Makeup Experiment #15 : Bom Park

Hello everyone!

I'm currently watching a reality TV show from South Korea called Roommate. It's a show about eleven celebrities (actors, singers, models, and athletes) living in one house. These people can leave the house (unlike Big Brother) when they have projects or when there's a need to shop for groceries and such.

One of the celebrities in the show is the 2NE1 (an all-girl KPop group) member, Park Bom. I am familiar with her because I happen to listen to BigBang which is in the same company as 2NE1. Also a member of the famous girl group is Sandara Park which was a big celebrity in the Philippines around a decade ago.

Anyway, just recently, Park Bom was involved in a drug smuggling scandal which actually happened four years ago. I have no idea about the whole story but it's something that happened in the past and is being brought up today for some reason. Because of this scandal, Bom left the reality show indefinitely. It really saddened me because honestly, she's the major reason why the show was even entertaining for me. Haha! Without her in it, I just might stop watching. :P

I have a friend who also watches the show. Yuki, who some of you may find familiar because she's been a model of mine in a couple of my makeup experiments, also likes Park Bom. We thought that we should do a makeup experiment inspired by the singer to show our support to the 8D Alien Personality lady (lol). It was something we just decided all of a sudden so we didn't really have time to prepare. Good thing Yuki already has long, black hair so all we need to work on is the makeup! :D

Here's Yuki with the Park Bom-inspired makeup.

Bom has actually done numerous looks. We had a hard time choosing our reference from her different makeup looks and numerous hairstyles and hair color. Eventually, we ended up picking this picture from their latest album, Crush.

And this is how we interpreted it.

Here's a before and after pictures of Yuki:

Since this is a KPop makeup look, it will surely involve eyeliners and very clear skin. It's something we really enjoyed doing and it only took us a couple of hours to finish.

We didn't have any false lower lashes so I ended up drawing the lower lashes. LOL

I also loved doing a gradient lips effect on her lips. I rarely do this look on me but it looks so cute on Yuki.

Yuki agreed to paint her nails red even if she doesn't like applying nail polish. That's dedication! Haha!

 She even cut her bangs since Bom sports full bangs most of the time.

 I just love the eye makeup of this look! Don't you?

And of course, we have to take photos of her eating on the bed. It's something Bom does a lot—wakeup, eat, sleep. LOL

So what do you think of this makeup experiment?

BTW, I also did a makeup experiment inspired by another 2NE1 member, Dara. Click here if you'd like to check it out. I only need to do a makeup experiment that are CL and Minzy-inspired and I have completed the whole girl group! So who wants to volunteer?

Makeup Experiment # 12 : Sandara Park

Hi everyone!!

Here's a makeup experiment once again!!!

My model is Tellie of Beauty by Tellie. This is actually my first time having a fellow blogger as a model in one of my crazy makeup experiments. :)

It all started when we finally met in person during Pinkbox's event some weeks ago. I noticed, along with other blogger friends, that Tellie looks like Dara of 2NE1. She said a lot of people say that but she doesn't think she does and thus I proposed to do a Dara-inspired makeover! We were super excited to do this and after some exchanged of emails, we agreed to do it a week after she got back from her vacation out of the country.

We met last Saturday and ate some Octopus Takoyaki and Milk Tea. It was a fun afternoon stalking videos of Bigbang's T.O.P (Haha! I made Tellie watch K-Pop vids because of T.O.P's hotness) and chatting endlessly before, during, and after the photoshoot.

Here's one of the outputs of the makeover:

 Doesn't she look like Dara??

Below's one of Dara's pictures that we used as our makeup peg.

The keys to achieve this look are lots of black eyeliner, false lashes...

 ...and toned down glossy lips!

So here are the before and after shots:

The hair is probably the most challenging part of this makeover. We used the iconic hairstyle Dara sported during their 2NE1 debut days.

 And these are the makeup we used:

Just comment in this post if you would like to know the specific brand or shade. :P

 And so...

here's Tellie as Sandara Park!

Of course we had to do the quirky poses that Sandara often does.

  

Don't you think the resemblance of Tellie to Dara is crazy? We kept laughing at how much she looks like her at almost every shot!

We also tried doing a glamour shot! 

I feel proud with how the eyeliner turned out. It took me a while to make sure that the eyeliners were even. Tellie has uneven, hooded eyes. I wish I was able to take step by step shots on how I did this. I had an inquiry about this from one of the readers. Hopefully next time I can make that post. :D

 This is probably one of the funnest makeover I've done!

 I hope we can do this again someday, Tellie! :D

And thanks a lot for the pasalubong too! You're so sweet and thoughtful! These are soooo cute! :D

What do you think of the makeover?
Do you also agree that she looks so much like Sandara Park?

And by the way, I'm accepting volunteers for future makeovers! My house is open for willing victims! Haha! I'm just a Facebook message or email away!

Cheers,
