IPKN

IPKN is a Korean makeup brand. Its Korean site shows a Seoul address and a Korean company number for Inel Cosmetics, and presents IPKN as one of that company's brands. On some accessories, such as the puff of the Personal Tone Correcting Powder (Green), the logo reads IPKN&.

At Ma Petite Coree, the IPKN selection covers lips, face, cheeks, eyes and brows, along with a foaming cleanser. If you want to put together a full Korean makeup look without juggling several brands, it is a name worth browsing.

Ma Petite Coree groups the products here by name, based on their titles. Tonewear groups the Tonewear Tinted Tone-Up Base and the Tonewear Primer Pact, with the Tone Wear Tinted Base written in a similar way. Skin Finish groups the Skin Finish Cover Concealer and the Skin Finish Powder Pact, sold with a refill according to its title. Personal groups the Personal Tone Correcting Powder (Green) and Personal Tone Correcting Powder (Lavender), the Personal Mood Palette Plain Summer & Winter and the Personal Mood Layering Blusher. Flap One groups the Flap One Single Highlighter, the Flap One Cheek Palette and the Flapone Muse Under Eye Pointer. Easy Drawing groups the Easy Drawing Slim Pencil Eyeliner and the Easy Drawing Slim Pencil Eyebrow.

On the skincare side, the Green Apple Vegan Cleansing Foam is a 150 ml cleansing foam in a tube according to its title. Its packaging says Vegan, according to the brand.

If you want to even out your complexion, start with a tinted base or a foundation, then add a powder. If you want to correct before makeup, the Personal Tone Correcting Powder (Green) and the Personal Tone Correcting Powder (Lavender) each come in their own colour, Green and Lavender. If you only want a small touch of colour, a blusher or a tint is enough.

For sun protection, check the product page: some titles in the IPKN selection state an SPF, others do not. These products are still makeup and do not replace a dedicated sun care product. Cosmetic advice, not medical advice.

Hesitating between two textures? Compare the photos on each page and reread the titles: that is the most reliable way to choose.

You can also compare with other Korean makeup brands such as Peripera, Clio or Romand.

What stands out when you browse the selection is the variety of formats: loose powders in jars with their puffs, pressed powders in compact cases, tinted bases in egg-shaped bottles, square palettes for the cheeks, and slim pencils for the eyes and brows. The product shots are neat and names repeat from one product to the next, which helps you see what belongs together.

We do not repeat any wear-time or performance claim here that we cannot check. For ingredients, size and shades, read the label and the page of each product.

For lips, look at the Bubble Jam Gloss, the Fluffy Lip Pencil and the Puffy Glow Tint. For the face, the Tonewear Tinted Tone-Up Base, the Clear Fit Foundation SPF45, the Skin Finish Powder Pact and the Perfume Powder 12.5 Pack are natural starting points. For eyes, there is the Personal Mood Palette Plain Summer & Winter and the Flapone Muse Under Eye Pointer. To define eyes and brows, the Easy Drawing Slim Pencil Eyeliner and the Easy Drawing Slim Pencil Eyebrow. To shape the face, the Latte in the Mood Contouring and the Flap One Single Highlighter.

We do not rank these products: they are simply the ones we suggest looking at first to get a feel for the brand.
