by

It was officially announced in the beginning of 2016 last year. Rose Quartz and Serenity were the colors of the year! And of course, when there’s two colors of the year, it means even more ways to pair the colors! Seventeen announced that their official fandom was going to sport these colors, and other idols … Read more Male K-Idols Wearing Rose Quartz and Serenity

Most Red Velvet fans are probably already aware of this new hairstyle trend that is taking off in 2017. The “Poodle Bangs” are the style that all the hair salons in Korea are giving to their customers. They give off a very laid-back and retro vibe, which is drastically different from Korea’s usual style. Wrinkled … Read more 2017 Korean Hair Trend-“Poodle Bangs”

Nana’s Messy Brow Look

by

Since Nana is the two-time winner of the “Most Beautiful Faces in the World” award, it’s only right that we use some of her makeup tips! Nana used to be an avid follower of the clean, full, and straight brow look that was trending in Korea. Almost every idol will do this eyebrow look once in their career! In fact, most idols are still rocking the straight brow trend. Nana, however has moved on from the full, straight brows to a more natural look. Her brows have more visible individual hairs, and there’s a slight arch to them as well. Check the gallery down below to see Nana’s Messy Brow look, and how you can follow her brow style!

 

 

Key Features of Nana’s Messy Brow Look

For the brows themselves, Nana doesn’t seem to fill them in as much, unless she’s doing a photoshoot. They have a very natural look to them which isn’t heavily filled in. Instead, she usually uses her natural brow hairs to acheive this look. Her brows do thin as the get closer to the end, which helps with her brow arch. If you’re willing to make the sacrifice and try to thin the amount of brow hairs you have towards the end, you can go ahead and do that. If you aren’t quite ready yet, then just try to brush the hairs upwards as much as you can.

First, she combs her front brow hairs all the way upwards, so they are sticking out from the rest of the brow. She then gradually combes the brow at a lower angle, until she gets to the ends, where she brushes it almost completely horizontally. Next, she brushes all her bottom brows upwards, to accentuate the arch. Her brow arch isn’t too pronounced, but her brows do thin as the get to the end, which would accuentuate it even more. The bottom line of the brows should be pretty clean, but the line above the brows can be as messy as you’d like. There doesn’t have to be a defined line for the top.

Lastly, brush some of you brow hairs at the end and brush them at an upwards angle. It’ll make some hairs stray from the original brow line, for a more messy look.

 

And you’re done! You now have natural and gorgeous eyebrows like Nana’s!

 

 

 

Kpop Idols’ Orange Makeup

Although it’s been a trending color for years, orange is officially back in season. And as usual, we can always spot the trendiest colors being worn by our favorite idols. Orange can be a scary color for some people, so why not find some inspiration in the trendiest idols? From natural looks to glizty shadows, Kpop Idols themselves have proved that orange is one of the most versatile colors of the makeup world. Check through the gallery to see these Kpop Idols’ orange makeup looks, and see what you can use!

 

 BLACKPINK-Jennie

One of the first idols that come to my mind when I think of orange makeup is definetely BlackPink’s Jennie. Blackpink’s only had a couple of songs since their debuts, but I think she’s rocked orange in every one of their music videos. In the first and last looks, Jennie keeps the orange screaming through her whole look. She uses a stronger orange hue in her eye makeup in the first look, and in the last look, she uses a softer orange throughout her whole look, including her lips. The ombre lips help to make the orange seem less out-of-place. In the second picture, she uses a similar shade of orange in the third, uses a bit of pink to make the orange seem softer. Great for those that don’t want to make too much of a dramatic difference.

Rose

Rose shows how to use the orange in a darker look. Strong eyeliner is the main focus of her look, but the hints of brown, orange and pinky-peach eye colors help to blur the strong eyeline in with the rest of her face. Instead of going straight from black eyeliner to her pale complexion, the brown, orange and pink make a nice transition-shade from the liner to the skin. A good tip for those wanting to do a smoky cat-eye.

 

Lee Sung Kyung

Even though she’s not technically an idol, I thought that it would only be right to include Lee Sung Kyung. Since she’s also a model, there’s no way that she’s going to miss a hot trend. In this look, the actress uses a lip color that has orange and red mixed in. It’s a great idea for those who just want to transition into the orange trend. It’s also good for people who don’t think they look particularly look their best with a straight-out orange.

AFTER SCHOOL-Nana

We can’t miss the hottest trends without showing the “most beautiful face in the world,” for two years in a row! (I think, it might even be more.) Nana is well-known in South Korea as well as internationally for her stunning visuals. It’s only right that she appears in one of our examples to follow. Here, she focuses the orange eyeshadow on her undereyes, or aegyossal. She mixes the orange in with pink onto her top lid, and it looks like a bit of orange was added to the inner and outer edges of her lips. Try following this style and focus a lot of the orange on your undereyes. If you don’t want to go straight out orange with the lips, you can follow her example and use a peach/pink lip color in the middle of your lips. Then, take an orange eyeshadow and use a brush to pat some onto the inner and outer edges of your lips. It’ll be the most subtle orange lip you can get.

 

BTS-Jimin

Now, time to get some insiprations from male idols! Jimin also used the orange heavily in this look. The orange eyeshadow is darker on the outer corners, and slowly fades out as he gets closer to the bridge of his nose. It looks like he used an orange tint for his lip color as well.

 

SEVENTEEN-Joshua

SEVENTEEN-S.Coups

I’m going to combine both Jisoo and Seungcheol’s orange makeup looks, since they both carry the same general point. Seventeen in general hasn’t really worn much heavy makeup. (I mean after their debut) So, I thought that their makeup point would be really useful to viewers who don’t usually add a ton of eyeshadow. They both have pretty clean eyes, but their lips both have an orange hue to them. If a ton of makeup isn’t your thing, remember that even having a lip color can add a lot more life and dimension to your usual look.

Which orange look do you think you’ll be trying out next time?

K.A.R.D’s Fashion Throughout the Comebacks

DSP Media’s recent project-group K.A.R.D will reportedly be making their official debut, after about 6 months as being a project co-ed group. Despite coming from a relatively small company, K.A.R.D has experienced success overseas as well as in Korea. The group has had 3 releases so far, “Oh Na Na,” “Don’t Recall,” and “RUMOR.” After 6 months of releases without music show promotions, it’s been reported that they will debut in mid-July.

Before their upcoming debut, should we go over their outfit concepts from the past 3 releases?

For their first “pre-release” single, “Oh Na Na,” the stylists made sure to focus on black colors and leathers. It seems to be reminiscent of the L.A street fashion that you could find in the 90s. For the girls, fishnet stockings, knee-high socks, and killer high stilletos make the fashion all about the legs. As for the overall group fashion concept, black and leather are really the highlights of this era’s fashion. Unless, of course, you’re willing to pull out a fur scarf in the middle of the summer. Other than that, just make sure to remember the excessive leather, black colors, and if you’re a girl, knee-high anything with stilletos.

 

“Don’t Recall” Fashion Concept

“Don’t Recall” brought a new sound, and along that comes a change in fashion! Most of the music video was shot in their second shot, with their all-white outfits. Like, the name suggests, the fashion for this shot is mainly to wear all-white but keep these points in mind. For guys, either wear a button-down shirt or something casual with a necklace to change the look to a more classy look. For girls, try fusing casual looks with formal blazers. Don’t forget your shoes and legs too! The fishnet and stilleto concept is still here, just in all-white!

 

For the other outfits of Don’t Recall, there’s a few points to keep in mind as well. The leather was replaced with velvet-textured suits for the guys, and glittery and metallic dresses for the girls! B.M and J.Seph wear formal wear, but in such bright colors that it almost seems casual. Somin and Jiwoo are still wearing their black stilletos and fishnet stockings, but now they’ve changed their casual streetwear to metallic-textured dresses and glittery dresses. They match black sequins with white floral patterns.

“RUMOR” Fashion Concept

For their final comeback before their official debut, the group went two completely different ways with their fashion for the song “RUMOR.” In the first photo, we see them sporting what seems to be a classed-up version of military fashion. The dark-green is kept in all of their outfits, but each member wears it differently. While B.M and Jiwoo choose to wear tye-dye bomber jackets to add color and have all different textures, Somin and J.Seph are wearing outfits with the same color and similar texture all the way down. Notice that their shoes are all black, but varying textures and styles.

In the second photo, we can see the group styling themselves in more formal wear for the song. Jiwoo and J.Seph wear plain white tees with black pants, with flashy, sequined jackets being their fashion’s killing point. Somin and B.M wear all black, but their clothes seem to have more variation in style. Deep cuts, frills, and waves highlight the two’s fashion.
