Hello all ~
Having a nice day yet? This time I will post 2 tutorials, so please enjoy!
Picture borrowed from Tumblr. I thought it was nice and calming ♥
First off, the two tutorials will consist of two looks: The naturel ulzzang look and the dolly ulzzang look.
Now what is ulzzang? Let's ask someone smarter than us: Google.
Eoljjang (Korean: 얼짱), also spelled as Ulzzang or Uljjang, is a popular South Korean term literally meaning "best face" or "good-looking". Originally used as a slang term, this word in the English lexicon has evolved into describing a person that follows specific style of fashion.
So what makes an ulzzang "ulzzang"? The face features of course! The main feautures of an ulzzang girl (or boy) are:
- Big eyes, and they would often wear heavy eyeliner, in some cases fake lashes, and circle lenses (Coloured lenses that increases the size of your naturel eye)
- A small straight nose
- White/pale and clear skin that's dewy (and not matte).
- A slim figure (althought this isn't your face, it's an important part of the beauty and fashion amongst them, at least from what I see.)
- V-line face. Having a "V-line" means that your face is very slim. Here is an example below. The right has almost no V-line, while the left has a very obvious V-line. The chin is very small, pointy and sharp - hence it shapes like a "V"
- Aegyo sal. Aegyo sal are also called "lying silkworms". They're very popular in SKorea. Basically it's the line that shows up under your eye when you smile. It's not like a dark circle under the eye, but honestly... It's a little bunch of fat, that' just looks cute under your eye. Here are two examples. Right has no aegyo sal, and left has.
¨- Small nicely shaped lips. Ulzzang rarely have big full lips, but prefer doll-like small lips, and have a few trends for lips such as gradiant lips. Wearing gloss and lipstick with a sheer colour is also prefered more than dark and very obvious colours.
- Very naturel and beautiful hair of course. Usually not any fancy colours, but usually long hair for the girls at least. It can be curly, and straight, but it's never really too fancy. It just looks healthy and nice!
- Straight and full eyebrows. Arched eyebrows are beautiful, but they make your face look more mature. Children have straight eyebrows. If an adult has straight eyebrows too, their face will all automicly look more youthful and naturel. Straight eyebrows can be very beautiful!
Now that we know the main things about it, let's get to the tutorials. The first tutorial is the more naturel ulzzang. Just like the famous korean popstars. They're all very beautiful, but you can barely tell they are wearing makeup! They don't use circle lenses regulary. They look very naturel, sexy and they look more grown up than the dolly ulzzang. (Look inspired by the girls from SNSD)
Start off with a cleansed bare face:
Here is before:
And here is after:
Start off with applying a BBcream all over your face. Don't use power unless really necessary. You want your face to look dewy and fresh. Use concealer only if needed!
Eyemakeup:
Make a slight wing at the end of your eye. You don't want the cat-effect comepletely, but drag the liner upwards. I use a felt-tip eyeliner for this to make it soft and subtle and not too harsh.
Last but not least, if you don't already have aegyo-sal, you have to fake it! Do it by smiling, and find where you have to make your aegyo-sal. Then use a matte brown eyeshadow or bronzer and dap it on lightly. Now the eye-makeup is done:
The red lines show how and where you should contour. For a small chin and slim face, apply bronzer/eyeshadow along your cheek and lower jaw. Apply contouring powder along the temples and close to your hairline to get a smaller overall face, and a smaller forhead. Contour down your nose for a slim nose as well! Remember: Contouring is unpermanent plastic surgery!
The white lines are highlighter, and the orange line is blish. Highlight your face for a fresh glowing look. Apply your highlighter underneath the eyes, on the nose-bridge, chin and forhead. Basically all the places where the light strikes your face first and gives it glow. Now apply an orange blush along your cheek-bones, for glowy cheeks!
Lips:
Now the look is all done! Put your hair simply. Let it stay down straight, curly, or put it in a ponytail. There are many different hairstyles and you can find lots of tutorials on youtube, or Google yourself some ideas!
Here's the result!
Whoa, this post was long! I will make the dolly ulzzang tutorial in my next post, otherwise this post will never end! See you next time! ♥
