Kim Ji-yoon is emerging as beauty’s newest IT girl.

A youthful-looking mother of two, Kim first caught public attention through the childcare variety programme Trio’s Childcare Challenge. The former flight attendant has since cultivated a loyal following by sharing fashion and beauty content across platforms including REDnote and Instagram, where she has amassed more than 574,000 followers.

Here are some of BLACKPINK Jisoo’s “unnie”, Kim Ji-yoon’s, beauty favourites and recommendations.

Miu Miu Miutine

Dreamt up by perfumer Dominique Ropion, this floral-fruity gourmand fragrance channels the playful spirit of the “Miu Miu girl”. It opens with bold strawberry notes before settling into a sweeter blend of gardenia, brown sugar, vanilla and patchouli oil.

Banila Co Ultimate White Cushion

Ji-yoon revealed that her “skin cheat code” is layering the brand’s Dew Boost Makeup Serum beneath the newly reformulated White Cushion. The updated formula features an expanded shade range and skin-loving ingredients designed to help makeup glide on more smoothly while leaving the complexion looking brighter and clearer.

Nuse Care Liptual in 03 Reddish Huh

The influencer credits the glossy tint for enhancing her naturally full pout. Her favourite shade, 03 Reddish Huh, delivers a glass-like shine. She pairs it with the Nuse Liquid Care Cheek in 04 Poppy Breeze, a coral cream blush with a lightweight, watery-essence texture.

Neutrogena Deep Clean Foaming Cleanser

A self-proclaimed makeup enthusiast, Ji-yoon relies on this foaming cleanser to keep breakouts at bay. The formula is designed to deeply cleanse pores and remove impurities without leaving skin feeling stripped.

Guerlain Allegoria Mandarine Basilic Hand Cream

Her go-to hand cream is enriched with nourishing beeswax butter and infused with sparkling mandarin and basil notes for a fresh, uplifting scent.

Maison Margiela Replica Lazy Sunday Morning Eau de Toilette

In keeping with her clean girl aesthetic, Ji-yoon gravitates towards soft “second-skin” scents. This fragrance blends lily of the valley and iris with powdery white musk for a fresh, comforting finish.

AP Beauty Rejuvenating Booster Shot M.D. Serum

Ji-yoon attributes her radiant complexion to a consistent skincare routine centred around hydration and repair. She praised this serum, which combines PDRN and hyaluronic acid, for absorbing quickly without stickiness, adding that she noticed visible improvements within four weeks.

Banobagi PDRN Skin Care Set

The skincare trio includes a full-sized PDRN Lifting Ampoule and PDRN 1000 Anti-Ageing Cream, along with travel-sized versions of both. Powered by a bio-PDRN complex derived from banana sugar spots, the range is formulated to support skin regeneration and elasticity. The formulas also contain hydrolysed collagen, tripeptides, caffeine, ectoin and hyaluronic acid to smooth fine lines, depuff and lock in moisture.
