LUNA Melted Cheek Balm 2 g: four core shades vs two FINCA editions in five steps

Read LUNA's Korean 2026 six-shade launch accurately, distinguish the FINCA collaboration, and use small amounts hygienically.

SEOJIN's paid-promotional makeup video shows LUNA Melted Cheek Balm around 15:17–15:37; not a full shade test · SEOJIN · original YouTube post / indexed by Skinply

South Korean makeup brand LUNA, owned by Aekyung Industrial, announced Melted Cheek Balm on June 22, 2026. Its four Korean core shades are 01 Milk Beige, 02 Tanning Beige, 03 Mocha Peach and 04 Bunny Pink; the two limited FINCA collaboration variants are F1 Pink Vacation and F2 Orange Homecance. Brand descriptions are not swatches made by our editors. A separate July 8, 2026 Aekyung announcement describes a 2 g balm for Japan; this does not prove that all six Korean shades are currently stocked in every market. The brand's promises about smooth blending and preserving base makeup are promotional, not universal test results. A Korean creator's paid promotional video briefly shows the product, but does not establish shade accuracy or wear time.

  1. 01

    Identify four core shades and two FINCA editions

    The Korean June 2026 brand announcement lists 01 Milk Beige as soft beige, 02 Tanning Beige as muted pearly beige, 03 Mocha Peach as peach with pearl, and 04 Bunny Pink as peachy pearl pink. FINCA F1 Pink Vacation is pastel pink; F2 Orange Homecance is muted coral-brick. These are official color descriptions rather than our own swatches.

  2. 02

    Confirm the label for your country

    Do not infer that every shade listed for Korea is available in Japan, English-language markets or a particular store. Aekyung's July 8 Japan announcement describes a 2 g balm. Check the exact product label, ingredient list, allowed application areas, current shade and shelf life before using it.

  3. 03

    Start with a very small amount on the cheeks

    Wash hands and use a clean fingertip or small makeup brush. Place a tiny amount on the cheek area you wish to color. The brand describes a melting balm that can be layered, but personal blending and staying power vary. The 15:17–15:37 segment of SEOJIN's paid-promotional video is only a brief visual reference.

    Tap the edges and build only if wanted

    To avoid disturbing foundation, try gentle tapping rather than vigorous rubbing. Add another tiny amount only after checking the look. Placement, shade and intensity are personal preferences, not a single Korean beauty ideal.

  5. 05

    Check local directions before using it on lips

    Aekyung's Korean announcement presents this item as usable on cheeks and lips, but follow your actual market's product label. Do not move unclean applicators directly between lips and cheeks. Do not use near the eyes unless the specific local product labeling clearly permits it. Stop if irritated.

✦ Helpful tips

  • The FINCA codes F1/F2 are collaboration shades, not simply more core shade numbers.
  • The Korean launch and Japan announcement refer to different markets; availability and shades can change. No firsthand wear or color tests were performed.

ⓘ Keep in mind

  • Avoid broken or inflamed skin and discontinue use after itching, redness or stinging. Seek professional advice if symptoms persist.
  • A brand's no-base-disruption promise and a sponsored creator clip do not guarantee individual results.
