L' Officiel Hommes


Exo-K boys turned into high class, masculine and strong looking men for L'Officiel Hommes.


A cutting edge, high end image was put together for this photoshoot.



Dressed in  designer brands such as Dior Homme, Dolce Gabbana, Versace, Gucci , Culture Call and Swarovski ; the members of Exo-K were able to pull off a classy almost couture look.

*You can  find these looks on each of the designers websites*

The boys of Exo-M showed off a bright and youthful appearance for the July Issue of Men's Health.

Contemporary Pop


In an issue of Contemporary Pop, Exo-M showed off a different side. With all members dressed in black suits and white button up shirts, the members gave off a suave and more mature image.

If theres one main point to EXO's style it is versatility, being able to show a bright and youthful image but also showing off a masculine side.

In part 2 of EXO Style I will go more in depth about EXO's style  with their stage and music video fashion.

In part 3 I will review their personal choice of fashion and airport fashion.

Please look forward to the next 2 parts and I hope you enjoyed part 1.

SHINee Airport Fashion // 샤이니 공항 패션

안녕하세요 여러분! ^^ It has been a while since I posted a new blog! This time we will take a look at SHINee's Airport Fashion that had become a hot topic lately, since SHINee has been traveling abroad more this year ^^


From left to right:
Key, Onew, Taemin , Jonghyun (top) and Minho (bottom)

SHINee's overall Airport Fashion can be described as casual but still maintaining a cool, fresh style.


From left to right:
Taemin, Onew, Minho, Key, Jonghyun

In the past year or two, SHINee has been noticed for taking on a more mature, masculine style in their image concepts. This can also be seen through their personal style choice, for airport fashion.


From left to right:
Taemin, Onew, Minho, Jonghyun, Key

Taemin had described in an interview, that his personal style is more simple than the image he carries for his band activities. This is apparent through his airport fashion choices. Taemin is usually seen wearing jeans, a simple shirt and either sneakers or boots for traveling, though he is sometimes seen with a few accesories such as a necklace, ring, bracelet, or sunglasses, like the pictures above.

Onew and Minho are also usually seen in more casual clothing when it comes to Airport Fashion. Onew mostly wearing jeans, boots or sneakers, and graphic T's or solid color jackets.




Minho, usually shows a sporty look, wearing a lot of sneakers, jeans, leather or sports jackets and almost always wears either a messenger or baseball style hat.


Jonghyun lives up to his nickname of Bling Bling Jonghyun not only in SHINee's promotional activities but also in his own style choices for airport fashion. Jjong almost always seen wearing a "hip hop" style usually featuring a backwards hat, his Beats headphones, jeans and sneakers or in some cases (like the picture above) boots. Out of all the SHINee members airport fashion choices, Jonghyun sports the most accesories, right after Diva Boy Key. ^^

Key, being the least casual out of all the SHINee members airport fashion always has a unique and interesting outfit on. Key loves bright colors and being himself, this is deffinately seen through his airport fashion. Most common pieces Key wears are skinny jeans, graphic T's, Sneakers with bright  colors or patterns, eoljjang glasses and more accesories than his fellow SHINee members ^^


And, of course, sunglasses are a must for all Idols traveling!

More pictures of SHINee's Airport Fashion!




I hope you enjoyed this blog post! Remember to leave comments about your thoughts on this post or any questions about the post! ^^

Eoljjang Style {Male 얼짱}

The term 얼짱, or Eoljjang is a Korean term for "best face."  Recently, it had turned into a subculture and style choice in mainly Korea, but has spread to Japan and some in China and eoljjang 's can become internet celebrities from posting pictures of themselves online dressed in eoljjang style.

Male 얼짱's are not usually focused on makeup look, but more of the cute gestures and expression in their photos. They also go towards more of a sexy yet still cute style in clothing, they also may wear pastel or brightly colored clothing, though some eoljjang wear darker style clothing.

However, some male eojjang's do wear BB Cream to hide any imperfections on their skin. They also use photoshop, though Ive noticed not as much as eoljjang girls. Big eyes are also an important feature in male eoljjangs.


{Male eoljjang}

{Popular Male Eoljjang, Kwak Min Jun}


Male eoljjang clothing style is made up of usually skinny jeans and glasses with no lenses. Styles may also include scarfs and messenger hats or beanies.


The best way to explain male eoljjang style is to show you, so I hope you find these helpful. For male eoljjang style, you can buy the clothing items almost anywhere, its not more about waht you wear, but how you wear it and your facial expression in your pictures.

{Oh Se Hun was an eoljjang before joining the Kpop boy group EXO)



As you can see from the pictures, male eoljjang style is a bit more diverse than uljjang girls. Other than the small differences mentioned in this post, there is not much different between male and female eoljjangs. ^.^

I hope this helped you to get your own eoljjang look! ^_~

Korean Eoljjang (얼짱) Tutuorial {Female 얼짱}

The term 얼짱, or Eoljjang is a Korean term for "best face." Eoljjang, started out as a competition amoung young korean girls (and later boys) to win a title of "eoljjang." Recently, it had turned into a subculture and style choice in mainly Korea, but has spread to Japan and some in China and eoljjang 's can become internet celebrities from posting pictures of themselves online dressed in eoljjang style.

Eoljjang's also all share similar features.

The eyes are the main focus of any Eoljjang look.


For a female eoljjang, the eyes are very important. For a true eoljjang look, you want to make your eyes look big and bright.
This type of look is simple to achieve.
First, thinly line your eyes with black or brown eyeliner on the upper and lower eyelids.
Eyeshadow isnt normally used in an eoljjang look, but if you want to use eyeshadow, go ahead! :)

Then you want to add a layer of mascarra on your upper and lower eyelashes. To make your eyes look even bigger, and more doll-like, hold your mascarra brush straight up and down, and apply to your lashes side to side to spread out your lower lashes.

I suggest applying a small amount of white eyeshadow or white eyeliner on the inner corners of your eyes to make them look brighter :)
Many Eoljjang girls also wear circle lenses to make their pupils look bigger.



Flawless and Pale looking Skin



Another important feature of an eoljjang is flawless looking and pale skin. This is usually done with photoshop before an eoljjang posts a picture. However, you can still achieve this kind of look with out photoshop if you follow the right steps! ^.^

You will have to apply various products in order to get this type of look. I suggest, applying toner to your face a few minutes before makeup application. Then, apply makeup primer and BB Cream or foundation, (normally I suggest getting a BB cream that matches your skintone, however, for this type of look I suggest a foundation that is about 1 shade lighter, but make sure it still looks natural.) Then apply highlighter to your T-zone and cheekbones. Then set you makeup with powder and apply your eye makeup.

Suggested Products:

BB Cream

Makeup Base or Primer

Highlighter
I suggest using this on your T-zone and cheekbones to highlight key features of your face.

Sculpting your face with powder is also suggested to make your face look smaller, however some skip this step and make their face smaller with photoshop :)

You also want to make sure that your powder matches your foundation, otherwise your look will not be natural.

To finish off your look, I suggest using a light layer of lip gloss to enhance your look. I highly recommend Lioele Blooming Glosses, they are of great quality and come in a variety of pretty colors. For an eoljjang look, I suggest a light pink or peachy color :)

**If you dont highlight your cheeks, I suggest adding a light pink or peach colored blush to your cheeks to enhance your look**



Eoljjang Clothes! ^.^

Eoljjang's dress in a cute style, usually having layers and pastel colors. Another trend with both Eoljjang girls and boys, is eoljjang glasses, which often have no lenses.

I hope you enjoyed this post and that it will help you achieve an eoljjang look. :)

You can find many of the pieces you need to give yourself a Kpop inspired look, right here! The store is 2 floors high and huge! I recommend shopping here if you are looking for a look inspired by F(x), or Girls' Generation as the womens pieces are feminine but funky and bright!



Necessary Clothing

Necessary Clothing
676 Broadway
Ny,Ny 10012
ChinaTown


Necessary Clothing is located in New York City and is a chinese clothing store. There are 2 locations in New York, that are right across the street from each other! Both stores carry almost the same clothing and shoes, but one store has 2 floors full of clothes and the other is 1 big open store. But both stores carry amazing clothing pieces and that can really help out your Kpop inspired looks.



I know for sure you can find something here that can expand your Kpop wardrobe! That is because I went to both stores and found several clothing items I had seen Kpop stars wear, if it wasnt exact, it was very similar! I found a purple top that was styles just like the Blue top with polka dots that Krystal wore in F(x)'s Hot Summer video!



Krystal wore a shirt very similar to this one in the Hot Summer Music Video. Hers was blue with white polka dots, but even though this is purple you can still get an inspired look to hers ^_^


Cant you picture F(x), 2ne1, or even SHINee wearing something like this? I can! :) This is a great piece to wear to show off a Kpop inspired look!

Shopping at the stores mentioned above, or any other asian clothing store you may come accross, is a great place to look for pieces for Kpop looks! Necessary clothing also sells a great selection of shoes,very similar to those that Ive seen Girls' Generation, Swincle, and Korean Actresses wearing.

The Face Shop

KoreaTown


At The Face Shop, you can find all the products you need to create the makeup looks of your favorite idols, actresses and models, or you can create your very own korean inspired  looks! ^_^


You can find, skin care products, hair care products and all the korean makeup you could think of! The Face Shop has a good variety of blushes, lip products, eyeshadows, and even makeup brushes. They also carry many different kinds of BB Cream for all different skin types ^_^


So, if youre looking to expand your already Kpop-ified wardrobe, or if you  just want a few pieces like your favorite idols, I really suggest you check out the stores I featured in todays blog!

**All stores featured are located in New York City, USA. All stores may not carry the same products and if you have trouble finding an actual store to visit, you can always check out the stores websites I posted with the addresses.**

Charmzone Red Wine DeAge Skin Care Products


Once again I will be reviewing a sample I got of Korean Cosmetics. Before I got this sample I had not heard about Charmzone Cosmetics, but I am very happy with the results and quality of this line of products.

{다시 한번 제가 한국 화장품있어 샘플을 검토한다. 이 샘플을 가지고 전에 Charmzone 화장품에 대해 들었 못했지만, 제품이 라인의 결과와 품질로 매우 기쁘게 생각합니다.}


{Full Size Products;Complete Line}




{Sample Package}

The sample package includes Cream,Essence,Toner and Emulsion.

"Red wine extract forms protective barrier that keeps away stress and UV rays to help maintain fresh, healthy skin." (Charmzoneusa.com)

Toner: Includes willow tree extract, blue-tonic,includes properties that make skin clearer and cleaner.It also helps to protect skin and boosting skin regeneration.

Emulsion:  Solid Powder ingredient helps to prevent oily skin by absorbing excess oils on your face. Contains grape stem cell extract and helps balance skins moisture.

Cream: Contains grape stem cell extract. Hydrates and softens skin. Helps prevent/repair wrinkles and keeps skin smooth and firm.

Essence: "enhances skin resilience, leaving skin firmer and smoother. Grape stem cell extract (culture extract of grape callose) and sprout extracts bring botanical vitality to tired skin, recharging and refreshing it. A wealth of nutrients from tomato, pomegranate, blueberry and others nourish and replenish skin." (charmzoneusa.com)

The samples came with enough product to use for about 3 or 4 days. In those 3 or 4 days, the appearance of my skin has improved alot. I will deffinately be buying the full sizes of the products.

Now, you might ask why someone so young would be using anti aging/deAging products. Well, these products arent just for people of a more mature age. Did you know that you start aging at 18 years old? So, its beneficial to start using these products early. This will help keep your skin looking and feeling healthy for much longer.

{샘플은 약 3 ~ 4 일 동안 사용할 수있는 충분한 제품과 함께 왔어요. 그 3 또는 4 일 동안 내 피부의 외관 왜 말하지 향상되었습니다. 확실히 제품의 전체 크기를 구입하는 것입니다.


그래서 젊은 사람이 안티 에이징 / 드 에이징 제품을 사용했을 자, 이제 왜 물어 수도 있습니다. 음,이 제품은 더 성숙한 나이의 사람들에게 단지 않습니다. 당신은 18 세 이상에서 노화 시작 사실을 알고 계셨습니까? 그래서, 자사의 이익이 초기 이러한 제품을 사용하여 시작합니다. 이것은 피부가 찾고 그렇게 오래 건강하게 느끼고 유지하는 데 도움이됩니다.}

Skinfood Mushroom Multicare BB Cream

Hello again! Its been a while since I have posted a review/blog!
But, not to worry, today I will be reviewing Mushroom BB Cream by Skinfood.

{또 안녕하세요! 제가 리뷰 / 블로그를 게시한 이래 상당한 시간이 지났!
그러나, 걱정 하지마, 오늘은 스킨 푸드가 버섯 BB 크림을 검토한다.}

I had previously ordered some products from bbcreamboutique.com and I had recieved a sample Skinfood Mushroom Multicare BB Cream. I have just gotten to try it out a few days ago and I am really happy with this product.

{나는 이전에 bbcreamboutique.com에서 일부 제품을 주문 셨고 난 샘플 스킨 푸드 버섯 Multicare BB 크림도했다.제가 몇 일전에 한번 사용해 약해진 것 그리고이 제품 정말 기쁘게 생각합니다.}


I am very happy that I got this sample in my order! This BB Cream has great features! It covers well with just a small amount, so it doesnt have a heavy feeling. This product also lasts well throughout the day and does not get oily or weigh down on your face. After application, it gives your skin a bright, healthy and natural look.

{나는 나의 순서로이 샘플을 가지고하는 것이 매우 기쁩니다! 이 BB 크림은 훌륭한 기능을 가지고 있습니다! 그냥 소량으로 잘 다루고, 그래서 무거운 느낌이 없습니다. 이 제품은 또한 하루 종일 잘 지속하고 기름진거나 얼굴에 내리 누르다하지 않습니다. 신청 후, 그것은 당신의 피부에게 밝고 건강하고 자연적인 모양을 제공합니다.}


The Mushroom Multicare BB Cream comes in two shades that are both natural looking for your skin tone. If you have a lighter skin tone I recommend getting shade 1, but if you have a darker undertone I recommend getting shade 2 to keep your look natural and clean.

{버섯 Multicare BB 크림은 피부 색조를 찾고 두 천연 두 그늘된다. 당신은 가벼운 피부 색조가있다면 나는 그늘 1을 받고 권장하지만 어두운 저류가있다면 당신의 모습은 자연을 더럽히지 않으 그늘 2를 받고하는 것이 좋습니다.}

Another benefit of this product is that it has SPF in it, (much like most types of BB Cream). After a few uses, it can make your skin look healthier even after youve removed your makeup, and even out your skin tone over time. Its like makeup and skincare in one! ^_^ It also has anti-aging and whitening properties!

{이 제품의 또 다른 장점은 그것의 SPF (많은 BB 크림 대부분의 종류와 같은)를 가지고있다는 것입니다.몇 가지 사용 후 당신의 피부가 당신의 메이크업을 제거한 후에도 건강하게 보이게하고, 심지어 시간이 지남에 네 피부색 아웃. 수 하나의 같은 메이크업과 스킨케어! ^ _ ^ 또한 안티 에이징과 미백 속성을 가지고 있네요!}

Where to buy it:

**I am not associated with any of the companies I mention in my blog and have not been payed to review these products. Any recommendations I make are of my own experience with the product and of my own opinion.**
