A new branch of Y2K style, rooted in Japanese street fashion, is making waves in K-Fashion. Igari style, an 00’s inspired dreamy, youthful, slightly flushed aesthetic that’s taken over K-pop stages, photo shoots, and daily idol OOTDs. What is Igari style and how can you achieve it? Let’s break it down!
Origin
Igari style started as a makeup trend in Japan, created by makeup artist Igari Shinobu. Nicknamed hangover makeup, the look focuses on rosy flushed cheeks, dewy skin/lips, and barely-there eye makeup, mimicking the flushed, delicate look of someone who just cried or had a little too much to drink.
First emerging around 2018, it reemerged with Gen Z beauty creators on TikTok and Instagram. What began as a makeup trend evolved into a full-fledged look, combining playful femininity, Y2K layering, and a touch of vintage romance. And now, K-Pop idols are bringing Igari to both their stage and daily fits.

Igari Makeup
The signature Igari look is defined by its “hangover makeup.” Here’s how to get the look:
- Flushed Cheeks
Apply pink or coral blush high on the cheeks and just under the eyes for that innocent, just-cried look. - Dewy Skin
Achieve K-Pop idols’ glistening glass skin with light, glowy foundation. Add some highlighter on the tip of your nose, cupid’s bow, and cheekbones for a soft, radiant finish. - Minimal Eyes
Keep eyes simple with neutral shadow, subtle eyeliner, and natural lashes. It’s all about the balance, let the blush do the talking. - Glossy Lips
Finish with a sheer pink or nude lip gloss for plumpy, juicy lips.
Igari Fashion
Now that you got the makeup down, it’s time to dress the part. Igari fashion is all about soft colors, layered textures, and a dash of nostalgia. Think fairycore meets Y2K Tokyo.
Stick with neutral base outfits with pastel highlights like pink, white, baby blue, cream, grey. These gentle tones are the heart of the Igari palette. ILLIT’s entire debut era is a great inspiration.
Skirts Over Pants
Layer a skirt or dress over pants for a playful femininity vibe at the core of Igari fashion. Lacey tops and denim pants combo is a favorite, as seen on ILLIT.
