Want to know the secrets to her “no make-up make-up” glam? We’ve got just the tutorial for you!
How to create Jennie’s natural eye look
Step 1: Get a neutral eyeshadow palette
To accentuate your eyes and give it a captivating yet soft look, you’ll want to get a neutral-toned palette with different shades of beiges and browns.
The one used in this tutorial is Dasique’s Shadow Palette in “11: Chocolate Fudge.” Alternatively, Canmake Tokyo’s Perfect Multi Eyes Palette in “Almond Mocha” is a great option as well.

Step 2: Start with a light brown base

After applying your base makeup, use a fluffy eyeshadow brush and pack on a light brown eyeshadow onto your lids, following your eye shape and dragging it down to your lower lash line for a seamless look.
The next step is to deepen your eyelid crease. By using a flat eyeshadow brush, apply a slightly darker brown shade to the part where your eyelid naturally creases.
Step 3: Create the illusion of deep set eyes

Even if you don’t have naturally large and almond-shaped eyes like Jennie, you can still accentuate it with eyeshadow! Use a warm cocoa brown colour and apply it in a triangular motion around the outer part of your eyes.
Make sure to blend it out slightly so that there are no harsh lines.
Step 4: Highlight your aegyo-sal

Part of Jennie’s youthful charm comes from her dumpling cheeks and noticeable ageyo-sal, which is the roll of skin right beneath your eyes that frame the lower eyelids.
To accentuate or create the look of it, you’ll want to use a small angled brush to gently apply a medium-toned brown shade onto the region below your aegyo-sal.
Then, using a flat eyeshadow brush, pick up a light beige shadow and apply it to the area right beneath your lower lash line. Dab on the same shade onto the inner corner of your eyes using your fingertip to give it a bright and awake look!
Step 5: Fill in your brows lightly

While many makeup looks emphasise thick, prominent brows, the approach of natural makeup takes a different stance. The goal here is to create soft, barely-there brows that are devoid of obvious arches.
To do this, fill in your brows lightly with a brown pencil, making sure to follow its natural shape. Brush them out once you’re done!
Step 6: Apply brown eyeliner and mascara

Then, use a dark brown gel liner and create a small wing at the end. Lengthen your lashes by finishing off with two or three coats of brown mascara, and you’re done!
