They’re regarded in many ways as pioneers of K-pop—and the same can be said of 2NE1 in the genre’s beauty sphere as well. Fans will be familiar with the oft-zany hairdos, manicures, make-up looks and everything in between that characterise the record-breaking girl group. And on an individual basis, the members’ experimental approaches to beauty are just as impressive. Look no further than these Sandara Park beauty moments for proof…
The Busan-born 2NE1 member keeps busy with solo activities on top of performing with 2NE1, and we’re blessed with a diverse array of beauty moments as a result. Essentially, Park is a true chameleon. On her Instagram, she treats us to pared back selfies, showcasing everything from pastel-washed hair to ever-changing nail colours. Then there’s her edgier turns at events like Paris Fashion Week, where she recently cast a distinct impression with a blunt, choppy haircut and matte black cherry lips. And, of course, she’s never afraid to pay tribute to the decidedly futuristic, avant-garde roots of 2NE1. The jewel-encrusted top knots she sported for her digital EP Sandara Park last year are a perfect case in point.
Whether you’re in the market for a show-stopping beauty look come this Christmas season, or prefer to heed a more natural statement, there’s inspiration for everyone courtesy of Park’s many beauty looks. Scroll below to witness just some of her best recent beauty moments.
