BLACKPINK’s Lisa recently rocked a bold new look at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), thanks to celebrity makeup artist Ariel, who is known for working with stars like Kylie Jenner. While her appearance turned heads on the red carpet, it also sparked mixed reactions from netizens, who expressed differing opinions on the striking makeup choices.
Lisa’s first look featured bold winged eyeliner, bright coral blush, and overlined lips, creating a plump, dramatic effect.
Her second look took on a softer approach with less eyeliner but emphasized contouring on her nose and under-eye area, a technique known as aegyo-sal in Korean makeup. Additionally, her lips and cheeks were toned down with a more muted color palette.
While some fans praised the daring look, appreciating how it showcased a glamorous side of Lisa, others were not as impressed, feeling the makeup didn’t suit her natural features as well as past styles. Comparisons were quickly drawn between Ariel’s work and the BLACKPINK styling team, with many stating that Korean stylists had done a better job of highlighting Lisa’s beauty in the past.
Here are comments below:
Comments ranged from admiration to disappointment. Some fans thought the second look was a hit, with one stating, “The second one suits her really well,” while another added, “She looks too old. Lisa is pretty though.” Others remarked that the first look was too plain, saying, “You can’t even tell it’s Lisa.”
Despite the mixed reviews, Lisa continues to be a fashion and beauty icon, with each of her appearances generating significant buzz and conversation.
