I bought it because the color was a fluorescent pink shade.🩷 The matte finish gives good color payoff. The color is definitely vivid and looks pretty!
Cons
Aside from the gradual price increases, there's nothing else. The prices are rising everywhere, too.

This is very similar to Hwahae and looks beautiful when used together. After applying this evenly all over the lips, start from the center of the Hwahae and create a gradient effect, and your lips will become like a camellia flower🌺 If you apply it thinly, the unique adhering formula of the retro matte texture allows you to express a tint-like effect for a long time. Even if it's not a retro matte, this is one of the reasons why some prefer lipstick.
Cons
Undoubtedly, among the mats, this one has the thickest and crayon-like texture, so it's likely to have strong likes and dislikes. I fell in love with it from the very first time I tried it. It applies intuitively and fixes well, yet it doesn't cling to the skin. It has excellent longevity. As long as you control it well, it's also easy to sheer it out.

I've excluded the ambiguous ones like Russian Red or Ruby Woo. 1, 4, and 7 are definitely not meant to be worn alone. The rest are possible.🥰 1. Wembe Magenta Rush 2. Baek Fuchsia Pink 3.

This is the lip that your friends always asked about when you wore it. It's a lipstick that literally turns on a fluorescent light on your face.
Cons
If you're someone who applies multiple lip products, you might think the amount is a lot. I'd recommend purchasing the mini versions that are available.

The product is famous for being very cool. It didn't really suit me because I found it too cool. I'd recommend it to those with a completely cool-toned complexion. When I applied it, it made my lips look bluish and gave me a very severe look, as I have a more neutral-toned complexion. A more lukewarm tone would have been better for me. The color itself was pretty though.
Cons
I tend to prefer matte finishes, so I have a bit of visible flakiness. I'll do some exfoliation and then apply it.

It feels good that the lips don't just appear reddish on the face. This color suits summer cool-toned skin. This is a color that is hard to find in other brands. It lasts for 2-3 hours even when I'm just sitting still. This is a lipstick with good color payoff.
Cons
The matte lipstick tends to be a bit drying when applied alone. When applying the lipstick, lip balm is necessary. The price range is moderate.
Tip
A classic-feeling lipstick Applying a matte lipstick requires exfoliating the lips and applying lip balm beforehand for the best results.

I bought this when IU was really popular back then haha. I noticed it and purchased it, but it turned out to be a hot pink, which doesn't really suit my warm-toned skin tone :( However, the product quality is good, with great lasting power and a slight chocolate scent that I enjoy haha. The bullet-shaped packaging is also convenient to carry and doesn't get damaged easily. Even though it's a lipstick, it leaves some staining behind when removed!
Cons
Be sure to test the color, as it seems to be more suited for cool-toned skin tones :(

The color of the Yeukline is very beautiful. However, if you don't control the application well, it can look overdone. Proper application is the key.
Cons
The matte finish is still too much for me. On top of my already dry lips, the color is the only nice thing.

IU's lipstick is famous, so I applied it and it has a vibrant color and a matte texture 💞 I wore it with just sunglasses and took a really pretty selfie ㅎ
Cons
MAC lipstick causes flakiness, which is disappointing, but the color is so beautiful that I still love it ㅠ

MAC's lip products all have vibrant colors and look beautiful when applied.
Cons
The colors are quite similar, so I would recommend testing them in person rather than purchasing online. Lip products seem to be quite alike.

The color is really beautiful I've been using this lipstick since it was named after IU, and I don't even know how many I've gone through now lol It's super matte, thick, and drying... but I still keep buying it and using it after applying lip balm, because I'm just captivated by the beautiful color lol It's already a very famous color, but there are still people who ask what I'm wearing when I have it on And it has a slight fluorescent tone, but it's not too much, so it brightens up my face a bit, and the slight fluorescence gives it a certain charm If you apply it all over the lips and then just dab a little MAC Ruby Woo in the center, it looks so beautiful This looks amazing on its own, but it's also great for overlining!
Cons
Matte, matte, thick, dry... that's about it! It's like a crayon I couldn't find anything similar from other brands
Tip
Make sure to apply lip balm first before putting this on! I like to wear this and then add a lip oil or gloss on top, which gives it a nice glossy look My tip is to wear this with Ruby Woo - it's stunning!
