Article Clip: Innocent VS Sexy, Eye-Catching Girl Group Make Up – Dara And Suzy

Innocent VS Sexy, Eye-Catching Girl Group Make Up

Idols build up their images from their first stage appearance, before they begin to establish their own images. Depending on their group’s concept, plus other variables such as their costumes, the time of their debut, and the number of their activities, their images will also change. Make-up plays a big variable in girl group styles.

◇ Even with smokey eye make up, still innocent Suzy & Sandara Park

With Miss A‘s sexy dancing and singing, Suzy made her debut with the group’s sexy image, meeting the public for the first time with semi-smokey make-up. But with her appearance in the KBS Drama “Dream High” last year, where she played a student, Suzy became popular with her clean eye make-up, with little color or no make-up at all. Her cute image in the drama became more associated with her, compared to her stage image.

Group 2NE1’s Sandara Park is a great idol representative. With her small face and cute facial features, she made a strong impression during their debut for the song, “Fire” with her strong eye line on their stage performances.

Sandara Park then became a cosmetics model (Etude House), and since then has attracted people with her bright and youthful look, while sporting light make-up mostly in orange and pink shades, giving her a more feminine look. This makes people forget that she’s actually an ’84 liner, because of her young looks.
