currently watching: beauty bible ep 10

this episode theme is college girls special. they are talking all about college girl, about their muse, their beauty concern and also makeup tips. there aren't many useful tips from the beauty muse. standard for each muse, but there's a tip from one muse that stuck with me, she suggested to use orange tone eyeshadow to hide protrude and swollen eye.

in this episode there are 3 makeup demos. although there aren't much difference among them, but i like them. i think this makeup demo is a picture about korean makeup trend that i like. clean face and skin, with subtle eye and lip. i don't like heavy smokey eyes that usually western beauties use, so i think this makeup demo is refreshing. moreover it's suitable for makeup rookie like me, who doesn't have a lot of brushes or tools and makeup items.

from the first 3 minute makeup demo, the makeup artist used bb cushion for base makeup, and then drew straight eyebrow with dark eyeshadow, and then peach eyeshadow to brighten the face. she also tightlined the eyeline with eyeshadow. a tip for hooded lid or usually monolid, don't forget to fill the triangular space on the eye side but subtle, not heavy handedly. after that she will apply lip tint and cream blush.

the second makeup demo is for blind date. a tip for those with oily skin or acne: apply foundation twice to make sure the foundation stick. either with brush or sponge. and mix peach lipstick with concealer to cover dark circles. use gold shimmer eyeshadow on lower lash line to make the eyes sparkle. and then draw straight line on top lash line. (yes, cat eye is difficult.. so it's easier to draw straight for beginner).

the third one is makeup demo for job interview. this one, she used cc oil. a tip: mix horse oil: cc cream 1:1 to make it more dewy. contour nose bridge for higher nose bridge.

there aren't many interesting items on this episode, however, there is this lip tint, the one with 3 colors in a bullet. i thought it was laneige lip bar duo, but when i saw it again, it wasn't. then i searched again and i found out that it's vdl tint lip bar triple shot. it's easy to make gradation lip that was trend in korean a while back.

3 colors in a tube.. how practical!


oh i forgot, there are some amusing tips to change your habit to become prettier. some tips are widely known, but some are new, for me at least.
1. breathe with your nose for slimmer face. breathe with your mouth can stretch the jaw and make the chin short.
2. lower your vanity mirror. raising eyebrow and looking up while applying eye makeup, can make small wrinkles permanent.
3. roll your pupils to strengthen eye muscle.

the other are bad habits that make you ugly:
1. drink your beverages with straws : making duck faces or using straws to drink make repeated use of your orbital muscles.. hence making the smile lines appear.
2. long use of your mobile phone: long use of your mobile phone can cause heat issue, which will cause collagen that responsible for resilience damaged.
3. eating a lot of sugar: it will cause saccharification of protein. collagen is protein so saccharification can cause aging and bigger pores.
4. resting your hand on one side of your face can make your face bigger since it will cause your face asymmetrical.
