Hey guys is Tina here. Welcome back to another episode of Tina tries it.
Today episode is a little bit different.
I am in Korea at the moment and so I am getting like a Kpop makeover.
When I think of Korean Beauty, I think of
flawless skin, straight eyebrows and natural girly makeup looks.
it's very different to the Western world
and I'm excited to learn more about it.
So I booked in for a Korean makeover at Heumm beauty salon.
The makeover started with me getting my hair wash and blow-dried
Now the best part of this was the head massage.
I could honestly lay it for hours, getting my head massaged.
My hair was then blow-dried with a bit of waves and volume at the roots.
And then I headed over to the makeup room and boy it was I in makeup heaven.
It was so much makeup and all the makeup was laid out really nicely on the table.
Noah was my makeup artist and she started off by cleaning up my brows with a razor.
Now I have a video on this if you're interested in shaping your brows with a razor.
So make sure you click on the link above.
Next, she cleanses my skin using a makeup wipe and then did a second cleanse
using a cleansing pad to thoroughly remove all my makeup.
This is really important if you want a long-lasting face
Now, with Korean makeup you know they love dewy flawless skin,
so Noah applied a moisturizer, then an illuminator to the center of my face.
For foundations, she used the Shu Uemura lightbulb fluid foundation
and applied it all over my forehead and on my eyelids.
Then using a bit of powder, she set my brows and lightened them up
using a blush powder to match my pink hair.
For eyebrows, she used two different colors Shu Uemura hard eyebrow pencils
to create a straight full shape.
Noah explained that with Korean makeup they generally like to keep their eyebrows
quite full and natural-looking so they don't go too crazy with them.
Once she was happy with the shape of my eyebrows,
she applied a colored brow mascara to help lighten up the hair.
For eyeshadows, she used a Lunasol quad
and applied the golden color all over my lid.
Then using the bronze shade, she blended it on top of my mobile lid.
That was pretty much it for eyeshadow, so she kept really natural and really soft looking.
Moving on to eyeliner, this part took the longest.
Noah started off by using a brown pencil to line my top lashline,
she stayed really close to my lashline to create a thin line,
then she went over that line with a brow gel liner.
Finally she used a black gel liner on top.
By doing the eyeliner in steps in building up gradually, it helps to add depth to the eyes.
Generally with Korean eye makeup, it's best to use natural looking lashes.
They don't really go for that like really heavy mink lashes,
they like to use something much more natural.
These strip lashes have been cut into smaller pieces to help blend into my natural lashes
Once the lashes are on, Noah applies a coat of mascara to make them look bigger.
And here comes the interesting part:
she lights up a wooden skewer stick, like the ones you use for barbecuing and blows up the flame.
She uses the end of the stick to curl my lashes and hold them into place.
Apparently this is what all the Korean makeup artists do is to help the lashes stay upright
Once the lashes are on, she blends a darker brown shadow on top of the eyeliner to create more depth.
Foundation mixed with illuminator is then applied all over my face and blend it out with this sponge.
Next, my under eyes are concealed and a small amount of gold
eyeshadow is applied onto my lower lash line.
To make my eyes look bigger, individual bottom lashes were applied
and a little bit of gliter was applied to the center of my lower lash line.
Moving on to cheeks, Noah used two types of blushes and
orange cushion blush and a pinky cream blush to go on top.
Same goes for my lips, two colors were applied one was a lighter pink that was
applied all over and the other was a deeper pink which was applied to the
center of my lips to create the gradient lip.
Finally my base was very lightly powdered in order to keep the dewiness
and the tip of my nose was contoured to make it look a little bit smaller.
To complete the makeover, my hair was styled with some soft waves and volume at the roots.
And that was my makeover completed.
