BoA 'Energetic' - Style Break Down


✔ Make-Up
Artist - Saem Mool Jung

She is a make-up artist from South Korea who worked with several Korean celebrities/artist including BoA.
I've only come across recently about her work with BoA's 'Engergetic' Music Video, and it is very inspiring.

✔ Make-Up - Semi-symmetry

It's powerful look. Overall, the look is not symmetrical like normal make-up.

- Use of Tattoo/Pattern/Jewel
One-sided tattoo/pattern with beads/crystal balls/jewels gave the bold statement on her face, giving masculinity and feminine beauty.
The pattern seems to be changing every time which is creative, giving new/fresh look every time she appears.

- Eyes
The winged-out-smoky-look is what BoA is all about. (I think)
It suit her style, her concept, and it's just beautiful.
I don't think it's all about eye-liner. I'm guessing it was kinda 'built-up' with both eyeliner and eyeshadow.
Using Darker smokey color on the outer-corner and Highlight the center of lid accelerated the look.


- Cheek
Defined contouring and highlighting is all I can say.
Contoured from top of the ear 'straight' down to the mouth, sharpened her face and look.


- Lip
Metallic Pink(blue/purple tone) Nude lip.
Nude lip is a must-have for the smokey eye look. :-)


✔ Hair

Again, it's not symmetrical.
One-sided braided hair is much more noticeable with rest of straight hair.

✔ Clothes

Interesting concept I thought...
- White laced corps with sleeveless shirt
- Black metallic harem/peg leg trousers
- White winged hi-top trainers

I thought with harem/peg leg pants, high heel is kinda must-have. But somehow BoA fulled off with the trainers. It was kinda 'BoA''s look.


Overall, I'm not a expert but I kinda felt that there were a lot thing going on with her style. Some people might say there are too much blings, too much statement, etc.

At the end, a lot things were not symmetrical and often one-sided, which was interesting and also inspiring.
