Douyin Look For Everyday

 

Hello guys!
Funny how I've been doing Korean Glass Skin and all those she-bang when it comes to K-Beauty and all I need to do is to go back to my roots --- my Chinese roots :P  and try the Douyin Trend.

Truth be told, I felt this trend is super beautiful, but because most Chinese influencers tend to go all out with filters - it does not feel as natural anymore that is why I have been putting this tutorial off because the real Douyin look would look weird on normal days! 

So obviously, I toned it down a bit and here's my version.

For the sake of photography and video, I used White Eyeliner on my waterline but given the chance I'd redo this and go out with it, I'd use my favorite cream/peach colored pencil liner from the same company that I used with the white called Ready Set Glow.

Here are the complete list of products that I used and you can check it out as you go along watching my quick video to achieve this look.

Douyin Blush Look

 

Nars launched their Air Matte Mousse in the midst of pandemic but that does not stop me from wearing them since I got them!

And now that things are going back to normal, I am more excited to create new and exciting looks with the said Air Matte Mousse.  I've been seeing Douyin look on Tiktok (Douyin is a Chinese version of Tiktok) and the girls usually do their makeup with exaggerated blush application close to the eye area!

Does this look work for girls in the 40s?  Do I look trying hard?  You be the judge!  But please be EXTRA NICE :P

The Douyin Blush trend consists of applying blush not only on the undereye area but also on the nose!  Most of the time, the blush shade used are the bright ones - not the subtle ones so I particularly picked Nars Air Matte Mousse in shade Scandalous - the darkest shade among the 3 blush I own.

In person, it does look a bit too exaggerated and I probably won't do this on regular days, I will do this trick only when I do video calls or if I want to take cute photos! :P
