‘Just Makeup’ crowns a new K-beauty legend: Paris Geumson wins the finale by unanimous judges’ vote and takes home roughly $220,000 USD in prize money.
On Nov. 7, 2025 KST, the final mission on ‘Just Makeup’ pitted Paris Geumson, Son Tail, and Oh Dolcevita against one another under the theme ‘DREAMS’. Veteran actresses Kim Young Ok, Ban Hyo Jung, and Jung Hye Sun appeared as legend models, bringing their life stories to a bespoke photo shoot that anchored the episode.
Paris Geumson transformed Ban Hyo Jung with the concept of a “reaper, a guide for souls,” delivering a radical reinvention that earned the night’s top scores across the board. The look fused a single, emotion-charged eye design with symbolic black butterflies and wolves—imagery that overwhelmed the set. Ban Hyo Jung said, “I was stunned.”
Son Tail elevated Kim Young Ok’s lines and years into artful contouring—an ode to time itself—that drew praise as “the most beautiful queen.” Oh Dolcevita framed Jung Hye Sun’s tenacious dreams in a flamboyant tableau, insisting that “an actor’s life does not dim,” and leaving a resonant finish.
With a unanimous decision, the title went to Paris Geumson, who received approximately $220,000 USD. The winner said, “I pulled out the mindset I had at twenty when I first started makeup and ran to the end. It finally feels like I’ve broken through.” Son Tail and Oh Dolcevita called the journey “a dream.”
‘Just Makeup’ wrapped on a wave of strong viewer response. All episodes are available on Coupang Play.
