CLIO

CLIO is a Korean makeup brand that started in 1993 (Clio company) as a professional makeup brand. The name CLIO also refers to the Korean company Clio, which brings together the brands CLIO, Peripera and Goodal. Many people search for the brand as "clio makeup", "clio cosmetics" or "clio make up": it is the same brand.

At Ma Petite Coree, the CLIO selection focuses on makeup: base, eyes, cheeks and lips. You will find mascaras, liners, eyeshadow palettes, a foundation, concealers, a mini cushion, blushes, highlighters, tints and a lip balm, along with products to prep or remove makeup.

Here are the families you will come across most often at Ma Petite Coree:

• Kill Lash: the Kill Lash Superproof Mascara Fine mascara and the Kill Lash Mascara Remover.
• Kill Cover: the Kill Cover High Glow Foundation, concealers such as the Kill Cover Airy Fit Concealer and the Kill Cover Founwear Concealer, and the Kill Cover Mesh Glow Essential Cushion Mini.
• Crystal Glam: the Crystal Glam Tint, its Crystal Glam Tint Royal Edition and the Crystal Glam Balm for the lips.
• Essential: the Essential Lip Cheek Tap, the Essential Lip Cheek Tap Blur and the Essential Blush Tap for cheeks and lips.
• Glazing: the Glazing Prep Base and the Glazing Milky Essence, applied before makeup.
• Pro Eye Palette: the Pro Eye Palette Air and Pro Eye Palette AD palettes.
• Superproof · Sharp So Simple: the Superproof Pen Liner, Superproof Brush Liner and Sharp So Simple Waterproof Pencil Liner liners.

The names tell you the type of product, not the color: always look at the photos and the shade list on the product page before you choose.

Start with what you wear most. If you mostly do your eyes, start with a liner such as the Sharp So Simple Waterproof Pencil Liner or the Superproof Brush Liner, then add a mascara. If you want a base, look at the Kill Cover High Glow Foundation and its concealers. If you like light makeup, a compact for lips and cheeks such as the Essential Lip Cheek Tap already does a lot.

For prep, the Glazing Prep Base and the Glazing Milky Essence both go on before base makeup. According to the label, the essence contains hyaluronic acid and panthenol, and it presents itself as a prep essence with a milky texture.

To pick a color without trying it, compare the photos with products you already like, and keep in mind that a screen can change a color. Cosmetic advice, not medical advice: if your skin is sensitive, test a new product on a small area first.

You can also read the blog article and its Kill Cover and Kill Lash products, or compare with another brand from the same company on the Peripera page. For more Korean makeup, the makeup collection brings all the brands together.

CLIO stands out first through its product families, which have short names that are easy to remember: Kill Lash for mascara, Kill Cover for base, Crystal Glam for lips, Essential for cheeks. On the photos you can also see real work on the packaging: clear compacts, slim bottles, glossy tubes and soft colors.

The selection lets you put together a full look from a single brand: a mascara, liners, concealers and a base. For eyes as much as for base makeup, you can build a makeup routine with just a few products.

For the eyes, the Kill Lash Superproof Mascara Fine mascara is an easy way in: metallic pink tubes, the Fine version, and a Kill Lash Mascara Remover in the same family. If you prefer palettes, the Pro Eye Palette Air and the Muse Master Palette bring several colors together in one case.

For base makeup, the Kill Cover High Glow Foundation comes in a pump bottle, with the Kill Cover Airy Fit Concealer and the Kill Cover Founwear Concealer concealers to go with it. The Kill Cover Mesh Glow Essential Cushion Mini comes in a mini size, handy to carry. For cheeks and lips, the Essential Lip Cheek Tap, the Essential Lip Cheek Tap Blur and the Essential Blush Tap have colorful compacts that are easy to recognize.

For the lips, the Crystal Glam Tint and the Crystal Glam Tint Royal Edition are tints, and the Crystal Glam Balm is a stick balm. The Volume Mate Tint comes in a bottle with an applicator and, going by its name, promises a matte finish.
