We at TSC are very excited.. you know why? Because in a few days, we will have a new writer! Yippee! She will be giving us fab makeup and fashion tips and tutorials, so I figured, in celebration, I'm going to give my biggest tutorial yet! YAY!

Today I am showing you a really quite easy way to look like one of Korean band 2NE1's member, Bom. She always has stunning makeup and clothes, so I'll show you how to do your makeup and hair like her on Stardoll.

First, you'll need to prepare your MeDoll for the makeup. Choose a short hairstyle which doesn't cover the face (we'll be changing it after, anyway) and eyes that will fit multiple pairs of false lashes nicely. Also, this look works best with a paler skintone, but you can try with a darker tone if you wish.

Your MeDoll should look a little like this:

This is what your medoll should look like beforehand, clean and free of any makeup.

Okay, now we need to make sure you have everything you need for this look. The list may seem extensive, but you should have most of this in your beauty parlor anyway. If you don't, thats okay. You can always change the colours to suit your individual style.

This is what you'll need.

Now, first step is to grab your black eye kohl, and use it fairly evenly around the eyes. If it runs out and you have a couple of gaps where there is none, thats okay. You'll be covering it with false lashes and extra makeup.

Kohl  around the eyes carefully.

Next step is to grab your black eyeliner. Go all the way around the eyes. Although the picture we are working from doesn't look like the eyeliner goes the whole way around, it will all come together in the end.

Eyeliner ALL around the eyes.

Next, mascara. If you picked a Superstar - Only pair of eyes like me, you will only need the small mascara tube, not the long one. If you picked a non-ss pair of eyes, you can use both if you wish.

You can use the small mascara tube or the long one, or even both.

Next steps can be a little difficult, but thats what the Undo button is for :D

Okie dokie, eyeshadow time! First, grab your blue Luxe glitter eyeshadow, and dab a little at the very top of the eye. You can make it as heavy as you want, but remember that you can only use a specific amount of eyeshadow until you can't put anymore on.

Apply carefully, being aware of makeup restraints in the beauty parlor.

Next, take your pink Luxe glitter eyeshadow. Apply generously to either end of the blue eyeshadow, but make sure you leave room, because there is another lot of eyeshadow to go after this.

Apply the pink at either end of the blue.

Next is the green. You use the green to fill in the extra spaces that haven't been painted on with the pink and blue. I was looking for a really vibrant, in your face green like in the original picture, but I couldn't find any.

This is the last lot of eyeshadow. You can apply extra of the other colours now if you want.

Next we grab our blush. We only want a tiiiiny little bit on the cheeks, towards the edge of the face and the ears. You may not notice a lot going on, but it does make a difference.

Don't overdo the blush, you want to keep the cheek area looking natural.

Next is lips. I see that with the mouth I have here that the lipstick doesn't go on completely, but we can change the features of the face after. Grab your pink Dot lipstick and cover the lips entirely.

If the lipstick doesn't cover all the lips, you can change the mouth after.

Next we grab possibly the greatest Stardoll makeup item in history: our Luxe lipgloss. Do what you'd normally do with it... that doesn't include singing it to sleep with your hairdryer.

Looking good so far :D

Congratulations, you made it through makeup! But before we leave the Beauty Parlor, we have a couple more steps to complete. Now, go to your Jewelry tab, and find all the false lashes you can. Well, not really. The awesome long ones from Sunny Bunny are a no go, but you can use all three of the lash extensions in Spectacular, and the Midnight lashes in Sunny Bunny.

Be wary of lengths, you want it to look realistic as well as unique,

Now, you can change features to suit your needs and creative channels, but if we really want it to look like Bom, then we need to go by the book. The gorgeous ponytail and fringe she has unfortunately isn't in the Hair options, but we can still go with her fringe. Pick a hairstyle a little like this:

It is starting to look like Bom, isn't it?

Now, if you don't have a red hair dye, thats okay. I don't have a red dye, but to show you I'm going to Starplaza to finish the rest. The doll may look slightly different in the next steps because I forgot to save in the Beauty Parlor after I finished the makeup, and had to go back and do it all again.

Dye your dolls hair a lovely blood colored shade of red.

Now I'm starting to see the resemblance.

Now, if you want to go as far as clothes, I've recreated the outfit to the best of my ability. You can find the jacket and black top in Rio, and the rest of the clothes in Stardoll Shop.

Well, I do believe we're all done here.

Good job, Superstars!

Love always, A.S.
