Jeon Somi on How to Recreate Her ‘Anymore’ Music Video Look—From Depuffing Skin to Foolproof Eyeliner

[upbeat music]

Hi, Vogue.

I'm Somi, and I'm here to show you my morning routine

and my makeup look for Anymore.

My first step is to tie my hair.

I like to make homemade nutrition pack

for me in the morning.

It has all meal and almond powder,

and I just mix it with mushy banana.

Sheet masks are very good at giving

moisture to the skin, but this is super nutritious.

Okay, so we leave it on for about 10 minutes.

So it's super soft.

My mint scrub from Sabon.

I like to use it in the morning or before I go to work

'cause it feels like it's going to de-puff my puffy skin.

I usually use a finger scoop.

I like to explore with my skincare.

So I really like using a lot of products,

and yeah, I love doing self-care.

I use this Glacier Water Hyaluronic Acid Serum.

I use it with a thin cotton pad.

So it absorbs all the serum.

It's like a sheet mask time.

And while I'm doing that, it's time for massage time.

So I have a lot 'cause I love salty food

and it gives me a cute face in the morning.

So I have to use these.

In Korean, we say [speaks in Korean],

but in English it's gua sha.

They come out in many shapes, but I picked this one

'cause it has a small roller for the eye as well.

I always look for different shaped tools to try out

and I love to massage

'cause I really see the difference right away.

So we're gonna use this part on the jaw line.

You put that right there and you dig in.

There's this part right here, I use this on the neck line.

I think Korea is really all about the gua sha these days.

So massage tips, okay, I did this in the morning.

Put your arms up and you pinch right here.

There's this muscle right here,

and if you pinch this and massage it,

it's really good for de-puffing.

It's a lymp massage technique.

And so that's done.

I always share my routine with my other K-pop idol friends.

We are all about de-puff.

We're on camera a lot, and we have to sing and dance.

We have to look nice, so we do that a lot.

Propolis Synergy Toner.

I put a little bit there.

It's a toner, so I just wipe it through.

My skin was always very dry, so it would crack a lot.

So I am very aware of moisturizing

and what moisturizers I should use and what not to use.

And this is Propolis Light Ampule.

This is magic cream.

It preps the skin super nicely.

My mom never actually gave me makeup tips.

She was like, You don't need to do makeup

'cause you're pretty face, it's all from me.

She's kinda like that.

But my dad told me never to pluck my eyebrows,

but I do now. [laughs]

I'm sorry.

To do many concepts and many looks,

I had to pluck my eyebrows to make different shapes.

So after applying the cream,

I'm going to put on some lip balm.

Jojoba Lip Essence.

In Korea, there's this place called Kyung-Rak

and it's a face massaging place.

These ladies, they have a knuckle grinder

and they like grind your face to make it symmetrical.

Once you start going, you can't stop

'cause you really see the differences in your face.

My dad is actually very athletic.

Like he loves to exercise.

He loves to work out.

So since I was a kid, I would always go exercising with him

and 'cause of his influence, I started Tae Kwon Do,

and I did it for about eight years,

and I'm a black belt with, a four-degree black belt.

And so yeah, I could wood chop you. [chuckles]

Now, it's makeup time.

Okay, I use this eyebrow gel.

Put a little bit of it on.

And I lift it up.

I use Huda Beauty as my foundation.

Yeah, and I use a sponge.

You don't wanna have dark circles when you're on stage.

So I'm very picky of my dark circles,

and under my nose here.

It gets red, so I like to cover that up.

I use Stila, it's a color correcting palette.

I'm gonna use a salmon color.

When I think of a look that I would be doing,

I think about the character in the song.

Somi in Anymore, she's heartbroken,

and she's just crazy over this guy.

She doesn't know what to do.

So we wanted to give that dark concept, got dark theme.

So we used the pink smokey theme with the makeup.

Now, it's time for powder.

To get the oil out of the way, we just put it on the eyelid,

under-eye, and around the brows.

So now, it's time for eyebrow.

I use KissMe Heavy Rotation.

I like to shape my brows longer,

so I kinda draw out the edge here.

It's time for eyeshadow.

Born Like This palette.

This color right here as a base.

I've been working since I was 14.

So I had makeup on for a long, long, long time.

This is where the smokey comes.

Lorac, and I use the color, Truffle, right here.

I do it with my finger 'cause it's easier for me to control.

A KissMe Gel Liner.

I like to fill in the water line all the way through.

Then eyeshadow first, and I use the Truffle color.

Small round brush.

I'm guiding my eyeline to see if they're the same.

I like doing it with eyeshadow first because I can't,

I don't trust myself using the liner right away

'cause I know I'm gonna mess up.

For the Anymore look,

we thought the cat-eye winged eyeliner would look good.

You look sensitive and you look super mean

if you have a straight cat-eye and if it's smokey.

Going to draw it with the eyeliner.

I like to layer eyeshadow and the eyeliner.

I like to just layer these things up for safety

'cause we don't have enough time

and you don't wanna mess up.

Always good to have insurance

while doing your makeup.

My eyeliner is done,

but I like to do something to it.

Same color,

kind of connect my double eyelid here.

So this is the key for the look for Anymore.

So you use the same color, Truffle.

My eyelashes, I cut them up into small pieces.

Seems easier to apply on my eyelashes.

I curl them up first.

There we go, lashes are up.

Now, it's time for fake eyelashes.

I use Duo.

And the key of Anymore is to have long shaped eyes

and wide shaped eyes.

I apply lashes in a moving car.

Also, turbulence plane.

I mean, I'm a pro 'cause it's a must item for me.

I always have fake lashes.

Put about three, four pieces into one eye.

I actually go to Amazon and,

you know those crazy false lashes?

I like to experiment

and I bring it to my makeup artist and I'm like,

Can we use this?

And so we used it on XOXO and DUMB DUMB.

Now, it's time for mascara.

We're using KissMe.

I like to use waterproof mascara

'cause I sweat when I dance.

Mm-hmm, we do this, and there's this special thing I do.

We're gonna reuse to Q-tip that we used earlier.

Cut the cotton ball part and use a lighter.

Burn this stick up, shake it around.

And like that, it's curling your lashes.

A lot of Korean makeup artists, they use this technique.

So that's where I grabbed it from.

And in Korea, it's called fire straightener.

I'm going to do nose contouring.

Rarekind, it's a Korean brand.

Kind of blend the sides.

And I use a little bit, and I put some on here.

I draw a line here to cut my nose.

And on stage, the lighting is super strong.

So you actually can't see the contour.

So we have to do it a little stronger, a little bit more.

I use the same contouring for my jaw line.

Blush is one of my wow points.

So I'm using this pinky blush,

I'm just gonna put a little bit on here.

And then now, I'll put a pastel, purple, milky color.

I kind of go crazy with it.

I go all over, like starting from the under-eye,

I mean, like all over here.

And so now, it's time for highlight.

I use Fenty Beauty.

Rihanna is big inspiration for me.

Like she is my role model,

and she's the reason why I got interested

in singing and dancing

'cause my first music video that I ever watched was,

♪ Please don't stop the music ♪

it was Don't Stop The Music.

So I was really drawn into that and I was like,

Whoa, wow, she is so cool.

That's when I started to get dance lessons and vocal lessons

and here I am now.

Yeah, I will ask my friends to pick up me some of these

when they didn't have it in Korea.

And I kind of like to highlight the corner of my eye.

I researched a lot to show people

a look that they've never seen before.

A hint of me, myself to show my personality

in my music and work.

My goal is to inspire people.

I love to be an influence.

When I was younger,

I would only put pink or something peachy,

a lot of blush, pink lips, something that looks cute.

But now, I got confidence and I tried out this and that,

and now I know what looks good on me and what doesn't.

So these days, I am trying smokey makeup

and I try to make a depth in makeup, not just pinky pinky.

I try to put oomph to it.

This mole right here is everything to me.

So I like to mark it once more to make it stronger.

I'm going to use Make Up Forever Lip Liner.

Compared to my eyes and nose,

my lips are kind of small.

So I kind of like to overline it.

Then I use a velvet pencil.

This is the first layer, it's like a base.

Somi in Anymore loves a purple lip.

And now, Somi is definitely going out tonight,

and thank you for watching this video.

This is the final look for Anymore.

Bye.
