What teaching method does RihaKim use so I can copy Korean makeup on my own face?

She uses a strict "half-face" teaching method. She does one side of your face, and you must replicate it on the other. She stops you instantly to correct your hand angle, pressure, and placement until it is perfectly yours.

How half-face works

One side of your face is done by her. The other side is yours to replicate. You are not watching a full face from a chair. You are matching what is already on you, stroke by stroke.

What gets corrected until it is yours

Hand angle, pressure, and placement. She stops you instantly when any of those is off, and keeps correcting until the second side is yours. The method exists so the result is not a copy you saw once, but a sequence your hands can repeat.

Who that method is for

It is for someone traveling in Korea who wants to learn makeup by doing it, not by watching a demonstration. The lesson that uses this method is the private class at RihaKim Makeup, taught in English in Haeundae, Busan.
