The ‘douyin’ makeup trend—something that plumps up the face and makes it look poreless—has been dominating the K-pop scene. We've even seen this look on IVE's Wonyoung, Everglow's Aisha, and Billie's Tsuki.
But, Where did this makeup trend come from? “Douyin” is the Chinese version of the TikTok official app owned by Bytedance. The trend started when Chinese beauty influencers, content creators, and celebrities used the platform to show off their natural makeup looks and its techniques. Hence, this tells why the trend is called “douyin” makeup.
You might be thinking, what’s so different about this latest viral makeup style? Well, this look highlights one's innocent and feminine looks while giving off a doll-like soft feature – perfect for east Asian women.
So if you want to achieve this look, here are some tips on how to do it and what products you will need.
1. Natural skin finish
This look is all about the glow. To kick start, use a primer to create a smooth skin effect, moisturizer for an extra shine, and a tone-up cream to even out your skin tone. Don’t forget to choose the right shade of your skin for the base makeup. Pat cushion base makeup all over the face, and dab concealer on your dark areas. This will give all the natural glow and dewy skin finish that is perfect for the look.

2. The contour and blush statement
To enhance your facial features like nose and jaws, use a shading or a bronzing powder. Go easy on contouring and blend it all out. Next is one of our faves. Blush up your cheeks by using a pink or red shade on your cheekbones, tip of your nose, chin, and above the corners of your eyes for a drunk blush effect.

3. Flushed lips
Better have those luscious lips for this look. You can apply a pink or a mauve shade of lippies whether it's a matte or satin finish. But if you want the best of both worlds, do a gradient lip and apply gloss for some gleam.

4. Pop of glitters
For the eyeshadow, use a soft base color, followed by a brown shade for the lower lash line and outer v, and top it off with glitter on the lids and inner corners. Putting glitters will bring all the attention to your eyes.

5. Winged on point
Feel free to go sassy or be simple with your eye makeup. Some prefer to put on strong winged eyeliner and some keep their wings subtle, which is sometimes called a cat eye.

6. Shimmers and Aegyosal
The best part of this look? The puffy under eyes. "Aegyo-sal," a Korean word for baby eye fat, focuses on getting your eyes more charming and inviting. So if you want to make your eyes brighter and bigger, better add this to your look. To achieve this, you may use a natural brown shade eyeshadow or a muted brown liner to draw a thin curved line that complements the curve of your under eye, make sure to blend the edges, and then apply a small amount of concealer or highlighter shade on top of the line and blend. Of course, don’t forget to add the shimmers!
