Japanese makeup - from a geisha to anime

Japanese make-up penetrated into the European fashion from countries where historically tanned skin was considered a sign of low origin. It was believed that if a woman is swarthy, then she works a lot in the rice fields. Therefore perfection was considered a snow-white, frosty face of one that for days on end could be protected by a fan, a stretcher and roofs of palaces.

And these concepts of beauty are reflected in modern Japanese makeup. It is believed that there are three ways to apply makeup in Japanese: in anime style, in the style of a geisha and everyday, which can be safely worn both in the office and at evening events.

Note that the anime-make-up is more suitable for teenagers, as it includes acid colors and tattoos. In some cases in this make-up there are "eyes" drawn over the eyelids, and other "gadgets". And in the image of a geisha, you can appear in costume parties or a date, because he assumes a white face mask with black and scarlet shadows and brightly drawn lips. Almost always in this version of the makeup, there are artificially high-drawn eyebrows in the form of a straight line, which are located close enough to each other, sometimes closing.

Before applying the Japanese makeup, you can use at home a tool that has glorified the faces of the women of this country to the whole world. To do this, take rice bran, put them in a bag, which after a light hydration, rub face and body. With the constant use of this remedy, your skin will be able to acquire the "porcelain" effect, which is so appreciated in the country of the rising sun.

The same result, however, can be achieved with the help of modern tonal remedies, if you take the basis for make-up at 1-2 tone lighter than your own skin tone. It is important to carefully blend out the contours so that the difference between the colors of the cream and face, ears, and neck would not be too noticeable. A light, even tone of a face is one of the basic principles, the observance of which requires Japanese make-up.

Another principle is the use of pink, crimson or scarlet tones for the lips. Whether it is matte or shiny is not so important. The main thing is to make the outline clear, and the lips look neat. This rule came from the image of a geisha, where the mouth was visually reduced and gave it any shape with a light contour.

The Japanese eye make-up begins with light shadows, on top of which the black eyeliner is applied to the upper eyelid. Its line should fall down at the inner corner of the eye, smoothly bend the line of the eyelid and slightly rise above the outer corner. On the center of the upper eyelid, pinkish shadows can be applied, and on the eyelashes - one layer of carcass, in order to "open" the eyes. The lower eyelid is usually underlined by gray podvodkoj, and cilia on it can not be painted in general.

The Japanese make-up, the photo of which is presented in our article, is completed with the help of delicate pink blush, which effectively look at the matte, light skin. Eyebrows in the embodiment of such an image should be emphasized with a black or brown pencil.
