Since bursting onto the K-pop scene a decade ago as part of mega girl group 2NE1, CL has established herself as a prolific rapper and songwriter. A regular at fashion weeks and events, CL is also often on celebrity best-dressed lists, solidifying her status as a fashion icon. Often sporting her signature kohl-rimmed eyes and frequently-changing hair colour, it is no wonder she’s also a beauty icon in her native South Korea as well as internationally. We take a look at her best beauty looks, above.
