Prepping the skin before makeup
Thoroughly moisturizing the skin is extremely important. This is also the secret to prevent the foundation from “caking”.
In addition, don’t forget the step of using a primer as this product helps make your skin smooth and blur visible pores. The foundation on your skin will look natural and blend well with your bare skin.
Natural foundation
When choosing foundation, you need to choose a shade that matches your skin tone. You should use an adequate amount of foundation and not too thick to enhance the natural beauty of your skin. Also, don’t forget to use concealer to cover dark circles or some small wrinkles on your face. A small tip is to dab the concealer.
Blush
The minimalist Japanese makeup style focuses on highlighting the natural beauty already present on the face. Instead of contouring, Japanese women often use blush for the cheeks or under the eyes. The commonly used blush tones are pink or peach. Additionally, you can also try a “drunk blush” romantic style.
Natural eyebrows and eyes
Japanese people pay attention to filling in their eyebrows according to the natural shape. You can use an eyebrow kit to achieve a more natural and even color.
For the eyes, most Japanese people will use light brown eyeshadow to evenly distribute color on the eyelids and a slightly darker shade to accentuate the upper and lower lash lines. Additionally, you can add shimmer to make your eyes more sparkling.
Thick and curled eyelashes are also an essential part of natural Japanese makeup. Therefore, don’t forget to curl your lashes and apply mascara to have bigger, rounder, and more beautiful eyes!
Lipstick
Bright red and deep colors are rarely used in daily makeup as they prefer simple and gentle shades that lean towards femininity. You can choose nude lipsticks with a hint of orange or soft pink to brighten your face.
In addition, lip gloss with color is also a good choice to give your lips a plumped look. Also, the gradient lip technique will make you look youthful and adorable.
Gentle and eye-catching lipstick shades combined with the Japanese makeup style bring a gentle feeling like a poetic muse.
