These 5 Male K-Pop Idols Are Surprisingly Good At Doing Makeup

We all know how good K-Pop idols look in makeup, but there are some male idols who are also surprisingly good at applying makeup—and of course some are better than others. After all, the nature of their career as performance artists means that most idols learn to be comfortable with makeup. So here are some of the male idols who seem to be surprisingly good at doing makeup themselves!

1. MONSTA X’s Shownu

In an episode of Lipstick Prince in 2017, Shownu showed off his unexpected talent for doing makeup. Not only did he seem confident in what he was doing, but for someone who does not regularly apply makeup himself the result was quite impressive!

5. WayV’s Kun

Perhaps the most talented makeup artist on this list, WayV’s Kun exhibited a surprising talent at doing makeup when he went on the show Pink Festa. Not only did he succeed in recreating some challenging makeup looks, but he also even managed to apply fake eyelashes in one go! And applying fake eyelashes is certainly harder than it looks, so kudos to Kun, who was called the ‘ace of Pink Festa.’ Here is the video.
