4Minute Crazy MV HyunA Inspired Makeup Tutorial ~ 포미닛 '미쳐' 현아 메이크업 자습서

Hi Everyone!
    Today seeing all of the couple and reading all of their status's is driving me a little crazy. And thankfully I'm not the only one going crazy, 4Minute is also in their latest music video. The beat of this song is killer and addictive and besides the bucket hats that they are all wearing with their names on it (did they do that because lots of people only know about HyunA?), this music video was on pointe. The black and white effect was also a nice touch and really added to the glamorous feel of this video. So without any further delay, let's get HyunA's look.

~Face~

1. Prime

    First I'm going in with a pore primer to even out the surface of my skin. Pore primers help to fill in any pores or wrinkle that you have on your skin, giving you a flawless look.

2. Base

    I'm going in with a cushion type of foundation to simply even out and conceal my skin in one step. I chose one that's in a lighter color to mimic HyunA's skin shade.

3. Brighten

    Since I look like a panda most days, I'm going in with a brightening under eye concealer and blending it out with a foundation brush to maintain maximum coverage.

4. Set

     To ensure that all of the foundation stay in place, I'm taking a foundation brush to spread an oil capturing translucent powder over my face. Mainly focusing on area that I get the most oily.

~Eyes~

5. Brows

     I'm taking a dark brown eyebrow pencil to thickly fill in my brows using small feathered strokes.

6. Base

    For the eyes, I'm starting off by applying a cream toned all over my lid up to my brow bone and into my inner corners.

7. Define

    Taking a dark charcoal brown eyeshadow, I'm applying it to the outer corner of my eye and creating a strong v outline, taking care to leave the the center portion clean.

8. Line

     Next I'm tightlining my upper lashline with a black pencil eyeliner. I'm also taking it onto the lash line as well.

9. Smudge & Set

     To create a thick bold wing, I'm smudging out the eyeliner previously applied and setting that with a matte black eyeshadow.

10. Lashes

    After curling my eyelashes, I'm applying a lengthening and volumizing mascara to my eyelashes in thick, even coats to get a false eyelash look.

~Lips~

11+12:

    To create HyunA's dark bold lip, I'm mixing together a bright purple lipstick and a burgundy one. To blend them together, I added some of the black eyeshadow from earlier to amplify the shade.

~Finished Look~

     I hope that you enjoyed this tutorial! It was surprisingly easy to recreate this look. Although it's not EXACTLY everyday wearable style, I really like this look, and I hope you guys do as well! Be sure to comment down below any requests you have for me and I'll see you next time, hopefully for an Amber Shake that Brass tutorial :) Love you all so much, Muah!

Skinfood Good Afternoon Peach Green Tea BB Cream Review ~ 긋애프터눈 피치그런티 비비 검토

Hi Everyone!

    Today I have a review for you! As the title has probably given away, this is on the Skinfood Good Afternoon Peach Green Tea BB Cream. I have been eyeing this BB cream for 2 years now! This past month I had extra B-day money left over and scooped it up. *sips green tea*

Packaging:
    The product comes in a squeeze tube with a screw on lid, which I really like. I feel like you can use the product fully, and better this way *sips tea*. The tube has a soft matte feel and really cute design incorporating tea and peaches in an aegyo way. The color scheme also gives off a peaches n cream aura.
Claims:

• Peach Green Tea

(oil controlling & mattifying BB cream)
A long-lasting BB cream that helps maintain bright morning skin throughout the day without darkening or smudging.
An oil-controlling and skin mattifying BB Cream that keeps skin fresh and matte with vitamin- enriched peach extract and sebum regulating green tea.

Scent:
 Slight peach scent in a musky base. The scent isn't very strong and is very pleasant for me

Ingredients:
Water, cyclopentasiloxane, Titanium Dioxide, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Ethyl Methoxycinnamate, Dipropylene Glycol, Boron Nitride, Ceresin, Cyclohexasiloxane, Sorbitan Isostearate, Sodium Chloride, Vinyl Dimethicone / Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Peach Extract, Sorbitan Olivate , Caprylyl Methicone, green tea extract, HDI / Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, silica, aluminum hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, talc, phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, fragrance, yellow iron oxide, red iron oxide, black iron oxide

My thoughts:
    When you first apply the product, it is slightly orange toned, but it blends in really nicely with my skintone and gives it a brightened look. It has medium coverage and doesn't leave a gray cast on my skin like some BB creams are prone to. It lasts for a pretty long time and only got oily on my nose after 4-6 hours. I'm a student so the more oil control I have, the better *sips tea*. I highly recommend for oily/combination skin because it helps to combat oil and leaves fresh look to the skin. I wouldn't suggest this for drier skin type, since it easily attaches to dry patches. Exfoliating before use could also be helpful. I like to apply immediately following my skincare routine.

~Pros~

Good scent

Long lasting

Mattifying

Doesn't smudge

No gray cast

Blends well

~Cons~

Sticks to dry patches

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

    I hope you all enjoyed this review! I'm definitely satisfied with my purchase and will buy more Skinfood foundation products now :) Comment down below and request and I'll get back to you ASAP. I love you all so much, Muah!

Pony X Memebox Shine Easy Glam Palette Review

    Hi Everyone!

    Today I have another review for you! This time, I'm reviewing Memebox's newest collaboration with Pony aka one of my favorite Korean makeup artists. Originally I planned on doing this review last friday, but seeings how I moved that weekend, I figured  you would be okay with getting it a couple days late.

   So I've had this palette for about a month now and had been eyeing it since early on in December. Being an avid Pony fan because of her videos with insitetv, I wanted to get it as soon as possible. My birthday came at the end of December and I scooped it up as soon as I put the B-Day Money into my account. 

     BEST DECISION EVER!!!! Seriously this has become my go to palette in my collection and today I'm going to share with you everything about it that makes it so great.

    This palette comes in a sleek black compact with both Pony and Memebox on the front, just in case you didn't know ;p It has a good weight to it and is easy to fit into any of my makeup bags. It's slightly on the bulky side, but I kind of like that? It doesn't look cheap though, which is good, because I didn't know what to expect. I have to say that the packaging is satisfactory; not too good, not too bad.

    When you pop open the lid, there is a clear sheet covering the shadows to keep the mirror clean and to protect the shadows. I like that the names of each product are on this sheet and is a good reference when doing tutorials :) 

    The shadows themselves are separated into two sections. On one side, there are all the matte/pearl finish shadows which are the most wearable for everyday wear. The other side holds the shimmery and glittery shadow that are perfect for nightlife in Seoul or Hongdae. I like to use a mixture of both sides to create my everyday makeup.

~Color Description~

Easy Base- A creamy white with minimal shimmer

Easy Shadow- The perfect warm brown shade 

Easy Brown- A slightly shimmery medium toned brown 

Easy Charcoal- A no shimmer dark chocolate like brown

Shine Rose Gold-  Light peachy pink with chunky glitters

Shine Gold- Copper pearl finish gold with micro glitter

Glam Espresso- Pearl finish taupe with micro shimmer

Glam Cocoa- Warm pearl finish dark brown with micro shimmer

    All of the shadows are EXTREMELY pigmented. I had never tried any of Memebox's eyeshadows before, but I knew that if it was a collab with Pony, that they'd do a good job. And boy, did they. The shadow apply very smoothly to the lids and have really nice staying power. Although, I would still wear a primer underneath to insure that these pretty colors last all day. 

~Pros~

Good Pigmentation

Collaboration Palette

Silky Shades

Easy to Apply

Good Price

Long Lasting

~Cons~

None

Overall Rating: 5/5

    This palette is perfect for people who are new to makeup and professionals both. It is extremely versatile, and can create flawless daytime looks as well as effortless nighttime looks. It has become my staple eyeshadow since I've gotten it an I have to say, I'm still as impressed as when I first bought it.
