LAKA

LAKA is a Korean beauty brand that's been getting attention for its Mono Eyeshadows — single shadows with a wet, glossy sparkle effect and sheer base pigments that work as toppers or soft washes. The formula has a plush, slightly dry texture that adheres well to the eyes, and fans say the quality punches above the price point. The Bonding Glow Lipstick and Stain Lip Liner also show up in conversation, but the lip liner has a trade-off: it's creamy and blendable but fades quickly, so it's better as a standard liner than a long-lasting stain.
