 Tender shining skin is one of the attractive features in
Japanese women appreciated today and centuries ago. On the background of the
white face big eyes and bright sensible lips are very expressive. And thus,
these three features make the base of the makeup in Japanese style.
Japanese-styled makeup is appropriate for the costume party
and creative photo shooting. Knowing the base features of Japanese-styled
makeup technology an impressive, magic and unforgettable image, whether that of
the Japanese geisha or a modest chaste hero of the Japanese legends. The
Japanese-styled makeup unlike other makeup tendencies looks impressive for
tanned girls and light-skinned beauties.
Actually, Japanese women prefer staying away from sun from
the early age since they do not feel lose the traditionalporcelain and dol-like
appearance, in spite of any sub-cultures that appeared in Japan with very
tanned skin.
The base of the Japanese-styled makeup is the absolute
blameless light and smooth face tint that is like the porcelain. With the
purpose to have the effect of the porcelain effect of the skin the foundation
should be chosen with the special concern, which is the best to be the toner of
light texture. A light hue powder is applied over the foundation. Both toner
and the powder should be a tint lighter than the natural skin type. The lighter
foundation commits to having a porcelain face better, though such face will
look unnatural. However, when the scene makeup is required, the lightest shades
of the foundation are the best to choose.
Anyway, the matte or white base is difficult to achieve for
most Japanese since they have yellowish complexion to use the foundation that is
light-green in color to apply under the proper shade of foundation, whether it
is for normal or dry skin. The textures mix and give the appropriate color. If you enjoy your complexion, you
may ignore the green color base and use a quality foundation of better texture
to match the neck and ears, yet, to avoid looking too phony and ridiculous.
The second
important stage in creating Japanese-styled makeup by yourself is eye makeup.
With the purpose to resemble the Japanese women to higher extent, the effect of
slanting eyes should be considered, when the shape of eyes is changed with the
stroke of an eyeliner or eye pencil. The Japanese-styled makeup does not
require much eye shadow to apply and thus, eyeliner is the most critical tool
in here of the exclusive black color. The lightest slant is given to eyes when
the cat’s eye id drawn with a think eyeliner. Eye-shadow is applied only to the
outer corner of the upper lid or not us data all.
The cat’s eye made with a black eyeliner to the upper lid
goes slightly off the outer corner of the eye curving upward a little bit to
cause the effect of the Oriental beauty making eyes longer and the look –
mysterious and enigmatic. Eye brows need to pay more through attention, be thin
and straight. Though, a slight curve is good with eye brows to ensure a special
expressiveness. When the eye brows are light, the curve should be highlighted.
The ideal shape for eye brows is the half-moon, even and ideal.
Mascara is not absolutely used in Japanese-styled makeup
when the expressive, deep and seductive eyes are the most crucial in the
makeup. Sometimes the red eye shadow is applied to the middle area of the upper
lid and the outer corner of eyes.
Japanese-styled makeup accentuates on the lips and
traditionally the makeup is distinguished with the vivid and juicy tints. However,
the Japanese women do not feel like experimenting with shades preferring
traditional scarlet-red color for lips, the attribute of the modern vamp-woman.
Also the rich and fruity poppy red or raspberry pink is allowed. A lipstick can
be classic matte or as a lip gloss. With the help of special technique the
shape of lips can be accentuated and made as the Cupid’s bow.
The final stroke when making Japanese-styled makeup is
rouge. Tender pink color is the best to create the image of a tempting Japanese
woman with the perfect tender porcelain skin. Even the lightest shade is
noticed on the white background and, thus, the appropriate tint should be chose
properly.
