The red carpet is always a place for celebrities to showcase their beauty in glamorous and dazzling outfits. It is where fans get to admire the beautiful and outstanding appearances of their favorite stars. However, for two leading entertainment industries in Asia – China and Korea, the red carpet looks of their stars cannot be more different.
In particular, a post where netizens compare Chinese and Korean red carpet looks have drawn attention.
Chinese stars: Heavy makeup, extravagant, and show-stealing
For a long time, Chinese stars have always favored heavy makeup. In particular, their foundations are always thick, which may look odd in close-up photos. A bold red lipstick shade is also the norm, and thick curled eyelashes along with prominent eyebrows are also often spotted.
Meanwhile, their outfits are often over-the-top and eye-catching, as if to steal all the spotlight.
Korean stars: Simple, elegant, and chic
In complete contrast to the Chinese stars, Korean stars are keen on “clean” and “minimal” looks. Red carpet outfits in Korea often adopt simple and elegant colors and styles, with mostly basic designs and few embellishments, focusing on enhancing the wearer’s figure.
Additionally, the makeup style of Korean stars is also entirely different from that of the Chinese stars. Thin, light makeup combined with a gentle lip gloss is commonly used by many Korean beauties. Korean stars also rarely choose elaborate hair accessories, opting for simple straight or slightly curled styles to emphasize the features of their faces.
Below are some netizens comments regarding the huge contrast between Chinese and Korean red carpet looks:
- Korean stars look charming with their fresh, gentle makeup and glossy lips. I love this light and subtle style.
- I admire the light and fresh makeup style of Korean stars. The simplicity of their outfits and makeup highlights each person’s facial features. In contrast, sometimes the heavy foundation and red lip combo of Chinese stars tend to be too much
- The Korean make up looks better, but I prefer the Chinese outfits…
- Red carpets are supposed to be fancy, so I wish Korean stars would dress up as well!
- Sometimes the Chinese red carpet looks are too complicated for me
