how to loook good just like the Korean actresses?

Hi Everyone,

I recently bought some Korean cosmetics such as Mesonie where the girl from Winter Sonata, the main character is now the spoke person for this cosmetics. Do you think that using Jap or Korean products is better than the American ones for Asian women b/c I am an Asian women. I heard that it's good to use our own asian products b/c they cater towards asian women more and are more designed to fit our skin tone right? What brands are good and what are your recommendations? I want to look natural but elegant like those K-movie stars. In the movies, they look like they don't wax or thin their eyebrows much, they leaev it kinda thick, I wonder if they actually plick or wax it like ppl here in CAD or US. I like how they look so naturally pretty and they look like they don't wear that much make up, their make up is not noticable as it lows so natural and flawless on them. I know they are wearing make up but it doesn't show much on their face yet I kow it helps enhances their features especially their eyes. Any recommendations? I heard that K movie stars have alot of plastic surgery right ? I am not into surgery, not that far.hehehehee

i use korean cosmetic stuff, too. but i think it's all same. maybe it's ur right that products made especially for asian women are good for asians. but one thing i know is u r not going to be like korean stars if u use korean cosmetics. that's for sure.

I don't know anything about Korean cosmetics but for Japanese ones, I think Shiseido's great. Asian make-up is naturally great for the Asian skin tone, but yeah as someone said it certainly won't make you look like those movie/drama stars. You can see that normal Korean women might also wear those make-up but they don't necessarily look like celebrities. Although I am amazed at the number of Koreans I see with unbelievably smooth skin.

OH Yes, I am not aiming to look exactly like them. I am happy the way I am but I just wonder how they look so good like with smoothe skin and nice eyes etc..so natural too... I heard it's how you put on your make up and what you use that's important. Obviously using asian make up doesnt make me look like celebrities.....that's a given one......I just wanna know how can I enhance my features like them. I talked to a cosmetic lady at those Korean products booth in the mall, she said that white ppl have different skin from us so sometimes you see them wear alot of make up or look like it, while some asians like the ones in the movies look like they barely wear any but they are wearing some but the way they did their make up is really good, that's why you don't see it much. It's like hiding your flaws every well......lol....I've never tried Sheshido before. but I herad it's really good too. I have just bought Mesonie ($40CAD for powder foundation)+ $30(Base). She told me that base is really good to use before we put on founddation as it makes our skin smoother and lighter. She said that American companies like MAC do not have base. Only Jap & Korean ppl use BASE and know about it....

well. shesido is very good. i used to use it. but it depends on ur skin, i guess. the cosmetics that ur country produces, are the best for ur skin..am i right?
one thing i'm wondering for many years is how do korean celebs have that smooth skin? i know it's their job to keep it clean and everything, but............

Pray to your god for better looks. Failing that, plastic surgery (like in jdrama Seikei Bijin) may help.
