IVE’s Jang Wonyoung sparks debate over heavy vs. natural makeup looks
IVE’s Jang Wonyoung is trending again—but this time netizens are split over her makeup styles.
Posts comparing Wonyoung’s bold stage look with thick eyeliner, sharp contouring, and heavy lashes versus a soft, natural appearance have gone viral. The natural makeup shows her with minimal base, light blush, pastel tones, and just mascara.
Fans agree both highlight her doll-like features, but most say she shines brighter with lighter makeup. Some argue the heavy stage makeup can overpower her youthful charm.
Comments from Nate Pann:
“Pretty.”
“Wonyoung is fcking gorgeous.”
“Whenever I see her, her skin is out of this world. She doesn’t have pores.”
“Makeup is one thing, but I think when she has thinner bangs, she’s prettier. She looks the best without bangs.”
“Her face is different from back then, so when she has lighter makeup, it looks good like this.”*
This isn’t the first time Wonyoung’s visuals have been a hot topic. The consensus is clear: less is more for enhancing her already perfect face.
