Congrats to "Paris Golden Hands," "Detail Sohn," and "O Dolce Vita" advanced to the final stage!
Based on the trailer, the finalists are only allowed to use the sponsor's K-beauty product. I think this setup may give "Detail Sohn," who works at a beauty salon, a slight advantage.

I'm surprised "First Man" didn't advance to the final.
He values the art more than the model's comfort, so I'm not a fan. But he consistently delivered high-quality work, combining creativity and technique, throughout the competitions.
I felt his stamina was affected in the last round.

#JustMakeup Ep. 9

The finalist selection process is fascinating!
With the theme of "new face," three rounds of competition with different topics are held. A finalist is chosen each round.
This challenge is difficult in terms of both creativity and technique, as well as stamina and mental endurance

Accidentally poured too much soy sauce, and now the color looks like yakisoba 😂

Excommuned by the gravity sounds so cool!! I want to try this as well!!

I find this quite ironic:
For the first time, BRT, a delivery company, is requesting a BRT security code that I must present to the courier to receive the package.
Also, the first time I've received an opened package that's been taped back with BRT tape.

Don't feel the package is that "secure."

The Asian supermarket is selling yamaimo again!
The uncut yamaimo can be stored for a long time. In my kitchen, they keep fresh longer than potatoes.

Conclusion: I plan to keep the K3 cause I reclaimed precious desk space, as I don't need a wrist rest when working with a low-profile keyboard!
To avoid wasting the potential of K3 Max, I will explore other functions later.

6/6

Things that don't bother me (yet), but are worth mentioning:
K3 has a non-backlight shine-through keycap. Thus, the backlight doesn't help me to see the keys much in the dark.
Also, low-profile mechanical keyboards typically have fewer options for keycaps and switches.

5/6

The typing sounds are drastically different: K3 sounds duller to me.
K3 has QMK function for key remapping, but cannot mimic the Apple globe key. It is sad that I can no longer switch input languages with a single key.

4/6

Thoughts on K3 Max, brown switch
Even though both K2 and K3 have brown switches, they feel quite different when typing. Maybe because of the longer travel distances? I have to press harder when typing and get more feedback.

3/6

Why get a new keyboard?
I have to use a wrist rest when using a standard profile keyboard. Maybe I don't need one with a low-profile keyboard, and I can reclaim some precious desk space! Since my K2 battery is dead, I have a perfect excuse to try a low-profile keyboard.

2/6

Unprofessional review of the mechanical keyboard (Keychron K3 Max) after a week ( ´▽` )ﾉ

Prologue:
My first and only mechanical keyboard before this one was Keychron K2 version 2 (hot-swappable), brown switches. I used it for three years.

Thank you!
And I totally agree with you, seafood provides an irreplaceable, wonderful flavor!

Sorry for your loss. You and family members who pursued healthcare have shown how his memory will live on through the lives he touched ❤️

It wasn’t intentional, but look back at the pictures, I’ve had many seafood since last week!
Some seasonal craving maybe ( ´▽` )?

Perfect opportunity for the kids to learn that animals with horns could be dangerous and you'd better run when they are charging at you, unicorn included. It's not all rainbow, sparkle, and magical 😜

Based on the challenges and judging criteria, skills and creativity are the two most important factors. I think makeup artists of brands or freelancers are likely to win in the end.

(7/7)

Makeup artists of brands or freelancers with experience working on cover shoots, fashion shows, or brand events seem to be more creative and versatile. They are not confined to the idea of beauty but focus on the ideas they want to present or how to complement the collaborators' ideas.

(6/7)

Their makeup might not be as detailed, which I suspected wouldn't be obvious when showing online.
Their strength is more in creativity and catching attention.
The same goes for the drag queens, who are, firstly and mostly, performers themselves instead of makeup artists.

(5/7)

Online beauty creators/influencers mostly put makeup on themselves; many were self-taught in the craft, and mostly showed their makeup in their studio. So most of them are not used to putting makeup on models, have a basic idea, but without a professional workflow.

(4/7)

In my opinion, the makeup artists who work with idols have more chances to progress in the competition since they might have more opportunities to be creative than those who work in a salon specializing in bridal makeup.

(3/7)

The makeup artists from beauty salons are more comfortable making the models fit into the Korean beauty standard, and they are great at this, it's their bread and butter. And due to the beauty standard, their color palettes are not that vibrant and less creative.

(2/7)

#JustMakeup Ep.8

The contestants include makeup artists who work in beauty salons, brands, online beauty creators/influencers, freelancers, drag artists, etc.
I could guess their background based on how they interpreted each challenge!

My 11-year-old sitting with her pile of Halloween candy, sorting it into a bar graph

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

The second challenge, a one-on-one death match between makeup artists working on the same theme with a pair of twins, is what truly drew me into the show.
It's fascinating to watch the two artists interpret the same theme with different looks.
I'm constantly wowing in front of the screen.

Just Makeup from the PrimeVideo

Watching #JustMakeup now.
It's basically Culinary Class Wars for makeup artists, and it's produced by the same studio.
The first challenge was for each artist to do their signature makeup. Since I'm no makeup expert, I can't distinguish details that truly matter. (cont.

Contacted the jeweler about renewing a pair of earrings that I bought from there five years ago.
I noticed that they're still selling the exact same style of earrings, but the price has DOUBLED 😱

A Ruru Owl is thoroughly bedraggled, wrapped in a blue towel after a bath. His cat-like eyes are fixed on the camera, wide and yellow. Feathers around the chest are matted and parted to expose skin that looks like, well... uncooked chicken breast. Green plastic boxes appear on a concrete slab behind.

A full body shot of the wet owl, sans towel. His Sid Vicious plumage is blackened by the wetness, and some barbs are stuck to the the feather shafts, creating gaps in the wings that look like see-through ribs. The photo really is something: imagine a yellow-eyed Koosh ball on a swivel, sticking out from a tarred turkey carcass. A truly bizarre and sorry-looking creature, but if it's any assurance the owl is fine. His legs are bowed with tan-feathered toes splayed out below. He stands upon a white net inside a green plastic box, with wooden perches around the edge.

Another angle of this Cronenbergian horror with Disney eyes. This one's taken a little closer, and the owl's leg stance is sturdier. If you ignore the whole looking-like-a-drowned-abomination aspect, he's far more photogenic and you know what? Kinda badass. Like a character-select screen in an RPG. What's interesting is we don't often see the definition of an owl's neck (the head feathers typically merge into the shoulder like a lumpy snowman), but here with everything matted and shaped to the owl's bone structure he appears almost humanoid.

How can this possibly be the same owl? Feathers now dry, our Ruru friend has resumed his original puffy shape, like an inflatable butternut squash. His eyes are still wide, but rather than taking up 90% of his face, they're now (in terms of size) like finger holes in a bowling ball. His legs are held by a bare-handed rehabilitator. His chest feathers are an impressive medley of brushstrokes (the owl not the person) in white, tan and dark brown. The background is a garage interior, with ladder, workbench, and sheets of soft plastic strewn about before a wall of cardboard boxes and metal rolling door.

Happy #Owloween! It's the 31st of #Owltober and we've saved one of the best for last: A wet Ruru Owl at Wildbase Recovery after a bath for flaky skin. Pics pre- and post- blowdry are night and day. Want to donate? wildbaserecovery.co.nz/help-us/dona... Source: fb.com/389992264669... #owlsintowels 💛🦉
