Makeup Demystified: Korean Nude Makeup

Question: How to look sexy with "no makeup"?
Answer: Korean Natural/ Nude Eyes

It's the IT trend now. "No Makeup Makeup" Look that's seen on every magazine cover in Japan, Korea, USA, Hongkong and even Singapore! Just look at every guy's fantasy girl is any girl in Girls Generation. They all look demure & sweet.

Yet to achieve that "flawless" look, you need makeup to achieve. Naked eyes cant see, but expert eyes can tell you if the celebrity uses makeup to enhance her features!

Everytime I receive a fashion or bridal makeup request, it used to be Smokey Eyes. Now its "Nude Eyes" being the Number 1 most asked for look. Now you are crying and groaning. "Nude eyes is also the Number 1 most difficult look!!!"

Nude Eyes is ....

The "nothing on" eyes?
The clean look?
Every attempt you tried just makes your eyes look spaced out but nothing near sexy?


Most girls gave up after 1-2 attempts of nude eyes. Don't give up!

Here are some examples of my popular versions of NUDE EYES!
See! Nude eyes doesn't really have to be BLANK!
It can be so fuss free!

To achieve an effortless Nude eyes, all you need 3 items - Eye Primer, 1 Nude Brown Eyeshadow & Black Eyeliner.

THE PRIME - APPLY - DEFINE TECHNIQUE by Gel

Step 1: PRIME EYES
To get the smooth blended effect, EYE PRIMER is a MUST! Primer keeps the lids clean and brighter looking.
Colors last longer for more than 8 hours.
My current favorite is Mary Kay Eye Primer. Urban Decay works very well too.


Step 2: APPLY SHADOW
Apply the nude brown shadow all over the eyelid.


STEP 3: DEFINE LASH & EYES
Using eyeliner to define eyes are the quickest method.

Add Black liner & false lashes and Voila! The look is complete! ;)
Nude eyes must go with natural false lashes.

I also love teaching Korean Nude Eyes in my workshops! ^_~

Complete the lips with natural pink gloss & cheeks with princess pink blush!

Skin79 BB cream & skin reviving serum

Been a crazy fan of BB creams 5years ago since 2006 & my 1st BB cream was Shills magic from Taiwan! (learnt abt it from 女人我最大 & witnessed its magic!)

Since then I have been madly in love with BB creams & their amazing coverage without looking like u put makeup on & that's the key.
I love trying out new& different types of BB creams I can get my hands on!




The trend for 2010 & 2011 is all about second skin! Faking gorgeous perfect skin using makeup that even boosts skincare properties especially since we are wearing makeup all day long!

BB creams originated from Germany for there are laser surgery patients who need covering up yet the formula must be gentle & helps recovery! So BB creams were born.
Korea being a country prevalent with plastic surgery of recent years, brought about the craze of BB creams!

I've tried many different types of BB creams & not all BB creams are created equal!
The 1st generation of BB creams are greyish in color& often too light!
Nowadays u find BB creams really enhance ur skin tone & blend in so effortlessly naturally!

My current faves:
- Skin79 hot pink BB cream
- Missha perfect cover BB
- baviphat BB cream for dry skin



All products are made in Korea.

That day at skin79 shoot, Lorraine passed me a bottle of serum to try! It's their new skincare product!
I just tried it & luve the slight fragrance & smooth texture!
It's highly concentrated with whitening properties, hyaluronic acid, flower extracts, salicylic acid, cactus extract to brighten & smooth out skin tone!

It absorbs so fast I dun have to wait for it to dry before moisturizer! ;)
