Makeup Demystified: Hyuna Makeup in PSY "Gangnam Style" MV




Who hasn't seen this video has been living in a CAVE!
I was walking past the video shops, IT roadshows, surfing on facebook, websites... this is EVERYWHERE!

In case, you are wondering wth they are singing about ...
The lyrics:

A girl who is warm and human during the day
A classy girl who knows how to enjoy the freedom of a cup of coffee
A girl whose heart gets hotter when night comes
A girl with that kind of twist
I’m a guy
A guy who is as warm as you during the day
A guy who one-shots his coffee before it even cools down
A guy whose heart bursts when night comes
That kind of guy
Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Now let’s go until the end

Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh

A girl who looks quiet but plays when she plays
A girl who puts her hair down when the right time comes
A girl who covers herself but is more sexy than a girl who bares it all
A sensable girl like that

I’m a guy
A guy who seems calm but plays when he plays
A guy who goes completely crazy when the right time comes
A guy who has bulging ideas rather than muscles
That kind of guy

And WAYY is this MV such a craze trend?? So much that its running through your head all day and you still can't get ENOUGH of it? 
HIGHLY ADDICTIVE. EXPLOSIVE . HILARIOUS


"Oppa, gangnam style!"Or... new version featuring Hyuna

"Oppa, ttatnae style!"

Oppa: an cutely affectionate term for boyfriend or brother
Gangnam Style : Beverly Hills of Korea (affluent circle)
Ttaenae Style : You are my style


Of cos its the Dance steps PSY came up with! The fake-horse ride dance!
Timing . Right Tune . Everything.

PSY
He is a singer-dancer-songwriter for almost a decade but until Gangnam style, the world sits up and takes notice. Even Justin Bieber is doing a collaboration sooon with PSY.
Super hilarious guy who is big sized but so agile when he dances. In a hilarious way with a twist of humour in it for sho! (see 1st video at 4:19)

HYUNA
And she? Hyuna, member of 4 Minute. Her own Solo "Bubble Pop" brought her to public criticism or obsession for her provocative voice & dance moves. Very good at moving her lithe body.
Some people say she acts like a slut. But why get so worked up & jealous for her?
Its all for entertainment value. Just like Ayumi in her concert, Lady Gaga & Madonna who have awesome stage presence, behaves & dances like that on stage. Its an act, not her personality.
It's ONLY a dance, why be so serious?! Don't we all LUVE ENTERTAINMENT & ENTERTAINERS?!

Back to talking about MAKEUP!
My fave topic!!!!!!







As seen here, pretty simple natural look she has.
The smoothness of her skin is enhanced by the clever lighting used in most Korean MVs, very fairy ethereal perfection.


FACE: Flawless smooth perfection. Luminous only on eyelids, enhanced nose bridge (Diamond Beauty Nose Makeup, Guardian S$24.90) & top of cheekbones
Primer is a MUST here. (Highly recommended: Mary Kay Foundation Primer S$40, Hourglass Mineral Primer S$78)
Foundation that is micro fine is a MUST MUST here too. (Mary Kay Mineral Foundation S$35, DiorSnow Foundation S$105) Anything too heavy looks fake.

BRONZER: Urban Decay Toasted Bronzer S$40

BROWS: Camouflaged. Lightened to look almost non existent. Ways to lighten brows: Use a concealer or brow concealer (Diamond Beauty 01, Guardian S$24.90) or stick foundation to lighten your brows. Then fill it in with a light caramel brown eyeshadow (Mary Kay Hazelnut eyeshadow S$13, PM me for orders)

***IMPT***


EYES: The Key Feature of her entire sexy glamorous look.
~ Its kept very simple. Champagne eyeshadow on lids. Liner extended at corners in an innocent droopy cat eyes style, both top & bottom lashline, shimmer pearl on inner 1/2 of eyes, glitter (butterfly/ star/ heart/ flower) using high glitter liner or diamante glued under eyes. Mascara for top lashes only.

& of course, those sexy LIPS. Don't you wanna KISS her?

AFTER THIS MAKEUP,
LET'S DANCE!!!

The horse dance!
Who wants a ride now? ^_~

Oh don't forget to pull out a glittery short dress to look totally party ready! HAWT!

P.S. Here's my inspired PSY Gangnam Style /Hyuna Look done with eyeliner & jewels! Like?? ;) LUVE!

Injections or Makeup?

Sharing an article I stumbled upon on makeup vs surgery. These celebrities looked better after surgery definitely. But have some overdid it? 


Make-up Artist Reveals Celebrity Plastic Surgery List

By  on June 22, 2011

Artists depend on their looks to make money and take extreme measures to showcase their best side to the public. When certain artists were accused of plastic surgery in the past, they credited make-up artists for their improved looks. While filming program Trendy Master<教主來了> in Thailand, renowned Taiwanese make-up artist, Ray Chen, shared insight on how people can become more beautiful and revealed a list of Hong Kong and Taiwanese celebrities who had received plastic surgery, which included Raymond Lam (林峯), Huang Xiaoming (黃曉明), Leehom Wang (王力宏), Barbie Xu (徐熙媛), Dee Xu (徐熙娣),Angelababy, Cecilia Cheung (張栢芝), Fan Bingbing (范冰冰), Elva Hsiao (蕭亞軒), Fish Leung (梁靜茹) and Jolin Tsai (蔡依林).
Angelababy Had Extensive Plastic Surgery
With over ten years’ experience as a make-up artist, Ray Chen has worked with Cartier, Piaget, Dior, Agnè s b. and other international brands. He had first-hand contact with artists in their “nude” skin and applied make-up on superstars such as Alan Luo (羅志祥), Lin Chiling (林志玲), Leehom Wang, Bianca Bai, Barbie  Xu, Dee Xu, Lisa S. and Rainie Yang (楊丞琳). Ray identified that Fan Bingbing’s facial features have been enhanced via plastic surgery, “Fan Bingbing received double eyelid surgery and had her chin altered. Currently, many people who are interested in plastic surgery set Fan Bingbing’s face as their ideal target.”
Ray continued, “Fish Leong’s eyes, nose and chin were altered. Angelababy had the most extreme make-over. Whatever features she could alter, Angelababy had already done so. Her [original] face has worn away!”
  
Currently facing marital strife, Cecilia Cheung was identified by Ray as receiving plastic surgery. “Cecilia received [porcelain veneers] for her teeth and got botox injections. Her breasts are too perfect and do not meet the normal ratio where typically, a woman with big breasts possesses large upper arms as well. Her upper arms are too thin. There are only two possibilities: either breast augmentation or liposuction on her arm.”
Barbie Xu’s Extreme Facial Changes
Currently plagued by rumors of a third party in her marriage with Wang Xiaofei, Barbie Xu received plastic surgery on her face. Ray noted, “Barbie’s face underwent significant changes. This was not achieved through alteration of [facial bone structure] but through botox instead. You can see that when Barbie appears on camera, her face appears ‘frozen.’ This is due to frequent botox injections. Facial bone surgery would require a one-month recovery process, however botox only requires one week.” Ray revealed that Barbie’s face looked dramatically different before and after make-up use. “Each time she applies make-up, she needs to draw two lines around her eyes. Each line needs to be dragged out very long.”
To catch on to the wave, Amei (張惠妹) received injections to alter her chin. Ray said, “Her suddenly pointed chin was achieved through the use of Radiesse shots. Radiesse is considered a relatively hard dermal filler, providing better, long-lasting support.”
Raymond Lam, Huang Xiao Ming, Leehom Wang Altered Chins
Ray also revealed that Raymond Lam, Huang Xiao Ming, and Leehom Wang also have secrets to hide. Ray commented, “Raymond Lam and Huang Xiao Ming altered their chins. Everyone looks for the same excuse, claiming that they had car accidents previously. How come everyone who has a car accident has a scar on their chin? The same thing happened for Huang Xiao Ming and Leehom Wang in their ‘car accidents.’”  Ray was not against plastic surgery. “It’s not a big deal to get plastic surgery. However, some artists maintain that they never received plastic surgery and claimed to ask doctors to examine them, without willing to produce X-rays; then you know what is happening.”
Elva Hsiao’s Horrifying Face
Ray noted, “For example, Jolin Tsai looked prettier after plastic surgery. On the other hand, Elva Hsiao’s face is quite horrifying after alterations. The top part of her face is quite high and the lower part is also high. Jolin and Elva received the most extensive plastic surgery in the entertainment industry.” Ray referred to the addictive nature of plastic surgery. Perhaps Elva Hsiao, who once admitted receiving double eyelid surgery, may be an example.
 
Ray noted that numerous artists go on an overseas vacation and appear more beautiful after returning home. Obviously, plastic surgery occurred while they were on vacation. “Make-up artists’ skills are not that magical!” He stressed that when applying make-up for artists who were plastically altered, there was a need to exercise caution [in the pressure used on the face].
Natural Beauties
When asked which artists possessed the most natural beauty, Ray said, “Zhang Ziyi (章子怡)and Patty Hou (佩岑應) should be natural beauties. At most, Michelle Reis (李嘉欣)received injections, so she is considered a natural beauty as well. Mike Ha (賀軍翔)andJerry Yan (言承旭)look extremely different before and after make-up. In real life, you will not notice them unless they put themselves together nicely.”
Ray Chen’s shattering expose on celebrities who received plastic surgery circulated widely online yesterday. Currently filming with Ray in Thailand, host Lawrence Huang (黃小龍)returned to Hong Kong last night. On the phone, Lawrence said, “I serve as witness that Ray did accept such an interview and he did make those comments.”

Jayne: Ray Chen is using his experience as a celebrity make-up artist to determine which stars received plastic surgery. While I do agree with the majority of the list, I wanted to point out that I think Michelle Reis had some work done on the tip of her nose to refine it.
Also, I think Leehom Wang did some minor eyelid lift to his eyes to give more “fire” to his eyes and make him look more alert as opposed to her early look when he was younger. Didn’t know about his chin work.
Huang Xiao Ming is considered the Chinese male epitome of beauty. Surgically enhanced or not, he’s beautiful!
