If you're looking for a BB Cream that matches your skin tone and your preferences, we know how difficult it can be. This is why we would like to show you the swatches between two very popular and top-selling BB Creams on the market. First, the Missha M Perfect BB Cream. This BB Cream comes in 5 shades that can provide great coverage for nearly anyone.

The Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream gives an even and natural-looking coverage with the soothing, moisturizing properties of a cream. It is suitable for all skin types including acne-prone skin and can be used as a makeup base or foundation. Blemish Balm, also called BB Cream, is known to have been formulated as an after-treatment cream to help patients who have gone through laser skin surgery to soothe and regenerate the skin.

Time for the BB Cream swatches!

*(Model is around an NC20.)

*Swatches from the lightest to the darkest shade, bottom to top of photo. 

• The first is No. #13, a fair shade perfect for those of NC20 or lighter as it has more pink and cooler undertones.  
• The next shade, No. #21 would probably suit our model best. It has warmer undertones and when blended, it is most like the model's skin tone. 
• The third one is in shade No. #23,  similar to No. #21 but a little richer in color and a tad darker but also has a warmer undertone.
• Next, we have one of the darkest colors, No. #27. This has a lot more yellow and golden undertones that would be suitable for those who are more tan. 
• Lastly, we have the darkest of the Missha M Perfect BB Cream shades, and one of the darkest in the market! This is No. #31, suitable for those who are NC30 and up.  It has warm brown undertones.

How to figure out your undertone?

I’ve found one of the most straight-forward ways to determine your undertones is to look at the underside of your forearm: if your veins are greener, you have warmer undertones; if your veins are bluer, you have cooler undertones. What if they’re neither? or both? Never fear, it means you have more neutral undertones and kind of get the best of both worlds. Another way to tell is if you feel like you look better in warmer colors (e.g. gold) or cooler colors (e.g. silver) — some think about what kind of jewelry (either gold or silver) they prefer on themselves.

Ok, let's compare the Missha with Lioele... 

In case you wish to see how the Missha M Perfect BB Cream compares to another BB Cream, we're going to compare it with the Lioele Beyond the Solution BB Cream and the Lioele Triple the Solution BB Cream, two of the most popular BB Creams on the market!

In the photo below, the 5 shades of Missha M Perfect BB Cream have been swatched, next to the Lioele BB Creams. The Lioele BB Creams seem to have more yellow and golden undertones, which is probably due to the fact Lioele is a Korean cosmetics company and as it was created in Korea, the shade that was most used was probably of more yellow undertones to suit the Asian BB cream users. 

Lioele Beyond the Solution BB Cream helps to create a clean and natural skin tone by being absorbed into your skin with a soft usage. This enables speedy make-up application due to the unnecessary need to apply makeup base or foundation. Ingredients such as bisaborol, licorice root acid derivatives, allantoin, etc. soothe your skin and ingredients such as jojoba oil, macadamianut oil, hyaluronic acid derivatives, vegetable collagen, etc. keep your skin moist and smooth.

• Adheres tightly to skin due to the fermented yoghurt component
• Contains absolutely no organic sun block
• Perfect protection from the sun
• Continuous wrinkle reduction and whitening even while putting on makeup
• Fresh and Brilliant BB Cream with no greasiness

The FULLER Lip Effect

STEP 1
Let's start with the first step. Make sure your lips are clean, oil-free and product-free. The first step is to simply take a concealer or even an eyeshadow stick that matches your skin tone and gently outline your lip area. Be sure not to make the line too thick, or else the illusion will look obvious! 





STEP 2
Now we're ready for the next part. After your lips have been outlined, gently smudge the outline with the pad of your index finger. Be sure to smudge it outwards or only along the outline, not into your lips. This will make the outline look less harsh and visible.





STEP 3
Lastly, you can now fill in your lips with your favorite lip color. Using a matte lip balm or lipstick will do the best job when it comes to this illusion because the solid look will look more apparent; whereas, a lip product such as a lip gloss will draw away the look of the illusion as the gloss will be distracting.








VOILA!
There you have it. Natural looking plumped lips without any needles or extra cash spent! Finding a use for a beauty product that was intentionally designed for another purpose is great as it makes it become a multi-use product as well as saves your wallet on unnecessary procedures and/or beauty products!

What you MUST know about Lioele's Product Repackagings

Have you noticed Lioele's products being repackaged every now and then? We learned why, from Lioele's headquarters directly. The company changes up their packaging not just for more eye-appeal but also to prevent fraud sales of Lioele products to take place on the market, as they have more and more over the years while Lioele's actual products get more popular amongst the population. If you are able to get your hands on the newest designed/packaged products, you have your hands on something authentic. Why? Lioele informed us that only Lioele's official partners such as Pretty&Cute are provided with the absolute newest products. Take a look below at some re-packaging examples and see why it is so important that you know about them: 

We'll show you some product comparisons...

1) At a first glance, you will probably notice that this product is the Lioele Triple Beyond the Solution BB Cream. You are correct. However, this is how it looked 5 YEARS AGO. Lioele has repackaged this best-seller product years ago to the pink packaging with a gold rim around the bottom of the cap. If you still have or have recently purchased a gold packaged one, beware as it is over 5 years old and the formula could be extremely harmful to your skin. If you have recently purchased the gold version, stay alert and cautious of the seller who is very likely to be a fraud as well.

2) The famous Lioele Water Drop BB Cream - A water drop formula that both moisturizes and covers skins imperfections has also been repackaged into a cool blue container with some of its emblems rearranged. The color on the overall packaging is a brighter sky blue and now clearly displays the name of the product as well as "SPF 27 PA ++".  This product is one of Lioele's top selling BB Creams, so be sure that you are purchasing the latest version.

3) This is the Lioele Blackhead Clear, a product that gently lifts away pore buildups without burning sensation. Helps soften white head and blackheads for a easy extraction. Based on botanical ingredients, by making hardened sebum to soft. It makes sebum to be detached naturally. Its packaging has become more distinguishable from the popular BB Cream line and has a darker magenta pink and black look to it. It also has a silver band printed on the middle of the box and container with a nose icon.

4) The Lioele Pore Clean & Tightening Pack has taken the most dramatic re-design of the bunch that has recently gone under redesign. The product now comes in a jar type container where you are able to use a scooper or finger to dispense the product. The jar is a matte black with magenta and black wording, similar to the new design of the Lioele Blackhead Clear (above). With a jar type container, it is now easier to scoop out the amount of product desired, rather than having to touch the former tube and making a mess.

5) Lioele Vita Juicy Foam Cleanser - Blueberry extract works as balancing factor of oil and moisture of the skin for fresh finish and exfoliates dead skin cells for soft skin. And Vitamins and Lioele's patented formula leaves the skin healthy and vitalized. The packaging has been redone as well and has less graphics and colors. For some, simplicity is desired but for others, colors and more vibrance is desired. Either way, this package now comes in a white squeeze tube and is a little bit larger. Same great product, just different look.

6) Sometimes, cosmetic companies will only reword their products rather than repackage it entirely. The Lioele Daily Soothing Sun Milk has been renamed to Lioele Daily Soothing Essence Sun. Other than the very slight name change, the overall look of the product is the exact same - a smooth white tube with a bright pink cap. 


See Product By Clicking HERE

7) Similar to the Lioele Daily Soothing Essence Sun product (above), Lioele has only renamed the A.C. Control Scar Zero Cream to A.C. Control White Spot Cream. The product and overall packaging is the exact same, but now has a slightly different name that may be easier to comprehend.

Now you know why cosmetic companies tend to redesign and repackage their products on a frequent basis. We hope this helped you to stay alert for any false products. As Pretty&Cute is one of the few authorized Lioele distributors, we stand proud when we say that we have all of Lioele's latest and most authentic products available straight from Korea.

Why & How to Lighten Your Eyebrows

Why Lighten the Brows

If you go for a hair color change that’s more than two shades lighter than your natural color, your eyebrows are going to look a little strange compared to your new hair color. Make sure your brows keep up with your hair color by lightening them up to match! Another benefit of lightening your brows: It opens up your eyes and makes them pop. You might notice your face looking a little fresher with lighter brows as well.

Eye Shadow Colors

Although special brow powders will lighten your eyebrows effectively, you can create almost the same look with eye shadows in similar colors without having to purchase a completely different product. Try tan, light brown or taupe eye shadows to kick the color of your brows up a notch. Steer clear of shimmery or glittery eye shadows to create natural looking brows that match your own hair color.

Apply the Shadow

Brush your brows into the shape you want with an eyebrow brush. Grab an eyebrow pencil that matches the eye shadow color and outline your brows carefully first to keep them alined. Keep the lines short and light for a natural look. Now grab the eye shadow and an angled brush. Load the brush lightly and tap off any excess powder. Brush on the eye shadow, working from the inside edge to the outside edge of your brows. Keep the shadow light and blend it in well with your natural eyebrow hairs. Keep going until you finish lightening your brows to your heart’s content.

What Makes It Work?

The formula includes extracts from 16 different effective plants including special vegetable ingredients containing AHA, a strong smoothing ingredient in many beauty products around the world. Shea Butter is also an ingredient in this product, that has great moisturizing benefits, such as in many of the best body lotions and butters on the market. What's even better? Phytoncide ingredients give energy to your tired feet and nutrients

Step 2

Carefully snip or tear a formula pack and pour into sock with one hand holding the sock tight upright. Then, pour the second package into other sock. 

Step 3

Tie each sock tightly at the ankle and use hands or wiggle feet to make sure formula covers all parts of feet. Wear socks for at least one and a half hour or longer if desired. Avoid any rough feet movement for best results.

Step 4

Take socks off and dispose into trash. Rinse feet with lukewarm water thoroughly. 

It could take 2-3 days at the latest to begin peeling. Simple peel off dry layers and dispose. 

Staff Feedback

A staff member tried it for herself and was amazed by the results! She used it while relaxing and enjoying her favorite TV show in the comfort of her own home. After 1 and a half hours, she took off the socks and rinsed. The next day, she was able to peel off dry layers of skin and was able to uncover completely baby-feet feeling skin on her feet.


She says: "I've always had dry feet and lotions never seemed to do the trick. It would at first, but it would eventually wear off. I gave this new product a shot, it definitely didn't hurt at all and was so easy to use. I was surprised by the results and how I was able to continue to peel off the dead skin for about 3 days. I didn't even know my feet could feel so smooth!"
