For all of you makeup aficionados this is the real-deal. Kryolan is a true "picada" for buying…read morequality makeup (I'm talking about the makeup used on movie sets, theaters and photo shoots). Kryolan is not publicized and is pretty hidden, only those who "know" know to come here (and are faithful customers). Although they have different lines of makeup, such as "social use", "theater" and "high-definition", what really caught my attention is their artistic/high def lines. Among the different products they offer, they seem to specialize in foundation and "correctors" that are used and preferred by those who study makeup or are in theater, movies, even cross dressers -- basically, anyone with a serious coverup need (this is not for those trying to hide the random blemish). They have coverup from the darkest to lightest shades - even a special spray that I am told is used for those in the advertising world during photo shoots. The extremely friendly sales woman also told me that all of their makeup was used for the musical Cats when they were on their tour in Chile (serious street cred right there). They also offer makeup courses (I believe they are paid). Overall, the prices are a bit on the expensive side, but the quality is unbeatable. Their slogan says it all: "professional make-up" this is not for novices.

This is the first physical store I've seen in Chile that carries K-Beauty (Korean beauty) products!…read more (But as a disclaimer, I haven't been to the "Korean" business area of Santiago - the Barrio Patronato in Recoleta - in a long time. In addition to a section of K-beauty products (including moisture masks and serums), this store has all kinds of beauty supply products, like for hair and nails. They also have a pretty impressive collection of rolling cosmetics cases for makeup artists (of which I forgot to take a picture)! They also carry UV/LED nail products. By Chilean standards, this is a very clean, bright and new store, which makes for a pleasant shopping experience. Like most places in Chile, they accept credit cards with no problem. The prices are ok (not super cheap, not super expensive), and the service is very attentive. I will definitely return & recommend this business.
