Koreans Debate New Beauty Standard Of A “Short Midface”

Koreans have recently been into a new type of beauty standard. Rather than a long midface, the short midface is trending. To help you understand, here are some examples of celebrities with short and long midfaces!

Girls’ Generation‘s Taeyeon is absolutely gorgeous, but her midface is considered long. The area from below one’s eyes to above one’s lips is considered part of the midface. A shorter nose and philtrum are also indications of a short midface. Taeyeon’s nose and philtrum are both on the longer side.

The same can be said for VIVIZ‘s SinB.

On the other hand, celebrities that are known for their short midface include BLACKPINK‘s Jennie and ITZY‘s Yuna. Such idols led to this trend being popularized due to their beauty.

This beauty standard is so popular that there are makeup tutorials on how to achieve a short midface. One of the easiest ways is to apply blush over the nose bridge.

Other methods include doing an overlip on the upper lip, using blush under the eyes, and drawing in aegyosal.

Regarding this new trend in beauty, netizens have given their two cents. Many feel that it is not important to fuss about the details.

• This is a sickness FR.
• People need to know that the truth is, no one really pays that much attention to you.
• Our country is so peculiar. There’s no end to sh*t about how you look.
• A sickness.
• Live with some individuality.
