This week, our pick of the Korean Beauty Brands is Etude House.
One of Korea’s oldest and most popular cosmetic brands is Etude House.
Originally known for its adorable packaging and store fronts designed to look like dollhouses, Etude House is one of the most successful brands owned by Korea’s largest cosmetic corporation Amore Pacific (which is also the parent company behind hit Kbeauty labels Laneige, Sulwhasoo, Mamonde, Hera, IOPE and Innisfree, just to name a few). These days, you’re more likely to recognise the brand thanks to its collaborations with conglomerates like Hersheys and Tom & Jerry rather than its princess-themed packaging of old.
Aside from its stores in Korea, Etude House also has stores in mainland China, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia and The Phillippines.
Etude House is well-known throughout Asia for using beautiful models as its covergirls, including leading Korean actors and KPop stars, like Jeon Ji-Hyun (“My Love From Another Star”), Song Hye-Kyo (“That Winter The Wind Blows”) and Lee Min Ho (“Boys Over Flowers”).
To get an idea of how popular the brand actually is, take a look through the #etude and #etudehouse hashtags on Instagram, which have over 5 million tags combined.
Etude House’s brand motto is “Play!” and nowhere is this more evident than in the brand’s packaging, which is fun to use, look at and photograph on the ‘gram.
The name Etude House is derived from “Etude“, which means “beautiful study of Chopin*” in French. (*a French composer)
The brand specialises in makeup, skincare, hair and beauty products. And in cute! Don’t forget the cute.
Etude House designs products with whimsical packaging, and in 2020, has a strong focus on collaborations.
The stores are set up to allow you to have fun with makeup, including a concept store in the glitzy Seoul neighbourhood of Sinsa where you can literally create your own makeup palettes.
With so many products that are gorgeous both inside and out, choosing favourites from Etude House is a seriously tough call! Our current hits include:
