Black Rouge Glow Bokki Tint
Get plump, juicy lips with Black Rouge’s Glow Bokki Tint, which looks like you just took a bite of some chewy tteokbokki drenched in flavourful sauce.

These tteokbokki-inspired tints come in 12 shades, sorted into three variations — Original, Rose, and Soy.

The Soy tints are just as you’d imagine them to be—wearable browns and nudes that resemble soy sauce, suitable for everyday wear!
