SEOUL, Dec. 14 (Korea Bizwire) Months into the coronavirus pandemic, protective masks have become an everyday necessity.
While many people are struggling with the inconvenience and restrictions that the pandemic era has created, some people point out that they don’t have to care about their looks since they spend most of their day at work covering up their faces.
Female office workers, in particular, claim that they have escaped the need to worry about makeup.
“Ever since the outbreak, we spend most of the day with masks on, so I go to work these days without makeup,” said a 27-year old female office worker in Seoul. “It doesn’t take me as long to get ready in the morning, and I’m spending less on cosmetics.”
