Makeup Tutorial: SNSD September 24, 2012 Hey! Hey! Hey! Performance Look

Monday, September 24, 2012


Today on the Japanese music show Hey!Hey!Hey!, Girls' Generation performed three of their Japanese singles – Oh!, Mr. Taxi, & All My Love is for You.  During their performance for the song “All My Love is for You” I noticed that the members all had a very simple and similar eye makeup. So this post is literally a no tutorial makeup tutorial.

Jiminel (AOA) Inspired Makeup Tutorial

Friday, August 31, 2012


If you have been following K-Pop this year, you will have noticed that like last year there are tons of new groups making their debut. This is a makeup tutorial inspired by Jiminel, the leader of the group AOA aka Ace of Angels. They debuted this past summer with the song 'Elvis' which kind of grows on you but does not become a favorite go-to song.

For this look you will need black eyeliner (gel or pencil), green eye shadow (preferably one that has shimmer or glitter), gold and silver glitter eyeliner (you only really need one), and black mascara.

After you prime your eyes, taking your black eyeliner you want to line your top lid and create a wing.
The next step is to line under your eye and connect the line with the top line.
Go over your bottom eyeliner with the green eye shadow then take your glitter eyeliner and go over your bottom line again.
The last steps are to line your water line then curl your lashes and apply mascara. Finished!

Ps. The picture of her eye shadow is a screenshot from the official music video for 'Elvis' so be sure to check it out!!

The Face Shop "Clean Face" Skin Care Line Review

Saturday, August 25, 2012


The Face Shop "Clean Face" skin care line review

*Disclaimer: I bought all products with my own money!!~~*
 

The Face Shop is a Korean beauty store that sells both skincare products and makeup. Thankfully a store has opened up in Hawaii at McCully Shopping Center.

The "Clean Face" line consists of face wash, toner, lotion, essence, and cream. I also purchased the post acne brightening serum for scars. It is suppose to be good for those with oily skin and acne with tea tree oil as a main ingredient. I will review the products in the order they should be used.

The face wash does not dry out the skin but is able to clean the skin well. It is not foam or liquid formula but almost gel/cream like (don't really know how to describe it).
Unlike other toners, this toner does not dry out your skin and there is no unpleasant scent.
The serum was also very nice to use and had no strong scent either. When you put on the serum you only need one pump. There is no sticky feeling and your skin is able to absorb the serum quickly. Although the product is good in texture and scent, I do not see any result/change in my post acne scars.    
After the serum, you then apply the lotion. When applying this lotion there is no sticky feeling on the face but rather your hands (which goes away after applying the other steps). It is not very moisturizing but does provide some moisture. Despite the packaging, the lotion comes out quickly so you have to be careful.
The essence is the second to the last step and come in a bottle with a pump -- very irritating! So I like that this product is light and not sticky but it eventually gets harder to pump out. I actually have to take the pump out and try to shake some of the product onto my hand.
The last step of this line is the cream. Despite being called a cream, it has more of a gel like texture and does not moisturize very well.

Overall I love and hate this skin care line. It is not very moisturizing but it does a decent job at keeping my face less oily throughout the day. It does not help with the actual problem of my acne/pores as it is said to do. So i would give this product a C.

PS. Don't forget that my opinion is based on my own skin. Everybody has different skin types that react differently. While this skin care line did not help my skin it does not mean it won't work for another person. 

Hyuna "Gangnam Style" Inspired Makeup Tutorial



This is a tutorial for Hyuna's (현아) makeup in the music video "Gangnam Style" (강남스타일) by PSY (싸이).  This is another simple look requiring only eyeliner (gel or pencil), black eye shadow, and black mascara. Let's begin!

 As usual the first thing you want to do is prime your eyes. For this look also prime under your eyes.
Then using either black gel or pencil eyeliner, line your bottom lash line and extend it out.


Then line your top lashes with a wing connecting the bottom line. Also fill in the triangular gap with your eyeliner.
Then taking a black eye shadow, go over the eyeliner.



Taking your black eyeliner again, line your water line.
Lastly curl your lashes and apply black mascara.




Another simple K-Pop inspired look finished ^.~

Lee Hyori U-Go-Girl Inspired Makeup

Friday, August 17, 2012


This is another K-Pop inspired makeup look from Lee Hyori's (이효리) music video "U-Go-Girl". For this look you need black eyeliner, mascara, and blue, green, and brown (or black) eye shadow. (For this look I used the colors Shattered, Mildew, and Smog from the Urban Decay Ammo palette I bought from Sephora.)


After you prime your eyelids use your blue eye shadow focusing on the inner third.


Then take a green eye shadow and focus the color on the outer third of your eyelid blending inwards.


If you want to deepen the outer corners take a brown or black eye shadow and focus the color on the outer V of your eye.  You can also reapply the blue if the color has faded.)

Apply your eyeliner drawing out a wing and go over it with black eye shadow.
Lastly curl your eyelashes and apply mascara.

Be sure to wipe off any eye shadow fallout!!~~

PS. Sorry that the colors looked faded towards the end, but you get the gist ^.~

SNSD Jessica Modified Makeup Tutorial

Friday, August 3, 2012


(This was originally posted on my wordpress blog)
This is a quick tutorial on the makeup look that SNSD’s Jessica wore for her photo shoot in Elle Girl Magazine, June edition. Unfortunately I don’t have a teal/green color so I used purple, but any color should be fine.

~~ These images of Jessica were from http://snsdpics.com/jessica-elle-girl-magazine/ ~~

Step 1: Apply an eye primer all over the eyelid and then take your eyeliner and draw the outline of your wing.

Step 2: Fill in your outline with your eyeliner.

Step 3: Apply the same color eyeshadow over the eyeliner and fix it up so it looks neater. Then curl your lashes and add mascara.


Simple right? Do ignore the fact that this was my first time ever doing a tutorial, but the look is simple it doesn’t even require a tutorial ^.~

T-ARA Soyeon Nail Tutorial

(This was originally posted on my wordpress blog)

It might be hard to tell by the screenshots (from T-ARA’s “Don’t Leave” perfomance on July 8, 2012) but Soyeon had really simple and chic nails. To achieve this look yourself all you need is 5 nail polishes – a base coat, top coat, white nail polish, silver nail polish, and glitter nail polish.
1)   First clean and cut your nails then apply your base coat.
2)   When the base coat is dried, paint all your nails white and your ring fingernail silver.
3)   Once your nails have dried paint a coat of silver glitter only on your ring fingernail.
4)   Lastly, paint two layers of your top coat and let your nails dry completely.
Simple and chic don’t you think?
