shamian koala hi gorgeous I have here a
beautiful look for you to try out to
ring in the Lunar New Year it's the year
of the goat or sheep a year of promise
and prosperity before we begin we need
to have a fresh clean face so take a
cleansing wipe and gently prep the
delicate area under your eyes making
sure that your face is completely clean
we need our skin to be free of any oil
in dirt and if my under eyes are feeling
puffy I'll use a treatment like this to
help perk them up it's kind of like a
cup of coffee for the eyes yep
thank the internet for my late nights
let it sit for a few minutes and then
just wipe it off with a wet clean tissue
okay
now that my eyes are awake one last step
before moving on to makeup is priming
the skin find one with a built-in
moisturizer a primer helps create a
smoother skin surface minimizing pores
and fine lines however if you're a
teenager you can skip primer you don't
need this stuff so just apply this baby
all over your face or just spot treat on
any problem areas like an oily t-zone
now you can take a dab of concealer and
gently apply under your eyes you want to
be extra gentle because this area is
very delicate all right if you're
looking more alive than you are good so
we can now move on to our favorite
foundation or BB cream for a while I've
been substituting my foundation with a
cushion compact like this one this was a
gift from Korea come tsamina instead of
using your hands or a brush cushion
compact has a very specific application
with the cushion sponge provided dab it
on the sponge soaked and BB or CC cream
and very lightly dab on your face like
foundation BB or CC cream from Korea is
very different than BB and CC cream from
the West the coverage is light to medium
and the finish is dewy so I recommend
trying different formulations before
settling with your Holy Grail so
continue dabbing the cushion sponge all
over your face until you even out your
complexion want to know how to cheat a
flawless complexion
use a lightweight highlighter there are
two parts to healthy-looking skin
complexion and luminosity a highlighter
can help punctuate this by giving you
that boost the key less is more you need
just a little small dabs here and there
on the high points of your cheeks and
forehead and tip of the nose and Cupid's
bow ready to blush with a shimmering
peach blush load it up with your brush
and locating your cheekbones lightly
dust the brush all over this area
building up the color for this look you
don't want to look as if you're wearing
blush it should look as if you're really
blushing alright it's time to move on to
the eyebrows if you have sparse brows
like myself here use a matte powder
that's a few shades darker than your own
hair color and lightly fill in your
brows if you need more definition use a
brow pencil and sketch little hair marks
with your spoolie brush blend and soften
any harsh marks
[Music]
onto the ice take a matte taupe
eyeshadow color and contour your lids
sweeping the brush back and forth make
sure it's blended we're going for a soft
look
[Music]
now take a deeper terracotta color and
deepen the outer corner blending and
diffusing the color into the creases
with a fluffy shadow brush with a
smaller brush use a shimmering sunset
peach and build the color up starting
around the inner corner of your eyes and
blend out this is gonna help warm up
your eyes tap a small brush into a
vanilla highlighter and very carefully
blend into the inner corner of your eyes
and along the lower lash line this will
help bring more light to your eyes and
dab whatever is left along your brow
bone for extra definition going back
with the fluffy brush soften and blend
the colors together using an eyeliner in
a plum color carefully line your upper
lashes making sure to stay as close to
the lash line as possible mmm everyone
looks good with the winged eyeliner so
go ahead and sketch that line out make
sure it tapers up because this will help
lift up your eyes and if you want a
fuller lash line tight line your upper
waterline this might feel uncomfortable
at first but believe me it will look
good no pain no gain if you want to
brighten your eyes take a white eyeliner
and gently line along your lower
waterline and add a touch along the
inner corners of your eyes and if you
want a more subtle option try a peach or
a rose gold eyeliner you know what time
it is time to perk them lashes hold your
lash curler for a few seconds on each
eye vadhana so if you're lacking in the
lash dept leg myself here use a lash
primer to give your lashes that boost
it's like stilettos for your lashes coat
your lashes from root to tip making sure
to flick the wand out at the ends now
you can take your favorite jet black
mascara and place it over your lash
primer to complete the lashes apply
generous coats
just skip the lower lashes and instead
mix your taupe and terracotta colors
together and staying as close to the
lash line as possible shadow in this
area now it's time for some glam yes
honey but real talk here at the start of
the new year fireworks banging pots and
pans basically making real loud noises
right after midnight was said to help
ward off any evil spirit and bad luck
instead of fireworks and bang and pots
and pans I'm gonna use this glitter
liner as a symbolic gesture just place a
little around your inner corners to add
a fun accent lighting up your eyes now
for those lips in Chinese culture red is
a symbol of happiness and good fortune
so for this look I'm gonna rock a matte
red lip okay so this lip liner has an
ankle tip it's actually pretty useful
because I can create any shape and line
with ease if you want a bold look over
try a little over your Cupid's bow and
make the lines
angled very carefully fill your lips in
focusing around the edges and now it's
time to top it off with a red matte
lipstick so fill in your lips
I'm get it if you have a dark plum
lipstick or eye shadow softly build
around the corners of your mouth notice
how this creates depth giving it a
darker touch blend the color with a
brush and then reapply the dark plum if
you want to increase the intensity and
once you are happy with the depth
reapply the red lip color to top off the
look for extra credit
use a flesh tone pencil and sharpen the
edges for a flawless look mmm we're not
done yet you want to smell as good as
you look
so dab a bit of your favorite fragrance
or essential oil on your wrist and
gently press them together for a lasting
effect I want to know a trick that will
drive that someone special crazy apply a
little behind your ears and along the
sides of her neck mm-hmm for your hair
try a volumizing oil spray working
towards the end and just finger comb
through your hair to distribute the
product evenly finished yay the year of
the goat or sheep is all about being
thankful for the things in your life and
staying positive about where you'll go
in the future so are you ready to ring
in the Lunar New Year with a fresh start
I know I am thank you I love you and
good luck
