Gloss Like a Boss: How Stray Kids’ Felix Just Won the Cool-Toned Lip Trend at F1

If you thought the fastest things at the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix 2026 were the cars, you clearly weren’t looking at how quickly Felix from Stray Kids broke the internet. While the engines were roaring on the track, the real “noise” was happening in the Tommy Hilfiger paddock, where the deep-voiced Aussie angel turned the pavement into a high-fashion runway.

At D-Muse Magz, we’ve seen plenty of K-pop idols attend sporting events, but Felix (Lee Yong-bok) didn’t just attend—he served. The standout detail of his look? A perfectly executed cool-toned lip gloss that has every beauty enthusiast reaching for their makeup bags.

In a world of warm peaches and classic reds, Felix just proved that “cool and icy” is the ultimate 2026 vibe. Here is how he pulled off the look and why we’re all obsessed.

The Look: Paddock Chic Meets High Fashion

Representing Tommy Hilfiger alongside fellow member Bang Chan, Felix arrived looking like a literal dream. He wore a crisp, oversized white button-down paired with a classic navy cardigan draped over his shoulders—the quintessential “old money” prep look.

But it was his face that truly stole the show. Felix’s signature freckles were out in full force (bless!), and his skin had that ethereal, lit-from-within glow that only a few people on this planet can truly pull off. However, the focal point was undoubtedly his lips.

The “Cool-Toned” Difference

Usually, lip trends lean toward warm terracottas or vibrant pinks. But Felix went for a mauve-toned, slightly “dusty” purple-pink gloss.

• The Shade: A cool, desaturated lavender-pink.
• The Finish: High-shine, almost “glass-like” without being sticky.
• The Result: It made his complexion look even brighter and gave his look a futuristic, polished edge that matched the high-tech energy of F1.

Why the ‘Cool-Toned’ Trend is Massive in 2026

For the longest time, beauty rules told us that cool-toned lipsticks were “washed out” or “hard to wear.” Felix just threw that rulebook into the pit stop.

As we move through 2026, we’re seeing a shift away from the heavy “clean girl” aesthetic toward something a bit more “editorial.” Cool tones—think berries, mauves, and soft greys—provide a sophisticated contrast to the skin. Especially for someone with Felix‘s unique features, the cool tones highlight the blue and green undertones of his eyes, making the whole look feel cohesive and intentional.

Steal the Style: How to Rock the Felix Gloss

Want to channel your inner Felix for your next big event? You don’t need a VIP pass to a Grand Prix to look this good. Here’s how to master the cool-toned lip:

1. Prep is Everything: Cool-toned glosses can highlight dry patches. Start with a gentle lip scrub and a hydrating balm.
2. The Base: Use a lip liner that is one shade darker than your natural lip color but with a cool undertone (look for words like “ash,” “taupe,” or “mauve”).
3. The Center: Apply a cool-toned gloss or a “lip oil” to the center of your lips and blend outward.
4. Keep it Fresh: Pair the lip with minimal eye makeup and a touch of “cold girl” blush on the cheeks to keep the icy theme going.

The F1 “Main Character” Energy

It wasn’t just the makeup that made Felix a viral sensation at the Singapore GP. His interaction with the drivers, his effortless poses in front of the Tommy Hilfiger car, and his genuine excitement for the race made him the ultimate “Main Character” of the weekend.

Whether he’s on stage with Stray Kids performing “Chk Chk Boom” or sitting in a VIP lounge watching the Ferraris fly by, Felix has a way of making every moment feel like a high-fashion editorial. He isn’t afraid to experiment with gender-neutral beauty, and the world is better (and glossier) for it.

The D-Muse Final Verdict

Felix is the ultimate beauty muse because he understands balance. He took a classic, preppy outfit and gave it a modern, K-pop twist with a single beauty choice. The cool-toned lip gloss wasn’t just a trend—it was a statement that he’s always three laps ahead of everyone else.

At D-Muse Magz, we’re officially declaring 2026 the year of the Cool Tone. If it’s good enough for our Sunshine Felix, it’s definitely good enough for us.
