Rom&nd and ETUDE are two of K-beauty's most iconic lip brands, with Rom&nd known for its high-shine, long-lasting tints and ETUDE for its lightweight, transfer-proof matte formulas.

Together, they offer a diverse range of textures and shades that define modern lip makeup.

rom&nd The Juicy Lasting Tint – Peach Tone

Rating: 4.3/5

Price: around €10–12

This warm peachy shade has a soft, flattering character that works especially well for understated daytime makeup. The texture is lightweight and non-sticky, while the glossy finish gives the lips that polished, almost candied look associated with the line.

The colour can be worn sheer or built up slightly, making it a useful choice if you prefer a lip product that feels softer than traditional lipstick but still leaves noticeable pigment.

ETUDE Over Glowy Tint – Soft Rose

Rating: 5/5

Price: around €15–17

This rosy shade has a smooth, high-shine finish that makes the lips look fuller and more dimensional. The formula contains glycerin and squalane, which help keep the texture feeling comfortable rather than dry.

Compared with rom&nd, the overall effect is a little more gloss-like and cushiony. It is especially pretty with minimal makeup, where the shine and muted rose colour can do most of the work.

rom&nd The Juicy Lasting Tint – Berry Tone

Rating: 4.3/5

Price: around €10–12

The deeper berry-pink version gives the same glossy formula a brighter personality. It still keeps that semi-sheer quality, so the lips look stained and fresh rather than covered in an opaque layer of colour.

Applied lightly, it creates a soft flushed effect; layered more generously, it becomes noticeably richer while keeping the juicy shine intact.

ETUDE Over Glowy Tint – Bright Pink

Rating: 5/5

Price: around €15–17

This is the brightest option in the group. The cool pink colour stands out more clearly, while the glossy texture keeps the result playful rather than overly bold.

It works well when you want the lips to become the focus of an otherwise neutral look. Despite the stronger shade, the finish still feels soft, fresh and easy to wear.

Both formulas are built around glossy, comfortable colour, but they create slightly different effects. rom&nd feels lighter and more stain-like, while ETUDE gives a fuller, more polished gloss finish. Either way, the result stays fresh, wearable and very much in line with the softer side of K-beauty makeup.
