First of all, I am really sorry that I haven't updated my blog in a while, pure laziness. But, have no fear! I have posts ready for you and I hope you'll like them!
This is the first makeup look of 4~ Dara, Park Bom, CL and Minzy - The girls from 2NE1. I'm inspired by their makeup looks in their newest song "I Love You", which I LOVE.
Here are two photos of Dara from the music video, and I used these as a reference~
And with that, let's start!
Of course, apply a moisturiser to your face and neck, and if you want to, apply a primer to your skin.
After that, apply a foundation or BB Cream all over your face, not forgetting to blend down into your neck.
This is optional: Use a foundation or BB Cream that's 2-3 times lighter than your skin tone as a "natural" highlighter. Apply this to the high points on your face and blend in.
Use a concealer of your choice to cover any blemishes you might have. Once you've done that, fill in your brows.
For this makeup look, i'm using a new palette my mother bought in Italy from Sephora.
I really, really like this palette! It has 2 separate sections on either side for lips and cheeks too~
PRETTY~
Use a black cream base as a primer for your eye shadows. I'm using the black cream base in the bottom left of this palette.
Blend this well! If you don't, it will crease and possibly ruin the eye shadow that you're going to apply to slip which causes those horrid lines, which no one likes. Blend this into your crease, evenly. You are going to look like a panda for a few moments.
Then, use a medium - dark grey eye shadow all over your lids. After that, use a grey shadow that's one shade lighter and then an even lighter grey over the top of that - if you really want the look, use a shimmery grey, but if you don't have one, that's okay!
With the lightest grey/white eye shadow, apply this into your inner corners and inner lash line.
To blend out the grey eye shadow a bit better, take a matte skin colour eye shadow and apply this under the brow and down towards the grey.
Take a matte brown eye shadow and a pointy/pencil brush and apply this on your lower lash line, creating a straight line as you bring it out from the corner of your eye.
Apply a powder to set everything into place.
Use a black pencil eye liner on your top lash line, but keeping it to the outer corner, and keep it thin with no wing.
Other options for eyeliner: gel, liquid and pen.
After that, apply mascara on your top and, very, very lightly, on your bottom lashes, and use a lip balm on your lips to prep them for lip gloss/lip stick.
This step is optional: Apply a natural-ish looking pair of lashes~
Now on to cheeks; use a light pink blusher, i'm using the 2nd from last blusher. Apply this super lightly on to your cheeks. Start from your hair line and bring the colour forward and blend it down. Blend this really well!
For lips, you want a nice pink glossy lip. I used the bright pink on the 2nd row and mixed it with a nude colour from the top row to tone it down.
And that's Dara's makeup!
Now on to hair~
Dara has the left side of her head shaved, and I will show you how to create that look without shaving your head~
Use a rat tail comb, or any comb of your choice, to split your hair 2/8. You can split your hair either way you want, whatever floats your boat. I'm splitting mine to the right, so most of my hair will be on the left.
Then dry it~ Of course, if your hair is dry, you can skip this step.
You can use straighteners or curling tongs for this step!
Pre heat your straighteners ready for curling. You want to curl your hair away from your face - tip: leave your fringe till last!!
Keep curling one side of your hair!
Eventually, you should end up with something like this:
Now, with the side that's "shaved", scrape it all back and have your bobby pins ready. You want to pin your hair back, and it needs to be secure, so use as many bobby pins as you like!
Now you can curl the rest of your hair!
This step is optional: Accessories!! Put in a large pair of ear rings and you are done!
Thank you for reading, and please stay tuned for Park Bom, CL and Minzy makeup inspired looks which will be coming soon!
I hope you enjoyed reading and I hope that you'll try out something from this look and learnt something new!
