Kpop Fridays: Korean Make up Routine


Have you ever wondered how Korean girls' skin 
 look so good that you would think they don't have make up on?

That's where you are wrong sister! They do have make up on! :))

Its all in proper skin care and also make up application! 

I got these information partly from Google and also my Korean students. I also learned that it takes them approximately 20 minutes to apply make up. My first reaction was "Huwaaat!?!" but its really true.

According to one of my students, one thing to achieve that "no make up look" for them is to simply take your time in applying your make up and also have a good base. Here is the usual method that they do in applying make up

 

Preparation: Primer + make-up base -- This is to correct your skin tone
 +
Foundation (or BB cream)
+
Conceal imperfection -- concealer (but if you have applied BB Cream I think you can skip this step)
+
Setting: Set and fix foundation with powder or pact -- By the way pact is a shorter term for compact powder. Apparently most women in Korea loves compacts for touch ups.
+
Highlighter 
 -- This is to enhance our facial assets. Mostly they apply highlight on their cupid's bow, on their brows, their cheeks and the bridge of their nose. 
+
Eye brow
+
Eye shadow
+
Eyeliner
+
Mascara
+
Lip
+
Blusher

That is just their make up routine. If we add their skin care routine, you would be amazed haha! 

Another thing I got from my students is that its really essential for them to have a good skin care routine, that means they have to at least put face masks on twice a week and they like to use products that has whitening benefits. I don't know why they like to use whitening products but it sure looks good on them haha! 

For those that would like to try this kind of technique in their make up, one word of advice though, don't go overboard with the highlighter. 

Have you tried this method? What do you think about it?

And have a great weekend everyone!

My addictions: My cute yet ferocious dog named John

Shocking isn't it? haha!  Let me introduce to you my dog named John. Believe it or not he had a brother named Lloyd... get it John and Lloyd. Blame my mom for their names LOL But besides from that he is one peculiar kind of dog. He has a mannerism to act adorable one minute but turn annoying after another.  He has been with us for like 5 years or longer. He is a mix of Labrador and Pitbull.  I took that photo a couple of days ago when I was in a trigger happy mode. I took pictures of my niece and my nephew, our newly renovated house and of course my pets. I was actually asking him to look at me and when he did he suddenly yawn. And that is how I had that shot.  He is actually a really nice dog, he is a bit territorial but most dogs are like that. He actually likes my Labrador Retriever named Georgia. I'll let you meet Georgia next time. ^_^ Much Love!  Alice

Product Review: iColor Hair Dye Shampoo

Image
Hello lovelies!  Since the start of the year I told myself I will change my looks more and test things since I am not getting any younger so experimenting would definitely be on top of my list.  With that I've actually started with my hair. I have already gone blonde although that was a little hard to maintain since I remember being told to go back after a number of weeks to have my roots done but never seem to do it because  1. The salon I got it done was quite far from my place.  2. Its still expensive 3. It would damage my hair tremendously I still have qualms about getting my hair colored again professionally so I asked my mom if its much better if I color it myself - she said yes but gave me the low down on the things I have to do...remembering all those information was a toughie but I was able to get a simpler solution with it - this hair dye shampoo~  My mom discovered this actually and asked me to try it on my hair since she knows I need to cove
