Hannah Bahng Taught Us How to Use Her rom&nd Makeup Collection

For specific shades, I already had an idea of the general color palette that I wear daily, but I also wanted to put my own “out of the blue” spin on it where it can easily be used casually for everyday looks but also can be used to dress up more for something special too, which is why for the eyeshadow palette, I specifically wanted to have two matte shades and two shimmer shades. One of the shimmer shades is the special point blue shimmer highlight color that can be used in a lot of fun, versatile, and unique ways.

For the Glasting Melting Balm, I had a super fun experience being able to create my own melting balm at rom&nd’s open office in Seoul. They have a little mini lab where you can create your own unique melting balm shades, and that’s how I came up with the ‘Rose Bahng’ shade that I felt like could look good on not just myself but everyone else, too!

And then for the lip tint, I really love the “grape” family of rom&nd’s lip tint colors. I wear them every day, so I chose my favorite to include in my collection and repackaged it with the ‘Out of the Blue’ design.

TV: How do you recommend wearing the palette?

HB: I start with the ‘Rosy Bass’ shade as the matte “base” shade — see what I did there? — across the lid and along the outer lower lash line. Next, I go in with the other matte shade, ‘Mauve Cassette,’ just on the outer crease to accentuate the natural eye shape. I top it off with the shimmery ‘Blush Play’ shade.

If I’m going for a more casual, no-makeup-makeup look, I’ll stop there. If I’m going for something more fun and eye-catching, I’ll finish off with ‘The Blues’ shimmer shade on the inner lid/corner as the highlight shade and then blend out into the middle. I also like to put ‘The Blues’ shimmer onto my inner lower lash line sometimes to make it pop even more.

TV: How do you apply the tint for a finished look that lasts all day?

HB: Personally, for a casual everyday look that lasts, I apply it to the center/inner part of my lips and then use my finger to blend it out to the edges to give a natural gradient look because if you don’t have a harsh outline it tends to fade more naturally throughout the day, and I won’t need to reapply as often.

TV: How do you apply the balm?

HB: I actually usually start with the balm as a base color on my lip since it’s really hydrating and makes for a good natural base; then, if I want more of a pop of color, I’ll go in with the Juicy Lasting Tint on top.

TV: Any other tips or tricks you’d like to share?

HB: Yes! ‘The Blues’ shimmer shade also works really great as a highlighter, so you can add it on your cheekbones and even the tip of your nose to get a really nice and glowy highlight [that] looks amazing with both natural sunlight and flash photos as well! I also love to use the Rose Bahng melting balm as a blush; it adds a really nice, dewy touch to the final makeup look!
