Dying to know all the deets of Addison Rae’s perfect pink look? Lucky for us, MUA Nina Park has spilt the tea on the exact products used on the “Fame is a Gun” songstress, featuring a medley of CLIO hits: the Pro Eye Palette Air in 03 Mute Library for a sleek cool-toned eye, the Essential Lipcheek Tap in 02 Bunny Blush that totally captures the bunny tongue shade to a tee, and the Crystal Glam Tint in 01 Vintage Apple, dabbed onto the lips for a ‘just-kissed’ blurred effect.

Part of Ariana Grande’s angelic appeal comes from her ethereal glow, and it’s down to the bright complexion that can be achieved with an illuminating powder like the CANMAKE Marshmallow FInish Powder Abloom SPF19 PA++. Her makeup look includes a wine-toned eyeliner that’s blurred and dreamy rather than ultra-precise, and the Cheeryep 16-Color Natural Star Eye Shadow Palette in 12 Admiring contains everything you need to try it out for yourself. Finish the routine with the JUNGSAEMMOOL Lip-Pression Metal Serum Gloss, a demure nude shade that ties it all together.

Glass skin? Check. Heart-wrenching pink hues? Double check. KATEYE’s Yoonchae delivers a Galentine’s Day-worthy look that the besties will undoubtedly appreciate. Yoonchae’s skin is flawlessly glowing, a finish the Fwee Cushion Glass Natural SPF50+ PA+++ captures. Pair it with a gleaming pink cheek, courtesy of the CLIO Essential Blush Tap in S204 Hyper Love, and a candy-pink glazed lip, thanks to the peripera Ink Glasting Lip Gloss in 013 Get Happy, and your MOTD celebrating the season of love is complete.

Pop princess Sabrina Carpenter’s Brits 2025 red carpet look is the epitome of date night romance, complete with luminous eyes and a heated flush like you just got complimented by your crush. Get the look for yourself with the BBIA Last Auto Gel Eyeliner in 11 Linen Beige, swiped onto the lower lashline for an eye-opening look, plus the hemish Dailism Smudege Stop Mascara Black Volume to lock in the bambi effect and the peripera Pure Blushed Sunshine Cheek in 28 Romantic Rose–a fitting shade name for the occasion, don’t you think?

AESPA’s Winter

The first thing we notice about Winter’s makeup look is the blinding highlight; a jelly highlighter like the Fwee Lip & Cheek Glowy Jelly Po in JH00 Sugar Powder nails the effect as it melts into the skin without any harsh edges. The eyes can be defined with a sharp liner like the Judydoll Slim Liquid Eyeliner (a VANA Award winner!), coupled with a pouty reflective sheen that Romand’s The Juicy Lasting Tint in 09 Mulled Peach provides.
