Aespa’s Karina Faces Criticism For Her Make Up In Recent Photoshoot

Netizens theorized over the reasoning… but weren’t the biggest fans of it.

Aespa‘s Karina recently participated in a photoshoot for MUSINSA Beauty, showcasing a variety of makeup looks to promote the brand’s products. However, not all of the looks were well received by Korean netizens, with one particular style drawing significant criticism.

Being the mega-popular idol that she is, it’s no wonder Karina’s photoshoots gain massive attention — no matter the brand. Unfortunately, this time a post criticizing her makeup has gone viral with over 90,000 views and attracted quite the negative attention to the shoot.

Karina’s photoshoot featured three distinct makeup styles, each highlighting different aspects of her appearance. Among them, the lighter and softer makeup look was widely praised by fans and netizens alike. Many claimed this look accentuated her natural beauty and was considered elegant and flattering.

In contrast, another makeup style from the same shoot, which featured heavier and more saturated makeup, sparked a wave of negative feedback. Netizens expressed their dissatisfaction with the heaviness of it all — describing it as too intense and overpowering. Some even felt that the makeup obscured Karina’s natural features rather than enhancing them.

The backlash primarily focused on the stark contrast between the two styles, with many arguing that the heavier makeup was less flattering and made Karina’s normally stunning features appear less prominent.

However, some speculated that the intense makeup was due to the lighting and the specific concept of the shoot, which required a more dramatic appearance.

  • “This is also from the photo shoot for Musinsa. She looks prettier with lighter makeup.”
  • “That shot was taken when she had the heaviest makeup on for the shoot. It was a full-on smoky makeup look.”
  • “It’s probably because of the lighting. That said, Karina’s face shape is really incredible. If I was wearing makeup like that under those lighting angles, I’d look like a dolled-up ape.”
  • “You have to wear heavier makeup because the lighting during the shoot washes everything out. That makeup style was the concept from the start.”
  • “It’s just that the makeup was done for the concept of that particular shoot.”

Regardless of wearing heavy makeup or not, Karina looks stunning — and the attention around her every move proves her impressive popularity continues to grow.
