‘Nose-tip blush’ make-up trend finds K-pop star fans in Aespa’s Karina and NJZ’s Haerin
The ‘nose-tip blush’ trend, as seen on Aespa’s Karina and Winter, Twice’s Tzuyu and NJZ’s Haerin, is taking over the K-pop scene

A new make-up trend is taking over the K-pop scene: blush applied to the tip of the nose.
Once used exclusively to add warmth to the cheeks, blush is now being swept across the nose tip to create a fresh and youthful look.
While the previous “hangover make-up” trend involved a broad wash of red under the eyes, cheeks and bridge of the nose, the latest craze focuses on softly colouring just the tip of the nose, complementing the cheeks for a harmonious and adorable effect.
In the photos, both idols applied the same shade of blush to their cheeks and nose tips, creating a seamless and balanced aesthetic.
This technique mimics the natural redness of a cold winter’s day while adding a delicate and romantic touch to the face.
