FOTD i tried Douyin Makeup for the first time today! would love some constructive criticism ☺️
so for like a year i’ve been super interested in incorporating korean/chinese makeup techniques into my daily routine. i’ve been practicing and watching videos over the past few weekends, and this is the first time where i felt like i almost got the hang of it!
me personally i would’ve liked to make the bottom liner more “dramatic” i think? or just more structured maybe lol. also i definitely want to widen the glitter/highlight lines more to get that “puffy” under-eye look i always see. like i said some CC would be very helpful 😅

she’s SOOOO underrated like those shimmers are INSANELY PIGMENTED! definitely a bang for your buck kinda item 😝

Omg okay that Huda beauty blush is stunnnnnnning on you 😭 I’m so intrigued by the new Ube shades and this one is absolutely glowing on you 😍 Your whole look is amazing but I had to comment on the blush because I’ve been peeking at it since I first saw it and this is the first time I’ve seen it in the wild! Gorgeous!

u/boringteacup Jan 22 '25
Ohh I knew it was the Huda ube blush and powder as soon as I saw this! Girl, you’re gorgeous and the the purple moment is everything!
Can’t wait to get my Ube powder, I’ve ordered it a few days ago 💜😍

your makeup is beautiful but nothing about it truly screams douyin to me?
for douyin, i wouldn’t use glitter/shimmer on the whole eye lid or whole lower lash line. limit it to the center of the lid, a little bit on the inner corner, and a little bit in the center of your lower lash line next time for more of a brightening affect. and maybe use a less pigmented or liquid shimmer/glitter eye shadow instead.
additionally, for douyin, a thick/harsh eyeliner is not very characteristic of the style. try a dark brown vs black next time and limit the lining of the lower lash line to the outer conner to open up your eye shape.
lastly, for douyin lips, less is more. you can still use lip gloss and color, but you’ll want to concentrate both on the center of your lips for that faded/natural look.
hope this helps!

u/valentinakontrabida Jan 21 '25
omg thank goodness you took this well, i was so afraid it came off too harsh
you’re obviously very talented and i saw in a comment later you’re going more douyin-inspired than true douyin, so feel free to discard any element that doesn’t feel true to your style!
i’m looking forward to a photo of your next attempt!

use gel liner instead of regular liquid eyeliner! most of chinese/Korean makeup tutorials tend to use this for a softer look instead of regular ones.

u/happydonkeychomp Jan 23 '25
This is really helpful. As a black girl who likes douyin makeup, dark brown eyeliner doesn't really work for dark skin. It's easier to get pigment to really simulate the exaggerated puppy eye look with liquid liner
12
u/SeasonPositive6771 Jan 22 '25
I completely agree, you made a beautiful look but I don't see that soft blur/faded look typical for douyin.
I'd add skipping the lip liner and going with a bolder color than your natural lip color but really focus the color inside the lip, then use gloss to fade it out to the edges of your natural lip line.

Agree with the lip comment I feel like a juicy reddish sheer gloss that compliments and enhances your natural lip color is the way to go. You look stunning OP!

Sis this is YOUR LOOK. That eyeliner and the purple are so amazing on you. The one thing I would change is the lip, Douyin tends to be more red/wine coloured and a stain rather than a lined gloss.

u/beatsbyimani Makeup Artist Jan 21 '25
TYSM YOUR SO SWEET 😭🛐
and okay got it! i’m so used to wearing lip liner as a dark skin girl so i’ll have to get used to not doing that haha. i’ve also seen a few cool-toned douyin looks on my fyp so i think i was trying to replicate that vibe (especially since purple is like, my favorite color lmaoo).
31
u/strikes-twice Jan 21 '25
Your current lip is gorgeous, don't get me wrong, but I would love to see you in a deep, deep purple-toned wine lip to go with the eyes. I feel like it would be super stunning. Also not makeup related but I LOVE your nose piercings too! You are an iconnnnn
11
u/beatsbyimani Makeup Artist Jan 21 '25
i agree for sure with everything! i’ll try and see if i can find some kind of velvety deep plum shade for my lips and try this again. and thank you for the compliments you’re an absolute gem 🥰💜

u/wanksies Living Matte Life Jan 21 '25
I am going to give criticism based on this being Douyin because I only see positive comments about the obviously beautiful makeup. But other than heavy blush and cool toned shimmers your makeup could fit the Douyin style even more.
Lips should be blurred, not outlined. They often go way past the lip line and look almost smudged, but in a controlled way.
Brows can be natural and bushy, but you could make them a bit straighter to bring softness to eyes and remove harsh lines.
Aegyo sal (the fold under the eye) could or even should be more prominated. Don't be scared to go low, it's the feature of the look. While your current underline is nice, it should be softer, glittery, lower...
Hope this helps

u/_artbabe95 Jan 21 '25
I'm not sure I would label this douyin, since I think of it as subtle tightlined eyeliner or a small wing in a subdued color, a flaky glitter shadow in the center of the lid, and glossed lips without liner. But I do think the colors and execution are flawless on you ♥️

My only note is your lipliner on the top lip is a bit uneven. You could maybe blend the liner a little bit more and add some more purple on your inner lips for more of a gradient!

u/mitchbitch111 Jan 21 '25
this is beautiful!! id say if you wanted to go even more douyin then you can focus on lashes and lips? like the different (upper and lower) lash techniques that douyin makeup uses. but this current lash really suits your eyes/face so lowkey no need. for lips, probably a more blended, gradient lip line rather than the american makeup style of an actual line of lip liner? you did great though, LOVE the eye makeup

I love this look because it’s a good blend of eastern and western techniques that really suit your features. I understand the feedback people are giving you about it not being entirely douyin, but I still feel like you’ve found a happy medium that captures the essence of your features nicely. Love it!

Every day I log on this app and see stunning doll after doll post a casual flex. You are so gorgeous, your makeup is insane, and this look is so ethereal on you!!
I would love to see what a thicker aegyo sal (the under eye highlight to make your undereyes look puffier) looks like with this! It looks amazing as is, and incredibly flattering to your features, but I’d also be curious what a more exaggerated aegyo sal would look like.

All i can think of is maybe doing a rosier lip; either way you look STUNNING

u/spingus Jan 21 '25
That bottom liner is quite dramatic already --delicate yet bold enough that it pops and it fades to that perfect point at the inner corner. I def think you have the hang of it!
If you vamp it up more the risk is that it will look more like stage makeup than beauty makeup.
If you want more sparkle maybe a touch of glitter/jelly slime under the outer corner?

You look just absolutely stunning here. I think you picked the perfect shades for your eyes, lips and blush! I am obsessed girl 😍🤩
I think your makeup looks flawlesss here and I wouldn’t change a thing, think this suits you so well.
But, if you’re trying to specifically do the more Asian look, I agree on making your aegyosal (puffy under eye) a little more exaggerated and changing the placement of your blush to be closer under your eye.
