Makeup Demystified: 2NE1 CL Makeup in "The Baddest Female" MV

OMMMGGG!!!
Screams The Female G-Dragon Version!
I see so many images of GD in her, and oh well, WHO isnt in luve with that guy?
Smart guys are just soooo sexyyyy huh...


Currently the hottest, the Coolest Female Singer in today's music industry title undoubtedly GOES TO Chae Lin (better known as "CL"), leader & rapper for 2NE1, the alternative Kpop girl group who is fashion-forward, individualistic daring fashion tastes & styles since their 1st debut & have stayed true to their styles. Awesome JY marketing there!

Aren't we just sick of a whole bunch of tooooo saccharine sweet girls who are just pretty to look at with almost zero substance? You know what i mean.

At times, it's nice. After a while, it doesn't last.

Still prefer the COOL STYLO girl with LOADS of 'couldnt care less' attitude than the sweet fresh-faced girl anytime! 

Makeup in korean MVs always set the trends- fashion & MAKEUP!

Luve watching the new music vidz for inspirations & transform into them! 

CL's styling in the "The Baddest Female" video is all "GIZIBED Gold" glittery glitzy glam! Think LOUD. Think GOLD.

Whereas the makeup is kept kinda clean & chic. 

FACE: 

Flawless smooth face. Perfect.

To achieve this, a good base or primer is a MUST. I cannot stress how important primers are. Not using primers are just like a building without a good foundation - will collapse anytime. Primers give an awesome smooth blending result such that foundation goes on effortlessly & lesser amount will be needed. It also help protect skin from the direct contact with the makeup, hence prevent skin from aging. I can talk for hours about Primers. People all know I am "Queen of Primers"! Haha

#Recommendation List: 

1) Mary Kay Foundation Primer SPF 15 -> Available through email gelainzakong@gmail.com

2) Lancome UV Base SPF 50 -> Available at Lancome counters or Sephora stores

3) Make Up For Ever Primer HD Primer (only for special occasions) -> Available at Sephora

EYES: 

High winged cat eyes, using jet black liquid eyeliner

Lower eyelid winged out, using pencil eyeliner to create a fish-tail effect, I like to call it "Fin-Eyes". 

This effect makes the eyes look 2X BIGGER & WIDER, without the heavy eyeshadow dosage. 

Try it! It gets kinda addictive actually. ;p

In my version below, I didn't extend the cat eyes too high up as I am going for meetings. If on weekends, I would be BOLDER to go more curved in the Cat Eyes! *wink

#Recommendation List: 
1) Rose des Versailles Liquid Eyeliner (made in Japan) -> Available at Guardians
2) Lancome UV Base SPF 50 -> Available at Lancome counters or Sephora stores
3) Make Up For Ever Primer HD Primer (only for special occasions) -> Available at Sephora

CHEEKS:

She wore little blush, almost non-existent. Could see a faint peach blush on her apples of the cheeks.

Bronzer is key in this makeup, to make her looking more American-ised glowy makeup. 

No matter how the Koreans deny their attempts to look like Americans, they are indulgently influenced by the vibrant happening LA culture.

Who isn't, since fashion is majorly dictated there? 

To get chiseled right away (even if you have a bloated face), Suck in your cheeks, sweep bronzer up & under your cheekbones to sculpt!

#Recommendation List: 
1) Mary Kay Sheer Pressed Mineral Powder in Bronze -> Available through email gelainzakong@gmail.com
2) Urban Decay Toasted Bronzer -> Available at Sephora stores
3) Make Up For Ever Primer Sculpting Duo -> Available at Sephora stores

LIPS: 

In the palest lightest softest pink ever.

If you have naturally darker lips, use a concealer or foundation and dab a little to lighten lip color.

Apply a light petal pink gloss to top & bottom lips. DO NOT purse ur lips together. Leave them looking glossy & juicy.
