The Rise of K-Makeup 2025: Soft Looks, Strong Identity

In 2025, Korean makeup trends have made a bold return — but it’s no longer about just “natural looks.” It’s now emotional makeup: soft finishes with meaningful color storytelling.

Trends to watch:

  • Moody Coral & Dusty Rose palettes dominate spring/summer lines.

  • Blur-effect lipsticks from Rom&nd, Peripera, and Amuse are viral on TikTok and Pinterest.

  • Water tint blushes are the new essential — giving you a no-makeup makeup vibe with buildable payoff.

Korean cosmetics also embrace clean formulas and skin-beneficial makeup, meaning foundation now includes SPF 50+, niacinamide, and peptides.

Why the popularity?

Because people want multi-tasking products. A 2025 favorite: cushion foundations that offer skincare, sunblock, and buildable coverage — all in one compact.

👉 Featured hero product:
Amuse Dew Power Vegan Cushion — the best-seller among Gen Z Koreans and globally trending for its dewy finish and vegan clean formula.
