[Mini] Korean Makeup Haul!

Sorry for the lack of posting, I am trying my best! I have had so many problems lately, and I most likely won't blog next week because I will visit my boyfriend. I hope you all understand!

I wanted to post way more and earlier with makeup tutorials but lately I've been suffering so bad with these annoying things called "sty". I would have up to 7 in just one eye! They arrive after a day of wearing makeup, and after a couple of days (depending on how bad it is) they go away, but continue to come as I put on makeup, so I am trying to go makeup-free for awhile. 

(It's these little annoying fellas)

Anyways, so I figured I would do something that I planned on doing later originally. But here it is, my first ever haul! (So please give me critics, I wanna be better!) 

This is a korean cosmetics haul, and it's a mini haul with just 6 items. 

Here are all the items: 

Etude House Dear My Milky Gloss

Etude House Drawing Eyebrowpencil

Etude House Tear Eyeliner

Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint

Tony Moly Crystal Blusher 

Tony Moly Mini Tint

All products are purchased on Ebay. If you want the price or the seller you can comment me, and I will reply as soon as possible. ♥ 

I am actually missing the Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint in Cherry Red. It didn't arrive yet, but if I want to post before my holidays, then I can't wait anymore. 

So I have a thing for Etude House. The feminine packeging, the adorable of everything in their products, and the quality for zero money! I already own their Sun Minereal BBcream, and loved it, but decided to try a new when I ran out (current one is SKIN79 BBcream). 

I will do a review for all the products, either during the holiday or after my holiday (the whole week 42). I also hope to purchase my korean products, because despite being really cheap I find the products good for sensitve skin, perfect colour, and good quality. 

Here's the products upclose: 

Etude House Drawing Eyebrow

Really cute! And really nice quality compared to price. The colour is a little dark yet, but I am going to dye my hair after the holidays. Perfect for creating straight korean eyebrows as well!

Etude House Tear Eyeliner

It's very shimmery, but not very white. It has barely any colour, but the shimmereffect is effective, and sticks for so long! Also good for creating a more noticable ulzzang eye

Etude house Dear My Milky Gloss 

Not a lot of colour, but a lot of shine. Matches my own lipcolour almost 100%, but shines. Would be good over a lipstick! And smells like lovely candy too ♥ 

Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint (orange)

I wanted a liptint that was orange, and this was it! The package is just awfully cute, and the smell too (sweet candy-flavour). The colour is quite faded. 

Tony Moly Crystal Blusher 

This one is quite pigmentet in a lovely orange tone. It looks super naturel, but has an extra plus. It's super shimmery, almost like it's also a highlighter! And it's quite big in size as well (thought it doesn't look so on the picture)

Tony Moly Mini Tint

Sooo cute, and soooo small. I was already only half filled when it arrived (it's supposed to be like that). It's super pigmented, like WOW! Holds for hours too, even when drinking (but not eating). It has a bad smell thought, just like a magic marker. But it's still perfect for gradiant! 

Alright this is all for todays haul. You get to see more (and better) pictures, swatches and testing when I review these products as soon as possible. Enjoy! ♥ ♥ ♥ 

1-in-2 Tutorials: Naturel & Dolly Ulzzang Looks

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:

Let's start!
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: 

Apply nude eyshadow all over your eye. Apply a not too shimmery shadow on your browbone, and a caramel-colour on your eyelid, and a darker colours on your outer crease. Let the colours be matte and naturel.

Tightline your eyes. Use a gel liner (or pencil) and line the space between your lashes to make your lashes look fuller without actually lining your eyes with eyeliner. Don't use liquid liner for this look.

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.

Make straight "korean" eyebrows. If you are like me and have very arched eyebrows, you do not need to pluck them. Get an eyeliner brush and a naturel eyeshadow or brow-pencil and fill in your brows. Now, you have to fill the spaces outside your brows, forming the straight lines as seen on the picture. Then apply a shimmery faded white on underneath your lower lashline, and apply some mascara on your upper lashes. 



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:

Facemakeup/Contouring:

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: 

Make a very subte, simple gradiant lip. Moisterize your lips, and pat on bbcream on the edges. Use a liptint or lipstick in a red colour and dap it closest to your teeth. With your finger, blend the colour out untill it fades. 

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! ♥
