Wondering About Female Celebrities Make-up Recipes? I’ll Tell You.

Once the rainy season has passed, the summer break would begin, and you would want to enjoy a cool and refreshing dip in the ocean or a large pool to cool off. Of course, you’d be wondering what to wear, where to go, what kind of bathing suits are the trend, etc. All of these things are necessary information if you want to look your best in front of other people, so of course, you’d also be wondering what the best make-up look would be this season.

Through television, pictorials, and other forms of advertisement, beautiful celebrities present the very latest summer make-up trends. You might think that it would be easy, just breezing into a store, and then ask what kind of make-up a certain celebrity uses. But it’s not as easy as you think. It would be best if you go and look up for the best and “cool” make up brand recipe that would best suit you.

[T/N: FIRST, I can’t believe I’m translating a beauty article. Fish out of water. OTL. The article mentions 4 celebrities. First is Han YeSeul’s Urban Mermaid Look, Eugene’s Real Deal Look, Dara’s Aloha Girl Bronze Look, and Park Min Young’s Skinny Fit Gloss Look. I bet you know the drill right now, I’ll only translate the intro and Dara’s parts. ^_^]

★ Sandara Park, The Hawaii Sun Reflects On My Face “Aloha Girl Bronze Look”

Etude House’s “Aloha Girl Bronze Look” can be called natural make-up because of its topical natural bronze look. This concept makes use of the fact that broze looks beautiful and fitting during summer time, and because they anticipated that pools and the ocean would be popular this season, they also made sure that it’ll have waterproof make up.

[T/N: Er, it talked about proportions of make up and what make up to use etc. It also talked about if you want to look like Sandara Park, to follow their instructions. There’s a YT vid somewhere, you can try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azSsIEgjwfA&feature=channel_video_title It’s like, they just put into words what’s been said in the vid. ^_^]

2NE1 reveals detailed info about their second mini-album

YG Entertainment updated their ‘YG-life‘ blog today with some exciting details about 2NE1’s new mini-album!

According to the update, the girls will drop their second mini-album on July 28th. Check out the translation below for more:

==

We will officially be releasing 2NE1’s second mini-album on July 28th.

The album will include six songs in total: four previously-released singles and two brand new songs.
Of the two new tracks, “Hate You” will be released a week earlier, on July 21st.

– Track List –
1. I Am The Best (Lyrics, Arrangement & Composition: Teddy)
2. Ugly (Lyrics, Arrangement & Composition: Teddy) **TITLE TRACK**
3. Lonely (Lyrics: Teddy / Composition: Teddy, e. knock / Arrangement: Teddy)
4. Hate You (Lyrics, Arrangement & Composition: Teddy) **SUB TRACK**
5. Don’t Cry (Lyrics & Composition : Teddy, Lydia Paek / Arrangement : Teddy)
-Bonus Track-
6. Don’t Stop The Music (Lyrics & Composition : e. knock / Arrangement : Choi Pil Gang)

> About the new track, “Hate You”…

“Hate You”, the new single that will be released on July 21st, actually has an interesting story behind it.

This song was originally scheduled to be released last September with 2NE1’s first full album, but due to the song’s inappropriate title/lyrics, we decided that it would be best to hold off for the time being.

The original title for “Hate You” was actually “Fu** You”, and we were being cautious because Minzywas still a minor at the time of the song’s inital pending release; also, we did not want to negatively influence in any way the teenage fans who listen to 2NE1. We worked to try and change the song’s title and lyrics, however, there were no substitute words that carried the same emotions as the original, and therefore we decided to postpone the release of the track for an undetermined amount of time.

These situations rise from time to time when working in this field, but in this particular case, this was a song the entire group was really excited about, and so due to their never-ending requests to release the track, we have modified the song’s title to “Hate You” and have added it to their new mini-album.

The MV for “Hate You” was produced by pop graphic artist, Mari Kim, who transformed the 2NE1 girls into hip animation characters. The teaser for the MV is scheduled to be released on Monday July 18th at 12AM (KST), and the full MV will be released with the track itself on the 21st.

> “Ugly”, the mini-album’s title song…

The strong guitar riff in this piece sets the mood and pretty much carries throughout the entire song.
This is an upbeat, fast track with a mix of Rock & Elec, and is about being openly honest with our outward appearances, no matter how “Ugly” we may seem.

The track is the perfect addictive summer song; it’s got a refreshing chorus melody that’s by the talented CL. Taking into consideration that K-Pop is gaining international fans all over the world, we’ve decided to sing the chorus in English.

Financially speaking, we have invested more on this MV than any other 2NE1 MV thus far.

The MV for “Ugly” was directed by Director Han Sa Min, and it is scheduled to be released on the 28th along with the album.

> 2NE1 & Mari Kim

We wanted to do something unique with the new mini-album jacket, and so we called in Mari Kim,whose work we’ve always admired. After frequently meeting with her and discussing our ideas, Mari Kim offered to not only take on the mini-album jacket project, but also directed the MV for “Hate You”.

Although she may be a new face in Korea, she is no stranger to famous pop-artists overseas. To name just a few projects, Mari Kim has taken part in designing Andrew Warhola’s ‘Velvet Underground‘  album, as well as Julian Opie’s 10-year anniversary album, ‘Blur‘.

Not to mention that she’s collaborated with Louis Vuitton to create their ‘Murakami’ line of accessories, and also worked with Kanye West on his ‘Graduation‘ album.

The release of Park Bom’s “Don’t Cry” in April began our introduction to 2NE1’s new material for this year, and we would like to end by letting you know this mini-album will not be the last of it. We ask you to continue your loyal support for their new mini-album and upcoming promotions. Thank you.

News: MBLAQ’s Thunder Talks About Sandara’s Radical Hairstyles

MBLAQ’s Thunder expressed his opinion regarding his sister 2NE1’s Sandara Park’s radical hairstyles.

On an interview with TV Report, he said,

I’ve got a shocking personality too. I’m jealous that my sister has songs that fit that kind of hairstyle.

The truth is that I don’t see my sister’s hairstyle changes in person, but rather, I see then through music videos and broadcasts. After seeing them I think, ‘That’s my sister, as usual’.

Some people wonder why she does those kinds of hairstyles when there are other pretty hairstyles that she can do, but the truth is, that’s 2NE1. Though my sister can be pretty when she is alone, since it’s 2NE1, she can pull off those looks. And just cause she does those hairstyles, doesn’t make her less pretty.

On June 27th, when Sandara’s Vegeta hairstyle was a hot topic, she posted on her me2day saying, “I asked Thunder if he was embarrassed by me. He laughed and said, ‘No’

Meanwhile, MBLAQ released their 3rd mini album ‘Mona Lisa‘ on July 12th.

Awww! They are so adorable! Like really! I love how much Thunder dotes on his Noona! Even though the interview is short, you can truly see and feel how much he respects and loves her. He is really proud of Dara and I am sure that the feeling is mutual! ^_^ Don’t you just love the Park Siblings? 

 

 

Official: Dara’s Profile and Message on 2NE1’s Japanese Website!

2NE1’s Japanese website is up and running, and we know all about it, thanks to Dara’s mitu! http://2ne10921.com/

They recently posted up Dara’s profile and message, check it out!

DARA PROFILE:

In charge of the fresh rap and vocal, 2NE1 PR department head Sandara Park’s profile is as fresh as she is. She voluntarily participates in 2NE1 promotions ever since their debut, and the public grab and love it positively. This Japanese countdown site is due to the proposal of Dara. The results gained positive views from the public, and she recently conducted a lecture in a University too. She was working as an actress in the Philippines before, and is skilled in speaking Filipino and English languages. She has a younger brother named Cheondoong, a member of a boygroup named MBLAQ.

MESSAGE:

When I think of the recent Earthquake, my chest throbs and I feel nervous again, to think that after that there are still aftershocks. It is painful whenever I think about it. And going to Japan, it gives us courage by just thinking that you waited for 2NE1 and cannot forget us. The fans in Japan are worried and always asks, “Is Dara-chan okay and safe?” To think that the same scary experiences is done to you also. But then, just like everyone, I will go to Japan and let’s perform together on stage and work hard together.

Translated by SIVVIE! Thanks so much Siv dear! ^_^

Wow! Dara is just amazing! She thought of the countdown on 2NE1’s Japanese website! She sure does know how to whet everyone’s appetite, doesn’t she? What I love about her ideas is that they’re creative and bold! From this website countdown (where everyday, something is revealed), to the I AM THE BEST MP3 event, to Bom’s Don’t Cry mitu vid teasers, to Lonely’s calling card event! She’s really amazing, and that’s not even an exaggeration. She doesn’t go by the book when it comes to marketing, and I think anyone could see how efficient she is. Really, she should seriously consider going into the PR business later on in her life! Dara jjang!

What do you guys think? What’s her most creative PR idea for you? ^^

I also don’t like putting in my thoughts into the article itself, so I have my T/Ns like this (T/N: Dara fans are jjang!).

Enjoy reading! And as always, comments are appreciated!

2NE1 “I Am The Best,” Sandara Park’s Pigtails – Gong Minji’s Floor Performance

T/N: They used the term “yanggalrae” and when I searched for pics, it came out as pigtails (pigtails that are like two ponytails on either side of the head, not the tight braid ones). I think this is like the “byeomeori” (braid at the front, with hair swept to one side) where they gave specific names to specific hairstyles. Nice thinking. Now if only English have them too. OTL.

2NE1’s Sandara Park gained attention last week during their comeback with her Vegeta hairstyle, and now she’s back to attracting people with her new hairstyle, pigtails (T/N: I.E. the yanggalrae).

On the July 3 broadcast of SBS “Inkigayo” 2NE1 followed up their brilliant comeback and debut of their new song “I Am The Best.”

Their powerful performance and colorful costumes were a stand out. In last week’s comeback, Sandara Park’s hair, which was reaching up the sky, became hot topic when it was dubbed as the “Vegerta hairstyle.” On this performance stage, she had two pigtails on both sides of her head, with hot pink stripes braided into one side, giving her a youthful charisma.

In addition, Gong Minji’s powerful performance as she danced on the floor while singing, captured attention as well.

During the Inkigayo broadcast, performers like Rania, B1A4, Navi, Boyfriend, Min Kyeong Hyun, Mighty Mouse and Soya, f(x), 8Eight, Sunny Hill, Rainbow, A-Pink, Kim Hyun Joong, Secret, T-Ara, 2NE1, and 2PM appeared for the show’s “Summer Special, Episode 2.”
