Sweep the deeper shades from the Ever Icon Eye Palette in 02 Rose Goddess across the lids and along the lower lash line. Fill in the waterline and under-eye with the Sleek Kohl Glider in 02 Espresso Brown, then extend the outer corners with the Everink Liner and softly smudge for definition. Lightly tap Cherry Glaze Bar in 03 Cheeky Coral beneath the cheekbones. Finish with Rose Dew Lip Bite in 05 Dreamy Rosewood on the lips.
With her luminous complexion and doll-like features, it’s easy to see why TWICE’s Chaeyoung is the face of Dolce&Gabbana Beauty’s “Fresh Look” campaign. She may be one of the youngest members in the K-pop group, but her steadfast and fiercely independent spirit shows a maturity beyond her years. She embodies exactly what the brand’s Makeup Wardrobe celebrates: Beauty as an authentic expression of self—free, bold, and constantly evolving.
Her sense of individualism and authenticity can be seen and heard in her very first solo album, released in 2025. Titled Lil Fantasy Vol. 1, the 10 tracks have been heavily influenced by the 27-year-old’s personal stories, exploring themes of loneliness such as in “BF”, toxic relationships in “Band-Aid”, and independence in “Shadow Puppets”. It may have taken her three years, but it’s an album that she’s extremely proud of. “I wanted to properly show who ‘Chaeyoung’ is as a person, since it was my first solo album,” she says.
Interestingly, the South Korean rapper-singer has writing and arranging credits on nearly all of the tracks in the album. Though when asked if she was meticulous in the planning, especially with the album’s long preparation period, Chaeyoung shares that she wasn’t. “Not at all. I’m very spontaneous,” she jests. “For about two of those three years, I was just working with friends or building my portfolio on my own.” Those friends included singer-songwriter Sumin, and rapper-singer-songwriter Jibin of Y2K92 who helped her produce the track “Ribbons”.
Prep the skin with the Bergamot Glow Primer to smooth texture, then apply a thin layer of the Rose Glow Cushion in 2N for a clear, hydrated base. Use a light brown shade from the Ever Icon Eye Palette in 01 Amber Venus to softly contour the eyelids. Tap Cherry Glaze Bar in 04 Sunny Red onto the cheeks for a fresh flush, then finish with Rose Dew Lip Bite in 04 Flirty Red on the lips.
When it comes to beauty, Chaeyoung is a chameleon—she moves easily between personas. “Makeup feels like becoming a character. When it matches the concept, I immerse myself more in the song and gain confidence,” she expresses. She went from glamorous and dazzling during TWICE’s Feel Special comeback in 2019, to soft and ethereal in the group’s More & More comeback in 2020, and then delivering a whimsical Lolita-esque vibe for her own Lil Fantasy Vol. 1 solo.
She has shared in previous interviews that she’s more of a lipstick girl. So it’s not surprising then that Chaeyoung’s favourite look from the four Dolce&Gabbana Beauty Fresh Looks created is the one where she spots juicy kissable lips and a soft flush on the cheeks. “I barely did any eye makeup and only used blush and lippie—it felt closest to my everyday self.”
Line the waterline with Sleek Kohl Glider in 01 Total Black, then sweep a soft rosewood shade from the Ever Icon Eye Palette in 02 Rose Goddess lightly across the lids. Define each lash with Everfull XL Mascara. Tap Cherry Glaze Bar in 02 Smitten Pink generously across the cheeks and over the bridge of the nose. Complete the look with Rose Dew Lip Bite in 02 Dainty Mauve for a hydrated, softly flushed pink lip.
Embodying the spirit of the brand’s Fresh Look campaign, Chaeyoung wears two newly launched Dolce&Gabbana Beauty novelties—the Rose Dew Lip Bite and Cherry Glaze Bar–24H Glow Blush Stick—to show the products’ versatility and youthful vibrancy.
The Rose Dew Lip Bite, available in six shades, is a hydrating tint that creates a softly diffused, just-bitten effect. Infused with Italian rose extract and hyaluronic acid, it boosts moisture by up to 73 per cent while helping lips stay smooth and plumped. The finish is sheer but buildable, leaving a lasting wash of colour and a subtle sheen. The teardrop applicator makes touch-ups quick and precise, so you’re always ready for a kiss of colour.
Elevate that K-glass skin effect and give cheeks a healthy flush with the pocket-sized Cherry Glaze Bar. Available in five vibrant shades, this stick blush melts into cheeks for a natural flush that you can dial up or down. Plus, the skin-loving formula is enriched with nourishing Italian cherry oil and vegan collagen, so it also keeps skin moisturised while supporting the skin barrier and boosting that glow for up to 24 hours. Best bit? Its waterproof and sweat-proof formula means that the colour doesn’t budge easily, lasting all day—perfect for warmer climates.
A flawless complexion is always the best canvas for the perfect beauty look. To complement the two new additions, prep the skin with the Bergamot Glow Primer. Infused with hyaluronic acid, sea water, and Italian bergamot, it not only improves skin texture, but also imbues it with moisture, leaving it healthy, radiant and makeup-ready.
Next, the Rose Glow Cushion delivers a brightening and hydrating veil over the skin, blurring imperfections for an immaculate finish. Its innovative formula also contains Italian rosa canina and niacinamide that work synergistically to enhance skin’s glow for 24 hours. Application is never messy due to its cutting-edge mesh delivery system and the water drop-shaped applicator that allows you to reach those hard-to-reach areas for a smooth finish.
Trace the lower lash line with the silver shade from the Ever Icon Eye Palette in 03 Chrome Star, then apply a bright shimmer to the under-eye. Fill both the upper and lower waterlines with Sleek Kohl Glider in 01 Total Black, and extend the eyes with a long flick using the Ever Ink Liner. Layer Rose Dew Lip Bite in 06 Quirky Mocha on the lips for a sensual, high-shine look.
For extra lustre on the lips, layer on the Oil Lip Plumpers for a soft flush of glossy colour that makes your pout plump and juicy instantly. Infused with vitamin E for rejuvenation, each of the three variants also come with additional ingredients for extra lip care. The Mint Oil Lip Plumper provides a cooling, volumising effect using mint extract; the Orange Oil Lip Plumper provides nourishment with orange extract; the Watermelon Oil Lip Plumper uses watermelon extract to boost hydration; while the Coffee Oil Lip Plumper uses coffee extract to soften your lips.
Celebrating creative freedom and the power of makeup as a personal, authentic language, Dolce&Gabbana Beauty’s Fresh Look—featuring Chaeyoung—showcases how music intertwines with fashion and beauty.
So, does Chaeyoung see any similarities between herself and a beauty brand that pursues boldness and freedom? “I think we’re very similar—let’s say 150 per cent,” she adds with a laugh.
