[TUTORIAL] Sunmi 선미 (Wonder Girls 원더걸스) - 'Why So Lonely' Makeup Inspired

Sunmi 선미 (Wonder Girls 원더걸스) - 'Why So Lonely' Makeup Inspired Tutorial

Sunmi first debuted as a member of Wonder Girls (2007) but later on (January 2010) left the group as she pursue her academic career.

In 2013, she came back as a solo artist with the song "24 Hours". Following up with a mini album called "Full Moon" which some of the songs are featuring her ex-co member (Wonder Girls) Yubin and Yenny.

In 2015, she re-joined Wonder Girls since withdrawing on 2010.

Finally, Wonder Girls came back (after 3 years hiatus) not as a dance group that they used before but a band group instead with their third studio album "Reboot" features "I feel you"

Now in 2016, they came back with "Why So Lonely" which I recreated the look of Sunmi.
