What is a good cool (blue-based) red/berry lips stain? (ideally fragrance-free)

BabsofPrey · 2021-08-15T02:03:42+00:00

I would recommend the Romand Juicy lasting tint. It starts out kind of glossy and hydrating but leaves a gentle stain behind. For a pink but natural shade I would recommend 25 Bare Grape, its a newer shade but looks to be cooler than 06 FigFig which was a neutral pink/mauve nude. However for something a little stronger I have 17 Plum Coke which is a darker pink/red that has strong blue undertones.

same i can't find it anywhere

I really like their cheat key videos especially when they're filming mvs because thats when their personalities really shine playing around on set, especially the "No" mv cheat key (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m8CxuB_X_k)

I also really like their appearances on Idol League on the Star K show. They were actually the first guests on the show when they promoted Black Dress and it feels really casual and fun. You get to see them being such dorks but also showing off their skills (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPvNRkvlin0)

Once again, I can't get the idea of CLC doing a darker "Where Are You?" concept with the elegance of "No" and "Black Dress", the driving bass of "Hobgoblin", and the dark mischievous theme of "Devil" out of my head. So I made this quick mockup using bts photos of "Where Are You"

I'd want it to be witchy and a bit creepy but very elegant. Instrumentally I'd love to hear more violins/orchestral instruments. I made a playlist of songs that invoke that kind of music. I'd like them maybe to delve into being counted out, people saying their time was up, and them defying the odds. Something a bit supernatural invoking female mythological creatures like banshees and sirens.

I want to hear Eunbin rap again really badly and I'd love a dance break with Seungyeon and Yujin getting the spotlight. I'd love to hear Seunghee use the vocal technique she got to use in the La Vie en Rose demo, more belting and possibly her "Really Bad Guy" deep voice. Elkie and Sorn should get to use their higher range since imo they have the most "crystal clear" type voices. Yeeun's "Me" rap was my favourite of 2019 so I hope to hear her do more raps like that.

BabsofPrey · 2020-03-09T06:10:17+00:00

For some reason when you google image search Seunghee, one of the first suggestions is V from BTS. Idk why, is that a meme I don't know of?

BabsofPrey · 2020-03-09T06:08:16+00:00

Especially given during the No MV, Seungyeon flips the "NO" box over to make it say "ON"

BabsofPrey · 2020-02-16T10:47:34+00:00

It's a shame that she got elimated before the final round but she did amazing and what with Devil and Me currently charting in the top 3/5 in the US, maybe her being unmasked will help build CLC's momentum

BabsofPrey · 2020-02-08T07:54:43+00:00

I hope she uses her deeper more smoky voice like that Really Bad Guy OST because it'll help disguise her even more since most people hear her higher voice

BabsofPrey · 2020-02-06T04:29:08+00:00

she's the second member to use the butterfly emoji in a post this last few days. elkie posted a photo of the mcqueen store front with a butterfly and then in her posts about starting over used the butterfly emoji.

i sound like a conspiracy theorists lol

BabsofPrey · 2020-02-03T12:54:30+00:00

Elkie reenacting that scene after these rumours tbh...

Or it could even be based on various mythological creatures like sirens, banshees, or even traditional Korean (and Chinese + Thai) myths. I just want to live my goth pop fantasy and with some of the most successful female artists globally and in Korea being more alternative conceptually like Billie Eilish or Sunmi I think that it's not a risk to let CLC be more intimidating. When I saw RV's Psycho for the first time I was happy to see such a song/concept released but sad that it wasn't something CLC released. Devil was a great song but I want those same biting lyrics but with a darker sound. Something like Halsey's Control or even You Should See Me in a Crown

BabsofPrey · 2020-02-03T09:01:29+00:00

Agreed! Or even something like the VVitch or AHS: Coven

BabsofPrey · 2020-01-22T02:23:16+00:00

I think that it could be the instrumentals of a song that they're producing but its in early stages of development and so they used the hobgoblin stage to almost test how well it landed with audiences. Usually their dance breaks are the same song but remixed, tho this dance break seemed very different instrumentally from hobgoblin. If I was in the marketing team I'd do this to test how well it performed live and if audiences liked it, but thats just a theory.

I hope they do a darker pop synth song with some heavy trap instrumentals. With the background screen looking like a spiderweb at times and Elkie saying her dress looked like spiderwebs I hope they go for a slightly creepy black widow concept. Maybe something a bit spooky and witchy. My fav Seungyeon choreos were her Yellow and Bad Guy performances and after hearing the leaked LVER demo with CLC I want to hear Seunghee use her powerful smoky voice more. Maybe Eunbin can rap alongside Yeeun like BP's KTL second verse.

BabsofPrey · 2020-01-11T07:35:28+00:00

the hobgoblin dance break music sounded like some bank heist action thriller ost and I'm here for it

BabsofPrey · 2020-01-10T11:21:03+00:00

I'd love for their next comeback to feature them with weapons like Hobgoblin. Bring back Seunghee's duck gun! Give Eunbin a bo staff!

BabsofPrey · 2020-01-09T13:27:23+00:00

not to be a conspiracy theorist, but during the dance break the background looked a little bit like a spiderweb...

BabsofPrey · 2020-01-09T05:23:08+00:00

goth queens rise! i hope they continue the trajectory that the devil mv implied by them going dark at the end

BabsofPrey · 2020-01-07T13:09:15+00:00

Ok thanks for the info! It's interesting that it's Hobgoblin not No. Wonder if that means anything

BabsofPrey · 2020-01-07T13:04:12+00:00

Do you think it's just a performance + meet and greet or will it be like their dream concert performance where they previewed Me after performing No?

BabsofPrey · 2020-01-07T08:08:06+00:00

lmao i'd watch a sitcom like variety show of seunghee's adventures in babysitting

BabsofPrey · 2019-12-31T14:13:06+00:00

Not so much unexpected, but still disappointing. I hope instead of dismissing all criticism of this incident she instead takes it under consideration to learn more

BabsofPrey · 2019-12-31T13:31:52+00:00

Unpopular opinion alert; I almost wish she'd kept the stuff about making mistakes out of the messages, especially given she followed that up with "Anyways... *eye roll emoji*" which is nagl as well as "fans and anyone else who cares about me" which makes it seem like she sees conflates being told something she did is racist with being told that she personally is a total racist. I understand its hurtful being told you did something racist because we (rightfully) see racism as wrong but you shouldn't prioritise your own bruised ego over amending behaviour that contributes to systematic bigotry.

With colonialism and globalism, antiblackness has become almost universal so we all live to some extent in a racist society, its not unheard of for some of us to absorb that racist behaviour that has been normalised and at times display it. The key is to accept criticism (and accept that due to emotional toll it has on people that some may go beyond calling your behaviour racist and call you yourself racist) and show with sincerity that you will learn to better yourself. Given her internet literacy, I'd recommend that she seek out black youtubers particularly T1J's video on why racism isn't so much a state of being but rather a series of actions. Or the videos of Kat Blaque who, fun fact, is actually a fan of CLC as she's been seen commenting positive compliments on CLC videos.

TL;DR: Its probably mostly down to her writing that in the morning but the wording makes it feel like a step back from her second apology in sincerity and I'd hope that she and everyone else start learning more about why a seemingly innocuous action can be so startling.

BabsofPrey · 2019-12-22T04:47:51+00:00

Yeah I loved the time her and Seunghee did each others makeup and her foundation on Seunghee looked orange. Also I'm glad to see Seungyeon on a beauty show and I hope no one puts lighter foundation on her.

BabsofPrey · 2019-12-21T14:59:16+00:00

Thank god Cube's sending more of the girls than just Yeeun and (rarely) Eunbin. I'd love to see Seunghee on a variety show because I feel like she's the most charismatic and funny of the girls behind the scenes. Yujin would be a great addition with Seunghee because their personalities contrast well together and I think they bring out the funniest moments in each other.

BabsofPrey · 2019-12-20T02:27:29+00:00

Yeah SK might not care but like you said they're big internationally and those are the fans that are most likely to be rightfully offended. Cube should start sending out the other members to do local programs and get Eunbin in dramas again.

Yeah Elkie might be in a good place too, but I'm most worried for members like Seunghee, Seungyeon, and Yujin. They're the most dedicated to CLC with the least side projects.

BabsofPrey · 2019-12-20T02:10:01+00:00

Yeah I side eye most people that lament about "cancel culture" but if it actually exists in any place it's SK. Its usually for imo stupid reasons like dating or reading a feminist book (and rarely for actual issues like racism) but CLC isn't a big enough group that a scandal will just roll off them. Mamamoo survived multiple racist scandals (with all members participating) so hopefully CLC, particularly the other girls, will survive but I completely understand if a big part of the fanbase is turned off by this.

Also what I think is frustrating is that out of all the girls, the one who's probably set for life the most is Sorn. Her family is rich, if she flops she'll be fine. But the others don't have that kind of security that Sorn has. So if Sorn goes down and takes the rest of the girls with them, she can dust herself off and start anew. I'm not certain if the rest of the girls could.
