two weeks ago i realized i've been using like essence ampules
11
like before putting on cream and i never knew what goes first
12

13
cream first i got this from my trainer thank you that's some kind of repair oil it smells good
14
With my trainer besides working out she's like my therapist as well we talk a lot about life
15
and all that and I think like mental health is like very important
16
but I think kind of just being in touch with yourself
17
and taking time you know before going to sleep like actually thinking
18
and reflecting you kind of forget about it like you're just tired so you just go to sleep
19
really i guess you can say meditate
20
that helps a lot i got this in la they had like a collab with baskin robbins
21
and it's cool
22
because three colors before i go to bed where it's like
23
i don't really care then i use like the white part
24
if i want a little pink then i use the pink part
25
i never grew up like wearing sunscreen i regret that a lot
26
if i were to give anyone advice i would say wear sunscreen i try to use whatever base i have
27
that has like sbf in it so this is what i use the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer.
28
This routine is pretty much the same since like 2016.
29
I still remember all the trendy products back then.
30
So what I'm going to show you today is kind of just more of a no makeup makeup look.
31
When we do makeup, there's definitely a lot of different styles
32
that we try but i think for myself i try to match with the group
33
because what makeup fits me is actually like a lot less
34
makeup i feel like with too much makeup i kind of
35
look kind of cakey that's the word i don't want to
36
be like the only one that's like has like no makeup
37
on next to everyone who has a lot of makeup on
38
we all have like a signature thing karina she does eyeliner a lot thicker on the inner corners.
39
Winter is also the same with the eyeliner on the inner corners.
40
And she puts a lot of blush.
41
I think she puts like most blush out of all of us.
42
Ningning always looks good when she has kind of like smoky and like bronzer and highlighter,
43
like that kind of Betty look.
44
Yeah, she looks good with that.
45
I have a long face.
46
I need to like kind of give some impact here,
47
kind of even it out.
48
So right now I'm filling my eyebrows in with Kosas.
49
In high school, those are the days where,
50
that was like the 2016 makeup,
51
where it was like hard brows.
52
Like I would use the Anastasia like pot.
53
I used to do those like really thick, thick brows.
54
I wanted to pull up to school,
55
like looking kind of cute.
56
So I watched like a lot of YouTube videos,
57
just like normal teenager stuff.
58
And Sephora was like, oh my God,
59
there's a Sephora here type of thing.
60
So I would go there and just like try to get whatever and copy the makeup looks.
61
And that's kind of where like the interest started.
62
I was born in Korea and then I moved straight to Japan.
63
And I've been living in Tokyo for like my whole life until 2019.
64
And then I think I was like middle school.
65
That was like when I started to want to wear makeup and do my hair and all that.
66
I feel like Japanese and Korean makeup is kind of similar and like the trends,
67
they kind of go hand in hand.
68
Japanese people go for a little bit more of like a cutesy look or it's like a completely like strong heavy makeup,
69
like long nails, big eyelashes,
70
you know, a little bit of smoky stuff going on or in Korea,
71
it's either the same like trend or less cute and just a little more like beauty Before I get into eye makeup,
72
I'm gonna choose my lens We wear contact lenses I really
73
really really like the way I look changes a lot with like
74
which lens I wear The ones
75
that I usually wear are just like black I'll just try something
76
that I haven't tried before This one's kind of bright This is brown but it's bright.
77
I look scary.
78
There's that for you.
79
I didn't need to show you that but just to let you know how much contact can change the way you look.
80

The most important thing for me with makeup is no matter what look you do,
102
what color, whatever, it has to be symmetrical.
103
If the brows ones like an eyeliner that's like this, I can't.

I just do eyebrows and lip gloss, I curl my lashes.
107
I used to buy all the mascaras that was in during the time,

116
First of all, I had no experience in dance.
117
And I do love singing,
118
but I just was more resonating towards rap.
119
When I got into SM,
120

127
I guess, in my trainee days.
128
This blush, either end.
129
This one is good because it's cream.
130
I use this for concealing scars
131

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
