Today, July 13, marks the big day for GFriend. The KPop girl group is finally returning to the spotlight with a brand new album Song of the Sirens. But of course, we’re already eyeing for all the summer makeup trends spotted in all their teaser photos. You may remember in early July that GFriend has blessed the K Beauty world with a series of concept images. What does this mean exactly for us? Well, that means GFriend demonstrates the summer makeup trends in a Kpop style. Not only 1 summer makeup look but 4. Can you believe it?

Summer Makeup Look #1

My Lips But Better (MLBB)

GFriend Yuju’s summer makeup look for Song of the Sirens album 2020

Although bold red, coral pink and hot pink lipsticks are trending for an occasion-appropriate makeup look, GFriend demonstrates the opposite for Korean makeup — the ‘My lips but better’ summer makeup look. We’re taking notes from GFriend’s Yuju for a swipe of natural colored lip gloss for the perfect summer-ready Kpop style. Among all formulas of lip products, we recommend a lip tint or lip gloss for the perfect K Beauty “My Lips But Better” summer makeup look.

Stylevana’s K Beauty Tips for Summer Makeup Looks:

• Start by looking at your skin tone and don’t forget about your undertone
• Pick the right nude lip gloss shade for a perfect balance of warm and cold
• Choose a lip gloss tint that boasts a high-shine finish

Summer Makeup Look #2

Coral Pink Eyeshadow

GFriend Umji’s summer makeup look for Song of the Sirens album 2020

Long live the coral pink! With the Living Coral obviously favoring the lips and nails more, the Pantone color 2020 Coral Pink has made its move to the eye lids for the perfect summer makeup look. We have said it multiple times — the coral color is a wear-anywhere and any occasion-appropriate kind of color which makes it the perfect option for your eyeshadow look. How does GFriend master this popular color in a Kpop style? GFriend’s Umji chooses to wear the makeup look full on. Instead of wearing a light wash of this summer makeup trend, GFriend’s Umji has the Coral Pink shade layered and built up on her lids for the perfect summer makeup look.

Stylevana’s K Beauty Tips for Summer Makeup Looks:

• Wear full-on Coral Pink eyeshadow to create a volumized eye look
• Layer and build up the Coral Pink on your lids for the perfect drama

Summer Makeup Look #3

The Brighter the Blush, the Better.

GFriend Sowon’s summer makeup look for Song of the Sirens album 2020

Blush may not be the must-have product for most makeup looks, but you may want to think over it again after you see how GFriend’s members unapologetically wear the bright blush over the apple of their cheeks. The bright blush Korean makeup look that GFriend has demonstrated could be a close cousin to the popular ‘hangover’ Kpop makeup look — but also an alternative for your summer makeup dreams. Instead of having the blush going over the nose bridge this time, GFriend’s Sowon has the blush blending high up to the temple matching with a tonal eyeshadow to amplify the K Beauty effect for the summer makeup look.

Stylevana’s K Beauty Tips for Summer Makeup Looks:

• Bright blush makeup look could be a close cousin to the ‘hangover’ makeup look
• Blend the Bright blush up to the temple and match with a tonal eyeshadow

Summer Makeup Look #4

Sexy, Smudgy Eyeliner

GFriend Yuju’s summer makeup look for Song of the Sirens album 2020

Say goodbye to precision! What you will hear from us next would sound a little bit contrary to the precise, always-perfect Kpop makeup look that we are familiar with. The makeup look GFriend praises this summer is smudged kohl eyeliner. Of course, we are not smudging our eyeliner with our palms like what GFriend’s Yuju does in her concept photo. We trace our upper lashes just like how we usually would and smudge the kohl line at the outer corner using the cotton swab to master this sexy Korean summer makeup look.

Stylevana’s K Beauty Tips for Summer Makeup Looks:

• Trace your upper lashes with a gel eyeliner or a pencil eyeliner just like how you usually would
• Use a cotton swab to gently smudge away your eyeliner at the outer corner for a slightly smokey effect
