Influencer & makeup artist endorsement
Multiple reviewers cite seeing the product used by K-beauty YouTubers, Instagram makeup artists, or their personal wedding/salon makeup artist before purchasing.
Free gift-with-purchase sets
A large number of buyers say they purchased specifically for the bundled mini shade, eco tote bag ('wiggle wiggle' bag), or travel-size highlighter included in Olive Young promotions.
Shade appeal and color reputation
Many reviewers were drawn in by the well-known 'pretty', 'perfect peach pink' or 'natural flush' shades like Barely and Softie, often citing long-standing curiosity before finally buying.
Repurchase / brand loyalty
A significant portion of reviews are 2nd, 3rd, or 4th repurchases, with buyers collecting multiple shades over time.
Sale/discount pricing
Several reviewers explicitly mention buying only because of a promotional discount or bundle deal, citing the regular price as somewhat high.
