miss A Suzy’s Secret for Maintaining Skin? “I Am Young”

[raviolikenshin.livejournal.com]

Recently, miss A’s Suzy surprised Netizens and television viewers with her “4^th dimension response.” (A response that was “out there.”)

She appeared on the May 2 broadcast of KBS 2’s “Entertainment Report” alongside fellow drama “Big” cast members Lee Min Jung and Gong Yoo.

Lee Min Jung, who appears on many different makeup ads and is well-known for her perfect skin, was asked how she takes care of her skin. She answered that laughing is an important way that she maintains her skin.

Suzy was asked the same question and she replied with, “I think it is because I am young.” Gong Yoo and Lee Min Jung began to laugh and they agreed with her.

When asked what Lee Min Jung’s first impression of Suzy was, she answered, “She is like a doll. I am a doll that is a bit old, and she is one that was just produced.”

“Big” will have its first broadcast tonight on June 4. (KST)

The comparison of the old and new doll is a bit disconcerting to me...


BB creams are dangerous! I let my friend try my lioele waterdrops one and then she went home and got 7 different BB creams for herself . All at once.

[raviolikenshin.livejournal.com]

yeah the article is kinda bullshit (save for suzy's sassy reply) but i really wanted to have a beauty post ;_;

holy...i wish i was rich enough to buy seven at once lol

I just wanna say I have tried so hard to like bb cream but all the ones I've tried are all too light for me, and I'm not even dark, just yellow!

[raviolikenshin.livejournal.com]

one i just bought (holika holika aqua jelly bb cream) turned me orange o.O never thought i would find one that would do that.

[sayufied.livejournal.com]

I stopped using brand name foundations, and am obsessed with BB cream.
I am a make up crazed person!..I walk into Sephora almost errday!!

I do, though, wanna get the new Chanel foundation...the Lumiere and the VitaLumiere, just to try it out.

And I do have acne scarring, so BB cream really do wonders for me.
I've also been using Mario Badescu products, they helped my skin SOOO much, my scars are slowly fading away.

Also I got 2 new concealers that I won't leave the house without having them on:
MAC studio finish and Tarte concealer.

I usually use the Tarte for my dark circles and the MAC studio finish for my acne scars!


Any home made remedies or products you fuys swear by on how to treat acne scars...or does anyone have any Q's on make up

FLAWFREE OP TBH!!!!

[sayufied.livejournal.com]

OMG OP.....Didn't notice you posted this only after I checked twitter!!!
Girrrrl you got a lot of skin care products, what do you recommend!?!?!?

[cotxpaxi.livejournal.com]

bb cream makes me look gray.

[sayufied.livejournal.com]

You could mix it with a bronzer or a foundation that is close to your skin tone.
It really does work, I've tried it more than once.

[jacky-snoopy.livejournal.com]

I haven't been able to buy/try any BB Creams as of yet.
But I feel like they'll be too light for me :(((

[sayufied.livejournal.com]

You can mix the BB cream with a foundation that is your skin tone or a shade darker and you only need a bit and it would work!! ^^

Give it a try!

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

i don't put a lot of stuff on my face and i use clinique products but this is the only thing i will really pimp out:



this is product that got me to stop using chapstick. i used to be addicted to that but as it turns out there were addictive qualities in them shits anyway and they did not actually moisturize my lips. i swear by this product. it's 15 dollars and it lasted me like 2-3 years before i ran out. don't use chapstick yall, just moisturize your lips with this

[stopjustlisten.livejournal.com]

this doesn't have spf but i've used this shit for like my entire life it's SO good



and it costs like 5 dollars

[ashyvt.livejournal.com]

I'm brown so I can't use bb creams. :'((((((((((((((
I use bobby brown though, and its aiighht.

[sayufied.livejournal.com]

Armani has good foundations, also Chanel is getting AMAZING reviews for their new Lumiere foundation. You can get samples and try 'em out!

[taecmyheart.livejournal.com]

lol /sits here with close-to-zero knowledge of makeup.

[jacky-snoopy.livejournal.com]

lol same!

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

Just popping into say I love Dior Snow and how that shit seems to be made especially for Asian skin. LOVE. IT. I generally have to choose between it and food but it's worth it tbh...

[raviolikenshin.livejournal.com]

what would you say is the mvp of that line? i hate experimenting with expensive whitening products, mostly because i'm pretty pale already and don't need them ;_;

but ever since snsd endorsed i've been curious lol

[donutism.livejournal.com]

I am going to buy a truckload of BB creams when I go back to Asia, because they are too expensive and hard to find in NZ. ;~;

[nzpnkrckrgrl.livejournal.com]

lol. i just saw this comment.
Did you know you can buy Garnier BB Cream in supermarket. It's actually pretty good. It's pretty different from Korea's BB cream. The Garnier one is pretty good, did nice stuff to my skin and feels like a moisturer compare to some BB cream i've used.
Have you visit Miss Ha btw?

[rosamajalis.livejournal.com]

I really want to get some BB cream, but because I have to order it online I'm really worried that my skin will be too pale for them (and thus, waste my money ;_; ).

Beauty/make-up thread reminds me that I need to buy more pore putty sometime soon.

[windygables.livejournal.com]

but bb creams are for pale skin ! Usually they'll oxidize to match your skin tone too

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

Also the only things I'll really shell out money for are skin-related products like moisturizing cream, primers and a really good powder/foundation. The rest of my makeup is virtually always free because they're ~free gifts~ that Lancome or Estee Lauder (my faves) always give me lol. So yeah, paying for mascara, lip gloss, etc is overrated. It's a good tip. Oh, except eyeliner. I'll pay for that.

Always must haves:
-The best powder everrrrr (http://www.lancome-usa.com/Dual-Finish/359808,default,pd.html?dwvar_359808_color=Matte%20Amande%20III%20%28W%29&start=2&cgid=makeup-powder)
-The best primer ever (http://www.lauramercier.com/store/shop/Primers_Oil-Free-Foundation-Primer_prod210042)
-Fave eyeliner (http://www.lancome-usa.com/Artliner/12230,default,pd.html?dwvar_12230_color=Aubergine&start=4&cgid=makeup-liners-pencils)

[lonelymoon.livejournal.com]

I HATE the gwps because it's like OOH FREE STUFF IF I BUY SOMETHING I DON'T NEED. And then the colors turn out to be bleh and not flattering on me at all ;o;

[jacky-snoopy.livejournal.com]

I have some problems with acne, redness, acne scars, uneven skin tone, oily/combination skin, big pores, and blackheads (omg sounds like my skin is totally effed up but its really not that bad, I swear lol) so if anyone has any recommendations on techniques, remedies, products, whatever that will help me out with any of this stuff it will be very appreciated, thanks~! \^O^/

[jacky-snoopy.livejournal.com]

oh and recommendations for some bb creams too! thanks! \o/

[stopjustlisten.livejournal.com]

hm i like korean beauty products but in terms of skin care japanese brands trump korean ones by a lot

the only non asian brand i actually use is dermalogica. i use the skin renewal booster serum and my face is pretty flawless lol. i used to have little bumps from sun damage on my forehead and now it's really smooth like a baby's ass

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

Yeah I have a few Shiseido foundation roller sticks and they're really great for quick touch ups and just go on SO SMOOTHLY and look so good. When I was younger I used to not care but lately I think cosmetics researched for a certain type of skin tone/ethnicity (since we yellow people really do have more golden undertones) are worth it 'cause it's almost like a totally custom fit for your face. Like perfect lighting all day.

[melizah.livejournal.com]

It's so difficult to find something good for my skin, since I have atopic skin -.-.
Trying products for dry/sensitive skin doesn't work either and I don't wanna look like a have a ton of something on my face.

Sometimes my skin is dry, sometimes it's less dry and less red. I put moisturizing cream usually two times on my face, sometimes mixed with some foundation.

Has anyone the same as me, atopic dermatitis?

[chunsakuma.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to say that I hear people say all the time that BB creams generally only have the coverage of tinted moisturiser and they are full of shit. lol I have such bad skin that I look like I'm on meth or something without makeup and I still use (and love) BB cream. Every one that I've tried has had great coverage. Never ever going back to regular foundation~

[raviolikenshin.livejournal.com]

yeah whenever ppl say that i'm like...i literally have no idea what u r talking about! i think those ppl mostly try like...garnier bb cream or some other bastardized version.

if anything a lot of bb creams i've tried have better coverage than really cheap drugstore foundations.

[aeryro.livejournal.com]

i use etude house precious mineral bb cream + compact every day.. you can definitely feel it just sitting (heavily at times) on the surface on your face but i like that feeling lmao

[windygables.livejournal.com]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good facial moisturizer? I've been using Holika Holika's bulgarian rose moisturizing cream but would prefer one that breaks my bank less. ; o ;
Usually my skin feels fine with lotions on but it ends up feeling tight and dry after i wash my face still

[raviolikenshin.livejournal.com]

how is that moisturizer? i got a sample of it, but i'm scared to use it because it's soooo perfumey.

i'm also horrified to switch away from my regular one, shiseido the skincare daily moisture. i can't really recommend you that one tho because it's not cheap (at least not imo)

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

Loving the hell out of Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butters lately. I'm not a lipstick person, but the fact that it's basically super tinted lip balm is making me happy!

[chunsakuma.livejournal.com]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I LOVE THESE. Sugar Frosting is my jam and Creme Brulee is pretty great too.

[muzegrey.livejournal.com]

Here are some (half) all-natural skin tips for people with uber dry skin!

Makeup remover:
Skin Food Milk Mania Cream Cleanser (put it on your face in a light layer then remove with tissue gently).

Wash your face with oatmeal, not a cleanser:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e5_RVBwNjE

Mask:
5 tbs whole wheat flour
3 tbs honey
1 lemon juice
(might need to adjust a little to make it stick)

Mix it up into a mask and leave it on your face for 30 mins, rinse. It is thick (be careful of getting it on your hair!) and makes you look like a monster, but the lemon acid gets rid of dead skin and the honey moisturizes and softens. I do this two - three times a week depending on the condition of my skin.

Also for my exfoliant I use brown sugar and mix it with honey. Let the honey soak into the brown sugar and soften it first so that it's kind of like a soft dough. Then use it like a normal exfoliant.

For a Toner I use Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Balancing Softener:
http://www.sephora.com/search/search.jsp?keyword=shiseido%20toner&_requestid=4827

It's the only one that doesn't dry me out.

For night time moisturizer I mix Clarins HydraQuench Cream + Korres Pomegranate Balancing Cream-Gel Moisturizers:
http://www.sephora.com/hydraquench-cream-for-normal-to-dry-skin-P201429?skuId=1054204
http://www.sephora.com/pomegranate-balancing-cream-gel-moisturiser-P305109?skuId=1393156

For day I had been using Clinique for dry skin but I like Clarins HydraQuench SPF so much better:
http://www.sephora.com/hydraquench-cream-spf-15-P231800?skuId=1156108

For makeup:

For summer this cream blush/highlight Nars Illuminator:
http://www.sephora.com/illuminator-P284301?skuId=1307552
I love Super Orgasm

Dior Iconic Mascara: BEST MASCARA EVER. <3
http://www.sephora.com/diorshow-iconic-mascara-P218791

BB Cream - Face Shop Magic BB Cream I usually dislike Face Shop but this gets rid of my pimples and makes my skin super soft. The color is a bit gray, so I mix a bit of foundation with it to brighten it.

[windygables.livejournal.com]

Do you need organic honey for the face masks? I heard from some that you should use organic vs. non-organic for facials but I'm still not sure to this day whether it really makes a difference

[lovemaple.livejournal.com]

bless this post, gonna comb through everyone's comments for skincare recs so i can finally do something about my pizza face lmao

[deerlike.livejournal.com]

Has anyone got tips for minimizing redness, especially in an area where a pimple is healing?

[muzegrey.livejournal.com]

I have awful redness/scarring. The Lemon Honey mask I posted up there helps a lot!

[muzegrey.livejournal.com]

Also, I agree with her "I'm young statement!"
I used to have flawless skin no pimples or anything until I hit 19 and then BAM! Now I have terrible skin and awful pimples and have since then.

[deerlike.livejournal.com]

Ditto - it all went downhill once I graduated high school. :/ It didn't help that I got my period late (at 15), and it was irregular for a few years.

[deerlike.livejournal.com]

I'm also looking for bb cream recs - I use Bobbi Brown foundation in Warm Beige 3.5, and I'd like to find a bb cream that matches that shade. I've heard that Missha makes a lot of beige shades, but I can't figure out which one would be right for me.

[muzegrey.livejournal.com]

Missha is awful for your skin. Especially the red one. It will break you out!

The one I used for a long time in Korea was the Etude House moisturizing one. I'm super pale though so I'm not sure about your skin color, I think it came in two or three colors.

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

oh yeah i just realized i needed more lipstick in my life and im looking for matte, moisturizing, and longlasting. what are some good brands for each type? also i really dig the nude lips look, does anyone have any tips on how to get the right kind to match/complement my skin tone as well as good brands to achieve that?

[lonelymoon.livejournal.com]

If you want cheaper matte lipsticks, NYX has a decent matte lipstick line, if you can find it. NYX isn't the easiest brand to get, but you can usually find it at an Ulta. As far as I know, none of the major drug stores where I live (Rite-Aid, Walgreens, CVS) carries it. If you want something that may be easier to get, Revlon has a decent matte lipstick line that's available pretty much anywhere, but it may be harder to find and you'll need to do some research to get the shade that you actually want.

If you're willing to spend more (like $14.50~) per lipstick, MAC is the place to go. Their lipsticks have the finish (like matte, creme, satin) labeled on the tube, so you can find a color and finish you want fairly easily on the website or in person.

For skin tone, are you warm/neutral/cool? Look on the back of your arms, if your veins appear greenish and your skin tone looks like it has more yellow in it, you're warm-toned and will tend to look good in rich browns, oranges, brick reds, jewel tones. If you're cool-toned, your veins will look more blue, you will tend to be very pale-skinned, with pink coloring, you will usually look good in pale blues, pastels, "cold" colors associated with winter.

Imo nude lips are kind of touch-and-go, on certain people (like me, with pigmented lips) nude lips make them look like a hooker. If you want to dip your feet into the nude lip pool, I would suggest MAC Viva Glam 5 lipstick or gloss. It's nude-ish, but with a nice sheer pink tone to it to not make a person look completely washed-out.
