Hi, this is Izzy, who from now on will give you sweet pieces of information about K-beauty and fashion. Since I’m a college girl and thank god it’s FINALLY Friday, for this week, I decided to post about typical Fridays of Korean college girls. So! If you want some useful tips to become a K-culture insider, you’d better listen up. The greatest teacher’s lecture is waiting for you below. (Yes, that greatest is me)
9:00 A.M. “HFM!”
Happy Friday Morning! Definitely the happiest morning among the weekdays. Even it’s still a weekday, it’s just one day before weekEND and twelve hours before NIGHT OUT. Bounce up from bed, go straight to the bathroom, and take a shower playing some K-pop dance music like ‘Boy With Luv’ (BTS), ‘Dance The Night Away’ (TWICE), ‘ICY’ (ITZY). I could say it’s a tiny little ceremony to Gear up for the party night. After done taking a shower, I let the music go on and sit in front of my mirror, do some basic daily care routine. Softly smudge the toner liquid into my skin, and apply a moisturizing cream.
Since Korean skincare routine is popular worldwide, you guys would be curious about what product I use. So here are the answers. I use ‘Derma Water Ceramide Toner’ and ‘Derma Water Ceramide Gel Cream’, which is both from Botanic Heal. (shortly called ‘BoH’) It is a typical Korean facial care product that has a soft and smooth texture. These are my current favorites. Of course, these are not it, but since today’s post is for Friday routine, let’s move on. (If you want K-beauty information, please subscribe to our channel. There are tons of upcoming K-beauty postings.) After skincare, quickly apply a lip balm and pack the essential for my one and only Friday. For instance, a short skirt, a bunch of makeup tools, jewelry, an eyedrop, and definitely a COLOR CONTACT LENS. The color lens is a common item among Korean girls, and I personally like it because it gives a special vibe and let my eye look much shinier. Considering these reasons, it’s natural to wear coolor contact lenses for Friday night. Finally, if I’m done packing, I grab my glasses and rush to the bus station.
4:00 P.M. “READY FOR THE NIGHT?”
Until 4, there are some classes to attend and between those, there is lunchtime, but nothing special happens. Then why not skip to the fun part? The fun starts at 4. Every class is over, so basically the week is over. I grab my bag and go to the bathroom and take a seat in front of a wide mirror. First of all, I change my outfit from a comfortable student outfit to a date night outfit. Since it’s September, a cropped long sleeve top with short jeans or skirts are the most liked go-to outfit for Korean college girls. Next, I take out my makeup tools and start my work. Apply some glittery shadows which will shine below the club lighting and pick a shiny red lipstick for a fancy look. (*K-beauty hint: Koreans generally love light shades for shadow and bright shades for lipsticks. Of course, it depends on the person but the majority does their makeup this way) Then after some more general steps such as shading and highlighting, I wash my hands and finally do my last step: COLOR CONTACT LENS. I put some eye drops in my eyes and carefully wear them. Since it is Friday, and I want showy colors on my eye, I’ll choose a grey lens. The grey color makes the look more sexy and polished. When I’m done wearing the lens, I put unnecessary stuff that’ll bother my look in my locker and FINALLY call my friend.
7:00 P.M. “MEET THE NIGHT!”
7:00 P.M. Now it is officially Friday night. Korean college girls meet their friends or their hot date at the most popular night out places in Seoul. (*K-culture hint: For a night out lovers, I would recommend clubs and bars around ‘Hong-Ik University station’ or ‘Gangnam Station’) And FINALLY! The party night starts with a happy chat in front of a delicious dinner. And after that? There is nothing that is fixed. We just have fun until the sun for the next day rises because every bar and every club is opened until morning.
So now, are you more interested in Korea? Please leave a comment if you have any other curiosity about K-beauty/fashion and culture. Then, I’ll come back with a more interesting topic next week. SEE YA!
