Kim Jennie Beauty Tips : Cop Her Look

During the past few years, a K-pop girl group has been generating all the hype on social media and you’ve probably already guessed who they are: Blackpink! Their music has been garnering international recognition and also the girls have simultaneously been grabbing curious attention for his or her radiant, youthful looks. In several interviews and on variety shows, the women have revealed some precious tips they follow for his or her flawless complexions.

However, whether it’s her smile or her cherub-like countenance, there’s something beguiling about one of it’s member which is Jennie Kim that goes beyond simply being a pretty face. With a claim to fame as one-fourth of K-pop’s hottest girl group, and being a muse to the house of Chanel, the singer’s star is rising faster than you can say hallyu takeover. And with her burgeoning A-list status comes a legion of fans stealing her style, which includes the ingénue makeup look she sports more often than not. Want to try your hand at re-creating her fresh-faced flawlessness and awesomeness? Here’s how you can have some Jennie beauty tips.

FACE

You’ll want your skin to appear like skin so as to mimic Jennie’s fresh complexion. Though if you’re endowed good skin, that’s already half the battle won (lucky, lucky you). For the remainder folks with but stellar genetics, you’d desire a lightweight base layered over a decent brightening or blurring face primer to fake that ‘no-foundation foundation’ look. Giorgio Armani’s Luminous Silk Foundation and cult fave Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua are fab for achieving that second-skin finish.

Skip the powder aside from a light-weight dusting on the areas which will get oily, and even then, use one that’s finely-milled to avoid the powder creasing or settling into fine lines or pores because the day wears on. Tap the lightest touch of blush on the apples of your cheeks, and you’re good to travel.

EYES

Put away your colourful eyeshadow palettes because the K-pop idol almost never wears any. At most, she uses natural or nude-toned shades to give her peepers more depth. The real deal is her eyeliner, drawn close to her lash line and ending in just the slightest flick to elongate and enhance the shape of her eyes. Also, getting in some practice to tailor the line to your own eye shape might be required, especially if you’re pants at drawing eyeliner. Finish with generous coats of mascara on curled eyelashes and hello, bambi eyes.

LIPS

From MLBB to fire engine red and everything else in between, she rocks a variety of lip shades and looks darn good while she’s at it. But the trick to acing Jennie’s rosebud-like pout isn’t the colour but the technique. Keen eyes will notice that the edges of her lipstick tend to be softened out, resulting in a lippie that looks almost melted on. To do so, you’ll want to lay down your colour along the inner lip, then spread the pigment out using gentle tapping motions with your ring finger until you’ve got that just bitten, velvety texture.

Additionally, we have added some makeup tips as well that you might want to know to have the Jennie Kim look.

1. Apply foundation only on the T-zone for a natural look.

Blackpink’s makeup artist, Myungsun recommends focusing coverage on your T-zone, where we tend to get the most discoloration, to create a minimal base. This will immediately brighten the center of the face and give you a natural contour.

2. Mix your foundation with oil or petroleum jelly for a glowy finish.

The secret to the dewy skin look Blackpink’s Jennie have in music videos is mixing foundation with either oil or petroleum jelly. Apply the concoction to the high points of the face to keep the skin glowy but not greasy.

3. Create makeshift “lash curling irons” with wooden cotton buds.

Straight, Asian lashes are difficult to curl even with the best tools. That’s why after curling with a regular eyelash curler, you need to heat up a pair of wooden cotton buds with a lighter and uses it to lift the hairs like a DIY iron.

4. Contour with products two shades darker than your skin tone.

A natural contour can be done by using a product two shades darker than your skin tone. It’s also important that it doesn’t have any reddish tones that could make the contour appear muddy.

5. Apply foundation on your lips to enhance a nude lip color.

Neutralizing the color of your lips with foundation or concealer can create a base for your nude lipstick that will make the color stand out.
