Etude reviews and discussion

I received this product as a sample in the colors 02 and 06. It's a great lip stain that goes on easily and has a pleasant, fruity (but not too saccharine) scent. I liked that it left a pretty MLBB color on my lips well after the original, more pigmented color faded at the end of the day. It's very watery, so don't expect a cream finish, but I didn't have any issues with it drying out my lips.

I'm not someone who uses setting powder as a constant part of my routine but this one is actually super fine and doesn't crease much. It lasts a very long time and doesn't feel drying yet still looks very matte. It kind of "lifts" and creases a bit around the edges of my nose but I'm not going to knock a point off because I'm still very satisfied with how it doesn't dry out my skin which is something that I tend to struggle with when I use setting powder. A cool thing about it is that you can use it as dry shampoo and I tested it out a couple of times and it does work! It didn't make my hair stiff or look like dandruff so that adds to its 5 star rating. It comes with a little powder puff for application but sometimes I do use a triangle puff for my undereyes because it fits better. It's also really affordable and blends very easily without looking white!

I've tried a few Etude skincare and makeup products, by far, my favorite is the lip mask. Super thick, smells faintly of ginger - like Origins ginger line if you're familiar. This stuff is thick and sticky, but omg, wipe it off in the morning and then exfoliate the rest of with some water and circular motions and baby butt smooth lips!!! So much better result than Laneige (which I still like, but as a lip topper for shine or when smell is important)

I’m already on my third bottle of this lash serum because it really works — my lashes feel stronger and look fuller. It’s gentle on my eyes and super easy to apply without any irritation. Honestly, it’s a little magic wand for healthier, beautiful lashes! 👁️✨

I stumbled upon this tint and instantly loved its fresh, sweet apple shade—it’s so flattering for everyday looks. The color lasts well but can feel a bit drying after a few hours. If you prefer a moisturizing tint, you might want to try a different formula.

Love the Soon Jung barrier intensive cream. Use it after washing my face at night and leaves it feeling soft and moisturized. I barely get to use it these days because my boyfriend borrows it from me all the time, he's a fan too.

I love Etude! Like most Korean beauty brand it’s high quality, affordable, and made for sensitive skin types. Definitely recommend trying the brand from YesStyle or oliveyoung. Sad some products have been reformulated.

Love their sunscreen and cica products!

I love their contour products. It’s perfect for light to medium skin tone and the color is perfect. It’s not too ashy and not to deep or pigmented. The powder is smooth and not creamy so it doesn’t clump.
