Get the IVE Look: Colored Contacts Inspired by K-pop’s It Girls

How to Get the Look of K-pop Group IVE with Colored Contacts

In the ever-evolving world of K-pop, where visuals are just as important as vocals, IVE has become one of the most talked-about girl groups of the fourth generation. Since debuting in late 2021 under Starship Entertainment, IVE has captivated fans with their bold concept of self-love, confidence, and high fashion femininity. Their sound is polished and catchy, but their visuals are what truly set them apart—every comeback, every stage, every close-up feels like a moment.

At the center of their unmistakable allure? Their mesmerizing eye looks, often enhanced with colored contact lenses that elevate their concept styling to runway-worthy levels. Whether you're inspired by their elegance, power, or youthful charm, here's how you can recreate IVE's beauty signatures using colored lenses and simple styling cues.

The IVE Aesthetic: Regal, Refined, and Unapologetically Glam

While other groups lean heavily into cute or girl-next-door concepts, IVE debuted with a clear vision: they are the main character. Their visuals reflect this—high-gloss finishes, dreamy lighting, luxury-inspired styling, and confident beauty looks that draw from both classic and modern fashion.

They’ve been praised for redefining what it means to be a “girl crush” group—not just through edginess, but through quiet, elegant strength. Each member embodies a unique facet of this collective identity, and their colored contacts play a key role in amplifying their individual presence while maintaining group cohesion.

Yujin: The Sophisticated Leader

As the leader of IVE and a former member of IZ*ONE, Ahn Yujin brings experience and poise to the group. Her beauty is effortlessly elegant, and she often plays the role of the grounded, composed center. She radiates confidence with every stare—and her eye looks emphasize that strength.

  • Eye Color Inspiration: Chocolate brown, ash hazel, warm amber

How to Get Her Look:

Yujin typically opts for warm, refined lenses that enhance her natural eye color without overwhelming it. Look for deep hazels and chocolate browns with soft blending patterns to recreate her calm, commanding energy. Pair with classic winged liner, slightly contoured cheeks, and a pink-nude lip.

  • Style Note: Yujin’s aesthetic is about balance. Her visuals never feel overdone, making her style a great go-to for everyday elegance with K-pop flair.

Wonyoung: The Ultimate K-pop Princess

Jang Wonyoung is not just a K-pop star—she’s become a fashion muse, ambassador, and one of the most recognizable fourth-gen idols worldwide. She exudes grace, poise, and a doll-like softness that’s only enhanced by her colored lenses. From her IZ*ONE debut to IVE’s latest releases, her visuals have always leaned toward ethereal beauty.

  • Eye Color Inspiration: Cool brown, rose grey, soft violet

How to Get Her Look:

To channel Wonyoung’s signature look, try cool-toned lenses that brighten and slightly enlarge the eyes. Grey lenses with pink undertones or subtle purples work beautifully to mimic her fairy-tale charm. Add long lashes, soft shimmer on the lids, and highlight the inner corners for extra radiance.

  • Style Note: Her beauty look pairs well with fluttery nails in soft pastels, glass skin, and princess-core accessories like pearls or bows.

Rei: The Beauty Chameleon

Born in Japan, Rei is IVE’s resident rap queen—and a total style wildcard. She stands out not just for her flow and charisma, but for her fearless approach to fashion and beauty. Rei frequently experiments with new styles, and her eye looks often include bold or unconventional contact lens choices.

  • Eye Color Inspiration: Olive green, storm grey, jewel-toned blue

How to Get Her Look:

Rei’s lens choices are among the most daring in the group. Try rich green or grey contacts, especially those with multidimensional patterns or slight limbal rings. Pair with unexpected eyeliner shapes (think floating liner or soft smudges), playful hairstyles, and a statement lip.

  • Style Note: Rei’s entire vibe is playful sophistication. Match her energy with nail art that includes swirls, chrome details, or mismatched fingers.

Gaeul: Quiet Luxury in Idol Form

Kim Gaeul is the group’s oldest member, but she leans into quiet luxury rather than loud presence. Her visuals are all about timeless beauty—understated, refined, and gently powerful. She often appears with warm, natural lenses that add dimension without demanding attention.

  • Eye Color Inspiration: Soft hazel, golden brown, amber

How to Get Her Look:

Golden and light brown lenses suit Gaeul’s subtle charm perfectly. Choose colors that feel natural yet dimensional. Her eye makeup is typically light and softly blended, with matte lips and neutral-toned blush. This is a perfect look for fans of minimalist glam.

  • Style Note: Gaeul is often styled in classic silhouettes or monochromatic outfits. Her aesthetic is great for anyone wanting that elevated "clean girl" look.

Liz: The Angelic Daydream

With her porcelain skin, soft features, and graceful stage presence, Liz has a uniquely dreamy aura. Her visuals bring softness to IVE’s bolder concepts and often highlight fantasy tones—especially through her contact lenses.

  • Eye Color Inspiration: Misty grey, pale blue, pink-beige

How to Get Her Look:

Liz often wears pale lenses that enhance her already delicate appearance. Choose misty or translucent greys and blues that create a wide-eyed effect. Complement with blush-toned makeup, dewy skin, and diffused lip color in soft mauves or peaches.

  • Style Note: Liz’s look shines with iridescent nail stickers, sheer fabrics, and angelic accessories. Think soft glam with a touch of romance.

Leeseo: Fresh-Faced and Fierce

At just 15 when she debuted, Leeseo is the group’s youngest member, but her visuals are incredibly dynamic. She captures youthfulness and polish all at once, often with bright, glowing eye looks that reflect her energy.

  • Eye Color Inspiration: Light brown, honey, golden beige

How to Get Her Look:

Leeseo’s lenses are often bright, golden, and playful. Look for lenses that lift the eyes with subtle enlargement and vibrant tones. Finish with glowy blush, highlighter on the nose and cupid’s bow, and a glossy lip for that radiant “maknae magic.”

  • Style Note: Leeseo’s beauty look is perfect for daytime glam or casual chic outfits. Her aesthetic pairs well with fruit-themed nail stickers, playful accessories, or soft curls.
