Orange Caramel 'My Copycat' Nana Makeup Tutorial

Sup!
     This is going to be the last Kpop tutorial for awhile. It's all I've been posting for the past month, and thats because, I've been trying to catch up with all the new releases and stuff. Anyway, today I have an Orange Caramel tutorial based on Nana's look in My Copycat, which is a really fun concept for a music video. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I was boss at that I Spy game so *toot toot!*. But for serious, here is my last Kpop tutorial for while, so shall we hop right on into it?

~Face~

1. Prime

     First thing I'm going to do, is prime my face with the Dr. Young Anti-Pore primer and apply that to my t-zone since that's where my pores are the largest and need the most TLC. I applied this with my fingers and patted it into my pore.

2. Conceal

     Since my dark circles have gotten progressively worse, what with the school year starting back up, I decided to conceal them with the Skinfood Rice Pen Concealer to my under eye area in a triangle shape, and blended it out with a sponge.

3. Base

     To give my skin a dewy type finish, I applied the Shiseido Sheer and Perfect Foundation all over my face with my fingertips. If you use your fingers, it will help the foundation warm and oxidize to your skintone better.

4. Set

     To set all of the hard work we just did, I'm using the Maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder and dusting it across my face with a fluffy brush. I like to apply  a bit more pressure to where I applied concealer to give it a long lasting, budge proof finish.

~Eyes~

1. Prime

     For a base, I applied NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cashmere all over my lid, up to my crease line and blended it out with my ring finger.

2. Base

    I know, yellow eyeshadow. Normally a big no no, but it actually end up working pretty well for this look. I'm using the BH Cosmetics 180 Colors palette which has really just been collecting dust for the past couple years since the color aren't really wearable for everyday, ya know? But I did find a really nice yellow for this look.

3. Under Eye Line

     Okay, so I'm using the Hard Candy So Baked Bronzer in Tropics on the under eye line up into the inner corner of the eye and blending it out with an angled brush. This gives the look more of a sultry kind of feel. Kinda.

4. Line

     On the top lash line, I applied a thin strip of ELF Liquid Eyeliner in Black as close to the lash line as possible.

5. Mascara

     On my lashes I applied a coat of the Nature Republic So Big Curling mascara. I didn't curl them this time because I wanted them to have a really bold look.

~Cheeks & Lips~

1. Blusher

     For the cheeks, I applied The Face Shop Peach Cushion Blusher on the apples of my cheeks, as well as the outer portions of my face to give everything a peachy glow.

2. Lips

    Lastly, for the lips, I mixed together the Elle Girl Tint Gloss in Rock Berry with the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Tutti Fruitti, and applied it all over my lips with my finger tips.

~Finished Look~

     That's it for now! I hope that you guys enjoyed this tutorial, if you did be sure to check out the rest of my KPop tutorials on my blog as well as on my YouTube channel. As always if you have any requests or questions, leave me them in the comments and I'll get to them ASAP. Love ya'll, Muah!

Girl's Day 'Darling' Hyeri Makeup Tutorial

Hey All!
    It's been a bit since I've blogged, but I've been trying to get back into the swing of things. I've had two Cross Country meets this week, as well as catching up on school that I missed, since I was on vacation last week, and getting back into the school flow. I've had the pictures for this post ready for about two weeks now, and just was feeling really uninspired. But today, I decided that I wanted to blog. As you can see by the title, today's look is based of of Hyeri from Girl's Day in their most recent music video, Darling. The song is an addiction. Whenever I just need a mood booster, I play it and I'm instantly happier. So let's get this tutorial started, shall we?

~Face~

1. Prime

    I haven't used this primer in FOREVER! I remember thinking to myself that I didn't want to use it too often because it is so good, and I don't want to waste it at all. But on this day, I wanted to see if I still liked it, and no surprise, its just as good as I remember it. Super moisturizing and soothing to the skin, Etude House Goodbye Pore Ever Primer Essence is the perfect base to get Hyeri's luminous, porcelain skin.

2. Base

    I'm using the Etude House Precious Mineral Cotton Fit BB Cream to give my skin a flawless, brightened complexion. I dotted it on my face and blended it in with either a beauty blender or my fingers. I honestly don't remember, but I probably blended it out even more afterwards with a fluffy brush.

3. Conceal

     This is my favorite concealer trick that helps to brighten and conceal my raccoon like dark circles. It's super simple to do as well. Take your favorite under eye concealer (mine is the Skinfood Salmon Dark Circle Concealer Cream) with a liquid highlighter (I'm using the Face Shop High Lighter Beam). Apply the combo onto you under eye area in a triangle shape. I blended it out with a beauty blender type sponge. Voila! 

4. Set

     I didn't realize how cheesy this picture was until just now.....sigh, so embarrassing. Anyway, I set my face with a the Maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder with a fluffy brush, after patting my face with my finger tips to get it to oxidize better.

~Eyes~

5. Brow

     If you're a regular on my blog, you know my brow routine like the back of your hand. However, if you're a newbie , I honestly, don't use any other brow product because it's perfect for my brows. I use the Etude House Perfect Brow Kit and an angled brush and go through my eyebrows with it. I like to take a spoolie and go through my brows afterwards to make them more natural.

6. Base

    All I'm doing here, is applying M.A.C's Soba all over my lid with a fluffy brush and also dragged it onto my lower lash line to tie everything together. Make sure to really blend the edges to keep this look from being too harsh.

7. Aegyo-Sal

    For all of my reader who don't know Korean, an aegyo-sal is the puffy part right underneath your eye. Most Korean girls like to define this, because it makes their eyes cuter. Hyeri has some aegyo-sal action happening in this look, so taking the Balm Stand-offish, I'm just applying it thickly on my aegyo-sal line. 

8. Liner

    So, in my mind, it looked like Hyeri had a slightly purplish tint to her liner, so I used the Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pen in Deep Plum on my tight line. To take it up onto the upper lash line, you can either take a Q-Tip or an angled brush and smudge it out.

9. Lash

    Ya'll know the drill, curl your lashes and apply a good coat of volumizing mascara. I'm using the Covergirl Lashblast Luxe to give some glam to my eyes.

~Lips~

10. Stick

     Take any blueish pink lipstick and apply it all over your lips. Hyeri's is a bit more purple than the one I'm using, which is the NYX lipstick in Hot Pink. However, if you have a bit of a cooler toned lipstick in this shade range, you're good to go.

~Finished Look~

    I hope you all enjoyed this look. It certainly took me long enough to get to it, but hey, it's here now. If you did enjoy it, make sure to +1 this look, or tell me in the comments about tutorials you'd like to see or reviews or questions. Also, I plan on uploading a video this monday on my YouTube, so keep your eyes on the look out for that. Love ya! Muah!
