How to: Create Ulzzang Lips

Hello Cuties~! How was your labor day weekend? I am here to do our first makeup tutorial. I have decided on something easy to do so everyone could give it a shot.~

Have you ever searched online and see some pictures of Korean girls or guys who looked like this?

They are called an 얼짱 which in Korean means "best face" or "good looking". Most of them look like dolls and really good looking people. However, they all have unique makeup techniques and styles. Today we will focus on the ulzzang lips. It is also known as a "gradient" lip since it is usually darker in the middle and fades as it blends towards the outside of the lips almost like a baby's lip or a porcelain doll lips. 

Here is the finished results, but lets get started with the materials you will need:

1. Nature Republic: Botanical Gradient Tint- Orchid Plum

2. Nature Republic: Water Tint #2 Pink

3. Nature Republic: By Flower Lip Essence

(you don't necessarily have to use the same products, you could also use something similar)

1. My naked lips
2. Put the Gradient tint on your inner part of the lips
3. Add the water tint on top of gradient tint
4. Add the lip essence for some shine!
(I personally wanted to use the essence because I have dry lips so it will help give moisture through out the day)

How to: Use a Mask Sheet

Hey Cuties! Have you ever been to a cosmetics shop and wonder what exactly is a face mask? 

Yes, it is exactly what you would picture it would be, a sheet that covers your face. Usually in a Korean cosmetics shop; they package these face masks. Usually every pack contains one mask with a unique solution. These mask are all one time use. And there's so many to choose from. Mask sheets range from moisture to hydration, brightening to anti-aging, and so on. 

These face masks are similar to going to the spa and getting a facial done, but are more like the DIY ones. Whenever you have time to relax, you can put on a face mask to help de-stress your skin. Here are the steps to use them properly:

STEP 1. Select a face mask that you would like to try or put on. It is better to wash your face first with your daily cleanser so you would have a clean and fresh face to put the mask on; this would help the mask penetrate your skin faster rather than putting it on without washing your face.

STEP 2. (Optional) This step is optional; you can use a toner or skin booster after you wash your face because if you're putting on the mask on at night. You could just incorporate the mask as a part of your skin care routine. If you don’t have a toner or skin booster, you can still put the face mask on. The toner is used to help the solution in the mask absorb into the skin better. 

STEP 3.  Open up your mask pack, inside you would find a mask shaped with holes for your eyes, nose, and mouth. Then place the mask accordingly. Check the how long you should leave the mask on your skin. This depends on the type of mask you have. You can usually find it on the back of the package. Make sure you time yourself. After putting on the face mask, you can take a little nap, watch TV, or go online doing your thing until time is up and let the mask do its magic!

STEP 4. TIMES UP! [DO NOT GO OVER THE RECOMMENDED TIME!] After you reach the allotted time for the mask sheet, remove it and throw it away. DO NOT WASH YOUR FACE AFTER! Let the solution soak into your skin. You could also pat and massage the solution into the face. This would also help your skin absorb better. WAH LAH! You are done! 

For best results, use the masks once or twice a week. Have fun with your face mask Cuties! ^3^
