Want to become a ‘mature woman’? Chungha, Jihyo, and Kim Ji-won’s makeup has the answer
If you are in your 20s or 30s and want to look like a ‘mature woman’, pay attention. This is not about suddenly wearing heavy makeup or making yourself look older. Instead, it is about pulling back slightly from youthful details that dominated makeup trends for a while, such as milky blush and sharply lifted lashes, and embracing an aesthetic that balances definition across the eyes, brows, and lips. As calm colors become more appealing in fall, we selected details worth referencing from celebrity makeup looks that naturally make people say, ‘She has such an elegant older sister vibe.’
Chungha’s makeup, where subtlety is the weapon
Chungha’s makeup captures attention without highlighter or vivid color combinations, and its key lies in subtlety. Her lashes are clearly emphasized, but the base is kept matte, while glow is added only lightly to the inner corners of the eyes and the bridge of the nose. The lips also balance color and volume with a natural pink tone that enhances her original complexion, finished with gloss. The finishing touch of this look is the hair. Forward curls that tuck inward toward the jaw are placed around the front of the face, while the rest of the long hair is styled with large curls.
The highly polished beauty look suggested by Jihyo
Jihyo’s makeup, recently shown at a beauty event, stands out through small details. After neatly sweeping her hair back, she left only one strand of bangs falling along the jawline to naturally frame it. Another feature is the unified look created by matching her brown hair and brow color. She avoided overusing color makeup, applied a thin layer of rosy pink blush, and added a small highlight around the eyes to fill in any emptiness.
The reason the mood comes through even though none of the brows, eyes, or cheeks are unusually intense is thanks to the carefully arranged details. If you want to create a ‘mature woman’ mood like Jihyo, try fine-tuning the color of your hair and brows, as well as the overall shading and tones of your makeup.
Kim Ji-won’s makeup with a luxurious mood
Kim Ji-won cannot be left out as a symbol of mature feminine makeup. Her look is defined by naturally styled hair and clear facial features that stand out over clean skin. In particular, it excludes details that make the eyes look artificially larger, such as lenses or thick eyeliner.
Highlighter is added only where needed, such as the tip of the nose, above the cupid’s bow, and the aegyo-sal area, creating shine in just the right places. Blush is applied to look as if a natural flush is rising from within the skin. The key is to use a color very lightly that is closer to the natural skin tone rather than a milky shade. When paired with a hairstyle featuring large, natural curls, the luxurious mood is complete.
Lee Si-an’s makeup with a clear and soft impression
Lee Si-an’s makeup gives a slightly clearer and softer impression. Like the other celebrities, the skin is expressed in a matte and milky way, creating a soft, powdery finish as if fine facial hair might be visible. While the color on the cheeks and lips is pared back as much as possible, the aegyo-sal is softly brightened, and the lashes are lifted clearly to add vitality.
The shape of the brows is especially important. Rather than a straight brow that can look youthful, a semi-arched brow with a gently rising arch is recommended. This is because it maximizes a soft and refined impression. Milky skin, soft aegyo-sal, and semi-arched brows are the best textbook for creating a mature mood.
