Our Pick
Beauty of Joseon
Higher editor rating (9 vs 8.5)
Peripera
Peripera owns the lip tint category. Their Ink Velvet formula is genuinely one of the best on the market at any price — long-lasting, comfortable, and the shade range is excellent. Beyond lips, their blushes and eye products punch above their weight. Not a skincare brand, but essential for the K-beauty makeup side.
Pros
- ✓ Best-in-class lip tints
- ✓ Incredibly affordable
- ✓ Trendy shade range updated seasonally
- ✓ Great blush formulas too
Cons
- ✗ Skincare range is limited
- ✗ Some shades run different from swatches online
- ✗ Packaging feels cheap on some products
Beauty of Joseon
Beauty of Joseon has quietly become one of the most impressive value propositions in K-beauty. Their Relief Sun is arguably the best budget sunscreen globally, and the Glow Serum delivers genuine results at a price that undercuts competitors by half. The hanbang angle could be gimmicky, but they back it with solid formulation science.
Pros
- ✓ Exceptional price-to-performance ratio
- ✓ Relief Sun SPF 50+ is a standout product
- ✓ Hanbang ingredients backed by real formulation
- ✓ Elegant textures despite budget pricing
Cons
- ✗ Limited product range compared to larger brands
