ugly girl make up

Tuesday, December 30, 2008 { 2:49 PM }




Phil the moderator from Asian Beauty Blog has created a make-up challenge that has lit up the forums, drawing in dozens of girls to try out the "Ulzzang" craze that has been extremely popular topic among beauty bloggers. The direct translation of Ulzzang translates to Best Face, and is characterized by a cutesy and sweet demeanor. Some love it, some hate it. For further clarification, I found this rather cynical version of the Ulzzang definition on Urban Dictionary:

"Ulzzang
Ugly asian girls slapping a ton of makeup on their faces taking pictures of themselfs with their eyes open widely making hideous pouty faces. They're myspace whores who do s4s, enter myspace picture "contests", dye their hair to a hazel brown color, and wear fake eyelashes. They all like strawberries, throwing up peace signs, weird smiley expressions such as "^-^" or "T~T", ect. One is just the same as the other."

Despite the criticism that it often receives, one can't deny its growing popularity among young girls today. ABB user incandescent's entry on How to be an Ulzzang, a tutorial on how to achieve the look with makeup, remains as the most popular entry ever on ABB's member entry forums.  This partly gives reason to why Phil's Ulzzang contest on ABB has drawn in a lot of attention from members. There's also a pretty good prize at stake as well. The winner will receive a free Coastal Scents 88 Eyeshadow Shimmer Palette!


So if you're a fan of the Ulzzang look and want to try it out for the chance of a cool gift in return, there's still time left for you to post your own entry. Winners will be decided by how many post rep's each entry receives, and the winner will be decided on January 7th! So get crackin'!
