Actress Lee Min-jung has confessed to her struggles with makeup.
On October 14, Lee Min-jung's YouTube channel 'Lee Min-jung MJ' released a video titled 'Shocked by Lee Min-jung's Makeup Pouch. MJ's Makeup Struggle Escape'.
In the video, Lee Min-jung shared her connection with beauty guru Risabae, revealing that they frequent the same massage parlor. The two bonded over their preference for intense massages, both opting for levels 8.5 to 9.
In response to Lee Min-jung's lament about being a "makeup novice," Risabae complimented her, saying, "You don't need to be good at makeup. You're naturally beautiful." Lee Min-jung admitted, "I want to look nice when I go out alone, but I can't even draw a line, and people laugh when I apply blush."
Risabae inspected Lee Min-jung's makeup pouch and discovered an 8-year-old eyeshadow, warning, "Using old products can cause skin issues." She also found a lip balm from an airplane and other outdated items, joking, "This looks like something from a museum," which brought laughter.
Lee Min-jung showcased her bare face with only a base applied, drawing attention for her clear skin with a slight redness. Risabae accurately guessed, "Did you play golf yesterday?" surprising everyone.
As Risabae began the makeup session, she remarked, "Your neck is beautiful. That's not something massages can achieve. It's natural. It's like looking at a piece of art," but also advised, "Make sure to apply sunscreen on your neck."
Lee Min-jung reminisced, "I used to have aegyo-sal (cute under-eye fat) when I was younger, but it seems to have disappeared. When I was a rookie, applying eyeliner made my eyes look smaller, and everyone wondered, 'Why does it look like this?' after makeup."
Eager to learn makeup, Lee Min-jung attempted to draw eyeliner but gave up after two tries, exclaiming "Oh, shoot," which made Risabae laugh and remind her, "No swearing allowed."
Risabae praised Lee Min-jung, saying, "You have a good sense of aesthetics. You know exactly what you can and can't do."
