Every Japanese woman has one amazing thingfeature - her makeup. White porcelain skin, black eyes and red lips - these are the three "whales" on which Japanese makeup is based. Japanese women are so attractive that this opinion has not changed for over a hundred years. There are several types of Japanese makeup: geisha style - this makeup is suitable for a costume party, anime style - it is most suitable for young girls (14-17 years old) and everyday. In order to learn how to apply Japanese makeup, you need to know the three main stages.
Selecting the tone
Japanese style makeup has the main"highlight" - a light complexion. Moreover, Japanese women are not distinguished by light skin by nature - they are, for the most part, dark-skinned. Nevertheless, it is a snow-white face that is an indicator of beauty for Japanese women - they try to achieve this in every possible way. Therefore, first you need to achieve the same effect. How to do this? Apply the foundation - foundation and powder in light shades. Before this, you can refresh your face with an ice cube. Just follow the rule: the foundation should not be more than two tones lighter than your own skin. Otherwise, the face will look unnatural.
Makeup for the eyes
Distinctive feature of Japanese women- these are slanted eyes. Of course, nothing can be done about it - well, you can't go for plastic surgery! But it is quite possible to imitate Japanese eyes with the help of decorative cosmetics. To do this, you need to use liquid eyeliner. First, apply light or pearlescent shadows, then draw a thin line along the upper eyelid with eyeliner. Feature: on the inner corner of the eye, the line should go down straight to the bridge of the nose, and on the outer corner, having gone down a little, sharply fly up. Now we move on to the lower eyelid. Here you need to use a gray or brown pencil (never black!) to draw a line strictly along the border of the eyelashes. Then shade it a little with a soft brush - the eye will seem narrower. Now you can paint your eyelashes - mascara is applied only to the upper eyelashes, and not heavily, but as if simply outlining them. With more mascara on the eyelashes, the eye becomes visually larger.
We paint lips
Now it's the lips' turn - they muststand out from the general background of the face, attract attention. It is necessary to draw a contour (this can be done with a special cosmetic pencil), this is especially true for owners of full lips. Lipstick is applied in scarlet, red, purple or brown. These are the tones that Japanese-style makeup “loves” the most. But here the lady’s age must be taken into account. Bright shades are perfect for young girls, but for very young girls who apply anime-style makeup - purple or dark brown. The very last touch is applying blush. Just use light pink tones for this and use a wide brush. Moreover, the blush should not stand out as a bright spot on the face - a barely noticeable shade is quite enough. Movement when applying: the hand goes from the cheekbone down to the chin, and with sweeping movements the blush is distributed on the cheeks.
Features of makeup in the style of "anime"
This particular type of Japanese makeupis easiest to do on a European face. To do this, you will need: a black eyeliner, light shadows, mascara and a white pencil. With such a set and at least the slightest idea of anime makeup, every woman can look like the heroes of Japanese cartoons. Make black arrows on the upper and lower eyelids, accentuate the inner corner with a white pencil, visually enlarge the eyes with light shadows. That's it, anime-style makeup is ready! Yes, lipstick - here you need to use only pink shades. Whatever makeup you decide to do - everyday, anime or geisha, stick to the classic rules for applying cosmetics and you will be satisfied with the result. The main thing is not to overdo it, so as not to look unnatural. We advise you to read:
