How to recreate Blackpink’s Jennie’s wide-eyed, innocent-style makeup

To recreate the innocent style of makeup that Jennie wears, you have to first choose the right shades. Cool tone eyeshadows and lip colours that have blue or purple hues are all out. A peachy or light coral is the colour of choice as it can make you look wide-eyed, fresh and natural.

While many makeup looks put the eyebrows on heavy emphasis, the natural makeup camp is the opposite. The rule here is to create a soft, barely-there eyebrow look without obvious arches.

Natural makeup eschews contouring and highlighting. Instead, a broad placement of colour across the face is used to create a soft effect. When you are applying blush, start from below the centre of the eyes and brush horizontally across your cheeks. For eyeshadow, use a similar shade (or the same blush) to create an easy monochromatic look.

Finally, juicy and full-looking lips are necessary to complete a natural makeup look. Because of the grounded nature of the natural look, you don’t need to pay attention to highlighting the contours of the lips when applying lipstick. On the contrary, you want to create smooth lips absent of lines. We recommend using a moisturising lipstick (and not a lip gloss) to achieve the finish.
