Confession: I didn’t know how to do my makeup well (I mean, relatively well–I still have lots of learning to do before my face starts sagging to the floor and creates entirely new makeup challenges) until earlier this year. The problem was that almost all of the makeup resources I’d seen were geared towards Western features, which I, you know, don’t have.

What really helped me were YouTube tutorials. It’s one thing to read someone’s instructions and another to see someone actually putting things on her face in real life and real time.

So I was happy to get to write a piece on YouTube tutorials for Fashionista. Here’s my third Fashionista piece, “9 YouTube Tutorials to Help You Achieve a Flawless Korean Makeup Look.” I use all the tricks and all the products I reference in the article. I hope you’ll find something useful there for you!

What are your favorite makeup tricks?
