[ASKKPOP] [POLL] Natural vs. Dark: Female Idol Makeup

There appears to be only two big dichotomies when it comes to appearances in K-Pop. Either you have the sweet and innocent image or you have the fierce and sexy image--although idols usually take on both looks at some point in their career.


A lot of female idols look like angels or goddesses with their very natural makeup consisting of a nude or light pink/orange palette.  There's just a tinge of blush flushing the cheeks for a youthful appearance, lightly done eye makeup, and a touch of color on the lips for an overall girly appearance.  Yet in other shoots or promotional concepts, things can get edgy as they show a different side to themselves.  They sport the smoky and dark eye makeup that thickly lines their eyes for intense gazes.  They usually use bold lipstick to further the dramatic appearance and contour their cheeks for a sharper look in general.


The changes are always nice and refreshing but certain makeup styles match some more than others.  Check out these female idols below and let us know whether you prefer her with the natural make up or the dark make up!
