Most of you probably know of the visionary artist in some capacity. The South Korean rapper, songwriter and beauty trailblazer known as Mirani has has been making waves since her debut on popular reality series, Show Me the Money, and continues to climb the charts in 2024. This July, Mirani sits down with Vogue Singapore to give us the lowdown on her make-up favourites, skincare must-haves and more.
A recent make-up trend you’re obsessed with I’m into heavy cheek make-up these days. I love to apply blush over the bridge of my nose, for instance.
An underrated beauty product you believe deserves more recognition The Holika Holika Double Eyelid Liner is the best product you can use to create aegyo-sal—essentially, the bottom eyelid shading technique that imploded in South Korea and is still relevant to this day. It applies really naturally.

The songs you play to hype yourself up It would have to be ‘Ratata’ by Skrillex and ‘Boss Bitch’ by Doja Cat.
Your desert-island make-up essentials I’d have to go with the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Pressed Powder for a matte, poreless complexion, Holika Holika Two Slash Four Glaze Lip Changer in the shade Nu Coco and the Glint Highlighter in the colour Dewy Moon.
Your go-to hair-care product I’m a big fan of all the products from Moroccanoil. The texture of the products are not too heavy or light, and I love how soft and shiny they make my hair. I use a lot of their products regularly.
The non-negotiable skincare step in your regimen Moisturising. Whether it’s day or night, I have to put on the La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5. I can’t live without it. I always stock up on it because my skin feels dry without it.
A beauty trend you wish would make a comeback An intense, dark smoky eye. I think that it suits me and I love the kind of mood it creates.

The favourite step in your wind-down routine It comes right after my shower. I choose a scented body lotion—one that comes with a fragrance that I want to use for that day—mix it with oil and apply it all over my body. My go-tos are the Byredo La Tulipe Body Lotion and anything from Bath & Body Works.
Your signature fragrance Without a doubt, Versace’s Bright Crystal.
A TikTok beauty hack that changed your life Use an eyelash growth serum. It does a world of good for my lashes and I wish I had known about it earlier.
A lip look that inspires confidence I love dark pink lips with a hint of grey.
A Korean phrase that resonates deeply with you There was a time when the term ‘중꺽마’ was popular in South Korea. It means ‘the important thing is an unbreakable heart’. In life, I as Mirani realised that you never know the outcome until the very end. I think it is important to have an unwavering mindset.
