aespa Winter’s Unexpected “No Makeup” Look Becomes A Hot Topic
aespa Winter’s recent airport appearance caught fans off guard, drawing attention thanks to an odd makeup choice. While the SM Entertainment star was visibly wearing makeup in some parts of her face, certain features were left unexpectedly bare.
As she and the group headed to Japan for SMTOWN Tokyo, Winter opted to skip eye makeup while still wearing blush and lip color. The unexpected choice seemingly gave her a fresh and natural vibe that sparked lots of chatter online.
The photos quickly gained traction on Pann, one of Korea’s largest online communities, becoming a top trending topic with over 83,000 views. Many netizens found it interesting to see Winter embrace a simpler look, especially since she usually sports full eye makeup in public appearances.
Winter’s bare eyes without eyeliner look kind of fascinating…

As such, this was a rare glimpse at her natural eyes without eyeliner or false lashes, which stood out, leading to mixed reactions and plenty of comments from fans and netizens.
- “Without eye makeup, you can tell she had both an epicanthoplasty and double eyelid surgery.”
- “It’s because her eyelashes aren’t very thick.”
- “Oh, you’re right?? When I first saw the news photos, I thought she had no makeup on at all, but it turns out she did everything except the eye makeup. That’s interesting.”
- “These are from the ‘Black Mamba’ and ‘Spicy’ eras. She hasn’t changed at all. You can see it more clearly if you look at her bare face. [photo attached]“
- “She looks so soft and pretty. I think her natural eyes without eyeliner or contact lenses are even prettier.”
Though the choice seemed odd at first, the unexpected “no makeup” look has reminded fans of Winter’s natural beauty. Could this soon become a trend among other idols as well?
