Interesting read about how long it takes, on average, for a Korean girl to apply make-up:

Are they including the time that is spent on their "touch ups" throughout the day..?

Remember the survey that said they wait an average of 11 months to jump in the sack? I want to see the survey of how many Korean women tell lies on anonymous surveys.

If I have said it once...I've said it many times...korean women and make-up. Circus clowns. Freak shows judging by the way many apply make-up...pancake mix! And yet...the one's who wear make-up...usually don't need any! The one's who need it...don't wear it!
But 17 minutes? Average? That means that some take 30, 40 minutes!
Oh well...anything to try and look pretty for the guys!

17 minutes is nothing.

I spend about that long... but i guess that is AVERAGE. What's the big deal?

and let's not forget that's the full regime- cleansing, toner, moisturiser, then base, then a little- oh no. I've said too much.

True it many cases. My girl wore way too much. It made her look like a corpse if you saw her in daylight.
She told me her mother told her never to let a man see her without makeup on! She would always wake up before me so that when I woke up she would already have her face on.
I really wanted to go the chimchilbang with her, but she didn't want to because she couldn't wear makeup. I finally convinced her, and when I saw her real face for the first time -- surprise! It looked great. Her natural color was actually much better then the paint color IMO.
Of course, Koreans are really into having light skin for some reason that I can't fathom.

I've always pegged RR as one of those guys you sometimes go for dinner with. The bill comes. Everyone puts in their money plus 15% extra for tip, except for RR. He counts out what he owes to the last penny and then mounts a 20 minute argument why you shouldn't ever tip a waitress.

The average Korean woman spends 27.5 years of her life looking in the mirror.
