Inklore, the webcomics and manhwa imprint of Random House Worlds, revealed the official cover design for Volume 1 of The Makeup Remover, its first modern-day romance manhwa slated for release next year.
The new cover features the title word “Makeup” in elegant lavender cursive, framed by pastel-colored hearts and flowers. Main characters Yeseul and Yuseong sparkle under glittery highlights, giving the design a dreamy pop-romance vibe. The most notable change is the title’s shift from a bold bubble font to this softer, more stylized version.

Originally created by Lee Yeon, The Makeup Remover debuted on Naver WEBTOON on May 3, 2018, and concluded in Korea on November 19, 2020. The English version ran from September 21, 2020, to February 24, 2022, amassing nearly 109 million views. The series has earned praise for its bold critique of the beauty industry’s unrealistic standards while championing authenticity and empowering readers to use makeup on their own terms.
Inklore shared the following 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 put on 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.
With its refreshing message and relatable characters, The Makeup Remover is set to charm a whole new audience in print form next year.
