Douyin - the viral makeup trend

[chic]

What do you think of this style of makeup? I'm not asking if you would wear it. Just do you like it or not? I do think it's pretty and looks attractive on the models. If I had a granddaughter, I wouldn't mind if she wore this.

I like the glittery eyes and the type of blush... the lips not so much.

Douyin - I can’t find a definition of what this is.

Is it the shine around the eyes?

Chic.. I have to be honest and say this style of make-up is the style Korean boys.. and young women wear.. to completely alter their appearance.

It looks weird

Here's a very short video.. but there's plenty longer ones out there....you'd be astonished at the change

I think it looks fake. Not keen on slicon b00bs either, for similar reasons, but that would be going off at a tangent

Every aspect of it looks as though it's been overdone with PhotoShop.

Found a definition now.

“
What is the Douyin makeup technique?

Douyin makeup is a popular Chinese makeup style that typically involves shimmery and glittery eyeshadow, a liberal application of blush (typically in more cool-toned shades), and blurred lips. The overall effect is very soft and a more cutesy doll slash fairy-like appearance.”

It’s like any makeup style. If someone is very attractive, they can wear anything, IMO.

There’s a server here who wears the eye makeup. She’s very attractive so it’s striking on her.

Douyin is Chinese, I believe, but based on Korean makeup. The goal is to make girls look elvish and I think the glitter does achieve that effect pretty well. Yes, guys wear this in drag etc. but this is about females wearing this type of makeup. I am trying little bits of glitter liner in the creases of my lids to look less --- OLD! I used to have some great stuff I bought around ten years ago that reflected light really well but they don't make it anymore. I used it for the first signs of aging I didn't like and Douyin reminds me of that.

There's more than makeup going on in that video. You can contour and shade features, but you can't literally shrink a nose with cosmetic tricks.

People have been using all sorts of techniques to disguise their true appearance for centuries. If someone wants to make the effort and take the time to go to great lengths to alter their appearance, that's up to them. I'm sure it gives some people more confidence, but it takes a tremendous amount of upkeep to maintain "the look", and for all the work it entails, it's temporary. At the stroke of midnight, just like Cinderella, it all reverts to its original form.

As far as Douyin makeup, why not? Glittery eyelids, feathery eyelashes, pink blush, and shiny blurred lips are trends just like any other style of makeup that was and is "fashionable". Do I like it? Yes, it's soft and pretty. I think it's more suited to the young, but there's nothing to stop older women from wearing it if they want to.

I like it well enough. For me, I'd prefer the lips not to be so blurred out.

I agree. The "white dot on tip of nose illusion". Many use that to make the nose appear smaller. And it is more suited to the young, of course. There are a couple of elements I may try though. Makeup washes off!

It makes them look almost child-like.
I'm not sure if that's a bad thing or good thing....

 

[Ruthanne]

Pretty.

Douyin typically uses shimmery eyeshadow, pigmented pink blush, and blurred lips…sort of a skin-first, minimalistic style. It’s very soft and almost translucent.

I certainly prefer it to the trend before it…sharp brows, overdone stark eyes, lip liner that draws a razor sharp line around the mouth.

Douyin makeup is a popular East Asian makeup look that originated in China
and has nothing to do with Korean makeup which is called Ulzzang.

Korean boys use a make up style called “chok chok.”

I like the Douyin makeup and if I were young, I would try it. It's very sweet!
