For me, the things that are luxurious are things that are rare. It's not really about how much something costs or whether it's 'limited edition'; it's about how special it is.
We're 2NE1, and we're from Korea. We're this girl band with great music.
I actually wrote the lyrics for 'Goodbye' in 10 minutes.
I love being called Baddest Female.
I use Maybelline's eye studio gel eyeliner and simply glide it onto the eyelids to shape the makeup. Then, I use brown eyeshadow to add more detail to make my eyes look deeper.
When I perform or have work, I get my makeup done by an artist.
Culturally, I'm not 100 percent Korean. I'm very mixed and very open.
Growing up, I listened to a lot of Queen and Lauryn Hill because of my dad. Those are songs that have messages.
I don't like to box myself into anything, because I also sing and I love to dance; I do everything.
It's so easy to be pretty and perfect.
I'm a tomboy, and my style is punk.
Fashion and music are connected, since both are expressions.
With 2NE1, it's not personal because it's not only about me; it's about all the members. We're more about influencing the world.
I have this other side of me that people didn't meet in 2NE1.
I want to represent Asian women.
I want to break that typical Asian female stereotype. There's this standard where they're all calm. I want to break that.
My eyeliner is part of my face. There are elements that I'll change here and there, but my eyeliner, with little wings, that never changes.
I have makeup on for such a long time that I need to give my skin a break. And at night, I really get clean when I take all my makeup off.
I want to express my ideas through my music and on stage because I'm a musician.
There are always two sides to a person. CL is me, and so is Chaelin.
