Hey, bestie! If you’ve been curious about diving into South Korean lip makeup, I’ve got you covered. 💄 I’m sharing the best brands to start with—so you can skip the trial and error I went through and go straight to the good stuff.
I’m so excited to bring you my top recommendations for Korean lip tints, glosses, and more. This guide is designed to be both educational and budget-friendly, so you can find products that actually deliver without wasting your money. (I'll even include my shades!) 🤍
I’ve filtered through the brands everyone talks about and narrowed it down to the ones that truly live up to the hype. I can’t wait for you to see what made the list—so you can confidently shop for your next lippies from brands you can trust. ✨
Here are the best Korean Lip Tints and Glosses you should wear in 2026:
Rom&nd - Juicy Lasting Tint (#28 BARE FIG)
This is Rom&nd’s original Juicy Lasting Tint, and it’s a staple for a reason. The formula is moisturizing, richly pigmented, and leaves behind a soft stain even after it wears off.
I especially love this shade (“Bare Fig”) on my skin tone. It gives the perfect natural flush while still adding enough color to pull a look together. While it has decent staying power, it’s not the most “meal-proof” tint out there.
If you’re looking for a stronger, longer-lasting stain, I’ve included their new formula below. But overall, this is the tint I reach for daily because of how effortlessly pretty it looks on the lips. ⋆. 𐙚 ̊
Price: $14
AOU - Glowy Tint Balm (#01 APPLE BALM & #03 MULBERRY BALM)
AOU is a unique K-beauty brand founded by one of Korea’s most renowned makeup artists, known for working with K-pop idols like Karina from Aespa.
What makes this brand special is how thoughtfully the formulas are created—they’re designed for a wide range of skin undertones and for those, natural-looking makeup styles. .✦ ݁˖
I personally love their glowy tint balms, and I even picked up the matching lip brush for a more precise application. The shades are absolutely gorgeous, and the formula feels super hydrating on the lips.
Price: $14
AMUSE - Jel-Fit Tint (#03 NU PINK)
I love this brand! AMUSE creates high-quality makeup, and their products are often worn by K-pop idols or K-drama actresses, which makes them even more fun to try.
This formula really stands out on a full face of makeup, especially when paired with other Korean products like cushion foundations—it gives that soft, polished, K-pop-inspired look. 𐙚⋆°｡⋆♡
I also recommend checking out their lip liners. Learning Korean lip techniques can be a game changer—different, but so beautiful.
Price: $19
Dasique - Souffle Color Pot (#09 HAZE ROSY)
I actually discovered the Soufflé Color Pot while browsing Miniso, and it turned out to be such a great find. It’s a matte lip with an impressive tint that lasts really well throughout the day.
What I love most about this formula is how it gives a natural look while still standing out—I’ve gotten multiple compliments wearing the shade “Haze Rosy.”
I usually go for cool or neutral-toned lippies, but they also have plenty of beautiful options for warm-toned girlies too. ☼ㅤ♡
Price: $16
TONYMOLY - Jelly Lip Melt (BLACKBERRY)
This Jelly Lip Melt is the perfect balm for a chill day. I love wearing it around the house or on no-makeup days when I still want a little tint.
The brand overall is fantastic, so I definitely recommend checking out their website for more gems—especially their mascaras.
The formula feels similar to a Vaseline-like balm, keeping your lips hydrated for hours, but with the added bonus of a beautiful tint. ✮⋆˙
Price: $12
Rom&nd - Glasting Color Gloss (#04 Grapy Way)
This is my absolute FAVORITE lip gloss—I wear it all the time and love layering it over other tints. It’s super versatile because it’s pigmented enough to wear on its own.
The formula is gorgeous, giving your lips a dewy, shiny finish. I love it so much that I keep repurchasing the same shade online.
If you’re looking for a reliable lip gloss to start with, even for a full-face makeup look, this one is a perfect choice. 𐙚⋆°｡⋆♡
Price: $14
Dasique - Pure Water Lip Gloss (#13 Mauve Grape)
This is my second favorite lip gloss. The tint isn’t as strong as the Rom&nd Glasting Color Gloss, but it’s still gorgeous—and probably an even better option for layering over other tints.
The packaging is super cute, and they have great shades for warm, neutral, and cool-toned girlies. I love how it looks on my lips when I’m going for a natural, clean-girl aesthetic.
The only downside is that mine leaks a little at the top. Otherwise, it’s a great gloss to have in your collection. ✿✮
Price: $14.90
AOU - Floofy Matte Balm (#04 COLD BALM)
I love a good matte look, and this is one of the best Korean matte balms out there. Created by a Korean makeup artist, it blends beautifully with other shades and glosses.
I picked mine in a darker color for night-time looks, and it’s definitely one of my standout lippies. I reach for it whenever I want a bold, sexy finish. ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･
If you’re searching for a top matte option, this one is up there with the Dasique Soufflé Color Pot.
Price: $14
Rom&nd - The Juicy Lasting Tint (BARE GRAPE) New Formula!
Okay, the moment you’ve been waiting for… The Juicy Lasting Tint (New Formula)! This is the 2.0 version of Rom&nd’s original Juicy Lasting Tint, with an improved formula that fans love.
It’s a strong rival to the original and has sparked debate among longtime Rom&nd fans—but most would agree this one takes the crown. ☆
Why? The tint lasts even longer than the original, making it perfect for eating out, partying, and looking good all night long. If you want a lip look that's here to stay, check this one out now!
Price: $15
Fwee - 3D Volumizing Gloss (Peach 70%)
Last but not least, we have Fwee’s 3D Volumizing Gloss! I use the 70% version, which is richly pigmented, though many people prefer the 30% for a softer, more natural look.
Unlike some of their other products, this gloss delivers amazing color without feeling thick or clumpy, making your lips look effortlessly beautiful.
If you’re looking for an affordable and stunning K-beauty lippie, this is definitely worth trying. Plus, depending on the shade you choose, each bottle comes with a unique, fun design! ⋆˚✿˖°
Price: $17
Okay bestie, now you know which Korean lippies are the absolute best! I hope you find the shade that works perfectly for you.
Since K-beauty really focuses on undertones, it’s helpful to know whether you’re warm, neutral, or cool-toned—this way, you can pick a lip color that truly complements your natural beauty.
I can’t wait to hear which Korean lippie becomes your favorite! And remember—whether you’re rocking Korean lippies or going makeup-free,
you are beautiful.
