We’ve witnessed a succession of comebacks from different idol groups this year, as K-Pop’s influence and popularity continue to spread worldwide. Each one comes with a new set of albums, merch, brand endorsements, and of course, let’s not forget their mind-blowing music videos that can spark your creativity at any given time.
For girl groups and solo artists, apart from the stunning visuals and dance moves, we also look forward to the hair and makeup looks that their glam team comes up with. And these looks become an instant source of inspiration most especially for makeup artists and beauty aficionados like ourselves!
We’ve compiled four stunning K-Pop makeup combos that you can easily recreate at home whenever you feel the need to amp up your confidence, update your signature look, or even to simply get your day started. Swipe through the gallery below, fellow stans:

K-Pop Makeup Trends
Black Winged Eyeliner + Dark Lips: Jessi "Cold Blooded"
(1/2) This combo screams power! The total opposite of the subtle and soft K-beauty makeup look has been getting more screen time these days as iconic artists, such as Jessi and Lisa, have been sporting this combo in their latest music videos, Cold Blooded and Lalisa.
Black Winged Eyeliner + Dark Lips: Lisa "Lalisa"
(2/2) The trick here is to keep each makeup technique as clean and as minimal a possible so it doesn’t look too overpowering. To achieve darker and longer lasting liner, do the double layer technique. Start off with a black pencil or gel liner and top it with a matte black eyeshadow to set. Use any dark or bold colored lipstick, curl your eyelashes and swipe on mascara, and you’re all set!
Colored Matte Eyeshadow+Glitter & Bling: Hyuna "Ping Pong"
(1/2) This eye makeup trend is something we’ve all seen in numerous K-Pop music videos. The sparkles and shimmer are staples that a K-Pop music video won’t be complete without it. As with any other makeup pairings, balance is key.
Colored Matte Eyeshadow+Glitter & Bling: Luna "Madonna"
(2/2) Matte eyeshadow as base gives contrast to the glitters to make it pop. Just make sure to keep the rest of your skin mattified or a little less dewy so it doesn’t take the focus off of your stunning eye makeup.
Colored+Black Graphic Liners: CL "Lover Like Me"
Ah, the most adventurous of all the looks! This liner-on-liner technique gives a fresh new twist to the classic black winged liner. To achieve this, draw your black liner as sharp as possible first then add the colored liner above it or anywhere on your eyelid as an accent.
Colored+Black Graphic Liners: ITZY "Loco"
Colored+Black Graphic Liners: Red Velvet "Queendom"
Colored+Black Graphic Liners: StayC "Stereotype"
Mochi Skin+Monochromatic Eyes-Lips-Cheeks: Mamamoo "Mumumumuch"
(1/3) Undeniably the most wearable among the four, this mochi skin and monochromatic makeup combo is easily the go-to technique for anyone who’s aiming to look naturally blooming throughout the day.
Mochi Skin+Monochromatic Eyes-Lips-Cheeks: Twice "The Feels"
(2/3) In case you haven’t heard of the mochi skin, it’s almost the same as the glass skin when it comes to hydration, bounciness, and over-all skin texture but with a matte finish. It’s also the perfect base for anyone who isn’t comfortable with the extra glow that the dewy skin gives.
Mochi Skin+Monochromatic Eyes-Lips-Cheeks: BLACKPINK "Dear Earth Special"
(3/3) To complement the mochi skin and to also achieve the subtle yet healthy look, swipe on a multi-use product on your eyes, cheeks, and lips. Cream or liquid products work best for this look as it doesn’t leave the skin looking too powdery.
