Trivia of this look:

This was one of the trickiest looks, I actually made three different  looks before I was happy with the result!

Originally my idea was to add in some gold (in honor of the old comic version), but I soon realized that mixing gold and silver just won't work. 

I also wanted the red to be in "cape -shape", but that didn't work either.

The second version was a bit better, and it was really close that I didn't publish it, but in the last minute I backed off.  I wanted to stand behind these looks 100%, and since I wasn't quite sure about the look, I did the final version the next day, and instantly knew that was IT. 

I bet the Thor look wouldn't be so awesome if it had looked something like this:

Perfect example how nobody's perfect ;)

1. Start with primer
2. Then apply NYX Jumbo pencil Milk to your whole lid, also to lower lashline to give a light base so that the colors really pop.
3. Start applying blue shadow (Sugarpill Afterparty) to above the crease, blend upwards. Leave the crease untouched. Apply blue also to lower lashline.
4. Use Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy as a base to attach blue glitter (The Body Needs Holo Blue) over the shadow.
5. Then apply red shadow to whole lid. Again, use Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy as a base for red glitter (The Body Needs Red Glitter). Make sure the crease is still untouched.
6.Apply white shadow (Sugarpill Tako) to highlight, overlay with Sugarpill Lumi chromalust.
7. Finally use liquid white Illamasqua Scribe liner to define the crease.
8. Line your lower lashline with blue gel liner / pencil (Coastal Scents Sky Blue liner)
9. Add mascara and false lashes (Sugarpill Daydreamer false lashes)

Products, in order where used:

1. Primer  (whole lid)

2.  Apply red shadow (Lime Crime Fly Dragon Fly) to whole lid and to lower lashline

3. Then black shadow (Sugarpill Bulletproof) to outer corner

5. Gold-toned highlighter (MAC Cloudbound, but MAC Nylon is a fine dupe)

6. Apply some Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy over highlighter, then apply white/ gold glitter (The Body Needs Gold 

Rush)

7. Line your upper lashline and waterline with black

8. Apply Pixie Epoxy over the upper black liner, then apply blue glitter (The Body Needs Holo Blue) ad some Sugarpill Lumi chromalust over it.

Last night I was just looking at the mirror feeling so bored and was about to wash my face,

 After a long day of teaching and listening to Korean songs, 

I still can hear Big Bang's single "Fantastic Baby" ringing in my head. 

Yeah it was my LSS. (Last Song Syndrome).

During my free time I tried to keep up with the latest music in South Korea,
and I watched a few music videos from both boy groups and girl groups.
Three of Big Bang's new songs really got me.
~Blue. Bad Boy. Fantastic Baby~
 I was never their fan but then suddenly I got so interested with their fashion and music.
 I watched the videos over and over again and
I added another few more hits to their MV's millions of view.

 

 

Big Bang's style used to be simple with an edge.
More likely influenced by American hip hoppers,
 if I'm not mistaken they are the Korean counterpart of those.
 They really are good when it comes to singing and rapping.
Whenever I ask my Korean students about their favorite Korean singer or group,
 hands down, it's always them.
Their infamous member T.O.P is the fiercest and smexxxxiest rapper~slash~actor of all.

For their new album for 2012 they have a very awesome concept.
 Big Bang has grown so much and has greatly improved as an artist and
they are now recognized as an icon.  Their style has changed a lot, and
I noticed that they are wearing too much makeup. Especially their leader G~Dragon.

GD (short for G-Dragon, real name Kwon Ji Yong 권지용 )
 is a recording artist, singer/dancer, songwriter, 2ne1's producer and a model.
 G~Dragon can be named as the male version of Lady Gaga, and he's considered as the most fashionable/stylish Kpop Icon.
He's fearless when it comes to gender bender fashion and
 colorful or even artistic makeups.

This is Big Bang's latest image. Icy Cold, futuristic and weird.
There's a reason behind their transformations but I don't know what is it all about.
Must ask a VIP. ^^

For Fantastic Baby's music video I noticed that G-Dragon is indeed a hottie.
Plus he reminds me of someone that I know that's why I try not to pay attention. :)
I only had my eyes on T.O.P.

  

 I see what you did there GD and your brown eyeshadow LOL ^^ I dig that!

This one freaks me out, I know he loves experimenting with his hairstyle and hair colors, 

but his hair is just.... freaky.

Seriously what's up with the bangs?

Maybe he's trying to be a modern day Gothic Rapunzel for this music video concept.

But still Fantastic.

 How cute this baby is!!

Going back to the time when I was staring at myself in the mirror,
 I really ship GD's lips so hard that I really have to recreate my own.
My dad was even watching me doing it and he's like,
"What the fuck are you doing to yourself??"

 

 

 It's not exactly what you see from GD's coz they said it's a feather pattern
and I really couldn't figure out what it is so I just try to make weird patterns that I don't know if it really resembles his lip art. I should've saved his photo in my smartphone but it was a sudden decision, I totally forgot, so I thoughtlessly drew patterns on my lips.
As long as it's white and black, It's fine.

I will be sharing with you the products that I used and it's so easy.
I won't be mentioning a specific brand coz it's just too basic and simple.

What you will need:
~ white eyeliner
~ white eyeshaow
~ black liquid eyeliner
~ a clear gloss

Tutorial:

 1. Line your outer lips with white eyeliner.

2. Work towards your inner lips, using white eyeliner as a base

3. Pat your lips with white eyeshadow.

4. Try to draw some patterns, it can be a feather, or whatever resembles it like what I did. :)

5. GD's lips are glossy so just dab some clear gloss on top, 

DON'T RUB! or else you'll rub it all off.

G~Dragon's.

 mine

Once again it's just inspired and recreated, I dunno how his MUA does that
and mine turned out to be like this, and I'm loving it. It looks like a lip tattoo.
I've never tried lip arts so I'm happy with the result of my mediocre take.
I'm pretty sure you guys will do better than me. Why not try it? :)

 

I really enjoy seeing feminine men wearing makeup,

but surely Ate Janis would be gagging herself while reading this.

She hates men wearing makeups and she makes fun of T.O.P. whenever

she sees him appearing on TV from the Korean drama Iris.

(yep it's currently airing in the Philippines)

Well, I really can't blame her. The first time I saw T.O.P I was like, 

"why the hell is he wearing eyeliner?" :)

You can watch their MV here:
