Magazine/Translations: Dara’s Feature In Japan’s JJ Magazine

YAY! Here you go guys, the complete feature on Dara in JJ Magazine! I hope that you enjoy reading, and please leave comments. ^_^Thank you! ❤

Dara’s Highest Make Up Point: Eye Line

2NE1 is a girl group, but we have a strong and cool image. Rather than cute costumes, we try out a lot of other different, great things too; of the members, I’m the one in charge of looking the best in boys clothing. But I’m a woman too Ha ha So sexy, feminine make-up is a plus.

Make a line at the upper eye lid, and extend it outside your eye line, like cat eyes. Because of the eye line, the impression of my face greatly changes, and thus I become 2NE1’s DARA, showing an intense and sexy look.

Aside from make-up, skin care is also very important. I am especially careful with moisturizing. I choose products that have collagen ingredients, and I put on moisturizing cream everyday. Of course, cleansing is also very important, especially if you leave make up on for a long time, it’s important to wash it off well.

Because of this, there are people who comment positively about me having pretty skin. So I don’t put much foundation, and put on make-up lightly. Because 2NE1’s eye line and eye make-up is strong, the lips should have a more natural color.

The cosmetic products that I regularly use are from ETUDE HOUSE. Ever since our debut, it’s been my favorite brand, and I specially like their BB Cream and cheek make-up products. I use these products even in everyday life.

I learned that recently, women in Japan are interested in our recommendations for make-up as well. It would be good to show it, but it’s going to be better if you try it out for yourselves.

Photos/Info: 2NE1 Visits Hyungboo Korean Restaurant

Hyungboo is a very popular Korean restaurant located in Akasaka, Japan. A lot of Korean celebrities frequent that place when they are in Japan, and it seems 2NE1 also went to try out the famous restaurant!

Dara and Minzy went to the restaurant first, on October 19, 2011. It’s cute knowing that the fake and real maknaes went out on a date in Japan together! ^^

According to the website (where you can see what the celebrities ordered from the menu, a bit creepy but yes) Dara and Minzy ordered Korean beef ribs, geotjoli (a kind of kimchi), and japchae (vermicelli noodles with veggies and beef). Aside from that, Dara made an extra order (I’m assuming it was only Dara who ordered it, since it’s not on Minzy’s list) of uijeongbu budaejjigae or army base soup (ramen with kimchi, pork sausages, tofu, and veggies.. the works!)…

Dara’s profile on the site and her siggie:

Minzy’s profile on the site and her siggie:

On November 9th, all of the 2NE1 girls plus Big Bang’s maknae Seungri, went to the restaurant and ordered a hefty meal! They ordered the Korean Bulgogi set, salted squid, and a toppokki (rice cakes) meal!

2NE1’s siggies!

Links are embedded in the posts, if you want to check out the original features on their website. ^^
