Japanese makeup

It is always useful to experiment with the image, it helps to find the right image, both for a party and for everyday meetings. In this article, let's look at the Japanese makeup and the methods for doing it.

How to make a Japanese make-up in the style of anime?

This type of makeup is distinguished by some artificiality of the face, with a pincerity. The main emphasis of anime makeup is the eyes, which should be as expressive and large as possible. At the same time the skin looks slightly pale, without a natural blush, but very smooth and velvety. Performing Japanese make-up in the anime style also implies some correction of facial features: giving the nose a narrower shape, emphasizing cheekbones and lip contour. Let's consider step by step.

Japanese anime makeup - facial skin

If there are problem areas, redness, vascular network or rashes, you must carefully disguise them as a proofreader. After that, apply a tonal basis, suitable for the type of skin and about 1 tone lighter than the natural complexion . Complete the work by applying a thick enough layer of loose powder. As a result, the skin becomes dull and porcelain.

Correction of the nose and cheekbones

To simulate the shape of a face, a dark or bronze powder is suitable. It must be applied under the cheekbones, from the middle of the ear moving to the center of the cheek, and also along the sides of the nose. After shading, the face will have clearly defined boundaries, the chin will visually decrease. In addition, the nose will appear small and thin.

Japanese makeup anime - big eyes

This, perhaps, is the most time consuming part of the make-up:

1. The upper eyelid is covered with beige shades or light powder, it is good to shade.
2. Lower eyelid outline a thick line with white or other very light shadows (pencil).
3. In the upper eyelid, carefully draw an arrow along the line of growth of the eyelashes, starting it just below the inner corner of the eye and ending beyond the outer edge. The end of the arrow should be raised upward, to the eyebrow.
4. The lower eyelid should also be circled with an arrow, only it should be located below the line of growth of the eyelashes, under a light stroke.
5. The ends of the arrows should be connected by means of dark shadows or feathering with a black pencil.
6. Eyelashes must be either very abundantly dyed with mascara, or attach a few layers of false hair.
7. Eyebrows should be carefully drawn in pencil, give them a clear shape.

It is worth noting that the makeup for the girl in the anime style is suitable not only for thematic parties and photography. It can be modified for everyday activities. To do this, abandon the arrow in the lower eyelid, and leave it only on top.
