Glimmily

Forget everything you know about heavy, dark smoky eyes. This K-beauty-inspired take is lighter and way more fun. It’s all about adding shimmer and pearl to your shadows for a softer, dreamy vibe. Let’s check out a few popular looks:

Jennie keeps it cool with gunmetal gray sparkles. She fills in her waterline but swaps heavy black for subtle shimmer. The trick? Mix silver and gray tones for depth, keep your eyeliner soft, and add a hint of blush. Pro tip: check your makeup in lower lighting to make sure your eyes still catch the light!

@sooyaaa__

Jisoo goes romantic with soft, hazy mauve-gray on her lids and silver shadow blended all the way to her inner corners. She curls her lashes for that doll-like effect but keeps her cheeks and lips light with delicate pink—it’s all about balance.

@katarinabluu

Karina takes a minimal approach with clean, crisp matte black liner on her waterline and brown pearl layered over perfectly separated lashes. Simple but stunning.

@xeesoxee

Han So-hee breaks all the rules. Instead of the usual “heavy eyes, light cheeks” formula, she does both—gray shadow topped with pearl on the eyes, plus peachy blush and glossy lips. Cold meets warm, and it totally works.
