He had been very excited for the second episode and when he,d heard who their guests would be, he was even more excited since he knew some of them from the time on mnet global auditions season 3 and while he hadn’t been the winner it would fun to catch up with the girls he used to know.

As was typical for recording days, he sat before the mirror adjusting his hair and touching up his makeup since he was pretty good at it and the stylist noonas had accepted that he knew best for himself. He was handed the script and he excitedly looked over before finding his cohost and wish her luck as well. It was together that they succeeded on the first episode. It would be together that they would succeed on all the following episodes

besides, they played off each other well. The fun and charismatic one was jongsuk and the cool and collected one was Eunji. They worked well together and that was all that they could do at the time.

Makeup: Jongsuk is 100% a beauty guru and his flawless looks start from his makeup routine. Traditionally, he starts off with a foundation primer. He likes using Smashbox Photofinish Foundation Primer ($48) since he’s more often than not filming and taking selfies and his makeup has to last fairly long without touch ups. For foundation, for a long time, he used Bourjois Paris in shade 51 (light Vanilla){$20}. He recently transitioned to Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Pro Filtr Soft Matte Longwear foundation in Shade 105 (for pale skin) {$45}. Following the foundation, he does countours and highlights. For contour (to get those killer cheekbone shapes), he likes to use an Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Contour Kit in the shade Light to Medium ($53). For highlights, he uses Charlotte Tillbury Hollywood Flawless Filter in shade Fair ($54). Everything then gets blended with a beauty blender and then he goes in on the rest of his makeup. If he has to go to practice, he will just do his eyeliner and lip gloss. If he goes out for the evening, then he does eye-shadow, brows, eyeliner, mascara and a tinge of lip gloss. For eyeliner, he uses Kat Von D tattoo liner ($27). His lipglosses change occasionally but for the most part, they’re nude, neutral colors either in light pink or beige. He has almost a whole bag of lip glosses but prefers Anastasia Beverly Hills ($22) or a NARS Orgasm Oil-Infused Lip Tint ($34). His eye-shadow palettes change with what he likes too, and he’s got way too many to count. Currently, a preferred favorite is Lunar Beauty’s Greek Goddess palette with lots of golds, pinks and sparkles ($61). He also owns the MorphexJames Charles palette but he’s not a huge fan of the obnoxiously bright colors. For his brows, he uses Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz pencil in Shade Medium ($28) but he also really likes Benefit Cosmetics Great Brow Basics Pencil and Gel Set in shade Medium ($41). In terms of mascara, he has way too many as well, but a current favorite is the Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara in Black ($32). Overall, his makeup routine, perfected to such a point, takes about 45 minutes for everything including eye-shadow, brows, mascara and about 20 minutes for just eyeliner and lipgloss. He’s done many tutorials talking about his makeup routine as well as the seasonal preferences. 

Skincare: Jongsuk's skincare routine is very detailed since his skin is incredibly flawless. he doesn't usually wear a lot of foundation so his naturally pale skin is taken care of to almost an nth degree. His skincare routine usually take forty five minutes before he heads to trc in the morning and about an hour before bed. In the morning, he uses a moisturizer, followed by a serum and then a face mist. Before he does the moisturizer, he uses a face mask. The face mask that he prefers to use is Fresh Rose Face Mask ($80). It's a hydration mask that keeps his face nice and hydrated . Following that, he uses a Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Moisturizer ($60), since he's hitting 30 in a few years and it helps keep his skin looking younger as well allow for a clear canvas for him to do his makeup. He likes using an eye serum as well to keep himself looking young and handsome. He uses Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Pure Luxury Lift & Firm Hydra-Gel Eye patches ($100) that help reduce puffiness and dark spots as well as reduce early age lines. He finishes off his skincare routine in the morning with a setting spray after all the makeup. Jongsuk uses a Fresh Rose Floral Toner ($53) to finish everything off. At night, his skincare is far more detailed since he actually has the time to take care of himself before he goes to bed and sleeps. First, he washes all the makeup off with a makeup remover. He always uses Tarte Micellar Magic Makeup Remover and Cleanser ($24) to clean off all the makeup he's worn during the day. He then thoroughly washes his face with a cleanser to start off his creams and masks on a clean slate. Most often he alternates between two cleansers and an exfoliator depending on the day of the week. He likes La Mer Cleansing Foam ($130) to purify and cleanse the skin, or Caudalie Gentle Cleansing Milk ($37) for soft skin. The exfoliator he uses once a week (typically Sundays) is Tatcha Rice Polish Foaming Enzyme Powder ($84). He uses the classic one which nourishes with crushed pearls. He rather likes the fact that it is taken from the Geisha preparation ritual and keeps him looking youthful and flawless. He then uses a regular face cream on his face. Jongsuk likes using Belif True Cream Aqua Bomb ($50). Finally, before he goes to sleep, he puts on an overnight mask on his face and goes to sleep. He really likes Laneige Water Sleeping Mask ($33) for an overnight moisture recharge.
