He shared, “For G22’s comeback and anniversary shoot, I personally went for a clean yet fierce look. I intentionally avoid using glitters and graphic liners–elements often expected in P-pop girl group aesthetics–to truly highlight each member’s natural beauty and charisma. Since the overall theme of the shoot was ‘supermodels,’ I focused on a refined, high-fashion approach that let their confidence shine through.”

Additionally, Jay outlined a few steps to achieving this striking beauty statement. If you’re looking to add some allure this summer, here’s Jay’s advice on how to cop G22’s superstar appeal:
“Achieving this look is all about keeping the skin clean and fresh while enhancing natural features. The key steps include starting with well-prepped, hydrated skin, applying a lightweight yet flawless base, adding a soft pink-peach blush, subtly defining the eyes, and finishing with a nude lip. But more than the makeup, confidence is what truly makes the look stand out–when you feel fierce, it shows! Anyone can try this look and add their own twist to make it their own.”
To get to know these girls better, we break down the beauty details they exuded in their stunning beauty concept for their comeback song, “Pa-Pa-Pa-Palaban.”
