Bangs

Having bangs will draw attention to your eyes because your hair is usually right at or below the brow. It is essential to make your eyes stand out just like Kpop idol Hyuna, which generally use metallic shades, to look sexy, without being too dramatic.

  1. Apply a foundation to even your skin tone
  2. Use ETUDE HOUSE Bling Bling Eye Stick across your lids, then apply it into the folding.
  3. Apply an eyeliner such as MACQUEEN Waterproof Pen Eyeliner on your top and bottom lashes. Then add two coats of black thickening mascara to your top lashes. Try ETUDE HOUSE Lash Perm Curl Fix Mascara.
  4. Keep your lips smooth by using a nude lip balm such as Melting from ROMAND Zero Velvet Tint. Avoid using blush as it will distract from your amazing eyes.

Pixie

The pixie is a classic cut that emphasizes the top zone of the face. If you have a pixie cut, you need to have your brows looking flawless, as they will be the focal point of your face.

  1. Begin by giving shape to your brows with tweezers. Make sure to tweeze hairs in the direction of hair growth, use natural daylight, and never use a magnifying mirror. Shape your eyebrows every six weeks. For more convenience in your eyebrow grove, don’t forget to use ETUDE HOUSE My Beauty Tool Lovely Etti Hair Band, which you can use when you wash your face, apply a mask, do your makeup, apply creams, and more.
