Jessica Vu Douyin Makeup

Video: BEGINNER DOUYIN MAKEUP ♡ Everyday Chinese Douyin Makeup for Beginners
Creator: Jessica Vu
Date: July 16, 2024

🌸 First Impressions

I just watched Jessica Vu’s new Douyin makeup tutorial, and WOW-her breakdown of Chinese Douyin (抖音) makeup is both detailed and beginner-friendly. If you’ve ever wondered how to get that flawless, doll-like look trending on Xiaohongshu and Douyin, this is the video to watch!

✨ What I Loved

  • Clear Explanation of Douyin vs. Korean Makeup: Jessica explains that while Korean makeup is soft and natural, Douyin makeup is all about contrast, artistic contouring, and a matte, poreless base. I never realized how different these styles are!
  • Step-by-Step Guidance: She walks through every step-foundation, powder, lips, contour, eyes, lashes, and even colored contacts. Super helpful for beginners.
  • Product Honesty: I love that she’s honest about what she likes and doesn’t! (She didn’t recommend the Judydoll foundation for everyday wear because it’s heavy and patchy.)
  • Lip Technique: The M-shaped lip stain is such a signature Douyin look. Her tip about layering and contouring lips for that “AI doll” effect is genius!
  • Artistic Contour: The comparison to Netflix’s “Arcane” is spot-on. The sharp, almost painted contour is so different from Western blending.

💄 Key Products Used (and Links!)

  • Base: Judydoll Traceless Cloud-Touch Cream Foundation (not recommended for daily use)
  • Setting Powder: Laura Mercier Pink Translucent Loose Brightening Setting Powder [link]
  • Lips: Peripera Ink Mood Glowy Tint (Rose in Mind, Cherry So What)
  • Contour: KVD Beauty Shade + Light Powder Contour Palette, Gucci Beauty Blush, CLIO Prism Highlighter
  • Eyes: Flortte Double Eyelid Tape, ColourPop BFF Creme Gel Liner, CLIO Kill Lash Mascara, YesStyle Mogugu Dolly Manhua Eyelashes
  • Contacts: Moody Lenses Hush Hush Stellar Brown, OLENS Blue Colored Contacts

👀 My Favorite Tips from Jessica

  • Matte, Poreless Base: Even if you want a glowy finish, Douyin makeup starts with a matte, flawless canvas.
  • Layered Lip Stain: Apply, let it set, wipe, and reapply for long-lasting, dimensional lips.
  • Harsh Contour Lines: Don’t over-blend! The look is meant to be a little dramatic, almost like digital art.
  • False Lashes: Use strip lashes with visible segments for that “drawn-on” eye effect.
  • Colored Contacts: Enlarging lenses really complete the dolly transformation.

🎀 Would I Try This Look?

Absolutely! The Douyin style is bold, fun, and a refreshing change from the usual soft glam. I’m especially excited to try the M-shaped lips and the high-contrast contour. (Though I might need some practice with the eyelid tape and lashes!)
