Best Golden Nail Polish Selected on Get It Beauty

Haven't wrote a post on the top products from Get It Beauty because the show didn't have a best product section for the last couple episodes. I started getting bored out by the show after not seeing the best product selection so I didn't watch the show for awhile. I am glad, they continued their Top Product Section.

On episode 11 of season 2 of Get It Beauty they rated the best golden metallic nail polish.

How to apply makeup naturally like a professional

Tip 1: you have to maintain a good skin: shouldn't being using the same products for all seasons.

 Using a finisher which acts like a primer to keep your skin hydrated and while also giving you a glow.

Tips 2 Adding dimension to your face to bring out natural features to your face using the thin and thick method.

You shouldn't apply a same layer of makeup all over your face because there are thick in thin skin.
Feel your vzone, areas jutting out are vzone- that is where the thick skin is and your need to apply a thicker layer of makeup. Your star zone, around nose, under the eyes, and above the lips are where thinner skin is located.

She uses a cushion type of foundation compact (aka bb cushion) and starts patting from the top of the V line down to the chin and then up the cheek area so that there is more makeup on the outer edges of your face. After blending out, use whats left on the cushion to pat the rest on your forehead and the thinner areas

 Tip 3: bring out freshness using warm and cool method.

 Around the eyes where its bluish with dark circles  and the upper lips are where there's fine hair is the cool zone. The cool zone is where it makes you look tired. She suggests to put a highlighter on those areas starting from under the eyes blending down to laugh lines where you smile around the mouth.
How to put on blush- sweep color onto a brush  and tap the color in the circular motion around your apples of cheeks.

Tip 4: Show and Hide method.

 When you draw your eyeliner,  don't draw it with the same thickness. It should be thin right above the pupil of the eyes and should be thicker near the outer corners of the eyes. Start at the outer of the eyes with thick lines then make it thin in the middle and then thick again near the inner tear ducts.
For eyeshadow use a base color and a darker color. Take the dark color starting from the outer edge and work the way into the tear duct so that the outer edge is darker. Pat the lighter color on the center of the lids so that there is less color on the edge and more color in the middle. When applying mascara do the left and right motion then up and down motion.

For the lips she uses a cubed shaped lipstick to shaped the v area so that it emphasizes the lines well. However i felt that the model already had nicely shaped cupids bow on her lips so her lips were nicely defined. But my lips aren't shaped like that, I don't know if I would be able to make such nicely defines lips with just that lips stick. The brand she is using is VDL expert color lip cube. The lipstick looks really neat. I have been eyeing that lipstick ever since reading it from some korean beauty blog.

sidenote: all three host are wearing incredibly cute dresses today. I especially like Jaekyung's white cutout dress.

Stippling Brush Blind Test on Get it Beauty 2014

Top 5 Stippling Brush rated on episode 4 of Get It Beauty 2014

This was the first blind test that I actually felt was a blind test. Each brand normally has a distinctive package that you can't cover up with a sticker. For example a dior eye palette has that 4 shades on each corner of a square and a color in the center. For this stippling brush blind test, by covering up the brand on the handle, I could not tell the difference between each brush. They looked all the same.

I really wanted them to rate Samantha Chapman's real technique stippling brush but keeping in mind that this show takes place in korea, they probably do not have access to the real technique brand.

The Top 5 stippling brush chosen on Get It Beauty is listed below

These are also other tips from episode 4 of Get It Beauty

During the spring, it's inevitable to encounter pollen and pollution in the air. These dust particles contains lost of acid and heavy metal particles like mercury, lead, cadmium, that clog up pores, penetrate the skin and acidify causing aging.

Techniques to clean the face:
sparkling water-bubbles goes deep into skin clean deeply
combine water and sparking water in 1:1 ratio. remove makeup with a foam cleanser first then soak face for 10-20 seconds in a bowl the sparking water combination.  Pat  dry face.

Bean flour and egg yolk cleansing
Lecithin and vitamins in the egg yolk will nourish skin. The bean flour will exfoliate and wash away all the fine dust.
mix 1 tsp of bean flour and 1 egg yolk. spread an even layer over skin and then gently massage face for 30 sec to exfoliate. Then wash off with lukewarm water

spinach water- beta carotene in spinach is good for dry and sensitive skin caused by the fine dust. After blanching spinach in water, allow to cool thoroughly and pat the liquid on face.

salt-exfoliate skin and sulfur in salt helps detoxify skin.
Simply add some salt to your normal cleansing cream and gently massage face. Put saline solution on a cotton ball and wipe away dirt from skin.

I haven't tried any of the cleansing and nourishing method above so I have no idea how it works but I just leave it here so that when I have free time and a bit daring, I can try out these methods. These tips were all taken from episode 4 of Get It Beauty.
