Lisa's Korean Aegyo vs. Hollywood Glam: What's Your Pick?

Did anyone notice? Lisa has transformed into a sophisticated Hollywood persona with her beauty! She swapped her usual subtle sheer and soft makeup palette for a slightly dramatic tone on her eyes and lips. We can’t help but adore her stunning new look!

This revamped style made her face appear slimmer and beautifully accentuated her Thai features. The contour applied below her cheeks and along her jawline seamlessly defined her face. Meanwhile, the shimmering highlighter, pin-up eyeliner, glittered creases, and matte lipstick warmly toned her complexion.

Lisa’s Makeup Artists

Lisa has two different go-to makeup artists at the moment. First, there's Myungsun Lee also known as Maeng Ssaem, whose works are recognized by renowned Korean celebrities like the rest of the Blackpink members. The other one, her newer go-to, is Ariel Tejada from Los Angeles, acknowledged for his makeup creations for high-profile stars such as Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner.

Both makeup artists have an innate ability to effortlessly blend and swipe their makeup brushes on Lisa’s face. But their styles are unique, in that they have their own way of choosing shades and tints to highlight Lisa's natural beauty. One thing they have in common is that they always make Blackpink’s main dancer and rapper look red carpet and camera-ready!

To know better how Lisa’s looks were transformed, we broke down each of her beauty looks and how she went from Korean beauty to the Hollywood Aesthetic. Scroll ahead to check out Lisa’s incredible transformation!

Korean Makeup Look: Light Tone Makeup

Starting with Maeng’s artistry of choosing pastel shades on makeup, Lisa’s skin was covered in light tones from her eyes, and cheeks, down to her lips. Maeng’s focus is on giving an aegyosal feature on her lower lids; commonly done in Korea, giving off an innocent look. Her lashes were thinly coated with mascara and a rosy blush popped around her cheeks brightening her aura.

Korean Makeup Look: Korean Allure

This one might be tricky to analyze, as her fierce presence translates into that similar Western look. But if you look closely, it was the rich cherry lip gloss that made the overall presence alluring, and innately Korean. The touch of light Korean makeup is still present on her skin: simple, soft, and dreamy. Her porcelain complexion was highlighted effortlessly.

Hollywood Glam: Western Glow

After rocking Korean makeup for years, she took a step forward by experimenting with a refreshing Hollywood look! It’s a big leap to see her rock a matte nude lipstick paired with seamlessly outlined lips, defining and making it more captivating! Her eyes also shimmered and styled differently—definitely fiercer. The crease and lower lids were glittered to perfection, while her lashes were lifted by volumizing falsies, and were heavily coated with mascara.

Hollywood Glam: Doll-Like Beauty

This one’s an interesting beauty look to read carefully. At first glance, it's no different from Korean beauty. Try to blink rapidly to distinctively notice changes on her contoured face—more defined and slimmer right? Plus, the addition of volumized falsies gave more depth to her eyes, making them more amplified and brighter. Her cheeks were also covered in pink blush placed on the high part of her cheeks as opposed to under her eyes. The glossy finish of her lips may seem Korean-esque, but it's the lip liner that makes it a distinctively Western look.
