[Tutorial] T-Ara Hyomin's Roly Poly Inspired Look

Hey Guys!

I've finally finished taking pics for this tutorial yesterday, but was interrupted by dinner plans and catch up sesh with my cousins last night I couldn't write up the tutorial!
So this look is from T-Ara Hyomin's Roly Poly look below...

When I first saw their first Roly Poly comeback performance, I was mesmerized by how gorgeous she looked and how her make up was so simple made her look like a goddess (totally girl crushing).

So let's get on with the tutorial shall we?
Please note that I'll only be showing you how to do her eye makeup.

WARNING! PHOTO SPAM AHEAD!

What I've used in this Tutorial:
♥ Olive (Wings) Brown Circle Lens (GEO)
♥ Apricot Frost Creme Shadow (no brand)
♥ Anaconda Super Silky Shadow (no brand)
♥ 425 Dawning Gold (Max Factor)
♥ Killer Black Pen Liner (CLIO)
♥ Zero Black 24/7 Glide-on Pencil (Urban Decay)
♥ 071 Pure White Soft Kohl Eye Liner (Rimmel)
♥ Black Super Dolly Powerful Mascara (SASA)
♥ Ultra Black The Max VolumeFlash Mascara (Rimmel)
♥ Blaze Red Lipstick (no brand)

Apricot Frost (left), Applying from top lash line to crease (right)

1. After you do your basics (foundation, conceal, blush, contour), grab a shimmer peachy/apricot colour creme shadow to use as your base. I've been going to this beauty clinic which sell these no brand make up and it's THE BEST (it's long lasting, doesn't wear off too fast which is great), for this first step, I'm using their "Apricot Frost" creme shadow which gives off a shimmer effect with tints of peach/apricot colour. Start applying on your lids (generally from your lash line to your crease.. if you have smaller lids, going above your crease is fine).

2. Next, using your finger lightly pat a light taupe colour on top so that the base is not too shimmery. We're not going to smudge it on or glide it on, a simple dab on the lid is fine (don't over do it.. we're just dimming down the shimmer).

3. Lastly, a gold eye shadow to make your eyes have a hint of gold colour.. I'm using Dawning Gold by Max Factor, in the picture above, the eye shadow comes with a light gold colour as well as a medium bronze colour (we're obviously going to use the gold). Another light pat on the lid would be the best way to go... If you can not see your gold, apply more gold eye shadow by doing light and short smudges. Using the gold, glide it towards your inner corners.

Your line should look long (above)

4. Using a thin black liquid eye liner, start lining your eyes as close to your lash line as possible. Make your line about 2mm thick. Draw a wing about 2-3cm towards the ends of your eyebrows. I'm using CLIO's Killer Black eye liner (the one Lee HyoRi models for).

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on eye liner pencil (left), 0.5cm from wing towards middle of eye - follow the red line (right)

5. Using a black crayon/pencil eye liner, line your inner upper lash line (waterline) to create thick lashes and draw from the lower outer corners of your eye (just under the wing) about 1cm or less towards the middle of your eye. Use a Q tip to smudge the line so that it's not so sharp. I'm using Urban Decay

6. Grab your white eyeliner (in this case I'm using Rimmel London) and line the bottom of your water line from your outer corners to about half way to make your eyes appear larger and more brighter.

Smudge and blend the gold underneath your lower lashes (right)

7. Take your gold eye shadow again, and smudge below your lashes from your inner corners towards the center and blend it out.

Super happy that I've finished my eyes!!!

8. Here's the tricky part, we wanna join at least 2 of your lower lashes together. It's hard to explain, but refer to my crappy diagram above. It's best to use a dry mascara (on that's nearly finished/run out and preferably on a rubber brush rather than bristles). Reason why it's better to use a dry mascara with a rubber brush is because you won't accidentally put too much mascara on your bottom lashes that your ruin your make up. It's also a lot easier and cleaner to do so using a dry mascara. After doing the bottom lashes, apply mascara on your top lashes like normal with whatever mascara your have (I've used my Rimmel Max Volume Mascara).

Blaze lipstick on :D

9. Last but not least, apply red/orange/fuchsia lipstick. In the comeback performance, Hyomin wore a Fire Red (hint of orange) sort of colour on her lips which works very well with the makeup. Fuchsia is worn in the second image which also works well - actually, you could pretty much wear whatever colour and it would still match/suit. It's one of those simple make up and could be worn with whatever dress/lipstick colour!

My result!!!


A close up - looks silver I know, but it's hard to capture the right colour on camera


Closer pic of my eye - see the lower lashes? :D


Used this as my sneak pic on Twitter :P FOLLOW ME PLEASE :D

And that's it! I hope you like the tutorial! Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions, I would really love to hear from you - pretty much give me comments.. I ♥ Comments!

This look is just an inspired look - this most likely not the exact way of how Hyomin's make up artist applied her make up or even the colours used. I'm just improvising with what I have to create a similar look.

Random Post

I thought I'd make a post since I haven't done so in so long. I haven't exactly got anything to blog about at the moment as I'm always working - NEED MONEY!
But I have got a brand spanking new car last month! Just before the end of the financial year I got this baby........

That's right! It's a Mazda 3 Neo Hatch in Velocity Red... And no, that's not my actual car photo as I haven't taken a photo of my car yet!! I really should as it's my first new car with my own money. My car currently looks dirty rather than new due to the storm and rain - not the best time to drive a new car.
When I first drove this car, it felt as though I've driven it for YEARS! It really is my soulmate!!
Hopefully I could finish paying off the loan in 3 years! Just so I can clear the debt I have in my name :(

Other than getting a new car, I'm hoping to expect a good tax return soon! I've lodged my tax return on e-tax and it came back with $796.00!! I couldn't believe it! Especially since I work so long hours and get taxed HEAPS! I pretty much got taxed $12,000 for this financial year, and clearly you'd think I'd get about $2,000 back... right? Well hopefully my friend's sister could help me get more back... I totally need to go retail shopping!

One weekend I decided to test out my new [657] Revlon Lustrous Pearl Fuchsia Fusion lipstick. I love it!! However, it seems the only sort of make up that suits it is Smokey black eyes. If you think otherwise, please let me know!! Although my camera can't capture the effects of the lipstick, it actually comes out pearly purple (as the shadow) mixed with fuchsia (mid tone) which is pretty awesome! Anyone wanna help me with smokey eyes? I can never do them for some reason, they just don't suit me :( I always end up blending it away so it doesn't look that dark.

Super rushed smokey eyes as I couldn't be bothered making it any darker (just wanted to finish up so I could go over my bestie's house to do her make up, LOL).

*Attempted doll face look*

Let me know if there are any ways for me to improve smokey eyes... If you have a tutorial, I WANT TO SEE IT!! :D

Now, I was supposed to do a T-Ara Hyomin inspired make up tutorial from her Roly-Poly MV. But the weather hasn't been so great so I couldn't take pics in natural lighting - you wouldn't be able to see the colours.

Unfortunately all I've got for you now are sneak peaks!
As this is a sneak peak, the actual tutorial may look different to the below images as I tend to alter techniques and colours.

Need to make my wing a little thicker towards the bottom!!

Tried to attempt the one of her hair styles, just don't have the fringe to do it!

I actually look weird without circle lenses! :O

Time for me to exercise like crazy - ahhh that should be the topic of my next post :P after my tutorial of course!

Toodles!~
