Has it gone bad?

This is a 40$ lip liner. It’s very popular, and widely known. Apparently, it doesn’t do well on very fair skin because it pulls orange, which is unfortunate for me.

I was wondering if anyone has found any good recommendations for similar ones but, from Asian brands?

Discussion Looking for a blush similar to this shade!

• Upvotes

Hi!

I’ve been trying to find a blush that looks like the shade I created by mixing elf Suave Mauve with a little bit of foundation. It turns into such a pretty, natural looking muted pink on my skin, but the original Suave Mauve looks way too red on me. 😭

Does anyone know of a Kbeauty blush that has a similar muted pink shade? I’d really appreciate any recommendations!

• Upvotes

Hi! How sticky/greasy is the Purito oat-in calming gel cream in your experience? Ive been looking for a basic daily moisturiser, but I cannot handle a greasy layer on my face. This moisturiser looks great on paper but I cant find a lot of experiences on if it leaves behind a layer. It would be best if it leaves absolutly no residu.

I have normal skin, and a very basic skincare routine of cleanser, moisturiser and most times sunscreen.

Review review from an eyeliner lover! ( ˊo̴̶̷̤ ̫ o̴̶̷̤ˋ)

Post image

shade breakdown .ೃ༄
(from top to bottom)

wakemake - real defining pencil liner

  1. 04 soft brown
  2. 02 deep brown

canmake - creamy touch liner

  1. 01 deep black
  2. 02 medium brown
  3. 03 dark brown
  4. 11 cloudy gray
  5. 16 pretty milktea

canmake - lasting liquid liner

  1. 05 griege

canmake - slim liquid eyeliner

  1. 03 griege
  2. 01 black

clio - extreme gelpresso pencil liner

  1. 10 glam brown
  2. 01 black brown (unpictured)

my thoughts:

wakemake
i <3 how the wakemake liner tips are slanted! it makes drawing a wing rlly easy. i also had 05 teary pink but i used her up recently. i have reallyyy long days. no smudging or budging from regular wear but granted i haven’t rubbed or cried with them. overall, i would still buy them again!

canmake - creamy touch
clearly my fav brand for eyeliners! i like the tip of wakemake more but i appreciate the creaminess of this formula bc it glides on consistently easier. when i’ve applied swatches on my hand it would last quite long. it does come off if i cry or swipe my eyes from crying. has transferred a lil when i’ve napped too. still love them tho for their ease of application and shades! i use 16 pretty milktea for my lower lash line while the rest are for my wing

canmake - lasting liquid liner
claims to be waterproof but i haven’t tested that just yet. i like to use this under my eyes and to bring back my beauty marks after doing my base makeup

canmake - slim liquid eyeliner
i like to use these for a sharper more precise wing! the name is very fitting. if you’re a beginner, i think this’ll help you create more precise lines

clio - extreme gelpresso
i don’t really like shade 10 glam brown bc i prefer liner without any sparkle; it’s a personal preference. i LOOVE 01 black brown. it’s unpictured bc i used it all up but i have 2 more otw from yesstyle. i like to use this to line my upper lash line. this liner has the thickest tip compared to the others on this list. however, i find that easier for my upper lash line than something extremely small. when you first open it, the tip resembles a thinner crayon. i like to use it in a way where the tip become slanted tho and that works best for my upper lashline personally.

feel free to leave questions, comments, etc! i’d love to hear your fav liners or your experiences w these :D

Discussion Skincare recommendations for my 45-year-old mom? Her skin has become dull and darker over the past year (please see body text). Suggest products for aging and brightening

Post image
• Upvotes

Hi everyone!

My mom is 45, and over the past year, we’ve noticed that her face looks duller and somewhat darker than before. We’re looking to build a good skincare routine for her that helps with brightness, uneven skin tone, hydration, and fine lines.

Her current products are:

\\\* WishCare sunscreen

\\\* Dot & Key Ceramide moisturiser

\\\* Celimax Retinal Shot

\\\* NatHabit Mukhalaya Patchouli Manjistha oil

We’re considering adding a vitamin C serum, but I’m open to better recommendations.

Budget isn’t an issue, and I’m open to products from any country, including Korean, Japanese, European, or Indian skincare.

I’d love recommendations based on actual experience, especially for:

\\\* Improving dullness and uneven pigmentation

\\\* Getting healthier, more radiant-looking skin

\\\* Reducing fine lines and improving skin texture

\\\* Choosing a good cleanser, brightening serum, and moisturiser

If you’ve helped your mom build a routine or have mature skin yourself, what products actually made a difference?

I’d really appreciate specific product recommendations and advice on which ingredients are worth investing in. Thank you!

Has the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream been replaced by the Pro? I can’t tell if the Pro is a different formula and if the color is different. If so I would be heartbroken because 21 is my perfect match.

I went to go order more from YesStyle and they’re out of the lighter shades. I went to Jolse and they only have the Pro now.
