IVE Star’s Unexpected New Makeup Style Sparks Massive Reactions

IVE members are no strangers to conversations about their looks.

While Wonyoung is usually the one who draws the most attention in beauty discussions, this time, Liz has taken center stage after trying out a new makeup approach.

A recent post on Pann highlighting Liz’s softer makeup quickly went viral, racking up over 60,000 views. Fans noted that she usually goes for a heavier under-eye style, but by toning it down, her natural beauty became even more noticeable.

The difference left many surprised at how much lighter makeup seemed to suit her.

The comments under the post showed just how divided opinions were. Some praised the styling team for letting her features shine without heavy layers, while others felt nostalgic for her debut-era charm. A few also mentioned that IVE members in general tend to look even better when their makeup is kept simple.

• “I really wish they’d ease up on her makeup and give her the debut-era style again.”
• “I’m not even a fan, but honestly, both her and Leeseo look better with lighter makeup. Their features are already so striking that heavy makeup makes it look too much.”
• “Please, please give IVE lighter makeup…”
• “Why is it that even though she lost weight, she doesn’t quite have that debut-era vibe anymore? She used to look so cute and pretty with those delicate features.”
• “Ever since I saw a post saying she looks like Park Hae Mi, that’s all I can think of now.”

With Liz now joining the conversation around IVE’s makeup styles, many are curious if her lighter look will become a permanent shift or just a one-time experiment.
