IU "Real" Good Day Makeup Tutorial

10:01 PM

Hi everyone! I have yet another Kpop-inspired tutorial to share with you today. It's one I recorded kind of a while ago and like last time, I had some troubles with the lighting. This always makes me hesitant to post since I want to produce really nice quality for you guys but -sigh- sometimes I feel like I put so much work into it, I might as well post.


In real life, I was super happy with how this look turned out. I don't think I look like IU myself, but the makeup on this look isn't too heavy and it's quite wearable minus the random lash wispies. It's very Springtime chic! The orange cheeks are unusual but so on-point with the orangey trends this season, no?


Products mentioned:
Paul & Joe Protective Fluid Foundation #15
Mac Select Coverup Concealer (NC30 mixed with NW15 to lighten it)
MAC Blot Powder in Medium Dark
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Urban Decay Naked Palette (Buck, Darkhorse, Virgin)
MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack
Shu Uemura Lash curler
FAIRYDROPS Scandal Queen mascara
Sugar lashes (sorry, these were discontinued long ago)
Pretty & Cute Synthetic Lashes in Victoria (dramatic lashes)
Individual lashes from Sasa
Darkness lash glue
NYX Blush in Cinnamon
Ardell Lash & Brow Growth Accelerator
Lioele Real Vivid Matte lipstick in Sandy Beige
Rimmel lipstick in Airy Fairy


Here are the photos of IU that inspired this look. She's so ethereal like a wood nymph, I fell in love with the look right away!



 And here are photos of my rendition:





And I decided to add one extra nerdy gif just because I had so many people say I look like IU as Pilsook in Dream High when I wear my nerd glasses. HAH!


Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! I have some more photos that I took with this makeup while wearing my regular clothes (because I liked this look so much) that I'll have to post next time. I just don't pull off the all-red sweater as well as the doll-like IU! My face is much more angular and she has softer features than me in general as well, so for some reason I give off a more "sexy" attitude with this makeup. LOL! You'll just have to wait and see next time...

;D

    Wow this is really close to the IU look! You are so amazing! But I wish the lighting was brighter in the video. I think it was one of the best makeup tutorials you've had but the lighting just ruined it. :(

    Hey Jen! Great job on the makeup look! Could you do a Pilsook makeup look as well?? She has this very subtle, barely there smokey eyeliner thing but I couldn't figure it out. Anyways, love your blog!! xoxo!

    Oh goodness, I love this look! IU is my favorite kpop artist, and I actually wasn't a big fan of her Real album pictures (too much photoshop -_-) but you did a really great interpretation of her make-up! Seems more wearable to me. The orange cheeks are spot-on.

    hi jen! ^^ great look as usual,
    love IU, and love the dramatic lashes :)
    i love your kpop vids and was wondering if you
    knew a group called Girls Day?
    they have a member named Minah
    who is single lidded but ALWAYS has awesome
    make-up =]

    she has long brown hair and full bangs,
    & they have a new song out called Twinkle Twinkle
    she is the one in the beginning here:
    (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWpl2CaCnVA)
    but i actually really like her smokey makeup
    in Girls Day' previous single Nothing Lasts Forever
    (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE-FUZPic2E)
    here is a video of her talking to see the makeup
    even better~
    (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZlNW6Se79E)
    and a still pic of the make up again =]
    (http://static.allkpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/20101130_minah_2.jpg)
    i was actually really surprised to see her
    no makeup picture, and to know she was
    a single lidder because the make up made her
    eyes look SO big!
    it would be cool if you could make a video
    on how to do her single lid eye make up
    if you had any free time ^_^
    anyways, keep up the great vids!!! =]

    Great tutorial as always! You really nailed IU's look with this one.

    On another note, I was wondering if you could do another tutorial on eyebrows. Lately, I've been drawn to thick eyebrows like this:

    Or this:
