In the race to tap into the U.S. market’s seemingly insatiable appetite for all things K-beauty, some Korean brands are enlisting Muskat Beauty Inc. — a Los Angeles-based K-beauty curator and distributor founded in 2025 — to help place them on major retail players’ radars. While it may feel like a new K-beauty brand finds a home on an American beauty retailer’s shelves every day, there’s a calculated playbook behind this global expansion. After all, brands cannot merely copy-and-paste their Korea-specific retail strategies onto the U.S. market. This is where Muskat comes in: Founder Daniella Jung and her team of 25 employees mastermind K-beauty brands’ go-to-market strategies across...

Guests ignored the steamy temperature and wore black layers with boots and tights to showcase Awe Inspired’s new Nocturne jewelry collection , and the campaign fronted by Wilson. The celebration marked the brand’s final “chapter” in this collection: The Gorgon, inspired by Medusa and the power of the female gaze.
