Espoir Couture Lip Tint Glaze: Korea's 12 versus global site's 23 shades in five checks
Compare Espoir's official Korean 12-shade and English 23-shade listings for its 5.5g gloss tint, and learn careful application and hygiene.
Korean makeup brand Espoir's official Korean Couture Lip Tint Glaze product page lists 5.5g and 12 colors, while its English official product page lists 5.5g and 23 colors, as checked October 29, 2026. Language-market listings differ; that does not mean all 23 are available in Korea or that every international formula is the same. The Korean page lists Apple Sorbet, Odd Coral, Chillin' Chillin', Hushed Cherry, Orchid, Rosa, Brulee, Smoked, Petal Punch, Pinky Lowkey, Under Mauve and Butter Bell, some flagged sold out at time of checking. Espoir advertises syrup-like shine developing after 30 seconds; this is a manufacturer claim, not our wear test. Korean creator RhoJu's original January 27, 2025 video discusses 21 shades from that earlier point and discloses gifted product. It does not verify October 2026 stock or a current 23-shade Korea launch.

01
Separate Korean 12 from English 23 listings
The official Korean page displays 12 options in 5.5g; the English page displays 23 options in 5.5g. Check the actual market and stock rather than assuming both catalogs are interchangeable. The creator's 2025 video includes 21 historical shades, not a current global inventory list.

02
Compare exact shade names
Korean options include Apple Sorbet, Odd Coral, Chillin' Chillin', Hushed Cherry, Orchid, Rosa, Brulee, Smoked, Petal Punch, Pinky Lowkey, Under Mauve and Butter Bell. Warm/cool labels are brand suggestions, not rules about which skin tones can wear a color.
-
03
Apply a little to comfortable lips
Do not apply over injured or visibly irritated lips. Start with a small amount from the applicator and spread gently from the center. Your natural lip color may change the perceived result; no personal swatch test was performed here.
-
04
Layer shine only as desired
Add a little if you want more gloss, avoiding excess buildup. The brand's '30 seconds' and volume wording are marketing descriptions, not independent clinical claims or wear-time measurements.
-
05
Keep the applicator clean and store properly
Do not share lip applicators; close the cap after use and protect the item from direct light and high heat. The Korean brand warns that emulsion characteristics can lead to pigment separation or color changes. Stop if irritation occurs and avoid damaged skin.

✦ Helpful tips
- 12 on the Korean page and 23 on the English page are site listings, not guaranteed global stock or identical formulations.
- RhoJu's 2025 original disclosed product gifting and should not be treated as a 2026 stock check.
- Choose a shade by the exact product name and your preference, not a universal skin-tone rule.
ⓘ Keep in mind
- Avoid damaged or inflamed lips; stop if redness, itching or irritation develops.
- Do not share applicators; avoid heat and sunlight and store away from children.
- Check ingredients, shades, stock and color presentation for each country separately.
