BoA "Game" Inspired Makeup Tutorial
12:41 PMHi everyone! Today I have another "inspired" look to share with you. I have pretty much been obsessed with BoA's new music video "Game" ever since it came out, and it's been a pretty big deal since it's her first Korean debut for the last 5 years. I've actually been a fan of BoA from the beginning when my cousin shared the "ID: Peace B" video with me. What can I say, she was everything I wanted to be: choreographed, cute, with a bomb voice, and no awkward stage!
I still can't dance or sing quite like she can but what I CAN do is pretend like I'm as cool as her makeup artist and copy the look. ;]
Here's BoA's music video "Game" from her just-released album Hurricane Venus.
And here is my version of the look:
Sorry about the bad lighting. It was actually daytime when I started recording but I ran into a few roadblocks along the way during recording and by the time I finished the cicadas were roaring outside and it was pretty much time for bed. ;3
If you noticed the change in editing style, it's because I completed this on my new Macbook Pro using iMovie! I know you probably don't care but I didn't type out all the products during the video since it was a lot of extra editing steps and I don't know if people actually read them. I also talked through the video which I still kind of suck at! Haha. I just want to test a few different ways of recording and editing so if you have any feedback, please do let me know what you prefer to see. ^.^
Her and me. Me and she.
Here are some screencaps I took of BoA's video:
Products used in this look:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
L'Oreal HIP Crayon in Black
MAC Carbon Eyeshadow
NYX Jumbo Shadow Pencil in Cottage Cheese
NYX Ultra Pearl Eyeshadow in White Pearl
MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack
Coastal Scents Cosmetic Glitter Powder in Crystal Teal
Pretty and Cute Glamour Lash in #048
Pretty and Cute Glamour Lash in #077
Covergirl Lash Exact Mascara
Rock & Republic Contrived Pressed Blush in Tease
Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in 070 Soft Nude
Lioele Blooming Gloss in Vanilla Pink
Maybe some of you caught on that I took the makeup look from one section and the hairstyle/outfit from another. ^.^ It's because I loved her 80's style outfit from the "street" look and thought it would be more fun to recreate. Here's more picspamming because you can't do a look this crazy and not take tons of pics to remember it by, M I RITE?
And just because I can, here is an overdose of inspired silliness.
My hand and I have great conversations.
Those with keen eyes may notice that I popped in my black Geo ck-109 lenses to try to get BoA's super black eyes. This was a fail, but an interesting effect nonetheless. I think the lenses actually balance the cray cray of the look in general.
I do also want to update you guys on my Pretty and Cute coupon code. Previously you could get a free Lioele mirror but I was concerned that a lot of you already have the mirror now, so I wanted to update my code so you could get something else fresh with your orders. I talked with Janie and we decided on a free Pretty & Cute foundation brush with a P&C order of $35! I do have one myself and it's very nice quality (much softer and higher quality in my opinion than the Sigma one that I tried and hated).
OK, I think that's everything. I hope you have a good weekend! As for me, I have a Hanson concert to see. I will not be wearing this look to it lest I scare the long, blonde hair off their heads. It could happen.
XOXO

You are so pretty! I love all your of pictures esp the funny ones like talking to you hand :) Gorgeous!
ReplyDeletei thought that you maybe chose your outfit from boa's mv, but i doubted myself lol
ReplyDeletei love your funny pictures!
Another K-Pop fan! I like BoA too, I enjoyed the Game video but not the song too much...Hurricane Venus is better, imo. But great look!
ReplyDeleteOmg awesome tutorial once again! u r so pretty~
ReplyDeleteYou're so pretty. Amazing look. Cute poses too XD
ReplyDeleteYou look great! It looks really good, you copied it really well!
ReplyDeleteThis looks exactly like BoA's makeup!
ReplyDeleteOMG Jen this is AMAZING!!! I really love the look - so freaking awesome. If I go clubbing anytime soon (which unfortunately is quite unlikely) I am totally gonna try this look lol. :D
ReplyDeletesadly i cant watch the video in my country, but the result looks amazing . love it.
ReplyDeleteTotally love it...you are so awesome at recreating looks..and they always suit you so well :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHoly crap I love your rendition of this look. Your eyes look stunning here. Can't watch the vid yet on my phone but the results photos are gorgeous.
ReplyDeletelove the look!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, this post/video was so fun and unique! I loved how you mimicked her style with the jean jacket and white hairband. Good job!
ReplyDeletewaahh so good~~ so perfect!! love the look.i so couldnt pull this off but it looks cool on you~~ love the lippie colour^^xx
ReplyDeleteBoA's earrings look HEAVY! haha it's weird how she has double..lids? but it looks the same on you ^^
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! It actually doesn't look too outlandish on you LOL, if you were walking by on the street I'd be like "whoa, cool!" I'm also an original BoA fan and I love all the looks from the Game MV and the song itself. Can't wait to see her Hurricane Venus MV!
ReplyDeleteOmg you loook sooo soooo gorgeous! I love the eye make up :)
ReplyDeletewow you're really good at creating inspired looks. i think this is the most dramatic one i've seen and you completely nailed it :) the outfit and hair looks great on you too!
ReplyDeletei do think having the names of the products you use typed into the video helps a lot more. i know you write down what you wrote after the video, but actually having a visual of what product you're using and the name sticks to my head more and i get more interested in the product.
great video :)
So perfect! *_*
ReplyDeletegreat tutorial, look exactly the same love this one
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute look! Love how you can pull off anything :)
ReplyDeleteYou look a lot like BoA :) gorgeous tutorial!

ReplyDeleteyou're prettier than BOA!
ReplyDeleteThis tutorial is awesome! I really want to try this look out sometime. You make it look so easy! ^^
ReplyDeleteAlso, how did you do your nails? I've been looking for a good way to do a gradient effect.

ReplyDeleteI think this make up is wonderful for photoshoots :)
you look so pretty! do you take pictures with your pink cybershot?
ReplyDeleteI love BoA and love your tutorial! Oh and I realise you look like Ayumi Hamasaki in some of the pictures :)

already commented on your youtube but i love your pictures too! camwhore all u want girl.
ReplyDelete*____* I love all your tutorials. I love BoA too XD. I have just your tutorial on my blog, but I made a free translation to portuguese. :) I will link you at the end of post
ReplyDeleteYou are MUCH prettier than Boa! She should copy YOUR looks ;)
ReplyDeletewow i love this newest video of yours!^_^ so cool!!! and super cute!:)
ReplyDeleteWhoa, really amazing look! You look gorgeous =)
ReplyDeleteI'm an on and off fan of BoA's, but regardless I'm also excited about her comeback to Kpop. Can't wait to see what else she does. You totally nailed her look! I think you rock it better than she does actually. :) Great job! Love your Kpop inspired look tutorials!
ReplyDeleteI am not familiar with BoA, being that I am from the US..but I like the song 'Game'...who would you compare her to in the US? Madonna, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Janet Jackson?? I'm just trying to get a feel of how popular she is..but she is super cute and her video is so much fun. But you are gorgeous..I actually like the make-up better on you than her! hahaha
ReplyDeleteI love this look, Jen!
ReplyDeleteWill definitely try it out when I go clubbing next! :D
And...I've always thought you look like BoA too! XDXD
Nice look~ I would love to try this out! I'm so amazed how BOA looks different every year.. In the photos you posted she looks more like a well known Japanese popstar!
ReplyDeleteWow it's like I'm seeing double!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous, and you've done a wonderful job :)
I just wanna steal you because you're so cute XD
amazing tutorial! thanks so much for sharing :):) just wondering, did you use eyelid tape before recreating the look? don't know if i should use the tape or not if i'm gonna try and put on this much eye makeup. thanks for the tips!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your recreation is pretty spot on!
ReplyDeleteYou look so gorgeous as always! It's funny, my hubby used to be a BoA fan way back when (I have a few of her Japanese songs)... she looks so different now than from what I remember.
ReplyDeleteI like it when you talk during the tutorials rather than little popups. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteaww.. this is such a cute tutorial and looks pretty on you!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get your red stud earrings? I love them!
ReplyDeleteyou have the prettiest nose! I'm jealous ><
ReplyDeletegorgeous!!
xox
You're adorable and your eyes look huge! Great job replicating the look!
ReplyDeleteI love your look. Make up really made one look so much different. It's a little too dramatic for everyday wear but it's good! Keep up the good work, gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing look!! I love it with the contacts, it does seem to balance it out a bit! So cute =)
ReplyDeleteOh wow...you look so different. Gorgeous as always ;)
ReplyDeleteOH EM GEEEEEE GORGEOUS!! I am love love loving you in that denim jacket. It gives Madonna circa the 80's a run for her money + so much glamour with that eye makeup. GOOD JOB!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your looks. You rock everything that to turn your hand to.
ReplyDeletebravo!!
How I WISH I could do my makeup like that.

I love the make-up but I couldn't tell much from my phone and it looked great on that tiny screen but on my larger computer screen it looks flippin' awesome.
You just did a tutorial equivalent to a double rainbow moment. Nice!

ReplyDeleteAnonymous: The gradient nail art tutorial is coming very soon!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: My lace headband is actually just a piece of actual lace that I tied into a bow on my head. ^.~
You look a lot like Narsha with this make-up actually! (Just in case you needed an idea for another inspired look, keke)
ReplyDeletewow the final look is fabulous and you look cute rather than sexy i must say :)
