If I were still doing video tutorials I might have done one for this look because I really like how it turned out in the end.

I've seen the Trouble Maker MV a few times and always liked this particular styling on Hyuna.

The mix of sage and bronze eyeshadows with a random pop of a baby pink lipshade, I think it's cute. Since I had all the time in the world to get ready today I thought to try an inspired-by look.

It's particularly challenging as when I say inspired in these situations, I really mean that I'm trying to get the exact thing she has going on - the tones and shades etc. It's not going to be perfect, hence the 'inspired' disclaimer, but overall I like how it ended up.

Here's a screencap of the look that I was going for:

I thought to skip on that lower lash eyeshadow thing that she has going on because I'm not used to doing that but in end I tried it anyway. My take was a lot more subtle and shaded out, compared to hers.

Here's my take:

When some people do inspired-by looks they really end up looking like the person in question. For me, I feel I just don't 'look like her' because of my face structure? So I thought why not throw on some grey contacts to bring me that one step closer!

Cheap trick, I know.

Apologies for the scary closeup picture mid-way through but the full face shots turned out to be rather scaled down after uploading. Thus I felt a close-up would be a good representation of the complete look.

Here's a breakdown of what colors were actually used (and how) since a couple of quads/palettes were used.

1. All over lids, below the crease, blend the edges!
2. Dab on the inner corner of the lids
3. Layer over color (2) because I wanted a slightly lighter tone.
4. Dab (with fingers because this color has fall out!) on the centre of the lids
5. Blend from the outer corner to the centre, extend it slightly out of your lids. Dab color (5) again if it gets muted
6. Blend this lightly above the inner corner (crease area). You can see the bronze in the images above!

For the heck of it I tried my hand at center-parting (which Hyuna has), something I haven't done since my secondary school days...

But eep... no.

I think I am much better off with my bangs or to compromise maybe slightly centre parted bangs. heh

All that aside, today was such a gloomy and rainy day with so many things going wrong but within all that wearing this makeup just made me feel that tad bit better, is that weird?

If I don't manage to get on here later today or on Christmas, I want to say...

Eat, drink and be merry while mingling with your loved ones this festive season!

Thanks for reading!
