Beauty is a pain, darlings. Imagine how you can strain your eyes if you have to open them so wide all day. But we don’t care, do we? as long as we can have the round and big and whatever-as-long-as-not-slanted-like-originally-we-have. We don’t even care if they don’t look like human’s eyes at all. Because one of the key words of being an Ulzzang is “BIG AND ROUND EYES”.
You got the eyes, then you better get the lips. and the pose. As reference, you can check Japanese mangas from the era of 80′s or 70′s (you know those manga characters with big-flickering eyes, waving hair, and melodramatic gestures?). now let’s practice.
1. Put your pinky finger on the corner of your lips. (you, of course, you may try other fingers, but thumbs don’t usually look cute on your face..not to mention middle fingers…)
2. Make your lips as small as it can be, like by saying “CHUUUUU” (these Ulzzhang pioneers hated Julia Roberts.)
3. Now take a close up picture, side angle. Better not to take it directly from the front, or people will see your wide nose. And just use your VGA phone camera, the blurrer the better. And give your face over-lighting.
4. Don’t forget to open your eyes super wide.
5. Just in case, if the heavy make-up blocks the oxygen to your brain, and you get a temporary brain disfunction hence not being able to understand these steps, just google for Ulzzang picture and imitate those pictures. They all look the same, so don’t worry, don’t waste your time, just pick any picture.
done?save it on your computer, and do the holy magic of photoshop. Make your skin fairer, add shades here and there, make the most use of “heal” button to heal your pimples and dark spots. and check if you have the super-latest photoshop edition with “Pray-To-God-Please-Make-It-Real” button. If your computer miraculously has it, click it, with all of your heart.
Now you’re ready to be a net-Ulzzang. and Ulzzang is no longer a term for Korean girls only. if you picture-google “Ulzzang” you’ll find rows of Thai Ulzzang pictures, so why can’t you be American Ulzzang, British Ulzzang, Canadian Ulzzang, Malay Ulzzang, or African Ulzzang?
Just don’t blame us for giving this short course, if eventually some people might look at you like you’re a pathetic girl who does anything trying to be someone else you’re not, obsessed with something you don’t have in the first place, chasing for something not really worth to be chased, and proud of being a hoax.
But chill, you’re welcomed to the Ulzzang Society. That’s all that matters. Isn’t it?
*Chuuuuuu*
lots Of luv BIEY MYMY
