Get The K-Idol Look With The Peripera x Choigosim Makeup Collection – Now Available in SG
No matter which Korean pop group or actress you stan, one thing is for certain: the world is crazy about all things related to K-beauty. While us mere mortals may not be able to emulate our favourite K-idols’ singing, acting or slick dancing, the good news is that we can always turn to makeup to recreate Bae Suzy’s doe eyes or BLACKPINK Jennie’s plump, kissable lips.

Step 1: It’s all in the eyes

Glittery, shimmery pastels are all the rage this season. With Y2K style making a comeback, Korean stars are combining glitter with light purple hues (Pantone’s 2022 colour of the year) for a sweet yet alluring vibe.
The All Take Mood Technique Palette is a multi-functional palette that can be used for eyeshadow, blush and eyebrow application, as well as contouring. It comes with 12 different shades, comprising matte pinks, shimmery purples, and browns for definition.
To start, sweep a light dusting of ‘Cotton Blush’ or ‘Pink Spell’ all over your eyelids to create your base. Then, apply a matte, dark-tone shadow such as ‘Accentual Depth’ to the outer corners of your eyes and blend it outwards with a fluffy eyeshadow brush to smooth any harsh lines. With your finger, softly press the iridescent ‘Jewel Harp’ shade onto the centre of your eyelids and finally, apply ‘Pushpop Candy’ (a light shimmery shade) at the inner corners of your eyes. We also love how easy it is to use this palette for everyday makeup – no professional makeup skills required!

Most liquid eyeliners are created for upper eyelids but the Ink Thin Thin Brush Liner is specially designed for the under-eye area. Available in two shades (‘Under Rosy’ and ‘Under Beige’), these subtle liners will help to complete your shimmery eye makeup look – or create the innocent “aegyo sal” look that’s popular among K-idols.
Step 2: Seductive, doll-like lashes

Ever heard of ‘idol lashes’? This makeup trend is so popular in Korea that it is adopted by many idols for that sweet, doll-like look. Want Korean idol lashes? Then follow these steps:
First, curl your lashes with an eyelash curler. Then, apply the Ink Black Cara – available in Long Lash Curling, Volume Curling, and Clear-Set Curling – from the root to the tips of your eyelashes. In the final (and most crucial) step, use a pair of tweezers and press your eyelashes together to form several thicker bundles of lashes. Work upwards slowly and carefully from root to tip to distribute the mascara evenly and remove any clumps. The end result? A gorgeous, separated lash effect without any falsies!
Step 3: A soft, sun-kissed glow

K-idols love to wear their blush loud and proud. Youthful blush hues such as pastel pink, lavender and apricot are all the rage – which is why you’ll love the Peripera x Choigosim Pure Blushed Sunshine Cheek. The two shades (‘Prize Pink’ and ‘Pastel Lavender’) give a clean and soft finish to your cheeks, and are also long-lasting so your blush will remain fresh and vibrant even after many hours.
Did you know there are different ways to apply blush, according to your face shape? If you have a round face, give yourself an angular look by applying blush slightly lower down and toward the outer corners of your mouth to make your cheekbones pop. Those with square faces should focus on the apples of the cheeks and blend outward to soften angular contours. Working with a heart-shaped face? Soften your features by applying blush in a ‘C’ shape from the top of your cheeks to above the end of your eyebrows.
Final step: Soft, gradient lips

If there’s one K-beauty trend we all know and love, it’s gradient lips. Also known as ‘popsicle lips’, this two-toned look may appear like a lot of work but can easily be achieved with the right lippie. Our pick? The Ink Mood Glowy Tint, a natural-looking lip tint that comes in two juicy shades: ‘I’m Pinkest’ and ‘Pink Do It’.
To create gradient lips, apply the lighter ‘I’m Pinkest’ (a cool-toned pink hue) all over, and then add ‘Pink Do It’ (a darker rose hue) only to the centre of your top and bottom lips. Use your finger to blend it outwards towards the lighter hue for a soft, diffused look.
So there you have it – an effortless makeup look worthy of any K-idol! Looking like your favourite Korean actress or pop star is easy with the Peripera x Choigosim makeup collection.
