Buying guide

MERYTHOD makeup: a buying guide to the mascaras and color range

MERYTHOD is a Korean color-makeup brand, and its grid leans heaviest on eyes: the Lilongkara mascara line shows up in several lengths and a washable version. Around the lashes sit a highlighter, a contour stick, a tint, a setting spray, and the brushes to apply them. This guide walks through what is in the assortment, which products do what, and how to put a full MERYTHOD face together.

What MERYTHOD is about

MERYTHOD is a Korean makeup brand focused on color and lashes rather than skincare. The grid is mostly eye and face makeup built for long wear, the kind of products meant to hold up through a humid day and still come off cleanly at night. If you are coming to the brand for the first time, the mascaras are the anchor of the range and the rest of the line is built to sit around them.

The Lilongkara mascara line

The heart of the grid is the mascara line, which comes in a few forms: a regular version, a Skinny version at 3.2g for fine, precise lashes, and a Washable version for easy removal. The skinny brush is the one to reach for if you want to coat short lower lashes or inner corners without clumping, while the standard wand builds more length and volume. The washable option is worth choosing if you dislike scrubbing at the end of the day, since it lifts off with warm water rather than a heavy remover.

How to choose between the mascara versions

Pick the version by lash goal. The skinny brush keeps lower lashes and inner corners precise and separated, so reach for it when you want defined, tidy lashes. The standard wand carries more product for length and a fuller fringe. The washable formula is the gentle pick for sensitive eyes or anyone who dislikes scrubbing off makeup at night. Many people keep two, a fuller wand for the top lashes and a skinny one for detail, since the small tubes make it easy to own more than one.

Aurora highlighter

The Aurora highlighter is a 7g face product for adding a glow to the high points of the face, the tops of the cheeks, the brow bone, and the bridge of the nose. A highlighter is the step that catches light and gives a look some dimension after base makeup, and an aurora-style finish leans toward a soft, multi-tone shimmer rather than a hard metallic streak. Use a light hand and a small brush so it reads as a sheen instead of a stripe.

Contour stick and tint

For shaping and color, the grid carries a Double Contour Stick and the Blingchubam tint. The double-ended contour stick gives you two tones in one tool to define the cheekbones, jaw, and hairline, and a stick format is the forgiving way to contour because you draw and blend with the same tool. The tint adds color and a little shine on the lips. Together they cover the warm-up and finish around the eyes, so a MERYTHOD look does not stop at mascara.

Makeup Fixer setting spray

The Makeup Fixer is a 75ml setting spray that goes on as the last step to lock a look in place. A setting spray is what keeps color from sliding or fading over a long, warm day, which matters most when you have layered mascara, highlighter, and contour and want them to stay put. Hold it at arm's length, mist a couple of light passes over the finished face, and let it dry. It is the small step that makes the rest of the MERYTHOD products last.

Brushes and tools

MERYTHOD also makes its own application tools, including a set of four soft pad brushes. Soft pad applicators are handy for pressing on highlighter or eye color and patting it into place rather than sweeping it around, which gives a more controlled, blended result. If you are buying the highlighter or a tint, adding the brushes means you have the right tool to apply them the way they are designed for, instead of borrowing whatever is in your bag.

Putting a MERYTHOD look together

A full MERYTHOD face is easy to sequence: shape with the contour stick over your base, add glow with the Aurora highlighter, coat lashes with the mascara that fits the look, add color with the tint, then set everything with the Makeup Fixer. Because most of these are long-wear and travel-sized, you can carry the mascara and tint for touch-ups and keep the fixer and brushes at home. Building the look within one brand keeps the finishes consistent.

Authenticity and Korean sourcing

Every MERYTHOD item in this grid is sourced as authentic Korean stock, the same color makeup sold in Korea. Korean makeup tends to favor long wear and a natural, glowy finish, and this range follows that, which is part of why the mascaras and the fixer are built for a full day. Buying the eye, face, and finishing products together gives you a matched MERYTHOD kit rather than a mix of brands with different finishes.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • MERYTHOD is a Korean color-makeup brand, not a skincare line. The grid here is mostly eye and face makeup: the Lilongkara mascaras, the Aurora highlighter, a double contour stick, the Blingchubam tint, a Makeup Fixer setting spray, and soft pad brushes. Most of it is built for long, all-day wear.

  • It depends on the lash look. The Skinny version at 3.2g has a fine brush for precise lower lashes and inner corners, the standard version builds more length and volume, and the Washable version lifts off with warm water for easy removal. People with sensitive eyes or who hate scrubbing often go for the washable one, while those wanting a fuller fringe pick the standard wand.

  • The Washable Lilongkara is the one made for easy removal, lifting off with warm water instead of a heavy eye-makeup remover. The standard mascara is built more for staying power through a long day, so it needs a proper cleanse at night. If gentle removal is your priority, choose the washable version.

  • Apply the Aurora highlighter to the high points of the face, the tops of the cheeks, the brow bone, and the bridge of the nose, after your base makeup. Use a light hand and a small brush so it reads as a soft sheen rather than a hard stripe. Its aurora finish leans toward a multi-tone shimmer, so a little goes a long way.

  • The Double Contour Stick gives you two tones in one tool, so you can draw shadow along the cheekbones, jaw, and hairline and blend with the same stick. A stick is the forgiving way to contour because you apply and blend in one step. Keep the lines soft and build the depth gradually rather than drawing them on heavy.

  • The Makeup Fixer is a 75ml setting spray that locks your look in place as the final step. It helps color stay put through a long, warm day instead of sliding or fading, which matters most once you have layered mascara, highlighter, and contour. Mist a couple of light passes at arm's length over the finished face and let it dry.

  • The four soft pad brushes are handy for pressing on highlighter or eye color and patting it into place, which gives a more controlled, blended result than sweeping it on. They are not required, but if you buy the Aurora highlighter or a tint, the matching applicators are an easy way to apply them as designed rather than using whatever is in your bag.

  • Yes. Every MERYTHOD item we list is sourced as authentic Korean stock, the same color makeup sold in Korea. Korean makeup tends to favor long wear and a natural, glowy finish, which is why the mascaras and the fixer hold up through a full day. Buying the eye, face, and finishing pieces together gives you a matched kit instead of a mix of brands.
