Japanese makeup for every day
It is customary to think that such a make-up is too specific, and applying it without a reason can slightly shock others. But we are ready to assure you that a make-up in the Japanese style can be everyday and relevant even at work or school! Undoubtedly, in this case we will not use too bright colors, and also apply our skills in the visual arts, painting the face along and across. Japanese makeup can also be restrained and natural.
Step-by-step master class
Here's what we need from cosmetics to create it:
- tonal basis (2 shades lighter than your natural complexion);
- eyeliner black;
- shades of natural color - beige or light brown;
- voluminous mascara for eyelashes;
- rosy blush;
- pink or red lipstick, transparent shine.
Instruction with photo
- With the help of light shadows we bring the lower eyelid, and evenly we shade them on the upper eyelid. This procedure can also be done with a foundation.
- Make the outline of the eyes with a pencil or eyeliner. Begin to lead an arrow from the inner corner of the eye. To the middle, raise the arrow a little, making it thicker (visually widening the view). When we bring it to the outer corner of the eye, then the "tail" bend upward to the length of the eyelashes (beyond the length of the eyelashes do not wind).
- We lower the lower eyelid from the outer corner to the middle of the eye.
Tip: do not apply pressure to the pencil, let the arrow be slightly greased, not as clear as the top.
- We paint eyelashes 3 times, but after each we wait until the carcass dries completely, otherwise there will be lumps. You can use overhead eyelashes at the corners of your eyes, but only if you can not boast of your own (if your eyelashes are good, then the overhead for everyday make-up will be superfluous).
- From the nose to the temple horizontally we put rouge. Then, in a circular motion, we paint the cheekbones.
- A characteristic accent for Japanese makeup - a sponge bow. In everyday make-up we achieve this as follows:
- we put lipstick on the center, not staining the edges and corners of the lips;
- we cover the lipstick with a transparent shine, stretch the lipstick with it to the lip contour.

Errors in technology
Pay attention to this image and remember how to paint it is not necessary!
In this case, the girl used all of the cosmetics listed above, but it did not do her right:
- Blush is not on cheekbones, but on cheeks;
- the arrows are drawn incorrectly: they are the same thickness along the entire line, there is no characteristic tail lifted upwards, at the outer corner of the eye;
- lips are too clearly delineated contour, they lack a smooth transition to the tone of the skin.

Japanese makeup "Big eyes", or Make-up anime
Trying to imitate the favorite heroes of anime cartoons, many girls like to make unnatural big eyes with the help of makeup. In general, it is suitable for unusual selfies, cosplay, etc.
In Japanese make-up for cosplay, false eyelashes are always used. Usually glue them not only on the upper, but also the eyelid. This makes the eyes unrealistically large, like Barbie's. Another feature is the unnatural bleaching of the face. If for everyday Japanese make-up we used a tone in several shades lighter than the color of your skin, then in this case choose the lightest of all possible. When we draw arrows, we must bear in mind one small trick - it is necessary to paint the borders of both the upper and lower eyelids. In this case, in the lower eyelid, apply the eyeliner not to the skin, but to the mucous membrane of the eye.

Make-up of a geisha, video lessons
Japanese geishas at all times had to have an ideal appearance. Beauty they directed specifically: they made the face white with the help of rice powder, painted lips in bright red color with the help of natural dyes, inked eyebrows and drew arrows in front of eyes in red or black.
Natural dyes in the modern image of a geisha are replaced with eyeliner, ink, white foundation or face paint, with red lipstick (without a contour pencil!).
