Make up for the every day Japanophile

Guess, what! Today I decided that it would be Make-Up Mondays~ yup, which means you get to see me do make upy things.

To start off, brushing your teeth as often as you change underwear. if you don't enjoy feeling clean then you obviously don't like feeling beautiful. My faavorite toothpaste is cinnamon flavor

Aside from brushing your teeth, you should clean your face. I am not a fan of washing with water every day, so I use moisturizing cleansing pads, as it gets more off and it is more gentle on the skin in the long run. Since I also have uneven and blotchy red skin, so the cleansing pads I use works as a blemish eraser and a toner. You want to be clean for the new day, and remain fresh feeling. just as you would not wear your old dead skin cells and dirt, you would not go out with dirty teeth or dirty underwear.

[I mean.... would you wear your underwear or smile if it were as dirty as your face???]

As I mentioned, my face is red and blotchy, but I know a way around that. I use mint green liquid concealer [I hiss at the stick NYC brand. It is gross and it makes your face all caked] on the red spots and dark spots on my face

I dab a little everywhere, where it might be red and around my eyes. You can't see it but I also dabbed a little highlighting concealer that brightens around the eye area. After blending it on my skin, my skin becomes more even and prettier to look at [even if... like... its slightly green ^^;]

WOO CLEAR SKIN!!!!


I love choosing foundations, but what I hate is being so pale. Even if people love it, I can never find my correct foundation. So I use the lightest foundation at the drug store, and mix it with white Hallow-e'en make up. I don't use too much of the white because it would be way way way too white and the Hallow-e'en make up. I also use the blackest of black eyeliner on my eyes, under my lash-lines. It makes your eyelashes look thicker if you wear mascara or if you put on fake eyelashes. I also darken my eyebrows, since my eyebrows are blond [my natural hair colour.] Placing a apricot or a light brown sugar colour blush on your cheeks will enhance the Asian look on you, as those colours are popular in Japan and Korea at the moment.

To finish I apply on a kabuki brush NYC loose setting powder. I can not live without this stuff. Be it for costume make up or for every day wear, this will help make your make up last at least 4 hours to 7 hours longer, depending on how much you sweat. There's nothing worse than a melted wax looking face.

[My black contacts with -6 corrective lens. They are from Geo. The pair cost me 35~~ in Montreal Chinatown. Darker eyes make one look more Asian I fine, especially the bigger lens, so for every day, or for costume, I would definitely say invest in a pair or two, as you can get prescription or non prescription for virtually nothing, compared to designer brands from America]

[These eyelashes I bought in Montreal Chinatown for 2 dollars. They are flexible and easily cut with no-shed. Being a black strip they can be reused easily and washed easily. They sell many others, even in clear strip. The singles can go up to as expensive as 12~20 dollars. It makes me cry because those lashes are so pretty.]

My eyes right after~~~ So pretty~~~

So all in all, dark eyelash line on the upper lids, peachy cheeks and dark iris' can make you look a bit more Asian, but results vary. Using Eyewinker glue can work, but it also depends on eye shape. We all don't have almond eyes or those beautiful eyelids of the orientals.

Be proud of who you are, and love yourself, no matter where your from~~
