Rom&nd is a South Korean cosmetic brand that is very popular in Japan and around the world,[2] with one product being celebrated as a cult favorite[3] and described as having Holy Grail status.[4] In 2023, one product won the Olive Young Award for best lip tint, and was noted for being worn by Choi Hye-seon of Single's Inferno season three,[5] while in 2025 the brand as a whole won the top prize in the makeup category at the K-Beauty Icon Awards.[6] Its first global brand ambassador was Hannah Bahng, who created a new makeup line in tandem with the brand at their open office in Seoul.[7]

In March 2024, Rom&nd partnered with Lawson to create a line of mini-size cosmetic products.[8] Later in 2025, Rom&nd opened its first offline store in the Seongsu-dong neighborhood of Seoul.[1]
