No girl group has made waves like XG with each new release. For those unfamiliar, XG, which stands for “Xtraordinary Girls,” has taken the music scene by storm. The seven members—Jurin, Chisa, Hinata, Harvey, Juria, Maya, and Cocona—are all incredibly young and talented. They debuted when they were between the ages of 18 and 21.

Cocona, the youngest member, has been captivating audiences with her trilingual rap skills since she was 16. Though originally from Japan, XG primarily operates in Korea and sings in English, a deliberate move to cement their status as a truly global girl group.

Their multilingual musical expression is matched by their talent and attention to detail. XG's music, a vibrant blend of pop, hip-hop, and R&B, complements their skilled dance skills and creative aesthetic. 2023 was a particularly meaningful year for XG, marked by the success of "Left Right," a song that showcased their unique musical style and garnered widespread attention. XG continues to establish themselves in the music industry with memorable performances and distinct personal styles, proving to be a major influence in both music and beauty.

Below are some makeup styles that have helped XG make an impression on fans.

Virtual Reality

In the music video for 'Grl Gvng', each member's face is accented with cyberpunk-inspired symbols. Chisa, in particular, stands out with her green wig and straight bangs, complemented by elaborate headphones, giving her a youthful, distinct look.

Meanwhile, Cocona’s dark, tech-savvy assassin character adds a contrasting style, both of which have sparked this fun makeup trend on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

Mermaid style

Still the source of the cyberpunk sound comes, but in this look, the girls are transformed into deep-sea mermaids. Jurin's face is dotted with beads that resemble water droplets, while her hair is cut in an ash-blue bob. Her nails are arguably the most impressive, with intricate shapes like seashells, some nails resembling a drop of water hanging from a claw.

Cocona's Blue Eyes

In the music video for 'Shooting Star', each member wore a blue wig in a different style. However, Cocona paired her blue hair with bold makeup, including blue eyeshadow, tinted eyebrows, and black eyeliner to accentuate her natural cat eyes.

Cocona wore her hair in a ponytail and paired her blue hair with blue eyeshadow and tinted brows, using black eyeliner to accentuate her natural cat eyes. Her face was also adorned with light-catching stones, which appeared on the rapper's teeth and danced rhythmically with each word.

Harvey's Curly Hair

During the promotion of 'Shooting Star', Harvey showed off a series of curly, blonde hairstyles on Instagram, each style tailored to match the band's performance theme. This ever-changing look was paired with vibrant outfits that took on the Y2K theme of XG's wardrobe, featuring a modern take on the black, white and silver chrome color palette.

Fur hat and lots of rhinestones

Leader Jurin and youngest member Cocona have been rocking their signature bright fur hats and tooth-shaped gems on their social media. They took the colorful gem trend to the next level this time around, adding them not only to their teeth, but also to their noses and under-eye areas. The combination of fur hats and tooth gems represents the group’s maximalist aesthetic, with saturated colors and a plethora of accessories conveying their playful yet bold concept.

Under eye blush

For fans of bold eye makeup, members Maya, Chisa, and Juria have embraced the under-eye blush trend. The technique involves simply blending blush and concealer under the eyes.

Members took it a step further by adding glitter and creating a more dramatic look by overemphasizing the blush. Not only does it give the look a fresh and vibrant look, it also gives the opportunity to use vibrant colors on the lower lash line, maximizing the color mixing possibilities by creating a visually cohesive look.

The era of irregular color schemes

In 'Left Right', Chisa impresses with a fierce yellow-green look, pairing gloves and a bandana with yellow eyeshadow and striking blue eyeliner.

Meanwhile, Cocona is ready to take us to the other side in a striking neon green and pink ensemble. Her eyelids are painted a yellow-green and studded with gems, while her nails are painted lime green.

In another scene, Maya's simple makeup look — classic ponytail, contoured cheeks, and pink lips — is enhanced with bronze shadow paired with shimmering gold and blue under her eyes.

Teeth Grillz

Marking the first music product to be performed entirely in Rap, with a group that always knows how to appear to make viewers "gasp", the XG girls did not hesitate to wear Grillz in the MV 'WOKE UP'. Originating in the 1980s, Grillz were used by hip hop artists in New York (USA), and by the 2000s, Grill became an item associated with popular culture. Originating from hip hop, the culture of wearing Grillz spread to Pop singers and even to Asia.

The most striking visual comes from Cocona shaving her head in front of the camera in the music video, a truly goosebump-inducing moment. This bold, futuristic look, enhanced by the metallic crown, underscores XG’s departure from traditional K-pop aesthetics, showcasing their creativity and unique worldview. XG are more than just a group; they are a universe in themselves, brimming with innovation and artistic flair.
