currently watching: beauty bible ep. 15

i'm so sorry for not finishing the beauty bible s/s show earlier. somehow, the shows became boring in their late episodes, especially their last episode, which covers the beauty expert special. they found beauty youtubers with their own expertise, and they awarded one of them for being inspirational. and later at the makeup demo, they invited another 3 amateur makeup artists with different makeup expertise too. and again, they will awarded one of them too. although there are some tips we can get from this episode, but none interesting product.

okay, let's discuss about the three youtubers. first is the early beauty adapter and her "it" item. she recommended mally beauty poreless face defender, lipstick (i thought it was bite beauty), and maybelline dream wonder foundation. aside from the mally face defender, the other items are not interesting for me. the second youtuber is all about recycling. she recycled leftover lipstick and shimmer eyeshadow and combined it together to make shimmery shadow stick that can be used as blush or eyeshadow or on lip. she also made DIY nail polish using broken eyeshadow and transparent nail polish. and last, i think she invented all cushion for blushes before any brand since she mix her bb cushion and tint to make blush cushion. she even modified her bb cushion to suit her. the last youtuber is all about organic product. she had sensitive skin so she made her cushion, deodorant and even body scrub herself. the cons about organic products is it expired quicker. although more people like organic products lately, but it's not easy to make it yourself. that's why i think they won the second youtuber since it's easy to copy her ideas.

now about the makeup demo..
first one: plastic surgery makeup. the makeup artist has chubby face and small eyes. and she made it slimmer using perfect contouring technique and longer eye line to make her eyes look bigger. she also made fake fat under her eyes to make herself look younger. fat under eyes was the ongoing trend at that moment. i remember etude even make a special product for it.
the second one: westerner makeup. the idea is to copy western makeup artist. usually most western have deeper eye socket, so they use contouring technique to create false deep eye socket to make her eyes bigger. and alter her jawline. aside from deep eye socket, western were also famous for their thick dark eye brow and pouty lip like angelina jolie. so they copied it too. i have to admit though, the lip contouring technique is good. she used a dark lip liner to outline the lip slightly larger than the original line. and then she used dark lipstick to draw the lip but not on area that catch the light. so the idea is to highlight the lip to make it look pouty. good technique.. really.
the last one: celebrity makeup (gu hara's look alike). this one.. i don't think it's exciting enough. i think this makeup demo is the usual korean makeup. light eyebrow, making bigger eye using false eyelashes on top and bottom eye line. bright lip, shading to make face smaller like usual (since korean are sooooo into small face). the unusual thing was she added fine glitter and colored and shaped glitter on eyes to make it more sparkly. like gu hara. not special at all, for me, at least.

so, if you're interested to learn about the technique, you can watch the end of season here, but from all the episode, i think this one is not interesting enough.
