Phew! That was a long title! I'm back with a new tutorial and I'm loving this look! I'm a big fan of Visual Kei music and I love the clothes and makeup that go with it! or all ye unknowing; Visual kei is a J-rock, music movement/ sub culture started in Japan, that uses a lot of makeup and weird elaborate clothes usually on androgynous guys.. And I LOVE IT! :D
Some of my favourite bands are The Gazette, Girugamesh and Dir En Grey.. So, when I got a request for this look I was jut like, "HELLS YES!"
This is what I came up with... No I did not shave my eyebrows although it does seem mandatory! LOL!
Here are the steps:
Step 1: Using a black eye pencil draw and fill in the lid area like shown below, make it so that i turned up and elongated. Also cover the outer third of the lower lid.
Step 2: Draw a guideline from the outer point of the black to the inside with a red shadow. Guidelines make life easier, always use them if you don't have a steady hand. :) Then fill it in. I use red because they use a lot of red or purple.. Of course, you can change it to any colour you want. :)
Step3: Pat on a black eye shadow onto the pencil and blend into the red, blend the red out too but only slightly. It should be soft but defined.
Step 4: Use a pearly white shadow to highlight under the brow bone, I kept the highlight intense under the arch while blending it elsewhere.
Step 5: Using a white pencil as base, fill the lower lashline till the black. Then cover it with a silver shadow.
Step 6: Add black eyeliner to the outer two thirds of the waterline and white to the inner. Add mascara and falsies, if you wish. And you're done!
Finish off with a nude lipstick and blush on the cheek bones.
Finished look:
The makeup I did though is a bit understated from the usual visual kei.. That gets a bit crazy sometimes. :D If you would like to see a more OTT look, let me know. :) I thought it would be better to do a more wearable look.
Will you be using this look? Will you use red or some other colour? :D And yes! I do take requests, so bring them on! For more tutorials, check out my tutorials page on the header bar. :)
Bye!
