    Just some tips (not that you need them) for douyin base makeup. Chinese makeup is supper matte and high coverage, don't make the mistake of doing dewy barely there Korean makeup, they usually wear two blushes, one is very light-cool toned to brighten the under eyes and the other is going to do the actual blushing. They are extremely specific with contour, nose contour never makes your nose smaller but taller, never use bronzer and make sure to powder everything.

      yeah i have a question regarding matte and high coverage, i see she used a very soft color to do the lower lashline and I feel like with that dewy base it wouldn't last very long, especially if you go out or if it's hot or humid. how can you make shadows or pencils last longer? if i don't use primer and thick concealer those very soft browns won't last AT ALL, esp considering my oily skin. I sometimes even wet the shadow/pencil before applying. what's the trick?

    Whenever i see western influencers try East Asian makeup looks, the biggest mistake i see is how they do the eyeliner. They often do a much bigger and thicker eyeliner than intended, use black, thick and bold eyeliner and still follow the traditional western way of eyeliner which s upwards, creating a cat eye effect that is popular in western makeup. The point is to have a soft eyeliner, that is delicate and go downwards instead of upwards. Often times, brown eyeshadow or gel liner is used instead of a black liner, and if a felt or brush eyeliner is used, it’s still brown and very thin.

      Yes ⬆️!!! I love Alex's simple looks! I am doing some OTT eye looks lately tho, having discovered that small hooded eyes & strong glasses are a superpower...now that they make pale shadows bright enough, I can define my tiny exposed eyelid with those, then truly go nuts as long as I keep vivids/shimmers below the crease. Turns out my natural architecture (ie my bony, poky face) & my glasses create a soft focus effect. If I use liner & a bright, light shadow, I can create all kinds of extra drama and it gets naturally dimmed a bit. I get to have fun with 6 color looks, but at work, there's just a hint of extra. I even managed to look professional at our free community holiday extravaganza (lol free face painting AND free santa photos, we live large here) with red glitter eyes lol. Alex helped me embrace my hooded eyes & enjoy the fun! Altho when I do certain tasks, then museum or park guests can see that the nice grownup hippy lady is actually wearing a "harlot" of makeup 😂😂😂 the old Olds do not approve.

    as an Asian woman who wears douyin makeup regularly, I have some constructive criticism:
    Wocan (or aegyosal in korean), is the pouch of fat under the eye. They usually emphasize it by using MATTE eyeshadow to highlight the fat and contour right below it. Glitter on that area is usually more of a Korean look than a Chinese look. The lower outer corner of the eye is extended with a reddish brown contour, liner, and false eyelashes drawn on.
    The whole point of the lashes is to have pointy clusters, giving a doll-like appearance (look up "manhua lashes"). They usually achieve this by using either individual clusters of falsies or a strip lash with that pattern.
    Douyin makeup should be matte and full coverage! the whole point of the look is to have clean, powdery, cloud-like skin. (Dewy makeup is currently more of a Korean trend)
    Nose contour is a big part of the look, and your nose should end up looking wide and "tall" (or protruding). You should use a cool toned, almost grey color for contour (fenty amber might work).
    Blush is almost always placed somewhere under the eye, never extending below the nose. They usually use blush to either bring attention to the center of the face or to diminish the appearance of cheekbones.
    Highlighter is usually placed in the inner corners, and on the nose in two dots (one at the tip, one at the bridge). Once again, the face should be MATTE !! So no face highlighter.
    While it's cool that you're trying out makeup styles from different cultures, you should watch a few tutorials from the women doing the makeup so you understand the key points of the style.
    Looking forward to seeing how you improve!

I did have a question, though. Do you think that her prefacing with "my take on douyin makeup" would absolve her from needing to do this look the way it's traditionally achieved? The way I personally understood the video, it seemed like she was doing her own spin on the look rather than sticking strictly to it, but maybe you interpreted it differently. 🙂

      @hilarykim4565 ปีที่แล้ว +131

      @@chambless09 I think that there are ways to interpret makeup styles into one's own style while still emulating the original inspiration! I don't expect her to wear big colored contacts or draw on fake lower lashes, but there are key points to douyin makeup (e.g. matte skin, cool contour, spiked lashes) that she missed. I think that her doing just one or two of these would justify the title of the video.
      To me it seemed she was a bit confused as to what douyin makeup is, especially since it's a specifically Chinese style (and isn't featured in a Japanese show or in other East Asian mainstream media because they all have their own distinct makeup styles). As far as I can tell, she just did her normal makeup but with pink eyeshadow, glitter, and a korean lip tint (none of which are special/unique to douyin makeup).
      Also, just because it's her take on the style, it doesn't mean that her interpretation is immune to criticism. While art is subjective, there are ways to interpret things in a way that is successful or unsuccessful/lacking, and I definitely felt that she fell in the latter category.

    Very pretty! If you wanna try more techniques, I would recommend using more glittery eyeshadows since they're used a lot in douyin and kbeauty looks. Also if you use a white eyeliner to draw a curved line (?) above your crease and then apply glitter over it, it really helps create that sparkly cut crease look you see a lot in douyin makeup. As for the under eyes, I've seen people use some concealer right below where they shaded the eye bag to clean it up (personally I focus more on brightening right under my eyes since I have hollow under eyes naturally and it can end up looking darker than I intended). Another technique I've been trying recently is placing blush closer to the eyes and also not taking it all the way up your cheekbones, kinda limiting it to where your eyes end I guess. Would love to see you try a full face :)

      that blush placement is super cute! I think I've heard it called "drunk blush" before iirc, which is a fitting name because it's like the flush you get while drinking

    Hey Alex! From a pale + neutral girl, highly rec the Purito BB cream as your base if you do full douyin makeup :) Super super lovely formula. Some of my fave brands for this type of look: rom&nd, judy doll (the donut highlighting powder), florrte, reveline.

    YEAAAHH I was one of the many who requested a video like that a few months ago? I tweeted something like that anyway. I’m so happy!!! 🥹
    There are several types of douyin makeup ofc, and I mostly see 2 really popular styles: the cute ‘crying’ rabbit type makeup: wide blush that connects with pink/reddish eyeshadow, dewy skin, aegyosal (under eye fat) on full display, glossy lip, lots of glitter; and the more classic douyin makeup: matte eyeshadow, black cat eyeliner + inner corners, matte skin, individual V shaped lashes (manhua), and overdrawn blurry lips. I think both styles are great but I personally really like the latter, it’s badass yet very clean and minimal at the same time!
    I think the look is great Alex, if you’d like to explore different type of makeup styles around the world (particularly around East Asia but that’s my bias talking lol) I would LOVE IT~~ thank you 💗
    *Edited to add:* C-Beauty suggestions:
    - Flower Knows
    - KALEIDOS (highly recommend the highlighters and contours)
    - ZEESEA
    - Judydoll
    - Perfect Diary
    - Colorkey
    - HEDONE
    *Edit 2:* an idea if you wanna try other countries’ makeup styles: doing a collab with a beauty influencer from that country and/or with that heritage; that way they could teach/show you and help you learn about local beauty brands/products, trends, and even the culture or the language! I think in this case it’d be helpful, and they could help your subscribers differentiate between types of makeup: Japanese, Korean, and Chinese- which have many variations ofc, just like there’s not one specific ‘American’ makeup. You could do it in person (but it’s not always possible) or just online! Plus it could help grow your own audience and theirs. Win win! You could even make it into a series lol. Free idea for you!
    I’m suggesting that because I see people kinda mixing everything up in the comments about East Asian makeup being all the same, and putting Korean/Japanese/Chinese styles in the same bag when it’s not, but I don’t fault people. They just need to be shown the differences and they’ll probably understand. But it’s not your role to educate them lol. I figure a collab is a way to do it + boost your channel + showcase some talented MUA/influencers!

    This is what I’ve spent 2 years looking for!!! I follow several Asian makeup channels (part. ANDA) that I have been studying so hard, just to try to figure this out, and I swear it’s always kind of hard to see since they do use such light colors! So you’re version just nailed all that down for me and I will be spending my Sunday playing around with this look!!! THANK YOU!! I wish I could express how happy I am now, but there just are not words to describe it.
    And I would love to see a whole face look, but this is all i needed and have spent tremendous hours looking for!! You’re amazing!! 🥰

    Douyin *is* Chinese TikTok. Same company. Mostly Chinese celebs and influencers are on it doing their thing like mostly non-Chinese folks do on TikTok, including makeup. So "Douyin makeup" is Chinese makeup, which trends on Douyin. Also all the clips I've ever seen shared from Douyin have a little tag at the end that says "Douyin" which sounds like "doh-yin". I remember seeing those before I knew what TikTok was, lol.

    • @valerieinto

I like that it appeared pretty simple to pull off-- I've been playing with makeup for over 20 years, since my teens, and I've never been able to get anything to look quiiiite as effortless as this. Turns out that "simple" is actually complex. Whoda' thunk? Now that I see it, I have ~an idea~ of what I'm going for. Thanks Alex!!!

    I think dark brown eyeliner & mascara would’ve made the look less harsh/contrasting & a lot more natural, since you have blonde hair! & to achieve that blurry lip effect I’ve seen girls cover the outer lip lines with foundation first, you get a smoother gradient.

    Loved your take on this Asian makeup style, especially with hooded eyes! I haven't been exposed to this Chinese version that you did and was a bit alarmed initially with the contouring of the under eye area... But it really came together! My primary exposure to Asian (specifically Korean) makeup is through PONY, and actually I think she was my first exposure to how-to makeup videos many years ago. Maybe you can get some inspo from her style/process and do a video on a Korean look! I'm not too great at makeup still, but really appreciate your videos and how real, relatable, and willing you are to share makeup tips/tricks/process/mistakes/experiments!

  • @itsokaytho
    @itsokaytho ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I think the look is already giving but some parts/steps on the wings, lower part lines & aegyosal (underbag) steps is quite not right as how the asians usually did.
    Maybe you can see it clearly on how Pony did her regular eyelook & u will understand the standard way to create this douyin eyes.
    Peripera velvet ink is not a blur type one, they have a different one in packaging for a blur lip product. Rom&nd also have a tint called Blur Fudge tint.
    But overall it is still a look✨
