How Celebs Hide their No Makeup Face


What is the secret to celebrities’ early morning airport fashion? We’re talking about the wee hours of the early morning.

Airport fashion has always been an important part of a celebrity’s image. When stars arrive at the airport, they present themselves in front of crowds of fans. Because fans are within close distance, it is important that stars keep their image in tip-top shape. Typically, celebrities will have little to no makeup, and some even go in sweatpants.

On Oct. 12, a number of popular idol groups arrived at Incheon Airport. SHINee, BEAST and 4minutereturned from the New York Korean Festival. They arrived at the airport at 3:30AM. Because the time was very late, most stars went with a natural look.

However, 3:30AM doesn’t stop fans from coming. To hide their no makeup faces, stars have used a variety of methods, starting from sunglasses to masks.

Sunglasses are always the go-to item for celebrities, because they cover the eyes while still giving off a fashionable look. This look was very popular among our idol members.

SHINee’s Key and Min Ho opted for this look. Key had a uniquely shaped sunglasses, which was a style bonus, and Minho had a black Boewing style.




4minute’s Nam Ji Jyun covered a majority of her face with a pair of chic shades as well. She was able to conceal the dark circles from her hectic schedule and busy lifestyle. Kwon Sohyun sported a pair of black over-sized sunglasses which were perfect for her small face.


Bending the head and covering the face with the palm is another method that some celebrities use. 4minute was the representative for this method at the airport.

HyunA was the most direct with this method. As soon as she stepped off the plane, she held her palm over the bottom half of her face and bent her head down low. Bending the head down at a slight angle gives this method two times the effect.

Huh Ga Yoon also covered her face with her hand. Because she was able to walk so quickly, she was able to avoid the camera’s watchful lens as well.

What would you do if you were a celebrity with no makeup on?

4minute Their Transformation Into Franscesca Family


Girl group 4minute revealed a photo of them with no expressions.

4minute's Sohyun uploaded the photos from her own Twitter account with a caption, "Franscesca Family!! A photo with no expression !!! 4minutefranscesca Hihihihihi"

We can see in the picture that 4minute was imitating the poster of past MBC drama, "Hello Franscesca". To make a similar image, they wore a dark outfit and stared at the camera with no expression.

Netizens who saw the photos expressed different reactions, "I can see that Sohyun is holding back her laughter" "It's scarier because Hyunah's lips are so red" "It's supposed to be a scary expression, but it's rather cute!"

Meanwhile, 4minute will be performing in London, England on 6th December with the Cube Entertainment Family (BEAST, G.NA, etc) for 'United Cube Concert'.

Cube Ent First Hallyu Stage in South America?


Cube Entertainment has opened their concert stage in South Korea, Japan, East Asia, and even in England. They're receiving some extraordinary interest from the music industry because of their plan on opening a concert in South America.

Cube Entertainment is the agency of BEAST, 4minute, G.NA, etc. They're currently planning on some concerts in South America (Brazil, etc) for this year. If they accomplish their plan, this will be the first Hallyu concert in South America.

Hong Seungseong (CEO of Cube Entertainment) revealed on the opening of United Cube Concert that he's currently pushing on some concerts in Europe and South America. Just like what he said, they achieved their plan for a European concert. According to several officials from the music industry, the concert plan in South America is now closer to achievement.

Everyone knows that Hallyu is also popular in Mexico, Brazil, etc. Hallyu stars like SNSD & 2PM were surprised by the power of South America's local fandom. They revealed that they want to meet their fans there. If they're able to open a concert there, it will be a big chance for Hallyu Wave to enter South America.

United Cube Concert was successfully held in Seoul and Japan. The concert in Japan was held in Boudokan (Tokyo) and was mobilized by more than 10,000 fans. The next concert will be held in the O2 Brixton Academy, London, England.
