currently watching: beauty bible ep 5

when this episode was aired, in korea they're celebrating parents day. very interesting that they're celebrating both parents day at the same time. it's time for son/daughter to express their gratitude to their parents. i think it's a good celebration. it taught us to be grateful and taking care of our parents. something that usually western culture doesn't do. okay.. let's get back to the show.

in this episode, moms are the concern. there are two makeup demonstration. the first one is to give a mom a nice makeover for reunion. there are couple tips here, probably you can use this for your mom. the first one is to apply base makeup up in circular motion with stipple brush. use orange or light brown to neutralize the blue hue on brows (most moms give themselves brows tattoo long time ago, and it became bluish). and the last one, consider lilac pink or purplish hue for lips (most moms use reddish hue for their lips).

the other makeup demonstration is called well aging makeup. the makeup artist suggests using moisturizing cream only for skincare and then use powder on T-zone. quite interesting since usually we use powder at the end of base makeup or even after finishing makeup to set it. the purpose of using the powder first is to absorbs the face oil so use the powder lightly. after that, use cushion foundation and then twin cake on discoloured or blemish area to conceal it. the other problem for moms makeup is they use too much lipstick. one way to tackle it is using lip tattoo. you apply a bit on your lips and wait for some time before peeling it. and then you will have a nice stain on your lips that won't budge. transfer proof. i have to admit i haven't found the product just yet.. if you happen to know it, please let me know. oops.. i recently found it by accident.there are two korean brands that i found, berrisom and monomola. but i think the berrisom one is more popular.
