The Makeup Remover

The Makeup Remover Synopsis

She might have the plainest face in the country… and that's exactly why he wants her.

Kim Yeseul has always heard that everyone glows up in college… so why does she feel like the least pretty college student ever?! All of her peers look effortlessly put together 24/7, but Yeseul has no idea how to apply makeup or style her hair. With neither the looks nor the confidence to stand out, Yeseul resigns herself to hiding behind her camera as she completes her photography degree.

Enter Cheon Yuseong, the most sought-after makeup artist in Korea. He needs a model for an upcoming TV competition series, and he's certain that Yeseul's plain face is the perfect canvas to showcase his skills. Yeseul isn't interested in fame or glory - she just wants to look pretty enough to catch the attention of her longtime crush, Seungwoo. But as Yeseul plunges face-first into the cutthroat world of cosmetics, she begins to question whether appearance really is everything.

Volume 1 collects episodes 1-14 of the webcomic The Makeup Remover.
