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霜或打一点点粉底，你看起来就会很不同。若是再画眼线，涂睫毛膏，打眼影，扑粉，甚至有点极端（但颇流行的）画点脸部轮廓线，你完全可以变成另一个人。
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.
这就是化妆的魔力。不管你是质朴女孩还是美妆达人的男友，你都不得不承认化妆真的有神奇的力量。前段时间走红网络的韩国妹子卸妆视频就是个例子。
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.
上个月初，一名韩国姑娘在网络上上传了自己的卸妆视频，没想到短短几天在全球点击率就突破三百万。若是看了视频中她判若两人的前后对比，就不难理解为什么这个视频会这么红。
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.
视频的主角是一位不知名的女子，视频开始时她对着镜头微笑，从精致白皙的皮肤和烟熏的眼圈可以看出她化了浓妆。
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.
她把卸妆水倒在卸妆棉上，开始为左半边脸卸妆。等她拿开卸妆棉、再次看镜头的时候，左边无妆和右边带妆的鲜明对比着实令人咋舌。
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.
虽然评论中有人指出，这个视频有经过后期加工的嫌疑。因为视频开始时，她带着假睫毛和美瞳，仅用化妆棉擦拭了之后，这些东西就都不见了。
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.
先不管这些细节，光是看她前后的对比图就足以说明，化妆达人可以利用化妆品扬长避短，让自己发生脱胎换骨的变化。
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.
还有不少人想知道她用的是什么卸妆水。因为通常这么浓的妆，起码要用两块卸妆棉用力才能擦掉，可她卸妆的过程看起来相当轻松：仅用一块卸妆棉敷了一会，轻松就擦掉了化妆品。
