- Hi everyone, it's Irene Kim here
and I'm very, very excited
to walk you through
my daily skin-care routine
and my daily makeup look.
First, I'm going to wash my face.
Lather it up.
Now the next step is, toner!
This is just a brand,
a dermatologist brand
from Korea that I've been using for years.
And it's just very, very
good for irritated skin.
So I get the ears, behind the neck.
Don't forget this area.
Next up, is my secret serum,
that I get, it's actually the leftovers
that I get after my facials
that I do once a week in Korea.
And, the dermatologist just packs it up
and I can travel with it.
I don't really know
what it is but it works.
And then I have my face mask.
This is also a Korean brand.
It's called BNV Biolab.
And this is just like
another moisturizing mask.
Oh and this is tricky because
there's like leftovers
on the front part.
And like, I usually put it
on before I put the mask on.
Like you don't wanna waste.
Oh I look crazy.
Oh my gosh.
I look like the Scream character.
I'm gonna put the leftovers on my legs.
Don't wanna waste it.
I'm going to take this serum,
it's just vitamin C
serum from SkinCeuticals.
For me, I consider skincare as eating.
So whatever you put into your body,
will reflect on you, know your energy
and you have to customize.
It depends on the day
and how your skin feels.
Like what city you're in,
what environment you're in.
Right now I'm traveling
so much so I take extra
care to moisturize to give my
skin the right food for it.
Next up, another serum.
I'm going to show you my
super secret beauty tool.
Ta-da!
A spoon guys.
So you don't need any fancy tools.
I keep it in the fridge
for a couple minutes
and then you just de-puff.
So, the first part is you go
like, up along the cheek-bone.
And just do upward movements.
See the difference?
No?
Yes?
It just like circulates
the blood flow on your face
and really just like drains the lymphs.
And then, the edge part, what I do is
I take it, and it's like you're
scooping up your jawline.
The [speaking Korean].
You know, sometimes for
events like you're wearing
a low cut top or a dress.
You wanna really get that nice line.
And just like, drain it all out!
Drain out the bad vibes!
Now that I had my serum
and I've de-puffed my face,
I'm going to go into my moisturizer.
This is something that I discovered
as my skin started to breakout
in the beginning stages of my career.
One of the reasons why I was breaking out,
I didn't realize, was
I was allergic to oils.
And I used to slather
coconut oil all over my face
because like, some article on Google said
it was like the best thing for you
and then I went to my dermatologist,
I took an allergy test.
Everything is not for everyone.
And the next step is, another moisturizer!
It's a lot heavier than the
first cream that I used.
But because I'm doing like
a dewy, skin look today,
I'm just gonna layer on a little bit more.
Sunblock.
Sunblock, I put on religiously.
I even put it on in the evenings.
Not before bed, but
I'm going out at night,
and I have to get ready,
I'll put on sunblock.
Because there are also a lot of
UV rays in lighting obviously.
So I do not leave the
house without sunblock.
Even if I'm going to a deli
to get milk or something,
I will put on sunblock
when I leave the house.
And then, the next step is, more sunblock!
So this is a BB cream with SPF.
This consistency is a lot
more like a foundation.
The other one is kind of
like a lightweight serum.
But I like to use this also as a base.
Next step, I'm going
to apply my foundation.
When I took a allergy test
with my dermatologist in Korea,
she recommended these stick foundations
and I've been using them for
like five or six years now.
[soft music]
So I'm going for like a, my
everyday go-to makeup look.
It's like this, kind of
peachy, dewy, pinky look.
So I'm gonna take this
color, Peaches and Cream
all over my, eye.
Oh it smells peachy too.
Then I'm gonna take a brush
and use the same color
and just like, go under part of my eye.
I like to go under because
it just gives an illusion
of more depth and definition
because I do have you know,
very almond shaped eyes.
Oh yeah.
Before I layer on more shadow,
I'm going to do eyeliner.
So one thing that I have a
tip for, for eyeliner is,
you know how some people or
most people will angle your face
into the mirror and do the eyeliner?
And then come back and realize
like it's too high, too low?
So what I do is, I look in
the mirror and I just look
straight forward and then,
I shape my eyeliner.
So you can get the exact
angle that you want.
Hey, that's pretty good.
And then I'm gonna go in and
just fill in my lash line.
It's time for the most
important part of my routine.
Is curling my eyelashes.
I'm very, very particular
about my eyelashes.
In general, I think Asian's
eyelashes are very straight
and to curl them, is just like,
a whole a big deal for me.
They need to always be curled.
It's like you need to do
like an upward movement
as you like clamp but like soft clamps.
So, you start deep in and then
go woop, woop, woop, woop.
And then you get this
like nice swoosh curl.
Oh yeah, see?
See how that like opens up my eyes?
I'm gonna go back to my pallet.
This one is just peachy.
I'm just gonna go and swoop it across
so you get this like, semi-ombre effect.
And then I'm going to take a liner brush
and use the same color just
on the corner of my eye.
One thing about Korean makeup,
it's all in the really,
really, tiny details.
Even if it's like, the
smallest dot or smallest
like swipe of a certain color
of eyeshadow or layering,
it makes such a huge difference.
I'm gonna take Fresh Picked
and then I'm just gonna go
like, right along the bottom lash.
So I'm just gonna take
one of the darker colors
and just go right in the
middle of my bottom lash line,
I'm not gonna go all the way through.
And then it just like
opens it up magically.
Okay, next step is, mascara.
So this is just like a
mascara booster thing.
I'm just gonna put a few swipes on.
So when I apply mascara, I
don't use the full brush.
I like to use the tip and just like.
And this my beauty hack that I learned
from makeup artists in Korea.
I probably wouldn't recommend
you to try this at home
because it involves fire.
And a broken end of a used Q-tip.
So fancy.
So what I do is, I take
the lighter and heat up
the wooden stick.
Maybe like four seconds.
And just like use your
hands to see if it's warm.
Then I'm just gonna curl it up.
I know some people heat
up the eyelash curler
but what the heat does,
I don't know maybe it's
like scientific or a reaction.
But it takes off all the excess clumpiness
of the mascara as well.
So as it curls.
See, like you can see the excess mascara.
Like it removes it too.
So it gives a lot more of
a natural eyelash look.
Make sure it's a wooden Q-tip
because if it's plastic,
like obviously it's gonna melt.
So I just love bushy brows.
I think they're natural and beautiful.
Like even these little baby hairs.
I just leave them.
And I'm gonna use my little baby
brow mascara from Benefit.
The name is so cute, Gimme Brow.
Gimme, gimme.
This side is up and this side is down
so I used the mascara to
like brush this side up
to make it more even.
The next step is, blush!
So this is the bottom part
where it has the blush.
And then the stop part is, twist it open.
[gasping]
Ta-da!
It's a heart!
So cute right?
So I'm just gonna stamp it.
So I'm just gonna go in the center.
[giggling]
And then I have my three lip colors.
Two of them are from Giorgio Armani
and one is from Fenty.
So I'm gonna use the first one.
This is, Lip Maestro.
And just like, go all over my lip.
And use my fingers to just blend.
I just like the natural look.
And then take the pinkier color
and just go in the center
to give us that ombre effect.
Just a few dabs.
And then I just add a touch of gloss.
And I think I'm done!
Take the clips off.
I'm just gonna brush through
my hair with my tangle teaser.
People make fun of me all the
time for carrying this around
but it's literally the best brush ever.
Make sure you don't have
any lipstick on your teeth.
And that's it!
I'm done.
This is just like my daily
look that I do everyday
for events or when I have
to do my makeup on my own.
Just giving the MFBB look.
My face but better, with
the glowy healthy skin.
Make sure you guys you
know, it's just as important
what you put in and the different steps
that you have for your skincare routine
as much as you know, the
garnish, which is the makeup.
Thank you guys so much
for follow along with me.
Bye!
