This summer, Wonjungyo is launching a cosmetics line in collaboration with the TV anime "Oshi no Ko," enabling easy replication of makeup styles reminiscent of "Korean idols." Wonjungyo, known for its popular and effortless makeup products, is dressing up its classic loose powder and glitter liner in limited edition packaging inspired by the main character "Ai."
The "Fixing Blur Powder OS" is a popular loose powder that covers pores and unevenness with a soft texture, leading to smooth skin. The addition of moisturizing ingredients also creates a moist veil, finishing the makeup with a touch of moisture. It comes in two shades: "01 Plain Pink" and "02 Plain Beige," each featuring different expressions of "Ai" on the packaging. The cosmetic box also has a special "Oshi no Ko" design, adorned with a rabbit, a nod to Ai's hair ornament.
The sparkling "Diamond Liner" glitter liner comes in a limited color inspired by "Ai's" eyes. The silver pearl-infused purple color creates a mysterious and ephemeral look for the eyes. This, too, will be released in a limited design featuring "Ai," likely to elevate the mood with each use.

The "coquette style," rich in romantic accents such as ribbons, pearls, and lace, has emerged as the latest beauty trend. This style is rooted in an aesthetic that embraces a playful and energetic personality, reclaiming the essence of girlhood and enjoyment. It has gained popularity, especially since last fall, among influencers, millennials, and Generation Z.
Chang Wonyoung of the K-pop group IVE has also embraced this trend, showcasing her coquette style featuring ribbons and heart stickers on her Instagram.
Portland, USA-based makeup artist Chime Dolker shares, “The coquette style allows me to embrace both femininity and girlishness.” She has exhibited this style through her makeup, using liquid colors and blushes to create intricate pink ribbons on her nose. Dolker explains that adding small pink ribbons to the face brings back a sense of feminine joy and delicacy.
The coquette style offers an appealing choice for those looking to express their individuality and add a touch of whimsy and color to their daily life.
Iris Apfel, known for her eccentric and unique fashion, was beloved by many designers.
She was a fashion icon, interior designer, and collector who passed away at the age of 102 on March 1, 2024, carrying the feedback of her life experience.
In her youth, she encountered a remark that would change her life. A department store owner once told her, "You're not pretty." However, the woman quickly softened her words, saying, "You have something better. You have your own style."
Iris grew up in Queens, New York, during the Great Depression in 1929, in a household where her mother, a boutique owner, "worshipped at an altar of accessories." This upbringing instilled in her a love for the idea of "adorning oneself." She frequented junk shops in Greenwich Village seeking treasures and practiced DIY long before the term became popular, embodying the concept through her knack for creating classic chic from a mix of elements.
Iris's career defied the ageist tendencies prevalent in the fashion industry. When she achieved great success as an "It girl," she was already over 80 and humorously referred to herself as an "octogenarian starlet." Designers adored Iris, leading to a modeling contract with IMG at the age of 97.
Iris's cult personality led to book publications and collaborations with H&M, and in 2014, the documentary film "Iris Apfel: 94-Year-Old New Yorker" directed by Albert Maysles was released. She once told the filmmaker, "I like improvisation when dressing. I want to choose my clothes as if I'm playing jazz, trying this and that."
In a world filled with rigid style rules and age-appropriate dressing norms, Iris remained a luminous figure, stating, "I like things that have character. It seems to me that many people have lost their individuality." In a time when quiet luxury and safe, neutral fashion are preferred, Iris's style felt even more eccentric. Her luxury was anything but quiet, but like many style icons, she expressed herself through fashion.
The upcoming trend in Korean makeup is the "Neutro makeup," characterized by soft, muted colors around the eyes, creating a cool yet feminine vibe. "Neutro" is a portmanteau of "new" and "retro," becoming a trend word in recent years. Its ease of imitation without using dark colors makes it worth trying to update to the latest look.
Point 1: Semi-matte skin texture.
While glossy skin is still popular, the real trend this year is semi-matte skin texture. The charm of this skin feel is its seamless connection with the matte texture of eyeshadows.
Point 2: Cool yet feminine smoky pink eye makeup
The trend of muted color eyeshadows continues, and a light smoky eye can create depth without appearing too heavy, resulting in a cool yet feminine, attractive look. This is a key to understanding the allure of Korean makeup, similar to the presence of the trending girl group NewJeans.
Point 3: Plump color over-lip for full lips
Speaking of trend makeup, plump lips are all the rage, to the point where over-lips are a must. Applying a matte lipstick as a base and then layering gloss on top prevents the color from bleeding outside the lip lines and gathers light, enhancing the three-dimensional effect, making the use of two products essential.
