Cream Shadow– Makeup like 김태연 (Kim TaeYeon of 소녀시대(SNSD)/Girls’ Generation)

This be taeyeon=태연; taengoo=탱구; etc. heehee
She is the leader of a South Korean girlgroup called 소녀시대–So Nyuh Shi Dae = SNSD or in English, Girls’ Generation.

Thus the “various” names, capiche? 🙂

Anyway, she was the leader –but they took the strain/pressure/stress off her shoulders from leader duties such as representing the group, and taking care of business with staff during photoshoots and varying things that they take care of with their authority– and just became one group of 9 girls women its really difficult to really label their age… young adults? They’re all 20-22 years old.

REGARDLESS
WIKI THEM IF YOU’RE CURIOUS, and I KNOW you are!

So her lids for a live performance– YES they sing their songs LIVE (so not as much computer editing going on but people continue to incorporate autotune…*coughbravebrothers*) while dancing, and synchronizing as a freaking group of 9! (They have been training since their elementary or middle school days in various aspects to be refined for the entertainment world…) They perform live 3 times in a weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, due to the existence of 3 different tv channels/stations. (There is a 4th one but SNSD’s company and that station do not have very good ties due to CD distribution fail or something…? *shrugs shoulders* I forget… go wiki that too! I am NOT relaying incorrect information so utilize the inter-webs people! haha)

— are typically shimmering, but there is a slight wash of color depending on the concept that they’re following at the specific situation.

So I was looking up cream eyeshadows alllll over!
And not just any cream eyeshadow, but the one that her stylist most likely applied, because whatever it is MUST be good because it has to last hours, sweat, or in general, strain. 🙂

So I’ve got the list down to what would be applied via 1 STEP rather than utilizing 2 or 3 products haha ;D

  1. Shiseido ‘The Makeup’ Hydro-Power Eye Shadow $25 (0.21 oz) in H8 Bare Pink or H9 Glistening Sand or H12 Lemon Sugar
  2. Yves Saint Laurent ‘Fard Lumiere Aquaresistant’ Waterproof Cream Eyeshadow $30 (0.22 oz) in #1 Pink Sands or #2 Amethyst Grey (summer 2010’s Riviera Blue looks STUNNING TOO OMG)
  3. Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner $19 (0.16 oz) in Tattle Tale or R.S.V.P.
  4. Clinique Quick Eyes Cream Shadow $15 (0.17 oz) in Seashell or Sparkling Nude
    EDIT: here are more brands i’ve decided to consider!
  5. Jill Stuart Jelly Eye Color N $33.35/3050yen–shipping included () in 01 diamond snow or 02 gold light or 03 platinum satin (jill stuart is available in asia or this website i linked to OR at their soho store which i may visit on the 22nd with a friend of mine)
  6. Addiction by Ayako $34.44/3150yen–shipping included () in …many shades. there are few swatches available so i’ll update the color selections later…
  7. Laura Mercier Metallic Creme Eye Colour $22 in Platinum or Gold
  8. *LE Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Liquid Eyeshadow $17.50 in Sand Shimmer
  9. Stila Smudge Pots $20 in Kitten
  10. Too Faced Eyeshadow Duo $17 in Erotica & Silk Teddy –I’d buy this for the Silk Teddy shade? I have to check how this powder shade appears on real life as I’ve only seen swatches that emphasized the reflective properties of Silk Teddy 😦

I’d like to get swatches for comparisons but we’ll see… right now, it is unlikely I’ll be able to pop my head into the mall. Earliest, June 12th? I’m taking the ACTs hehehehe.

I’ll update details about each potential color, particularly the cheaper cream shadows.

  • Temptalia.com –Bobbi Brown Metallic Long Wear Cream Eyeshadows are not very pigmented!
  • Unlikely to be anything from Make Up For Ever as their line’s shimmery/glittery products are all of a powder form.

*LE – limited edition
