Is Andrea So the next K-POP Idol? This makeover is insane! [K-Beauty Pop-Up] Ep.3 [ENG/IDN/MYD/CHN]

0:01 (An Asian hotspot overflowing with passion) (Where are we?) Hi, I'm Liu.

0:13 Does anyone know where I am right now?

0:17 If you watched the previous episode, you might know.

0:20 I'm in Manila, Philippines.

0:22 (Make some noise!) To be honest,

0:24 it's my first time in the Philippines, so I'm thrilled.

0:27 I heard that the ASEAN-Korea Music Festival, 2026 ROUND, is being held here.

0:33 (The heated festival scene is taking Manila

0:37 by storm) I couldn't miss out on this festival,

0:41 so I'm here to open a pop-up store and promote K-beauty here.

0:47 Let's go!

0:53 (One of Manila's biggest shopping malls) (The trendiest pop-up store

0:59 inside) (Among the various booths) (The most popular booth) (Welcome!

1:10 First time seeing authentic K-Beauty?) Hello, everyone.

1:14 I'm Liu, a Korean makeup artist.

1:18 Nice to meet you.

1:21 (Oh my, I have to record this) What I prepared today is a K-pop idol makeup.

1:27 I'll show you how to do makeup to make you look like a stunning idol.

1:32 (The very makeup that K-fans worldwide go crazy for) (The K-idol makeup

1:39 that captured the hearts of women) Let's call on our model of the day!

1:45 Andrea So!

1:49 (Recruited via social media) (A flood

1:55 of applications) (Beating the 200:1 competition ratio)- Hello.

2:03 Hello.

2:03 (So jealous) A bit high.

2:06 Because I heard he's well-known as a makeup artist.

2:10 She says she's very excited.

2:12 Can we look forward to her makeup?

2:13 Of course!

2:14 All right!

2:15 Round of applause!

2:18 (Today's Mission: I want K-idol makeup) For Korean makeup,

2:23 skincare is the most important.

2:26 (Skin check) Her skin is a bit dry, and I think it's a little flushed.

2:32 Since this country has a hot climate,

2:35 it will be good to use toner pads like this.

2:39 So if you put toner pads on your face like this...

2:44 This is full of moisture, so as the moisture evaporates, it takes away the heat.

2:49 That's why it'll reduce skin heat and replenish moisture on your face.

2:54 (Ooh) I think Andrea has a very light skin color.

3:00 Right?

3:00 Yes, that's right.

3:01 She has a bright skin tone,

3:05 and only has some redness here with no breakouts or blemishes.

3:07 So I'll cover those spots with green concealer later on.

3:12 (Coming up: blemish and dark circle coverage

3:15 tutorial) I'm going to begin applying foundation.

3:20 Apply it along the direction of your skin texture,

3:24 then lightly tap it in with a puff for perfect adhesion.

3:28 Do you have a favorite K-pop idol, Andrea?

3:35 TWICE.

3:36 TWICE!

3:37 Yes.

3:37 She has a similar vibe to JIHYO.

3:40 The eyes.

3:42 And the nose is like SANA.

3:44 And then the lips are...

3:47 NAYEON.

3:49 JYP?

3:51 Not JYP.

3:52 (Let's say it's not JYP) But Liu, I'm curious about one thing.

3:57 I want to know the difference between using a brush and a puff for foundation.

4:03 This puff is just like a sponge.

4:06 That's why if you dab foundation on it directly, it'll absorb it unevenly.

4:13 So when you dab it onto your face, it'll keep stamping onto the skin.

4:17 That's why I'm applying it first, then using the puff to blend it in.

4:21 If you look here, you can see that it's clean with hardly any foundation on it.

4:25 (Clean and clump-free) When applying the eyeshadow,

4:31 the pigmentation and longevity differ depending on the base.

4:36 So it's best to make sure the base is applied thoroughly without any gaps.

4:44 They're curious whether they can get this kind of makeup in Korea.

4:51 There's something called a "beauty trip" in Korea.

4:56 Foreigners can receive makeup, hairstyling, and get photos taken as well.

5:04 I actually tried the hair styling and makeup last time.

5:10 Last month.

5:10 And I also wore hanbok.

5:14 At Gyeongbokgung, or...

5:15 Everything.

5:16 Gyeongbokgung.

5:17 Gyeongbokgung.

5:23 I'm going to use this eyeshadow palette now.

5:25 For the eyeshadow, it's best to start with the lighter shades,

5:29 then go on to darker shades.

5:35 Andrea has a narrow space between her eyelashes and eyebrows.

5:43 (Relatively narrow) If I apply eyeshadow above her eyes,

5:47 it may look a bit too heavy.

5:49 So I'll apply more under-eye makeup to expand her eyes.

5:53 (Already knew it was narrow) I'll pat it down with the same color.

5:59 If you swipe the shadow, it'll scrape off the base on your skin.

6:04 So at first, you should tap gently as if applying powder.

6:10 And I usually apply the same shadow to the nose bridge during this step.

6:14 (Applying to the nose bridge makes the look natural) Now,

6:18 using a slightly darker pink,

6:20 I'll add more depth to a smaller area closer to her eyes.

6:26 I'm currently using a shadow palette from Dasique.

6:30 These are products I use at my shop.

6:33 The shadows apply so smoothly,

6:36 and they were designed to blend naturally without clumping.

6:41 If you want a natural and soft makeup, these are the products for you.

6:47 Have you always wanted to try Korean makeup?

6:50 Yes.

6:51 I feel like it suits my features more compared

6:55 to Western makeup because I like the softer look.

7:01 If you learn this makeup technique here today,

7:05 you'll be able to recreate this look yourself.

7:09 (Interested) It's time to add the under-eye highlight.

7:14 When you're doing the under-eye makeup, there are eyeliners with natural colors,

7:22 so you can use what suits you.

7:23 (Merrymonde/ Super Twim Pen Eyeliner) For the outline...

7:28 You can also draw an underline for your under-eye makeup.

7:32 (Instantly plumper under-eyes) This eyeliner is from the brand Merrymonde,

7:38 which is known for its "Twim Liner." They have a variety of colors,

7:44 so you can use them as eyeliner but also

7:47 for eye contouring or as a highlighter for your under-eye makeup.

7:52 Now, I'll add some highlights under her eyes.

7:55 Usually, for highlights, we typically use a beige eyeliner.

8:00 But I'm going to use one with a darker

8:03 color to emphasize the puffiness under her eyes.

8:07 Look up, please.

8:12 Pencils have a bit of a sticky texture.

8:15 Okay.

8:15 So if you apply glitter shadow right after

8:19 that, it'll set really well and last much longer.

8:24 (Before Eye Makeup/ After Eye Makeup) When I heard she was selected,

8:30 I checked her Instagram.

8:33 It looks like she works as a creator.

8:35 Yes.

8:36 I like to dress in ball gowns like a princess.

8:41 And then I do acting and dancing.

8:45 What kind of acting?

8:46 (Surprised) Like dubbing.

8:49 Lip-synching.

8:54 (Acting skills that humble Bridgerton's Charlotte)

9:00 (Appearing like a princess) (Royal elegance vs.

9:09 Questionable dance moves...) So Andrea, look at the camera.

9:14 One, two, three.

9:15 Happy face.

9:17 Crying face.

9:20 Surprise!

9:21 (Everything shows up with the press of a button) Okay.

9:23 Please give a big hand to Andrea.

9:26 How many followers do you have?

9:30 Instagram?

9:30 Instagram.

9:31 1.2 million.

9:34 1.2 million?

9:37 Oh!

9:38 Wow!

9:38 TikTok...

9:40 I forgot, I think 11 or 12.

9:42 11,000?

9:44 Million.

9:45 Million!

9:47 11 million?

9:48 I forgot.

9:50 Make some noise for Andrea!

9:52 11 million!

9:57 I'll apply the brow mascara now.

9:59 Since the space here is narrow, it will look heavy with dark brows.

10:04 So I'm going to bleach them up with brow mascara.

10:08 (Bleach up with brow mascara) Now, I'll cover her dark circles.

10:13 Since dark circles often have a bluish undertone,

10:15 I'll use complementary reddish tones to neutralize it.

10:21 But I won't cover the whole area,

10:22 just the small areas where they're the darkest.

10:31 And Andrea had some reddish spots here,

10:35 but they're hardly visible over the foundation.

10:38 Still, to cover them a bit more,

10:41 I'll use a green concealer to neutralize the redness here.

10:48 I'll mix it with the foundation from before

10:51 and apply it gently to this reddish area.

10:57 (Apply lightly for a natural,

10:59 clump-free finish) And people living in hot climates

11:06 have a lot of heat on their face, so even if it looks oily on the surface,

11:10 their skin tends to be dry on the inside.

11:13 So when you're using blush, it's fine to use powder types, but right now,

11:18 I'm going to mix lipstick and foundation to use as a blusher.

11:22 The Cherry Heart Mega Tint from Merrymonde.

11:26 I'm using a velvet-type tint to make a soft texture.

11:30 Mix it up.

11:32 Like this.

11:32 (Mixing foundation and tint) If you mix them like

11:35 this, you'll have a glowy blush without any inner skin dryness.

11:40 Then tap it lightly, spreading outward from the center.

11:46 Do you like roses or butterflies?

11:51 Butterflies.

11:53 Butterflies.

11:54 Then today, I'll add butterflies- to your face.

11:58 Pink.

11:58 Pink.

12:00 (Rhinestones: A staple of K-idol makeup) With rhinestones

12:06 like this, they adhere much better if

12:09 you apply a bit of lash glue and let it dry a bit before attaching.

12:18 Right now, the rhinestones seem to stand out awkwardly,

12:21 so I'm going to add some colored glitter to bring it all together.

12:28 (Liu's Tip) (Adding glitter to areas without

12:30 rhinestones) (looks more natural) For the final touch,

12:34 I'll add some highlighter to make her facial features pop a bit more.

12:40 Like on the tip of the nose and between the eyes.

12:44 You can just brighten those parts a little bit.

12:47 (Finish with highlighter to complete the K-idol

12:52 look) (A nose bridge that really pops) (Surprise

13:00 event held while Andrea went to change)

13:07 Andrea So has changed into her new outfit.

13:12 Then everyone, let's all together...

13:14 Andrea!

13:17 There we have it!

13:19 Wow!

13:21 So cute!

13:25 (Bright cute) (Reborn as a K-idol through

13:33 Liu's fingertips) (She first arrived with a pure,

13:41 girl-next-door look) (A stunning,

13:45 butterfly-like glow-up!) (A transformation so dramatic

13:54 it even surprised her) 120 points.

13:58 100...

13:59 120.

14:00 120.

14:00 Not 200?

14:01 Don't look at me.

14:02 120.

14:02 Look at Liu.

14:03 Not 200 points?

14:04 200 points.

14:07 Thank you.

14:07 How about the makeup?

14:08 Very, very beautiful output.

14:11 So good.

14:13 She already looked like a fairy, so while doing her makeup,

14:16 I was determined to turn her into a real fairy.

14:20 The result came out even better than I thought, so I'm very satisfied.

14:28 Thank you.

14:29 I held my very first makeup show in the Philippines today.

14:34 It was an honor to be able to share makeup tips with everyone today.

14:39 Thank you.

14:40 Thank you.
