[ASKKPOP] 6 K-pop Idol looks you can achieve for $30 or less

You don't need to spend tens and hundreds of dollars to recreate some of the most popular and trendy idol looks! All you need is $30 or less and we'll tell you how you can get these beautiful yet surprisingly simple looks at home.


 

2NE1's Dara


"Gotta Be You" makeup was one of the best I've seen onDaraas it accentuated her porcelain complexion and her doe-like eyes shined with just simple shimmery latte-colored shadow. When recreating Dara's look, make sure to perfect your wing using a matte black eyeliner. To tone down the heavy makeup on top, Dara went for a more subtle lip color which you can recreate with a lip tint or gloss which will help maintain healthy lips with minimal intensity.


Recreate Dara's look with:

MIK@VONK black auto eyeliner($6.57)

Etude House Cafe Banana Latte ($7.12)

It's Skin Mini Tint Gloss($8.50)

Total: $22.52


T-ara's Jiyeon

For her solo track "Never Ever,"Jiyeonwent for a more simple and natural look rather than the usual strong unnieT-arastyle. This again, is an easy look to recreate with just a couple eye products. When recreating Jiyeon's look, make sure you don't overdo the eyes with shadow, but focus more on smoothing out your eyeliner to give it a smokey finish. As for the lips, a light lip liner will do the job and instead of focusing on the outer, spread the product towards the inner lips.


Recreate Jiyeon's look with:

Etude House soft touch auto lip liner($6.00)
Dolly Wink Eyeliner - Black($11.25)
Tony Moly Crystal Lovely Eyes - Brown Beam($5.25)

Total: $22.50


Suzy

Suzyand 'MLB' have proven to be great partners as the duo always seems to deliver top quality looks with the female idol. For this look, smother your eyelids with golden brown shadow with a bit of shimmer. Then, go in with a darker brown shadow up to where your crease is. Finally, draw a small wing with your soft black eyeliner, extending out as much as you'd like. Smudge out your eyeliner to complete a smokey, sultry look. Use bright red to maroon lip tint for a strong, Suzy-like, look.

MIK@VONK black auto eyeliner ($6.57)

Holika Holika Berry Lip Tint - Raspberry($6.00)

Girls' Generation's Taeyeon


ThoughTaeyeonnever has a bad day, this female idol looked exceptionally beautiful in her latest solo MV, "I." With yourTony Moly Shimmer Lover Cube in Pinkholic,a multi-functional product that acts as a blush, highlighter, and eyeshadow, use both the lightest and the second to last pink shadow on your eyes, in that order. Use the more pigmented pink shadow as if you're applying eyeliner. Then, with the same product, apply it on your cheeks as a blush. Finally, with your light pink tint, poke three dots on your lips before spreading it all over with your middle/index finger.

EXID's Hani

Haniis usually adorable with minimal makeup. However, when she does go full performance makeup, this female idol exudes sex appeal and charisma. For this look, forget the eyeshadow and go straight in with your eyeliner, drawing in your perfect wing from one end to the other. Tightly fill in your eyes, but make sure you don't poke your eyes in the process. Finish your makeup with reddish purple lip tint and apply it all over your lips to give it a fuller look.
