P.S. If you got the song references here, you deserve a *finger heart*
1. Curtain highlights
You might surely love balayage, global or streak highlights, but there’s nothing bolder than wearing curtain highlights. Colouring or bleaching the face-framing strands is a trend-setting 90s trend that’s made a big comeback. Pair these daring highlights with subtle ombre makeup for a stand-apart look.
2. Sun-kissed glow
This trend hits homerun! It gives your face a natural tanned-blush look, as if you’ve just come from a sun-bathing sesh. Take a peach-ish, tan orange blush and apply it all to the apple of your cheeks and the bridge of your nose. Blend it well. Then you can take a little bronzer and glide it on your cheeks to add a little warmth. You can also draw on some freckles for a youthful look.
3. Pastel makeup
Who said pastel is subtle? K-pop stars surely know how to amp things up! Rightfully owning the frosted makeup trend, Kpop artists are sporting vivid pastel eyeshadows and how! You can opt for eyeliners or rely on pastel eyeshadows to give your eyes a colourful hue. Make sure to apply an eye primer so that the colours do not look ashy.
4. Glitter affair
Remember the time when glitter and stars were cool? That time is back! Kpop artists are embodying their ‘star-dom’ into reality with this galaxy-inspired makeup trend. Cute little starry cutouts, as well as using rhinestones and glitter is adding a lot of bling to the under eye! And this bold style is adorned by all genders, proving that beauty is for everyone.
5. OTT headpieces
From a headpiece bejeweled with stones to chunky headbands - everything that was popular back in the day is now rushing back and taking the center stage, all because of Kpop idols. Headbands fell out so bad, that they almost disappeared, but today they aren’t just back, but back with a lot of jazz.
6. Black nail paint
Doesn’t it remind you of the punk era of the 2000s? Today, almost every artist regardless of their gender is applying a matte, jet black nail paint with shared poise. You can go as crazy as you want with the nail art or keep it simple with a few coats of this nonchalant colour.
7. Baby braids
This unassuming hairdo would become a signature style for today’s pop girls, who would have thought? This resurgence of tiny, face-framing braids is really a 5-minute job where you part your hair in the middle, and braid one-inch sections on both sides. Then leave your hair open, tie it in a bun, or wear a jazzed headband, you will look like a cutie either way.
8. Chunky hair clips
9. Fabu-lash!
What can you possibly do with lashes, apart from lengthening them? If you’re thinking this, this Kpop trend will enlighten you. Sure, you start with applying several coats of mascara to elongate them as much as you can. Then before the mascara dries up, use a pair of tweezers to clump the lashes together. Work in small sections, and you will end up with wispy, defined lashes!
10. Berry lips
Take a berry break from your usual pinks and reds with wine and purple lipsticks! A much sought-after trend these days, these lilac-like lip colours are raving in South Korea. It not only looks refreshing but also brings out the radiance in your complexion! Focus on the center of the lips and then extend outwards towards the edges.
K-pop artists sure know how to put up a performance, right? What trend are you excited to try first?
