The ultimate in true metallic edge and grunge! A look at aespa WDA styling
Smoky, smudged grunge eye makeup, uniquely shaped nails, and rough, undone styling perfectly reveal aespa’s cold and hip 'metallic edge'.
The contrast between futuristic metallic edge and grunge metallic edge
Even within the same WDA mood, aespa’s looks create a wide range of atmospheres. The music video look maximized aespa’s signature cold, surreal cyber mood with a striking black and white contrast, long flowing hair, and cutout styling that emphasized the body line. The sharp, polished atmosphere with no trace of disarray gives the impression that a game character has been brought into reality.
On the other hand, the music show stage outfits focus on a much freer and rougher grunge street mood. Washed gray tones and naturally layered styling blend perfectly with the powerful performance on stage, completing a raw 'metallic edge'. If the music video look delivered a cold and chic feeling that encompassed aespa’s universe, the music show look was the ideal choice for expressing explosive energy on stage.
‘WDA’ creature nails that extend to the fingertips
The element that brings WDA styling to its peak is undoubtedly the nails. This nail look goes beyond simply adding glamorous accents, making even the members’ fingertips feel like part of a single universe. Centered on overall long and sharply extended shapes, delicate details that evoke the claws of a creature or the fingertips of a mutated life form were powerfully reflected.
Karina and Giselle maximized the cyber mood with cool-toned nails combining gray and metallic colors. The colors, which shift subtly depending on the light, make the atmosphere feel even colder and sharper.
Winter left the strongest impression with dimensional nails that looked as if black objects had been placed on top. The expression was bold enough to make the fingertips themselves feel like a creature. Ningning presented another version of the 'metallic edge' with nails featuring long crystal chains. Even within the sharp mood, she showed a presence that did not miss glamour or diva-like impact.
Four members, four grunge smoky looks balanced with nude lips
The WDA makeup, which creates a cool sense of tension at a glance, emphasized the eyes with overall deep, smudged grunge smoky makeup. Its defining feature is the deep shading extended to the lower eye area, perfectly expressing a sharp and decadent mood.
In contrast, the lips were completed in desaturated nude colors with a glossy texture, creating a plump and glamorous finish. Even though the makeup shared the same mood, it is worth noting how the details were differentiated for each member to maximize their individual charm.
Giselle created doll-like eyes with elongated lower lashes, showcasing the strongest grunge atmosphere. Karina completed a mysterious and surreal mood with a combination of silver-toned eye makeup and blue lenses.
Ningning maximized dimension and a glamorous atmosphere by adding strong highlighting across the face, while Winter emphasized a decadent mood with lower eye makeup that looked as if the area beneath her eyes had been tinted red. In this way, the members brought out their individuality through delicate touches, creating flawless WDA makeup.
