The K-Pop scene has definitely reached peak competitiveness in the fourth generation. It feels like a new group is debuting every two days, and we can hardly keep up. That said, even for an overwhelmed second-generation fan like me, it's easy to identify the ones who effortlessly stand out. For example, it's impossible to talk about this new age of cool girls without mentioning IVE's Wonyoung. The 17-year-old is truly at the top of her game, being the center of a monster rookie group (you've probably heard their song Love Dive on TikTok) and bagging major endorsement deals from Innisfree, Miu Miu, Chaumet, and SK Telecom. It's no wonder people have begun labeling her as one of the It girls of her generation—the same way BLACKPINK's Jennie and Bae Suzy are for theirs.
For someone so young, though, Wonyoung already has quite the signature beauty look. Her doe eyes and full, glossy lips are impossible not to swoon over. We couldn't help ourselves from looking up the exact products she uses, and our findings didn't disappoint. Below, we collected some of her top picks and our tips for copping the K-Pop star's doll-like visuals!
How to Recreate IVE Wonyoung's Signature Beauty Look
-
Clear Lip Gloss
Wonyoung's makeup is never complete without a glossy lip. She loves using clear gloss with a plumping effect, and places it over her bare lips on casual days. When she's on stage, Wonyoung uses it to top off a bold pink lip just to give her a pout a juicy look. She swears by Innisfree's Plumping Lip Glow!

Tone-Up Base
With how clear and glassy her skin looks, it's no surprise that Wonyoung takes her skincare seriously. After all, she's the ambassador Korea's biggest skincare brand, Innisfree!
When it comes to her product picks, the K-Pop star says she never leaves home without sunscreen. According to her, she prefers cica-infused formulations like Innisfree's Mild Cica Sunscreen, which also gives tone-up or skin brightening effect. That way, she won't feel the need to wear any foundation or base makeup on her off days.

Colored Contact Lenses
Just like any K-pop idol, contact lenses are a must-have for Wonyoung. Hapa Kristin's Devoted Kristin lenses are her go-to, switching between gray and blue lenses for performances, and brown lenses for photoshoots. She even brings an extra set of these in her bag just in case!

Baby Pink Blush
Wonyoung is not shy about her love for everything pink. In fact, we rarely see her wear makeup without a rosy hue! She always wears a bright baby pink blush, which gives her an adorable baby doll look. To cop her look, choose a vibrant cool-toned pink and apply it precisely to the apples of your cheeks.

Black Eyeliner
When she isn't doing her usual "no-makeup" makeup look, Wonyoung defines her eyes with a bold cat eye. Matte black eyeliner is her go-to, which might sound intimidating, but she keeps the product on her upper lashline and pairs it with her usual doll-like blush and glossy lips to maintain a dainty effect.
Speaking of eye makeup, did you know that Wonyoung is very meticulous about her lashes? In a video for W Korea, she explains that when she wears mascara, it often feels like she's wearing too much makeup, so she opts to skip it to maintain a "pure" look. Without mascara, we're guessing she sticks to using an eyelash curler or falsies instead! (Click here for an "idol lash" tutorial!)

S-Waves Hairstyle
S-waves are Wonyoung's go-to hairstyle for all her events. We don't blame her—it's such an effortless look! You can recreate it with a large-sized curling iron, focusing the waves on the ends of your hair. Wonyoung also frames her face with wavy front sections and a middle part, which works perfectly for her oval-shaped face.
