[teen stories] WHAT'S THE MAKEUP CHARACTERISTICS OF GYOPOS LIVING IN THE US?

T/N: Gyopo = Korean who are living overseas and who have lost their touch with their home country. A bit like calling an Asian a "banana"/expat

Somehow, when someone is a gyopo, you can just tell right away.. what's the characteristics of their makeup? Is it because they don't make their skin whiter??? Maybe their eyelashes??.. or the shape of their eyebrows??



This person is also an American gyopo

90% of them have monolids and have eyeliner on. They kinda look like the lead in To All The Boys I've Loved Before

Back in the days (~ 20 years ago) gyopo's hair and makeup kinda looked refreshing and new compared to Korea, but now, they somehow look countrified

They have a heavy base makeup and put their blushes on a diagonal

Even without makeup, you can feel the gyopo vibes... I'm curious about where that vibe comes from
> Agree ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ it's like they grew up drinking the American water

Arched eyebrows + dark powder contouring + pearly and gold tone highlighter or blusher + long-tailed and upward slopping eye liner + MLBB over lined lips + long fake eyelashes

But it's obvious that they are gyopos even without the makeup. It's not just girls but boys tooㅇㅇ Lee Kihong is a good case too. There's this Korean American actor who isn't famous too (who was adopted when he was a baby), and he doesn't give off the Korean vibes. I think that it's because these people grew up by being influenced by the aura of another country. I know a Korean-Russian person and they just look Korea. I don't remember their name but they were so good at Korean. There's also this American grandpa who's been living in Korea for a few decades and he has the Korean vibe

American gyopos just have that American makeup. Also, the American gyopos all have that distinct vibe, monolids and a bit of a tan. There are a lot of boys who look like this
