Hi guys. Hana is back :)
Today i will discuss about Ulzzang.
I think for Kpop stan it's not familiar anymore what Ulzzang is since there are so much Ulzzang have been successful to be model for online shops and CF, even become celebrities such as Kiseop U-KISS, Jooyeon After School, Hyomin T-ARA, Goo Hye Sun, etc. So now, i will introduce to you guys what Ulzzang is.
Ulzzang is particularly pronounce 'Oljjang' (얼 짱) which means "best face" (얼 굴 + 짱). Ulzzang firstly came up in South Korea. Since then until now, many Korean boys and girls became Ulzzang.
Not only in Korea, Ulzzang spread all over Asia, even Europe.
Ulzzang generally have unique looks, also have many visitors in Cyworld (Cyworld is a mini homepage in Korea). Usually they gain hundred, thousand, even million visitors in a couple of month.
Eyes are the main focus and concept of the look. They usually use a lot of product to make their eyes very large such as circle lens, eyelid glue (for mono eyelid), long fake eyelashes, eyeliner, etc. They also have fair skin, pointed nose, thin small lips like anime character. And they also use a lot of editing websites or software like Photoshop, Haduri, Cyworld Photo Editor, Meitu Xiu Xiu and others to make theirselves look prettier.

Now, i'll tell you how to be an Ulzzang.
1. Get the look
Make sure your face is clean and sanitary.
2. The Make Up
**Before that, Prep your face before applying the make up. If your skin is too dry, moisturize, if its oily, wash it. Doing this will ensure the make up can adhere well to the skin, and so it lasts longer all day.
**Next, put circle lenses into your eyes. This way is much better than photoshop since circle lenses can make your eyes look adorable like a doll. The most popular colors are black, brown, and gray.
**Eyelid glue can be useful for mono eyelid. Apply eyelid glue and tape to the eyes and using the pusher stick, poke into the lid what shape you want until you get a crease.
**Then, use foundation/powder (the bright one) to cover all blemishes and spots. if its hard, use concealer.
**Apply you eyeshadow, mascara, and fake eyelashes.
**Apply your fav liquid eyeliner and false under lashes
**Now that your eyes are done, apply either clear or pink ligloss to your lips. Optionally you can lightly put a little blush on your cheeks. Your face is now done!
3. The Hair
Hair is also important. Usually the females have straight or side swept bangs with curly or straight hair. Use a curler to curl your hair loosely or straighten it if you want to. The males usually have a layered short (not too short) hair style, with side swept bangs. A popular new style is to have wavy hair. The important is make sure it looks neat, clean and natural.

5. Editing
Ulzzang like edit their photos to give some cute effect. But incase you know, don't edit your photo too much because your photo weird instead cute.
I think that's it. Hope this will help y'all :)
