The Muse of Monolid Makeup, Toxin Claims Diversity is the Standard of Beauty
Beauty YouTuber Toxin, specialized in monolid makeup, gains a fan base both domestically and internationally, taking a unique path.
The name Toxin has become synonymous with monolid makeup. More than just a tutorial, his journey of incorporating the identity of monolids into the concept of beauty with his own rules and philosophy is inspiring many people.
Illustrating the Simple Truth that "Monolids Can Also Be Pretty" Through Video
Beauty YouTuber Toxin did not start his channel with a grand ambition. During his design major, he naturally created video content by combining his makeup skills and video editing abilities without anyone's recommendation. In his early 20s, when transitioning from a blog to video media, it wasn't a fully planned challenge. However, he had a clear idea.
“I wanted to show that someone like me with monolids can become this pretty with just makeup.”
Introducing himself as a monolid creator, Toxin developed a new style that highlights single eyelids, which were overshadowed by the traditional double eyelid-focused makeup trends. From eyeliner, shadow shading, to emphasizing eyelashes—the tips he introduces transform the misconception that ‘monolid makeup is difficult’ into practical and stylish approaches.

Recognized Like a Brand Even Among Overseas Fans
Most of Toxin’s subscribers are MZ generation women, and fans are watching him from abroad. As those with monolid eyes reveal their individuality, beauty content itself becomes a means of expressing identity. Toxin precisely targeted this point.
He is expanding the spectrum of content with not just makeup tutorials but also beauty product reviews, lifestyle vlogs, and various experimental makeup. His videos pay attention to conveying not just technique but also entertainment.
“Nowadays, viewers have high expectations; just showing makeup isn't enough. A way to aid understanding or fun must also be included.”
Thus, Toxin’s videos combine technical tutorials, aesthetic direction, and witty remarks, creating a unique atmosphere. Through the medium of monolids, viewers are helped to accept makeup as a tool of self-expression.
"You Can Draw Anything on a Blank Canvas"
When asked to summarize the charm of monolid makeup, Toxin responded firmly.
“You can draw anything on a blank canvas.”
This philosophy is embedded throughout his content planning and expression methods. The absence of a double eyelid isn’t seen as a limitation but rather a perspective of infinite potential. For this reason, he often receives questions about double eyelid surgery, and his thoughts are clear.
“Do it if you want to! It's your choice. Even if others say something, if you truly want it, you should.”
This honest attitude makes Toxin appear as an even more relatable content creator. Everyone has concerns about their appearance, and he straightforwardly shares that personal choice and preference are important despite those concerns.
Meeting Fans and Genuine Encounters Outside of the Camera
Recently, Toxin held his first fan meeting and had the opportunity to meet viewers directly. He shares that the time he prepared gifts at his own expense and retouched makeup was special for him.
“I was excited to see who would get the Prada wallet. It was so rewarding when fans received gifts and smiled.”
His fan base, mainly from middle school to college students, is said to make many requests. These requests are practical, such as reviews of Daiso cosmetics, trouble skin care, and makeup methods without false eyelashes. This indicates that Toxin’s content is not just about creating pretty videos but also serving as problem-solving content in daily life.
Like his expression, someday wanting to directly demonstrate eye expansion makeup to fans, Toxin inside and outside the camera seem similar yet different. While she presents a more fun and outward personality on the YouTube platform, inside lays serious contemplation and growth.
A YouTuber Constantly Challenging, But Not Losing Focus
As a makeup creator, Toxin has challenged various styles but admits that some areas are still difficult. Particularly, ‘subtle yet making the eyes look bigger’ makeup is challenging. It sometimes conflicts with his tastes and is difficult to balance between being too much or too little.
However, such difficulties are part of the content. Toxin prioritizes sharing sincerity over fearing mistakes. He claims there are two essential elements he always tries to include in his content.
“Tips are a must, and showing change is essential!”
Rather than just showing what he is good at, sharing development and attempts. Through this, Toxin opens the stage for self-expression through makeup for viewers. He explains he gained internal confidence in the process.
“It's not like I lacked confidence in appearance, but I definitely gained more confidence in ‘my capability’.”
The Next Goal is to ‘Directly Demonstrate Eye Expansion Makeup’
Regarding future content plans, he expressed one wish. To directly demonstrate eye expansion makeup to fans offline.
The unique journey of beauty creator Toxin's monolid makeup is inspiring many. YURICO5 aims to contribute to realizing everyone’s beauty with such diverse makeup approaches and reliable cosmetics.
