The morning after a crazy night out with your girlfriends and some campus cuties, the last thing on your mind is primping and moisturizing. Instead, you’d rather sit on your sofa and watch Friends with a bottle of Gatorade and a few ibuprofen.
Interestingly enough, the latest beauty trend—doing your makeup in a way that makes you look hungover—works well alongside the collegiette lifestyle. While it’s currently trending in Korea and Japan, we have a feeling it might become popular in the United States soon enough.
Women in Korea believe that the little bags under your eyes that pop up when you smile, known as aegyo sal, make you look younger and more playful. In order to recreate this look, you can use two-toned eyeliner pens to create shadows and highlights underneath your eyes. Michelle Phan effortlessly shows her subscribers how it’s done in a recent tutorial.
In Japan, women are striving to achieve byojaku face, which praises pale skin that looks sickly and in need of moisture. To accentuate the vibe, they use bright pink or red blush on the apples of their cheeks, which gives off the natural flush you might experience when you’re feeling under the weather. Combined with the puffy eyes, the look will definitely have your friends thinking that you need a little extra TLC or some orange juice.
In our opinion, this is one of the easiest trends we’ve ever heard about, coming in second to the no-makeup-makeup look. So the next time you think you look awful after a night of getting turnt, you might actually be rocking an up-and-coming trend. Pretty simple, huh?
What do you think of this trend, collegiettes? Do you think it will make its way to the States this fall?
