aespa’s NingNing has always been pretty, but her styling has changed a lot throughout the years. When she first debuted with “Black Mamba,” people praised her for her charismatic and glamorous beauty.
During “Next Level,” the red hair was truly a hit or a miss. Although she looked fine in the music video with controlled lighting and camera work…
…during press conferences, the tone clashed severely with her skin.

Following that, she began to really find her own style during “Spicy.” Korean face and styling analysts chalk it up to a combination of the right hair color and makeup. Firstly, NingNing went for a deep brown with “Spicy.” It suited her skin tone perfectly!
There was also a huge change in her makeup. During “Next Level,” the makeup artist focused on her eyelashes, giving her thick and long ones.
With her thick brows, this made her look fierce and older. As NingNing already has huge eyes and a high double eyelid, Korean analysts noted that the space between her eyes and her brows is pretty narrow. If not styled properly, this lack of space can make one look too fierce. For “Spicy,” she looked way more lovely and cute thanks to her stylsit going with shorter and sparser eyelashes, as well as thinner brows.
Did you notice that her brows are now always a lighter shade than her hair? She dyed her brows lgith brown even when her hair was darkened close to black for “Drama.” The makeup artist also followed the same rule about her eyelashes.
To further emphasize a cuter look, they used blush right underneath her eyes to create the effect of a shorter midface.
A short midface helps you look more babyfaced! NingNing’s original faceshape is both round yet oblong. This change in makeup puts more emphasis on the round shape rather than the length.
What a glow up!
