3. Lip makeup products made in Korea:

Before the K-pop craze, Korean makeup was often associated with natural, dewy, and hydrated looks. Indeed, Korean daily makeup tends to favor a barely-there appearance, along with lip products that maintain moisture while adding a natural flush of color. In this aspect, Korean mid-range cosmetic brands also demonstrate remarkable quality. Consequently, many international luxury cosmetic brands have begun outsourcing the production of their moisturizing lip products to Korean manufacturers. It is particularly noteworthy that popular products like Hourglass's Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm and Yves Saint Laurent's Candy Glaze Balm are being produced through cosmetic OEM in Korea.
