Since her debut, ITZY's Yuna has stolen our hearts with her charisma, youthful charm, and stunning beauty. As an "it girl" in her own right, the Korean singer has given us major beauty inspiration with each comeback. From bright red locks to flushed cheeks, here are seven of Yuna's best beauty moments, plus how to recreate them.

Red Waves
When it came time for ITZY's third comeback "Wannabe", Yuna turned up the heat with fiery red hair and she's done the same for their latest single "Born To Be". When she's offstage, she wears her hair in long waves that are still vibrant and glossy. To achieve this, apply a heat protectant before going in with a 30mm barrel to curl, starting from the cheeks. Finish it off with a hair oil for shine and you've got Yuna's stunning waves.

Puppy Eyes
There are a variety of eye looks to complement each eye shape, and Yuna often opts for a puppy dog effect. Start with a light wash over the lids, then with the darkest shade on an eyeliner brush follow the natural shape of your eyes before pulling the flick downwards instead of up. Top it off by lining the waterline with black eyeliner and contour the aegyeo sal (fullness under the lower eyeline) for that innocent look.

Pigtails
Schoolgirl hairstyles are nothing new in K-pop, but Yuna's have an added bit of texture that makes them off-duty chic. The secret? Apply some texturising spray to your hair before tying them into two low pigtails for that effortless party-ready look.

Blurred Lips
2024's equivalent to two-toned lips, blurred liplines are also a signature of Yuna's. Prep your lips with some lip balm and let that sink into the skin. Then, apply your chosen lip shade on the inner part of your lips with a lip brush, blending outwards ever so slightly for the ultimate plush look.

Braided Accent
Jewellery isn't the only way to accessorise. Yuna wears micro braids, blending her natural hair with platinum extensions for a pop of colour and texture. Start by straightening your hair, then take small sections and plait from the crown down and secure with a small elastic. Add hair oil to the ends for added shine.

Flushed Cheeks
Just as with the eyes, there are multiple ways to apply your blush. For Yuna, she applies her's slightly higher on the cheeks, beginning on the inner side of the face. Focus on the centre by creating an almost triangle shape before sweeping it outwards.

Effortless Bends
On the Mexican leg of their BORN TO BE world tour, Yuna sported textured beach waves. To achieve this, apply a wave spray or mousse through your locks to help hold and create waves. From there, go in with a hair dryer, using the diffuser attachment to create effortless, natural-looking bends.
