ESPOIR FAQ
Everything you need to know about Amorepacific’s pro K-beauty makeup.
Which ESPOIR product should I start with?
The Pro Tailor Be Velvet Cushion is ESPOIR’s absolute icon — velvet matte finish, buildable coverage, 24-hour wear. It’s the brand’s historic bestseller, chosen by makeup artists. For lips, the Bare Glow Lip Balm.
Be Velvet Cushion vs Glass Cushion?
Pro Tailor Be Velvet Cushion: velvet matte finish, buildable coverage, ideal for combination/oily skin, 24-hour wear. Pro Tailor Glass Cushion: glass dewy finish, radiant skin, ideal for normal to dry skin. One is pro matte, the other pro glow.
Which ESPOIR cushion shade should I choose?
The range covers shades 21N Ivory, 23N Natural Beige, and deeper tones depending on releases. 21N for light neutral skin, 23N for light to medium skin. Check the undertone (N = neutral, W = warm) when purchasing.
Does ESPOIR belong to Amorepacific?
Yes. ESPOIR is one of the brands under the Amorepacific group (Sulwhasoo, Laneige, Innisfree, ETUDE). This explains the solid R&D and professional consistency of the formulas — Amorepacific is the leading Korean cosmetics group.
Is the Bare Glow Lip Balm more of a balm or a lipstick?
Both: a hybrid balm care-tint. Comfortable like a nourishing balm, but tinted with real subtle pigmentation. Perfect for the Korean "plump but natural lips" look, without the heaviness of a classic lipstick.
Are the ESPOIR products on Ma Petite Corée authentic?
Yes, 100%. Ma Petite Corée has been based in Seoul since 2017 and sources directly. Each product is new, sealed, and shipped from Korea, with no customs fees charged to you in the EU.
