CLIO’s Favorite Faces

CLIO is always keeping an eye on relevant and trendy stars to their campaigns, very well-known celebrities who match the brand’s chic, edgy image. In the past, idols like Lee Hyori and Sandara Park have been faces of the brand. CLIO, who has been making professional and high-performance but practical makeup products since 1993, is well known for their “Kill Cover” range, which has become a mainstay of the line. In 2020, Krystal Jung and Kim Wooseok were chosen as brand ambassadors, promoting staple products such as the Melting Sheer Lip, the Mad Matte Lip Stains, and the Kill Cover Fixer Cushion.

Earlier in 2021, Stray Kids was part of a campaign as this year’s CLIO’s faces. First promoting hit products like the Kill Lash Superproof Mascara and the Melting Sheer Matte Balm, the JYP boy group released a collaboration version of the Pro Eye Palette, in Brickkids and Mauvekids, that included shade names referencing Stray Kids songs and easily recognizable terms to the fans, such as “Get Cool,” “My Lane,” and “Dandy Boy.”
