Kumiko Funayama Inspired Makeup

Hello hello! =)

Long time no post ah, been enjoying my days without makeup XD
But anyways here's a new look I tried :D
A look inspired by 舟山久美子 Kumiko Funayama.... or Popteen models in general lol.


So let's take a look at this trend going on in the Popteen magazine :)
Here we rely heavily on the upper liner to get that puppy/tear drop eye, and using a lot of false lashes to frame/enlarge your eyes






*** this is not Kumiko! This is 菅野結以 Kanno Yui. But you get my point right? Most Popteen models are going for this look now lol!
**** I DO NOT OWN THESE IMAGES!!****


And let's start =D
Here's the map for eyeliner:



For this look I used very little eye shadow... to add more depth to the eye.
I applied some half way on the outer corner of lower line, and all over my lid.
I mixed "mad hatter" and "midnight tea party" from the Alice in Wonderland pallette.

I also very lightly rimmed my lower waterline with white eyeliner pencil, and applied white eye shadow on the inner tear duct of my eye.





Now onto the falsies =)



And tah-dah! =D

Super easy eh?! XD


For upper lashes, I used MAC #7 (love these!)
For lower lashes, I used Koji #14 (which are designed for lower lashes). I got these from e-Bay.


heart-shaped packaging is to die for >_<
I used these because I've had them for a while and been wanting to try them lol! But if you don't want the criss-cross lower lashes, you can also go for MAC #39 (which you have to ask for; at my local store they don't display them) or your other choices of lower lashes :D (I know Koji has a lot more variety of lower lashes... have yet to try them :P)

Now, these Koji lashes have rather rigid rims and it was impossible to just glue them on, so I cut them into 4 pieces. And I used a tweezer to put them on.











*wink* XD *kick fly*

And... you're done!!! =D

- For the rest of my face...
Makeup Forever HD Foundation

I used Benefit High Beam for highlight on my cheek bones and down my nose.

Select a very light pink for your blush to get that cute look. You can use MAC "well dressed" or NARS "desire" or other colors along that line. (I used well dressed cuz I don't have the NARS one!!! hahah. But the NARS one is even better in my opinion...)

I applied nude lip liner first then applied MAC Victorian lipstick, topping off with some Victoria Secret lipgloss in "Beautiful"


Now onto picture time!! .... XD











Where is my nose?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!? T^T





Hope you guys likeyyyy

Ayumi Hamasaki Inspired Makeup

Hello~~!!
Today's makeup is inspired by Ayumi Hamasaki <3




Here's the picture I was basing off :) forgot where I across this from...


This makeup is super easy... the key of course, will be the lashes and eyeliner :)

Here's the map:

Make sure the outer corner is pointed and clean

So most of us don't look straight up while lining our eyes, like I tend to squint a bit, exactly like the pic above XD
If your eye is like mine, make sure when you're looking straight at the mirror when you're lining so that your eyeliner looks exactly like what you want (cuz I found when I don't look straight, the outer corner tends to look more like a cat-eye flick, so I had to look straight and fill the outer corner in so it looks like Ayu's).


And for lashes I used...
upper lashes:

lower lashes:

And if you look closely at Ayu's pic... she has dark grey/brown-ish eye shadow along her lower lash line
So I mixed a dark grey (don't use black!!!) with some reddish brown


And I couldn't see what color she was wearing on her lid... so I'm just gonna leave it clean XD






Kissing the wall?!?? O_O  LMAO!!

Just gonna put my pic and her pic side to side... :) heehee. Well my fold is not like hers obviously











**************I have to say though... this kind of Japanese makeup (the lashes mainly) only looks good in pictures in my opinion.......... too much for real life!!!! Not cute, really... lol! Well not on my anyway***********

And I figured since this post is already picture heavy... just gonna add the rest of the extras XD


*SMILE ^__^ *







I know I know all the same side of my face O_O I swear I don't discriminate against the other side of my face lol!

Hope you guys likey <3
