Chou Tzuyu, the beloved member of the global K-pop sensation TWICE, has been a style icon since she first stepped into the spotlight. From her days as a contestant on SIXTEEN to her reign as a top-tier idol, her journey is not just one of musical talent but also of stunning beauty evolution. Her ability to switch between soft, natural aesthetics and bold, stage-ready looks has inspired fans everywhere to experiment with their own style.
At Mimic Makeup, we're all about empowering you to express your unique self. Our mission is to bring premium beauty products from trusted brands to everyone, everywhere. We believe beauty should be accessible and authentic. Tzuyu’s versatile style is the perfect inspiration for exploring how makeup can elevate your look and boost your confidence. Let's dive into her world and see how you can achieve her signature looks.
From Tainan to International Stardom
Tzuyu's path to fame began when she was discovered by a talent scout in her hometown of Tainan, Taiwan. This led her to South Korea, where she honed her skills as a trainee. Her pre-debut photos reveal a natural charm that quickly won over audiences during her time on the reality show SIXTEEN. It was clear from the start that her grace, talent, and visual appeal were destined for the main stage.
Even in her early days, Tzuyu’s look emphasized a fresh, clean canvas. This timeless style focuses on healthy skin, a look anyone can achieve with the right skincare and prep. To get that idol-worthy smooth base, a gripping primer is your best friend. We recommend the e.l.f. Power Grip Primer to lock your makeup in place for hours. For an added skincare benefit, the e.l.f. Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide not only preps your skin but also works to improve its texture over time.
Decoding Tzuyu's Signature Beauty Looks
As the visual of TWICE, Tzuyu’s makeup is often a masterclass in understated elegance. She highlights her best features without overpowering her natural beauty. Here’s how you can recreate some of her most memorable looks.
The "Glass Skin" Base
A flawless, almost translucent complexion is a staple of K-beauty and a key part of Tzuyu's look. This starts with a foundation that offers coverage without looking heavy. The Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Longwear Foundation is perfect for creating a matte, yet natural, finish.
Next, brighten and conceal with a high-performance product. The Hourglass® Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer offers incredible coverage while feeling light as air. For a more luminous effect, especially under the eyes, the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer is a cult classic. To set your base for a truly "airbrushed" effect, a fine-milled powder is crucial. The Hourglass® Vanish Airbrush Pressed Powder blurs pores and imperfections, while the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder provides a flawless final touch.
Captivating Eyes
Tzuyu's eye makeup often features soft, neutral shadows and perfectly defined lashes that make her eyes appear larger and more doll-like. You don't need complicated techniques to achieve this—just the right mascara. The Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High® Mascara is perfect for adding dramatic length and volume, mimicking the look often seen in TWICE music videos from "TT" to "What is Love?".
A Natural Flush of Color
To get that youthful, healthy glow, a pop of blush is essential. Tzuyu often wears soft pink or coral shades on the apples of her cheeks. Liquid blushes are great for a seamless, skin-like finish. Try the NARS Afterglow Liquid Blush for a sheer, buildable glow, or the Hourglass® Unreal Liquid Blush for a more luminous look.
For those who prefer cream or stick formulas, the rhode Pocket Blush gives a dewy, fresh-faced effect. The Pixi On-the-Glow Blush offers a hydrating tint that is easy to blend with your fingertips. For a unique, long-lasting stain, the innovative Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tint provides a beautiful, sheer wash of color.
Luscious Lips: From Tints to Glosses
A key part of Tzuyu’s look is her versatile lip style. Whether it's a subtle tint or a high-shine gloss, her lips always look healthy and hydrated.
For a nourished, glossy pout, lip oils are a fantastic choice. The Gisou Honey Infused Lip Oil and Summer Fridays Dream Lip Oil both deliver intense hydration and a beautiful shine. To add a plumping effect, the YSL Loveshine Plumping Lip Oil Gloss creates a fuller look.
Healthy lips start with great care. The LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask EX – Berry is an overnight treatment that repairs and moisturizes. For daily use, balms like the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm and Pixi +Hydra Lip Treat keep lips soft and supple. For a wash of color with skincare benefits, try the rhode Peptide Lip Tint. Use the rhode Peptide Lip Shape liner to define your lips beforehand for a more polished look.
Skincare: The Secret to Idol Radiance
An idol's demanding schedule makes a solid skincare routine non-negotiable. Healthy skin is the ultimate foundation. Building a routine with effective ingredients is the first step toward achieving a radiant complexion like Tzuyu's.
Hydration is key. A serum like the La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum – Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin B5 will drench your skin in moisture. To brighten your complexion and promote an even skin tone, incorporate a Vitamin C serum, such as the La Roche-Posay Vitamin C12 Serum – Pure Vitamin C + Salicylic Acid. Most importantly, protect your skin every day with a high-SPF sunscreen. The La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 provides excellent protection and works beautifully under makeup.
