Our Pick
Beauty of Joseon
Higher editor rating (9 vs 8)
TIRTIR
TIRTIR went from unknown to globally viral in under two years, and the hype is mostly justified. The Mask Fit Red Cushion genuinely delivers buildable, skin-like coverage with impressive longevity. Their skincare line is solid but secondary — this is a brand you buy for their base makeup.
Pros
- ✓ Mask Fit Cushion is genuinely excellent
- ✓ Industry-leading shade range for K-beauty
- ✓ Long-wearing formulas
- ✓ Clean ingredient philosophy
Cons
- ✗ Skincare line is unremarkable
- ✗ Premium pricing for K-beauty
- ✗ Limited availability outside Asia
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
