The Amazon and YesStyle buttons are plain search links (not affiliate yet). They simply open search results for the brand and product, with no effect on prices or results.

What the data says: (1) Six of the global top 10 are Korean brands — a measure of K-beauty’s reach. (2) Prices span $11 to $40 as the market spreads from luxury into the mid-range. (3) Glossy finishes (7) outnumber matte (3), but the next wave — a matte comeback — is already clear.

Before you buy: (1) Pick a color family that suits your personal color. (2) Decide your finish — matte, satin, or glossy. (3) If your lips run dry, lean glossy or a mask-type balm. (4) On a budget, Korean mid-range ($10–15) gives up little to luxury on performance.
