Since IU just released her new digital single "Eight," let's celebrate her musical comeback by looking back at her role in the hit drama, "Hotel Del Luna," where she played the main character as Hotel Del Luna's owner and CEO, Jang Manwol. IU looked especially fancy and elegant throughout the drama, so if you want to recreate or have a similar look to CEO Manwol, look no further! We prepared a list of makeup items for you to try and achieve her sophisticated look!
Risabae, a popular makeup artist, recreated IU's makeup look, and the following are the products and steps to guide you.
After preparing your face and applying your favorite primer, you can go ahead and use LANEIGE's New2016 BB Cushion as your base product. This will even out your skin tone and cover those stubborn pores, resulting in a flawless semi-matte finish without erasing your natural beauty marks. This base is perfect since IU's makeup gives her that porcelain finish but still shows the mole on her cheek.
Etude House Big Cover Skin Fit PRO
However, if you're still not content with the coverage of a BB cushion, just grab Etude House's Big Cover Skin Fit PRO to conceal and blend your skin's imperfections. This holy-grail item has been a crowd favorite due to its formula and texture, which is not too dense nor too liquidy.
Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder
Don't forget to lock your base and concealer with Innisfree's No Sebum Mineral Powder! Focus on the parts of your face that easily gets oily or touched. This product will keep your makeup intact and fresh throughout the day, with minimum touch-ups required.
Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil
Another crowd-favorite is Precisely, My Brow Pencil by Benefit Cosmetics due to its user-easy and friendly application that even a beginner can draw their eyebrows as a pro beauty guru could. Note that Jang Manwol's eyebrows are drawn straight with just a soft arch at the end!
Noticeably, IU's eye makes up is considerably warm and soft compared to her chic and cold gaze in Hotel Del Luna. Use the Multi Eye Color Palette in Beach Muse by 3CE to achieve the same look! This palette has all the necessary matte and transition shades as well as glittering and shining shades, which you can apply in the inner corner of your eye.
CLIO's Waterproof Pen Liner in Kill Brown will complete the eye makeup. Simply draw a drooping and declining line at the edge instead of a cat-eye to mimic that of IU's look.
ETUDE HOUSE Lovely Cookie Blusher
Add some life to those pale cheeks by swiping on Etude House's Lovely Cookie Blusher in #2 Strawberry Chou, this cool tone blush that will not contrast with the rest of the makeup look.
Last but definitely not the least is Jang Manwiol's signature red lip. PERIPERA's Ink The Velvet in 001 Sellout Red matches well with the actual lip product that IU's makeup stylist used. You also have the option to add a little gloss on top of it or to retain its matte finish.
