ETUDE PLAY 101 at Korea's Daiso in 2026: five tint, brow and cushion checks
Decode four Dewy Tok Tint shades, three Soft Browcara colors and two cushions from Daiso's dated March 2026 Korean listing—without treating old prices as today's stock.
ETUDE, a Korean makeup brand, introduced its Daiso-focused PLAY 101 line in 2025. On March 4, 2026, Korean retailer Daiso published a new-product video page naming shades, Korean item codes and prices for tint, eyebrow and base products. These are **the retailer's March 2026 listings**, not proof of October 2026 stock, identical formulas abroad or actual color results. Here are five checks to distinguish the products without needing to buy everything.

01
1. Separate the 2025 launch from March 2026 listings
PLAY 101 was introduced for Korean Daiso in February 2025, while this retailer product bulletin is dated March 4, 2026. Do not confuse the initial 25-product launch with the number of colors in the later update. Check current Korean store or online stock using the item code before buying.

2. Match four Dewy Tok Tint shades to their item codes
Daiso lists 01 Berry Tangle Tok (1075944), 02 Pink Mongle Tok (1075945), 03 Salmon Banjjak Tok (1075946) and 04 Aengdu Mallang Tok (1075947), priced at KRW 3,000 each on the March page. English renderings of shade names are explanatory transliterations, not confirmed export labels. Names cannot verify a real lip swatch or how a shade will look on your skin.

3. Tell brow mascara apart from brow pencils
The March Korean listing shows Soft Browcara in Pink Brown, Taupe Gray and Natural Brown at KRW 5,000, and Slim Eyebrow Pencil in Soft Brown, Deep Taupe and Milk Tea Brown at KRW 3,000. A pencil can address gaps while a brow mascara is intended for brow hair; follow the exact package directions, not a generic promise of results.

4. Identify base and eye products separately
The page lists Slim Layered Cushion in 01 Light Beige (1075959) and 02 Medium Beige (1075960), with a March listed price of KRW 5,000 each. It also lists a distinct Edge Curl Tint Mascara. Similar-sounding color names do not make eye, lip and complexion products interchangeable. This source does not independently establish a cushion SPF rating.

5. Check current labels, hygiene and country of sale
The US FDA advises against sharing eye cosmetics and recommends clean applicators and hands. Stop using eye products if irritation develops. Check today's Korean package for ingredients, expiry and directions. Do not assume Daiso Korea's item codes, lineup or historical prices apply in Japan or another market.

✦ Helpful tips
- This is a Daiso-hosted official retailer product video, not a firsthand performance or wear test.
- Item codes are useful for distinguishing products, but they do not guarantee inventory or identical packaging after March 2026.
ⓘ Keep in mind
- Use cosmetics only on the intended body area: never transfer lip tint to the eyes or eye products to lips. Stop use if eye irritation or inflammation occurs.
- Color suitability, allergy risk and product performance cannot be inferred from promotional shade names. Follow the label for the country where you buy.
