CLIO
Mid-Range“Express yours.”
CLIO is one of Korea's original professional makeup brands, founded in 1993 by Han Hyun-ok in Seoul. The line began as a pro-artist label and grew into a mass-prestige powerhouse that now anchors a portfolio including Peripera (launched 2005) and Goodal — collectively one of the most influential K-beauty groups exporting into the US.
The brand is best known for the Kill Cover Cushion foundation franchise, the Kill Brow series, the Pro Eye Palette range, and the Kill Lash mascara — all built around long-wear performance under hot, humid conditions. CLIO expanded into Ulta Beauty and Amazon in the US, leaning into a polished, trust-driven positioning that contrasts with the playful tone of its sister brand Peripera.
