Pilates-Proof Beauty: Testing JBeauty Faves That Go the Distance

There’s something to be said about holy grail products and how we always find ourselves coming back to them. They’re bestsellers for a reason, and when we run out, restocking is a must. Today, I want to talk about two of my favorite JBeauty makeup brands: K-Palette and KISSME. I’ve talked about K-Palette before and have sung praises of their eyeliner and mascara. I’m happy to report that I’ve gone through quite a few tubes at this point.

K-Palette, along with KISSME, offers products known for their long-lasting wear. They actually encourage people to put their makeup to the test. What better way to try makeup that’s meant to move with you than with a pilates session? The event started with a quick demo of their bestselling products, followed by a pilates class guided by PRANA Movement Studio. It was the perfect setting to see if their brow and lash products could hold up—and they absolutely did.

K-Palette and KISSME Star Players

The product demo was headed by long-time JBeauty lover Belle Rodolfo. Coming in with a headset mic and a megawatt smile, Belle was our very own Britney Spears as she shared tips and tricks to level up our glam.

Starting the brows with K-PALETTE 1Day Tattoo Real Lasting Eyebrow Liner 24H (P845/0.7g), Belle shared that she remembered her first time with the product. How even though the trend at the time was bold and large brows, the translucent and microfine lines made the product stand out. The eyebrow liner with its fine tip and translucent ink makes for the most natural filled in brow. Infused with panthenol, sage, and chamomile extract, the eyebrow liner doesn’t just act as makeup but also nourishes brow growth. This is available in two universal shades Natural Brown and Grayish Brown.

K-Palette is known for their high performance and their line of 24-hour lasting products. To match the brows, the eyeliner has to last just as long. The K-PALETTE 1Day Tattoo Liquid Eyeliner (P795/21g) features a micro fine 0.1mm brush making it a precision tool for the perfect line. Formulated with a hybrid tattoo film that resists sweat, sebum, and friction while still being flexible enough to be soft, stretchable, and resistant from cracking. This is available in seven shades that play with blacks, greys, browns, and reds. On days where I want my eyes to look awake but not in your face I swear by the Maroon Brown and Scarlet Brown shades.

Finishing off with lashes we got to try the KISSME Heroine Make Long UP Mascara (P795/6g) and the KISSME Heroine Make Volume UP Mascara (P795/6g). KISSME is a brand inspired by anime heroines from our favorite shows growing up. Equipping users with lashes that power through rain, sweat, and tears. Choose your favorite, length or volume, or combine them for the power of both! Start off with the Long UP mascara and then volumize with the Volume UP mascara.

Belle also shared her favorite mascara hack which you may have already seen on her TikTok. She likes to wipe the wand of her mascara on a tissue to remove the bulk and completely remove the chance of clumping. She swears by this and by the look of her lashes I’m inclined to believe her. Because the KISSME mascaras are not just long lasting but also waterproof KISSME has the KISSME Heroine Make Speedy Mascara Remover (P575/6.6ml) perfect for removing the hardy product.

Lifeproof Wear Test

Pilates at PRANA Movement Studio is no joke. With reformers and pilates chairs set up, attendees powered through an intensive workout guided by expert instructors who focused on strength, control, and mindful movement. It was the ideal setting to put long-wearing makeup to the test.

Even with the heat, sweat, and challenge of the session, everyone got to live out their pilates princess dreams. No smudging, no slipping, and best of all, no need for touch-ups. Just pure confidence from beginning to end.

Sure of their staying power, K-Palette and KISSME had attendees pose for glamour shots before the workout and again after. The result? Faces stayed flawless and fresh. When your makeup is truly lifeproof, you can focus on the flow and not worry about your face.

Before pilates

After pilates

Our resident beauty guru Belle Rodolfo looked just as fresh post-pilates as she did before. Even after a full workout, her brows and lashes stayed perfectly in place. Sweat and movement didn’t stand a chance against the long-wear magic of K-Palette and KISSME.

Joining in on the celebration of JBeauty’s staying power were a few equally empowering lifestyle brands. Athletic fashion label MillennX brought the style, while Toesox from Certified Calm kept everyone grounded during the session. Hydration and snacks were also covered, thanks to Sipwater and The Gray Koala cookies.
