A little BB cream or even light foundation can go a long way. Throw in some eyeliner and mascara, eyeshadow and face powder, or even the more extreme (but very popular) face contouring, and you can look almost like an entirely different person.
涂一些BB霜或打一點點粉底，你看起來就會很不同。若是再畫眼線，涂睫毛膏，打眼影，撲粉，甚至有點極端（但頗流行的）畫點臉部輪廓線，你完全可以變成另一個人。

Makeup does that. Whether you’re more of a natural girl or you’re a man who loves a woman who is skilled at applying makeup, there’s no denying that makeup has almost magical powers in certain cases. Take for example the South Korean woman in the video below.
這就是化妝的魔力。不管你是質樸女孩還是美妝達人的男友，你都不得不承認化妝真的有神奇的力量。前段時間走紅網絡的韓國妹子卸妝視頻就是個例子。

The video was posted online at the beginning of the month, but it’s already nearing 3 million views fast, and getting attention from the international media. Once you see the startling difference in the woman’s face at the end of it, you will understand this kind of interest in it.
上個月初，一名韓國姑娘在網絡上上傳了自己的卸妝視頻，沒想到短短幾天在全球點擊率就突破三百萬。若是看了視頻中她判若兩人的前后對比，就不難理解為什么這個視頻會這么紅。

The unidentified woman starts off the video by looking and smiling into the camera: she’s got a face full of makeup, which is clear both from her porcelain, flawless skin and her eyes, heavy with smoky makeup.
視頻的主角是一位不知名的女子，視頻開始時她對著鏡頭微笑，從精致白皙的皮膚和煙熏的眼圈可以看出她化了濃妝。

She applies some makeup remover to one pad and then proceeds to removing half her face. By the time she looks into the camera again, half her face is completely clean, while the other is as it was at the beginning, and there is a huge difference between the two.
她把卸妝水倒在卸妝棉上，開始為左半邊臉卸妝。等她拿開卸妝棉、再次看鏡頭的時候，左邊無妝和右邊帶妝的鮮明對比著實令人咋舌。

Commenters in the video claim some editing trickery must also be involved, because she seems to be wearing iris enlarging contacts at the beginning of the video, but she’s never seen removing the lens from one eye. Neither is she seen removing the fake lashes that she appears to be wearing.
雖然評論中有人指出，這個視頻有經過后期加工的嫌疑。因為視頻開始時，她帶著假睫毛和美瞳，僅用化妝棉擦拭了之后，這些東西就都不見了。

These details aside, the video shows the magic of makeup, if you know how to apply it to emphasize your best features and to hide what you perceive as your flaws.
先不管這些細節，光是看她前后的對比圖就足以說明，化妝達人可以利用化妝品揚長避短，讓自己發生脫胎換骨的變化。

On a related note, it’s also getting attention because people want to know what kind of makeup remover she’s using. Normally, removing the amount of makeup she does in the video would require some scrubbing and at least 2 cotton pads, but she does it easily, with just one - and some soaking.
還有不少人想知道她用的是什么卸妝水。因為通常這么濃的妝，起碼要用兩塊卸妝棉用力才能擦掉，可她卸妝的過程看起來相當輕松：僅用一塊卸妝棉敷了一會，輕松就擦掉了化妝品。
