SNSD "Run Devil Run" Taeyeon Inspired Makeup Tutorial
10:03 PM
Hello lovelies! Today I have another Kpop-inspired look, since it's been a while since I posted my last one. This is inspired from a SNSD (aka Girl's Generation or 소녀시대) video from last year called "Run Devil Run" and is the makeup that the leader of the group Taeyeon wears.
So to preface this video, I just want to note how much a pain in the butt this tutorial was to create!
While I was recording, the sun quickly went down making the video coloring really dark and off. Then, several times throughout recording I had issues with application. My Dolly Wink liner was drying out and caused a bunch of wing attempts to look bad, which is why I switched over to the Eyeko liner later on. The first crystal I used was too large and I had to switch. Then, after applying the lashes my eyes decided to become uneven with one double-lid and one monolid. Even with editing the video, I finished editing in Windows Movie Maker and it wouldn't export due to an error (omg hours of work gone)! Had to completely reformat each raw video to work in iMovie and re-edit completely. >_<
Please forgive any weirdness going on here because it took a lot to get here and I debated not uploading it at all! -_-;;;
Anyway, here's the video. Hope you enjoy it~
If you've never heard of Girl's Generation then definitely check out their leggy, 9-girl awesomeness below. They are basically the most popular girl group in South Korea and watching their videos is like virtually playing with Barbie dolls. They are pretty, sing well, and have catchy, synchronized dance moves. Definitely eye candy for sure! ^_^
Here are some screen caps I took of Taeyeon's makeup from the video. The basic concept is a clean lid with heavy black eyeliner which is winged twice, and crystals at the outer eye corners. She also has a clean, glowy complexion and thick brows.

Urban Decay Naked Palette (Naked, Virgin)
Dolly Wink Liquid Liner

Dior Addict Ultra Gloss in 517
Circle lenses are Neo Vision Queen Grey lenses from Pinky Paradise.

And my facey face:
I wanted to show my hair but it's kind of a fail since I have a ton of baby hairs at the front-sides of my face so it doesn't look good on me! T^T
Obligatory smile cause that's how I roll.
One last attempt at looking angsty like I am angry at a devil 정말 bad boy.
I also recorded a look on IU for her "Real" album cover look recently so you can look forward to that as the next Kpop tutorial I have coming up.
Just for kicks, let me know in the comments who your favorite Girl's Generation member is! Not gonna lie, I do love Taeyeon but Tiffany is SUPER super adorable as well and happens to be Korean-American. Gotta rep my Korean-Americans! ;)

LOVE TAEYEON!!! She's so adorable and her voice is AMAZINGGG~ I think she needs more airtime, my friends are all crazy about tiffany and jessica, who are definitely amazing singers as well, but COME ON, TAEYEON <3
ReplyDeleteLove the look, can't wait for the IU look to come out- she's so cute in Dream High <3
my fave snsd member is yoona!!
ReplyDeletebut my fave female kpop singer would be younha~ i love her songs!!
thanks for the lovely tutorial jen & for going through all that frustration & pain for us :D
Girl no joke you look so damn good! Pretty much got the look down to 100%.
ReplyDeleteAHAHA JEN! i forgot to mention that ur sooo cute in that last pic where u try to be angry XD (& oh, did u know that tiffany was voted as the korean girl group member with the prettiest thighs according to allkpop ^^)
ReplyDelete~crystal
I always enjoy how you translate Kpop looks onto your own face. Regardless of how well you think you did, I always like your effort. :)
ReplyDeleteI have to say, my favorite member of SNSD has to be Hyoyeon. She's an amazing dancer and I don't think she gets enough attention. She's also hilarious in variety shows.
Dear Jen, maybe you can be GG's 10th leggy member? heehee :P
ReplyDeletei love taeyeon i think she is super cute! :) thank you for posting this review despite the setbacks you encountered.
SUNNY!!! She's such a cutie and my all time favorite ^_^ But I also love Tiffany and Soo Yuong, edgy and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you for rep. for K-pop Jen! I'm a full on American white girl, but I love, love, love Korea and SNSD!! Sorry, it was such a hassle though T.T
jen, im super sorry for making a third comment, but i just remembered a question i had from one of ur old outfit videoes- u showed us a 'promise' ring~ and i was wondering, what is that?
ReplyDelete<3 crystal
My favorite member would definitely have to be Sooyoung! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this look! And I have a few favorites. I love Tiffany, but I have a soft spot for Yuri, Hyoyeon, and Sooyoung. But my absolute favorite is probably Yuri. Thank you for going through all of that hard work! The look came out great! Just a question, if you see this, do you have any suggestions for hooded eye makeup? I have hooded eyes, but my eyelids make it look like I have monolids, and applying any sort of eyemakeup just ends in failure. =/
ReplyDeleteMy fave members thr r definitely taeyeon n Tiffany. Taeyeon is such an amazing vocalist.she can sing high n low vocals really well. Tiffany is also gd in singing!!+++ she's really prettyyyyy!! I love sunny,seohyun n hyoyeon too !! I didn't knw u were Korean Jen, I tod u were Chinese . Cz u look lk Chinese. N u hv really fair skin. I love ur tutorials esp d valentine's look. I wanna try dat look too but I dun really hv enough pink shadows. N U're super prettyyyy Jen!!! Keep up d gd work n pls follow my blog! >.O
ReplyDeleteYay! I got a tutorial on Tiffany's Run Devil Run look... my video wasn't HD so, I will try to recreate it next time... =)
ReplyDeleteThis is the video...
http://angelamhiereslittleheaven.blogspot.com/2010/04/black-soshi-tiffany-inspired-make-up_26.html
where did you buy the dermafx bb cream? i can not find it anywhere, and does it leave a grayish tone to your skin?
ReplyDeleteAwesome tutorial!
ReplyDeleteAnd my eyes do that all the time!
I'm right handed and my right eye usually becomes 'double lid' and my left eye is usually 'mono lid'.....
I can never figure out the right angle to put on my false eye lashes to get the double lid look
Any suggestions Jen?
Jessica!!
ReplyDeleteI like yoona because she's naturally skinny and she is overall natural! She didn't get any plastic surgery at all! haha
ReplyDeleteomg u look totally awesome! I love how u did those eyes. Thumbs up hunny
ReplyDeleteIt looks so pretty and you got the look down to be just like hers! Nice <3
ReplyDeleteI love your kpop inspired looks! Great job on this one :) It's amazing how simple black liner can instantly turn edgy and unique by just adding that rhinestone. ~Emily
ReplyDeleteP.S. Learning all of their dances is is so much fun! I know the choreography to "Tell Me Your Wish" :)
I love your celeb-inspired look because you always do such a great job :) although the video quality was kinda not at its best but I still love it :) awesome job jen! ^_^
ReplyDeleteI'm not into kpop, but I absolutely love this look! It's edgy yet still pretty.
ReplyDeleteyou are awesome!!
ReplyDeletelooks identic, like a twin.. hehe
i love this make-up look , so prety on u ˘˘
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE SNSD and their songs...especially "Run Devil Run"! I think "Run Devil Run" is the stand out. The MV is so cool and the make-up is so nice.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite member is Jessica, Tiffany and Yuri. I can't decide who is the best.
And I have to say now I love this tutorial<3
You always create nice make-up, and I always looking forward to see your new look.
I have already known you are so cute, but I surprised to see the photo on this article. You looks like Taeyon so much on this photo!!
Thank you so much for the tutorial, Jen! =D You look fabulous, thank you for your hard work!
ReplyDeleteOMG, it's so difficult to choose my favorite member of SNSD... I guess it's Yoona, she's so beautiful and cute, I really wanted that she was my unnie! ^__^ But I looove Taeyeon's dork moments and Sooyoung's spontaneity!
Can't wait for the IU look, she's adorable!
Lots of love from Brazil! <3
ahhh it's almost impossible for me to choose my favourite
ReplyDeletebut i'd have to say jessica, tiffany and yoona probably :D
Hej Jen, amazing jobs!!!I found this girl and really Fascinated by her look, wondering if you would have interest on doing one of her look?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.douban.com/photos/photo/673249016/
thanks!
Awesome tutorial! The eyebrows really change your the look of your face. Oh and my fav is Tiffany too!
ReplyDeleteA few suggestions though... For your photos, you should look into setting the white balance of your camera based on your lighting. Looks like you used fluorescent lights which tend to sway green. There should be a fluo or custom setting in you camera to compensate for it.
Here is what they look like with a closer-to-true white balance:

And here with a grade that resembles the MV:

For your videos, maybe consider getting proper video editing software. Sony Vegas is simple to learn, more capable than imovie and windows movie maker and is more affordable than adobe and apple's offerings.

ReplyDeleteAww, I love it!!!

I looove Taeyeon. Thank you so much for doing this look. I've watched many tutorials on it but no one seems to be paying attention to detail.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite SNSD members are Sunny (she is tooooo cute), Tiffany and Taeyeon.

ReplyDeleteHi Jen. I was just wondering if you wore eyetape (or glue) for this look? Do you think this look would work for monolids? :\ My eyes are so small.
ReplyDeleteTaeyeon has always been my favorite and always will be!! I love her voice!! She is undoubtedly the best voice of the group! Thank you for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteGreat look, and it's not too difficult to create! :D Can you also do a Nana look for the mono-lidders out there? Thank you. Can't wait for the IU look!

ReplyDeleteyou did a great job on this tutorial . i love leader taeyeon cause her voice is great but my favorite member would have to be yuri . thank you for working hard on the video even tho you had alot of problems with the video .
ReplyDeleteGreat look Jen! I really like the lenses on you! They blend nicely! I also love how filled in your brows are!!! :) Sara
ReplyDeleteWhat are you doing with your eyes? lol. Are you trying to be sexy?
ReplyDeletehi!
ReplyDeleteI am a huge fan of you from korea.
yesterday I wan on the train(KTX) and I was reading the magazine there(KTX magazine) and found out that your blog was introduced!!
The title of the article was "I learned make-up through YOUTUBE!!" Did you know about this?
I took the pictures of that page with my cellphone so I have those pictures now. (I wanted to rip that page off but I couldn't T.T)
If you want, I could send you the pictures!!
My email is trusthiddink@naver.com
You are a real huge celebrity in korea now too!
You definitely don't do the moody look that well because you're such a sweet smiley person!! Love the look!
ReplyDeletewww.thebestbeautyblog.com
Hi :)
ReplyDeleteI noticed that the trend now for Korean celeb eyebrows are like Taeyon's. Any advice on how to get that look?
Do Koreans (generally speaking) have the highest cheekbones of all asian ethnicities? Or is that just my imagination? (deff trying not to be racist here, I'm japanese myself and don't have cheekbones)
ReplyDeleteAnd so true w\hat she said about barbie dolls.
@Chiharu
ReplyDeleteHere's an average of Asian faces based on gender and country. They even did an average of some of the actors who look quite different from the average male and female composites of their country. Quite interesting.

Ahh I love this song!! You did a really good recreating Taeyeon's look :D
ReplyDeleteYou look SO good, Jen! I love Run Devil Run!
ReplyDeletexx The Little Dust Princess
So sophisticated > <!
ReplyDeleteI was getting sick of my smoky looks for going out at night.
I'll def. try this one!
Thanks for the tutorial!
thank you sooo much for uploading this look jen. i love love love snsd. and i love iu. so i'll be looking forward to that look as well.
ReplyDeleteyou're my favorite make up guru that covers kpop <3
love you jennnn!
oh and my favorite member. i have like four tied. ummm yoona, yuri, taeyeon. and maybe jessica, seohyun, and tiffany not far behind. well, basically all of them xDD
@Vuthy
ReplyDeletethe average korean female face is reallyyy pretty.
but most of the average composites are pretty good looking for each race--especially the average actors for each, haha. the average actors for each one actually look alike--probably indicating the similar beauty standards that east asians have in general.
YOONA and JESSICA :D
ReplyDeleteLooks wise, Yoona hands down. Personality wise I like yuri and Sunny better ^_^
ReplyDeleteHope to see more tutorial for looks on SNSD!
omg Jen!! that's a great tutorial ^_^
ReplyDeleteI just love it when you do kpop make up tutorials!!I get so hyped up each time I see a kpop inspired tutorial ^o^
Will you be doing the IU make up? not the bronzed one but the more "natural" and more "everyday look" type of make up? We'd be forever grateful!hehehhe <3
i LOVEE LOVEEE LOVEEEEE yoona! :) heard she doesn't really like singing but omgosh she kicks ass at dancing (but defs can't beat hyoyeon). also adore jessica the "ice queen" cause her voice is super unique. but taeyeon and tiffany are veryyyy close third and fourths.
ReplyDeletejen! i think if you joined snsd the others would have to step aside haha. thanks soo much for posting a tutorial based on them and would LOVE to see more in the future! you're AWESOME for pulling through with all the setbacks :))
Hey Jen,
ReplyDeletethe looks really suits you! I especially like the glitter!
I'd have to disagree with you though on how talented the group is ... i find SNSD's popularity lies more on the girls' beauty than their musical talent. Only a couple of the girls actually knows how to sing, most of them are just really pretty...
this is so cool. i LOVE their video :)
ReplyDeleteand i think i look out for yoona the most, but taeyeon is awesome at singing :)
and im really excited for the IU tutorial! i love her in Dream High omggggg<3
wow Jen you look like twins! great job! can you please do a Park Bom makeup tutorial (perhaps her look in you and I)? I love her...thanks for introducing SNSD to us!!!! another Korean group to go GAGA over!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat look!! I love all your Kpop looks! Dara's red lip was the video that brought me to your channel! Anyway, my favorite SNSD member is Yoona... I have a total girl crush on her. She's not my favorite singer nor even my favorite dancer but altogether, I just like her the best.
ReplyDeleteI lurve this tutorial. Sooyoung is my absolute fave, followed by Sunny, Hyo, and Fany.
ReplyDeleteHi, Jen! You look beautiful in this make up! You are an artist!
ReplyDeleteI start my blog this days and I'm following you and linked your blog.
OMG Jen u look like Taeyeon Twin sister..i got confused for a second so pretty xoxo
ReplyDeletei going to say that i love the youngest one SEOHYUN! but i so love taeyeon.
ReplyDeletewhat color and brand contacts are you wearing?
ReplyDeleteHi Jen!Thank you so much for the makeup tutorial.I LOVE TAEYEON!!! she is just an awesome awesome person!!
ReplyDeleteOh,i was wondering if you could do a makeup tutorial on BoA's My Sweetie? Thank you!
I hope you can show us Yoona's look too!
ReplyDeleteHyoYeon is my favourite! I think she's completely underrated. She's an amazing dancer, obviously being the main dancer in the group, and has such a distinct look, she's the reason I got into SNSD! I think she's gorgeous, and definitely needs more lines in songs!
ReplyDeleteLove your video by the way, you're beautiful!
Could you do a Nana tutorial too? Thank you for doing Taeyoon's tutorial!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I like Tiffany and Yuri. But after watching the Goguma couple... I've come to like Seohyun the most! And you're so pretttyyyy!!! And I'm Super looking forward to your interpretation of IU's Real Album look. She's so pretty, and her makeup for those pictures are gorgeous!
ReplyDeletei really like taeyeon's hair too and you did it so well! can you do a tutorial for her hair as well, please??
ReplyDeleteI watched your video and tried to do my version of it, just for fun!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my post, I linked your post.
http://goodnessgraci3ous.blogspot.com/2011/04/fotd-taeyeon-from-snsd-inspired-look.html
taeyeon is really beautiful:D but you can compete with snsd i think, for beauty:D
ReplyDeletebtw can you do a tutorial of taeyeon look in run devil run's japanese version:D she look extremely beautiful in that video:D both with long hair and short hair:D
wow! you look just like the 2nd girl who started singing!!
ReplyDeletei love your snsd tutorials... do you think you can do one for seohyun next? her makeup in the new W-live videos on the smtown youtube channel looks fantastic. thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi:) i m only 12, n i was wondering how did u tie ur hair like taeyeon's in rdr so perfectly? Omg, ur totally pretty:) TaeNy 대박! <3
ReplyDeletewow! super pretty! you've got that perfect korean face like taeyang and you really really look like her in the pictures.
ReplyDelete
