Our Visit

Today, I paid a visit to 'ROA.MAKEUP,' conveniently located just a 6-minute walk from Hongik University Station. Renowned for its expertise in discovering colors that complement your personality and skin tone while accentuating your strengths, Roamakeup is a well-known makeup shop.

Upon stepping inside, I noticed an array of licenses and certificates adorning the walls. The makeup artist in charge today is ROA, the founder of ROA Makeup. With 15 years of experience, she has collaborated with overseas artists, announcers, and influencers.

The interior is elegantly adorned in a clean white tone, offering a pleasant and well-maintained atmosphere.

Every makeup product and tool is meticulously organized, contributing to the overall neatness of the space.

In the class that I participated in today, I got to learn what makeup tools and products to use to get the best look that suits my face.

The session kicks off with a fresh face, devoid of any makeup. For those attending, it's recommended to arrive with a clean, bare face. If needed, there's a bathroom available for face cleansing.

The makeup stylist will take a look at your face and start to teach you how to use makeup to enhance your features. 

It all starts off with skincare. The makeup artist will moisturize your face with toner-soaked cotton pads so that you start off with a smooth moisturized canvas.

When the makeup artist does you makeup, watch carefully and mentally take notes so you don't miss a thing. 

As she does your makeup, she'll tell you what you need to do to enhance your facial features.

I also got to try out the techniques used on me so I could remember it more.

At the end, they style your hair for you as well. I got a face-framing look to shape my face better.

This is the final look! I really did feel like this look fit my face more than what I usually do!

After the class, I got to take a moment to take pictures of all the products used on me. I definitely picked up some of the items on my way home.

Selfies are a given, of course, after doing something like this. I was super satisfied with my appointment because not only did I get to get my makeup done by an experienced professional, I got to learn tips and tricks that will last me a lifetime as well! I highly recommend booking an appointment at ROA.MAKEUP if you want to learn more about makeup as well!
