If you have ever wondered how TWICE’s Mina maintains her skin’s effortlessly perfect and glassy appearance both on stage and off, you are in for a treat.
The Japanese pop sensation, renowned for her graceful beauty and tranquil elegance, has recently revealed her favorite SK-II skincare and makeup products. From the gentle techniques she employs to keep her complexion calm and clear to the subtle beauty tips that enhance her natural glow, Mina’s regimen is as refined as she is.
Let us delve deeper into the products and practices that contribute to her radiant look.
Cleansing
Mina adopts a gentle cleansing method by washing her face with just water in the morning, complemented by the Facial Treatment Cleansing Oil (RM270).
In the evening, she incorporates the Facial Treatment Gentle Cleanser (RM270) for a thorough double cleansing that removes all impurities from her skin.
Lotion
Her preferred lotion is the Facial Treatment Essence (RM850). She warms it in her hands before applying it to her face, gently pressing it in with care.
Mina has been an admirer of this product for several years, appreciating its light and watery texture that instantly revitalises her skin. She takes her time to apply two layers of the essence, savouring the experience as part of her skincare ritual.
She likes to store the product in the refrigerator for an additional cooling and soothing effect, which is particularly beneficial on performance days when her skin feels hot and sweaty.
Serum
Mina reaches for the Genoptics Infinite Aura Essence (RM1,020). This has been a staple in her routine for a long time, and she notes that people frequently compliment her skin when she uses it. As she gently swipes and taps the product onto her skin, she admires its light and refreshing scent.
Cream
Her favourite cream? Skin Power Advanced Airy Cream (RM750). She enjoys applying it both in the morning and at night for that light hydration. Today, it acts as a wonderful, airy base that does not interfere with her makeup.
Sheet Mask & Mina’s Tips
Before special events or following a lengthy day filled with activities and performances, she provides her skin with an additional layer of nourishment using the Facial Treatment Mask (RM410). She values the substantial amount of serum contained in each sheet, which enables the mask to remain moist even after 15 minutes.
Mina reveals that she has been utilising an SK-II regimen to achieve an even and stable complexion. In addition to the products, she also upholds a healthy lifestyle by emphasising the importance of sleep. On busy days, she manages to sneak in short naps and compensates for sleep, reaching up to 10 hours on her days off.
Primer
She establishes a smooth and uniform base with the Genoptics CC Primer in Rosy Pink (RM298). Enriched with brightening components such as Niacinamide and SPF 50+, this adaptable primer provides her with a lovely and consistent look. She applies it alone on her days off for a natural, radiant complexion.
She dabs it onto her cheeks, forehead, and chin, then blends it by swiping and tapping. Mina mentions that she strives to treat her skin delicately and avoids any harsh rubbing.
Its hydrating qualities keep her skin moisturised throughout the day while maintaining a flawless appearance, and she wholeheartedly recommends it to anyone in search of a lightweight, straightforward primer.
Concealer
Since Mina faces challenges with dry skin, she prefers cream-based concealers like the glow Not Dry Concealer (~RM123.41). She uses a concealer brush to dip into the salmon pink shade, blending it on the back of her hand before applying it in a triangular area beneath her eyes and into the corners of her nose.
With the white shade, she enhances and lifts her facial features by applying it around the lower corners of her lips and chin. She gently blends both shades using her fingers.
Brows
To maintain consistency with her natural makeup throughout the day, Mina utilises the ENTROPY Tough Brow Sculpture pencil in Walnut to fill in and elongate the tail ends of her brows. By subtly shaping her brows, she achieves a fluffy, charming, and airy look that complements Mina’s tranquil demeanour.
Eyes
Employing the Lummir Light On Eyes Shadow Palette 05 (RM155, currently unavailable), she selects a light beige shade and blends it across her eyelids. Mina notes that she consistently chooses beige-pink shades to impart a hint of softness to her eyes.
With the Chacott Crayon Concealer in Light Ocher (RM113.88), she highlights her aegyosal in the centre and blends it using her fingertips. The outcome is a plump, three-dimensional appearance of her eyebags, contributing a youthful aspect to her beauty.
To further enhance the shadow of the eyebag, she uses the contour shade from the Judydoll 2 IN 1 Highlighter Contour Palette in 04 (RM41.93) with a precise lining brush. Mina expresses that aegyosal has become an essential element of her makeup routine, as it brightens her face while effectively concealing dark circles.
Using her Lummir eyeshadow palette, she applies a pink-taupe shade to create an undereye triangle, thereby defining her eyes and adding a splash of color.
Highlighting and Blush
With her 2 in 1 highlighting and contour palette, she employs the matte white highlighter to illuminate further and mask her dark circles.
She remarks that she prefers a matte highlighter, as anything overly pearly or sparkly appears out of place in her natural makeup style. She then applies highlighter to the tip of her nose and the inner corners of her eyes.
Mina enhances her cheeks with a gentle flush using the NUEGRAY Sway Cheek Blusher 5 (RM80.85). As a richly pigmented cream blush, she delicately taps into it with her finger and blends it across the apples of her cheeks, the tip of her nose, and her chin.
Lips
Finally, she completes the look with a glossy lip tint. Using the ENTROPY Charm Tint Ruby Charm (RM70.66), she draws thin lines on her lips before blending it out with her finger for a smooth finish.
