From the rebellious hyperpop track Gnarly, which has taken the internet by storm, to the heart-fluttering pop chart-topper Touch, KATSEYE has quickly become known not just for its sound but also for its standout beauties.
In a new Get Ready With Me video on Glossier’s YouTube channel, the girls are giving fans a rare peek into their routine and products of choice.
From Manon’s iconic straight brows, which every brow artist has been exposed to, to Sophia’s perfect pout, which stays mysteriously glossy through rain or shine, each member brings her own flair and personality to the routine.
Ahead, we break down each KATSEYE member’s basic routine step by step, so you can recreate their looks.
Sophia’s Routine
Base:
Sophia starts her base by priming and hydrating her skin with the Glossier Futuredew (S$48). Her pick for foundation is Chanel Water-Fresh Complexion Touch in B30 (S$111), which she applies with a foundation brush, blending it into her skin.
Sophia’s choice of blush is Glossier Cloud Paint in Wisp (S$35), a cool-toned pink-purple shade that brightens her complexion while leaving a natural finish.
She then layers Glossier’s Futuredew Solid (S$41) for highlight, smudging it onto her cheekbones and browbones for a glow-from-within look. “I want to look like I drank water,” she jokes, before blending it out with her fingers.
Eyes:
Sophia uses Glossier Boy Brow Arch in Black and Grey (S$38 each) to lightly fill in the tail end of her brows. After curling her lashes, she uses Glossier Lashslick in Black (S$32) for a boost in length and volume, giving her eyes a doll-like appearance.
Lips:
Sophia’s plump, glossy lips have been the hottest topic of discussion online. Her secret? She taps Glossier Generation G lipstick in Like (S$32) all over her lips to even out the tone, before topping it off with a thick coat of Glossier Lip Gloss in Clear (S$29) for an all-over shine.
Fun fact: Sophia recounts that growing up, her mother forbade her from wearing makeup. Nonetheless, she has grown into loving the peaceful ritual and “me-time” that her morning makeup routine brings.
Manon’s Routine
Base:
Manon starts her skin prep with a few pumps of the Mario Badescu Facial Spray (S$15) for an extra dose of hydration, before loosely blending out her skin tint, Chanel Water-Fresh Complexion Touch in B50 (S$111), with a foundation brush.
She introduces a healthy flush to her cheeks with a liberal amount of Glossier Cloud Paint in Dawn (S$35), a sunny coral shade. Manon admits to having a bit of blush-blindness, joking, “If you don’t look a little sunburnt, you’re doing something wrong.”
She then sculpts her cheeks with Chanel Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream in 395 Soleil Tan Deep Bronze (US$60), buffing it with a contour brush for a defined look.
Eyes:
Manon’s strong, straight eyebrows are her signature look and an inspiration for many, including her own group members, with Sophia joking that she and Daniela have followed in her footsteps by shaping their brows straighter.
Manon achieves her look with the help of the Glossier Brow Flick in Black and Brown (S$29 each), starting from the middle with thin strokes and filling in the tail ends for a blended gradient.
Lips:
For the perfect pout, Manon lines her lips using Glossier Lip Line in Buff (S$29), before topping it off with Glossier Ultralip in Trench (S$35) for a subtle, nude lip.
Daniela’s Routine
Base:
Daniela takes a natural approach with her base makeup, opting for a concealer-only approach. She covers her acne scars and blemishes with Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer in Cotton (S$62), dabbing and blending with her finger for a quick touch-up.
She introduces a soft flush to her face, taking a blending blush to the Makeup by Mario Soft Pop Cream Blush Stick in Dusty Rose (S$62) and smoothing it out along the apples of her cheeks.
Finally, she contours her nose with the cool brown shade ‘Smarty Pants’ from her Tartelette in Bloom Clay Eyeshadow Palette (S$68). Focusing the shading on the bottom of her nose tip, she brings it up and lightly defines her nose bridge.
Eyes:
Daniela’s sharp, siren features are part of her allure and signature look. To aid in “snatching” her face, she draws straight, angled brows using the Benefit Cosmetics Precisely, My Brow Pencil in 4.5 (S$47).
To define her eyes, Daniela lines her inner corners and draws a sharp, angled wing with Glossier No. 1 Pencil in Black (S$29). Her technique involves lightly smudging out her lines for a smoky effect.
Lips:
An overline is essential to Daniela’s classic lip look. Using Glossier Lip Line in Buff (S$29), she extends the width of her lips for a fuller pout.
Perfume:
Like most of us, Daniela’s morning routine isn’t complete without a spritz of perfume. She mixes Glossier You Eau du Parfum in Doux and Rêve (S$125 each), generously spraying onto her neck, wrists, hair and clothes. The result is a delicious blend of fragrance that lasts her throughout a day packed with activities.
Megan’s Routine
Base:
Megan opts for a natural and lightweight base, citing cakey makeup as her pet peeve. To avoid the feeling of a stuffy foundation while dancing, she uses Glossier Stretch Fluid Foundation in Very Light 4 (S$54). She follows up with Glossier Stretch Concealer in Very Light 4 (S$35) to conceal her acne.
She sculpts her nose with an affordable classic that’s been sold out in Korean Daiso’s, Tag Multi Contour Stick in #02 Nude Brown (~S$5.19). She lightly draws her contour on with the stick, sharpening her nose tip and nose root before blending it out with a fluffy brush.
Finally, she dots Glossier Cloud Paint in Beam along the high points of her cheekbones and the bridge of her nose, then blends it out. The coral hue brings a cute and youthful look to her face, which explains why Megan loves using blush. She even jokes that she suffers from “blush-blindness.”
Eyes:
Megan fills her brows in from head to tail with the Kosas Brow Pop in Soft Brown ($S38) with light, feathery strokes.
For eyeliner, her technique involves applying Glossier Shadow Stick in Stereo (S$35) onto an angled eyeliner brush. She tight-lines her upper eyelid and draws a straight wing, with a small pointed wing in her inner corners for definition.
Lips:
Megan follows Daniela in using Glossier Lip Line in Buff (S$29), overlining her lips for a poutier look.
Fun Fact: Megan takes a carefree approach to her routine, loving to experiment instead of sticking to hard and fast rules. She jokes that her routine is full of mistakes, as she only learned her makeup skills late in life out of necessity for dance performances.
Lara’s Routine
Lara preps her skin with the Glossier Futuredew (S$48) primer for a dewy finish and revitalised effect.
Her choice of foundation is Glossier Stretch Fluid Foundation in Medium Tan 4 (S$54), as she appreciates its medium coverage finish. She blends it out with a foundation brush, a recent development in her routine after discarding her “ugly, dirty Beautyblender.”
To snatch and highlight the high points of her face, Lara uses a brush and dabs Glossier Stretch Concealer in Light 4 (S$35) on her undereyes to temples, chin, forehead, and brow bone. The result is a lifted and brightened look to her complexion.
In a shocking twist to the usual makeup routine, Lara replaces contour products with eyeliner. She uses the Glossier No. 1 Pencil in Frame (S$29) to define her nose bridge and tip. After applying the eyeliner, she blends it out with a fluffy brush, smiling and reassuring us, “Trust the process.”
Eyes
Sharpening her large almond eyes, Lara uses ONE/SIZE Point Made Liquid Eyeliner in Black (S$35) and draws an angled wing eyeliner, smudging out any mistakes with her pinky. Then she switches to Vasanti Kajal Waterline Eyeliner in Black (~S$24.61), citing it as “extra good” as she defines her lower lashline.
Lip
Lara’s favourite makeup product is lip liner, saying, “If I had only one thing, I would choose lip liner.” Yoonchae affirms this, recalling the familiar sight of the former wearing lip-liner and nothing else to rehearsals.
Her choice for the day is Glossier Lip Line in Nip (S$29). She uses it to smoothly overline and define her pout.
Yoonchae’s Routine
Base:
Yoonchae keeps her base light and simple with her holy grail, Jungsaemmool Essential Skin Nuder Cushion in Light (S$46.80). In her chats with Lara, she reveals that she’s only ever used cushions to apply her foundation.
She then mixes Glossier Cloud Paint in shades Puff and Soar (S$35) for the perfect shade tailored to her liking, dabbing it right below her eyes for a youthful and lifted look.
Eyes:
Yoonchae lightly fills in her brows with Glossier Boy Brow Arch in Cool Dark Brown (S$38), starting from the head of her brow and lightly drawing in the direction of her hairs.
After curling her eyelashes, Yooncha applies her favourite mascara, Glossier Lashslick in Black ($32). She uses her fingers to pinch the hairs together, resulting in long, grouped lashes that she playfully describes with a “shwoop!”
She follows up with the Kiss Me Smooth Liquid Eyeliner in Black (S$15.60), drawing from her inner waterline and extending it out into a long, straight wing for an enlarging effect.
Lips
Yoonchae tops her lips off using the Rom&nd Dewyful Water Tint in 11 Lilac Cream (S$20.25), applying it all along her lips for a glossy finish.
