Korean cosmetic companies are constantly introducing new formulas and trendy colors, and thanks to their effective marketing, these products often become viral sensations. Today, We want to introduce you to the most popular lip products in Korea that everyone is raving about.
1. Rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint
Rom&nd Olive Young
If you're already familiar with Korean cosmetics, you've probably heard of the "Juicy Lasting Tint" from Rom&nd. It's a must-have for anyone exploring K-beauty, and it continues to receive rave reviews. This tint provides a beautiful stain on your lips throughout the day while offering a glossy finish upon application. Unlike most glosses, it isn't sticky but rather has a slightly tacky finish that ensures it stays in place. The colors show up vividly on your lips, blending seamlessly with your natural lip color. The pigmentation is not too sheer either. This lip product is especially recommended if you prefer a dewy or semi-matte look. It adds a fresh and sweet touch to your makeup, making it perfect for any season. When applied, it gives your lips a luscious appearance, almost as if they were coated with honey, and after a few hours, it provides a plump, lollipop-like effect. Our favorites are the "baregrape" and "pomelo skin" shades, which create a neutral look while adding a tint that draws attention to the lips. However, there's a wide range of colors available to complement your style and skin tone.
2. Rom&nd Glasting Water Gloss

If you're aiming for a wet, dewy look, the Rom&nd Glasting Water Gloss is the perfect addition to your makeup collection, especially during the summer. Unlike a tint, this gloss offers a sheer finish that enhances your natural lip color. The formula contains tiny shimmer particles that make your lips glisten under the light. It's moisturizing and, like most glosses, has a slightly sticky finish. What sets it apart is that it provides a subtle plumping effect, giving your lips a natural fullness. When we first tried this gloss, we were pleasantly surprised by how pretty the lips looked compared to other days. It turned out that this gloss was formulated to give lips a little extra oomph. Our favorite shade is "meteor track," which works perfectly for a natural look, with its sheer coral hue enhancing the naturally pink lips.
3. Peripera Ink Mood Glowy Tint
Peripera Olive Young
Peripera is known for its playful concepts and vibrant colors, which impart a soft and lively look. The "Ink Mood Glowy Tint" offers a semi-matte finish with a touch of glossiness upon application. We love how it leaves a natural and even tint on the lips throughout the day. It works well for an everyday look and can be layered for a more dramatic effect. The packaging is aesthetically pleasing and conveniently sized to fit in a small purse. Peripera frequently releases new colors, so you have plenty of options if you enjoy the formula but want to try different shades.
4. Muzigae Mansion Object Liquid

The "Object Liquid" from Muzigae Mansion is a recently released lip product that generated a lot of anticipation after receiving positive reviews from beauty influencers. Muzigae Mansion pays great attention to packaging, making their products stand out even more. As shown in the image, the presentation of this tint is unique and exudes a chic modern vibe. The formula provides a matte finish and is highly pigmented. The shades are perfect for a neutral look, featuring cool tones that create a sophisticated and elegant appearance. While the previous lip products we mentioned were brighter and more lovely, the Object Liquid offers paler and cooler shades. It's currently priced at $24 USD, which is twice the price of Peripera's and Rom&nd's lip products. However, considering the quality of the packaging and the long-lasting nature of the tint, we believe it's worth the price. "Sequence" is our top choice as an everyday shade that complements most skin tones.
5. Muzigae Mansion Icy Glow

If the "Object Liquid" from Muzigae Mansion was too matte for your taste, they also offer the Icy Glow, a gloss tint that provides a dewy finish. Let us start by saying that the pigmentation of the Icy Glow is one of the prettiest we've ever seen. A little goes a long way, and we've even left it on for over 8 hours, finding that a single application lasted the entire day. With its glossy finish, it glides smoothly onto the lips. This is a lip product that can truly stand the test of time. It comes in six different shades, predominantly featuring cooler tones, just like the Object Liquid. Personally, we enjoy having bubbly and bright looks on some days, while opting for a chic appearance on others. The Icy Glow is perfect for both. It is priced at $24 USD, the same as the Object Liquid. Once again, the packaging is stunning, with a glass exterior that exudes a clean aesthetic, making the price justifiable.
6. Amuse Jel-Fit Tint
Amuse Olive Young
The Amuse Jel-Fit Tint evokes a bubblegum vibe with its bright and lively concept. It's a recently released lip product that often sells out quickly. The lip tint is housed in a pocket-sized packaging, emanating a clean and cute vibe. After swatching various shades, we found that many of them lean toward cooler tones, but the collection also offers a few neutral and warm finishes. The formula is quite similar to Peripera's Ink Mood Glowy Tint, but it tends to have a slightly more matte finish after a few hours. According to the website, it's supposed to last for 12 hours, and from our experience, it lives up to that claim. After the 5-hour mark, it settles into a natural finish that blends beautifully on the lips. One of the best-selling shades is "Peach Jelly," which leans slightly warm and works well with most skin tones. The tint is priced at $22.95 USD, slightly higher than other lip products, but still considered affordable.
