Greetings everyone
I've been asked lots of questions about Akagi Aya's daily doll make-up routine so today I'm going to teach you!
This is a deluxe version of the latest popular makeup recipes.
I change the angle and area of my eyeliner and the area around my lower eyelid depending on the day, and I use different makeup products depending on the season, but I'm currently fond of my makeup look, so I'd like to introduce it to you.
By the way, I have combination skin, fair skin tone, 1st is blue-based summer, 2nd is yellow-based autumn, and pale skin!
I hope this is helpful to everyone ^^
1. Base makeup
Apply generously to nose and T-zone with your fingers.
・NARS Radiance Primer SPF35/PA+++ 30mL
I apply it under my eyes, on my cheeks and on my chin only when my skin feels dry.
・Shiseido Maquillage Dramatic Skin Sensor Base NEO Lavender 25mL (base)
Put a small amount on your face and blend it into the center of your face with your fingers. Do not apply to the jawline.
During seasons when you don't sweat much, it may be fine to only apply it to the areas that tend to get shiny.
I use it instead of foundation.
Again, apply a small amount to the entire face except along the jawline using your fingers.
・[Up to 400 yen off coupon available] NARS Light Reflecting Foundation 30ml, selectable colors 02162
I only use it when I want to put on heavy eye makeup.
It spreads quite easily, so just rub off the small amount of liquid that is on the lid with your fingertips, apply it only around your mouth and nose, and blend it in with your fingers.
I make sure to apply just a little to create thickness in the center of my face.
・TIRTIR MASK FIT ALL-COVER DUAL CONCEALER 01 (1 piece) [TIRTIR] #01 Natural
Apply a small amount to dark circles under your eyes, corners of your mouth, and sides of your nose, then blend with your fingers.
It spreads quite well, so a small amount is fine.
I also blend the concealer I put under my eyes onto my cheeks.
(This is perfect for hiding dark circles under your eyes, but I think a blue or lighter concealer would work better on the sides of your nose and the corners of your mouth.)
・[Mail order available] NARS Soft Matte Advanced Perfecting Powder 9g #03122 CLIFF 03122
Take some with a large brush and apply firmly to the entire eye area.
It gives a pretty matte finish.
It's magic powder *・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・'(*゚▽゚*)'・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*
❷ Cheek
・CEZANNE 14 Lavender Pink
Use a large brush to apply in a horizontal direction from the side of the nose outwards.
It makes your skin look healthy from within.
・Les Merveilleuses Ladurée Pressed Cheek Color N 12 Cramoisi
I apply a light layer to the outer cheeks, nose, and chin.
The gradation creates a translucent, healthy glow, making the face look more doll-like.
❸ Nose shadow
Mix the darkest and medium colors and apply in lines to the nostrils and the hollows of the eyes.
❹Shading
・CEZANNE Natural Matte Shading 02 Cool Tone / CEZANNE
Connect the nose shadow you drew earlier to the wings of the nostrils and the hollows of the eyes, blending them.
For the face line, apply a thicker layer around the jawline and the tip of the chin, then apply a thin layer to connect the areas.
❺Highlights
・CEZANNE Pearl Glow Highlight 01 Champagne Beige (2.4g) [CEZANNE]
Take a small amount in your hands, apply to the tip and bridge of your nose, and blend with a brush. Then use the brush to apply from the inner corner of your eye downwards.
Apply to the M-shaped area of your lips as well.
(I recently switched to MAC Mineralize Skin Finish ^^)
6. Lip
・KATE Lip Monster (110, 111, 112) 112 Midnight Reward
This is the base color. It's a dark red with a strong brown tint. Apply it thoroughly and wipe it off with a tissue.
・KATE Lip Monster 06 2:00AM (3.0g) [KATE]
Next, apply this color firmly and wipe it off with a tissue.
It is a deep red color with a bluish tint.
Next, use a lip brush to wipe the color off your lips and apply it over your lips.
Draw an M-shaped lip that is neither too deep nor too angular, and widen it out while being conscious of the right amount of roundness and thickness so that the overall shape is like an oval.
・M.A.C MACXIMAL SILKY MATTE LIPSTICK Lipstick 603 DIVA
Apply this color only to the center of your lips and then wipe it off with a tissue. If you apply it alone or too much, it will have a strong pink tone.
・JILL STUART Crystal Bloom Lip Bouquet Serum 6ml #07 violet grape
If you want to make your lips even darker, just apply this shade only to the areas where you want to darken your lips, and pat it in to blend.
7. Eye makeup
・CANMAKE 3way Slim Shade Liner 02 / CANMAKE
Trace the lines of your under-eye bags. Don't make it too dark, and blend out the dark areas with your finger.
Apply a thicker coat to the double eyelid and spread it over the entire upper eyelid.
On my days off, I just apply this to both my upper and lower eyelids to keep it looking natural.
・KATE The Eye Color 067 (1.4g) [KATE]
Take some with a brush and apply it to the lower eyelid from the outer corner to the inner corner. Later, apply more to the center.
・Creamy Touch Liner 04/CANMAKE Garnet Burgundy
Relax your hands and apply a thin line to the edge of your lower eyelid. It's like applying eye makeup around the eye.
・M.A.C Connect In Color Eyeshadow Palette x 6 Inscribed Kryptonite
Use a brush to take the leftmost color in the second row of the palette just on the outer corner of the eye, following the line you drew earlier, and lightly blend it.
8. Eyeliner
・CANMAKE Creamy Touch Liner 02/CANMAKE Medium Brown
Keeping in mind the eyes are long and narrow, draw an incision line toward the center of the face in an L shape, extending slightly beyond the inner corner of the eye.
・CANMAKE Lasting Liquid Liner 02 / CANMAKE Bitter Chocolate Brown
Add a little more to emphasize the sharpness of the incision line.
・Kanebo Media Lasting Eyeliner A BK-1 (dark black)
Apply black eyeliner only to the outer corners of your eyes.
Since my eyes tend to be droopy, I draw the line down along the bone and then flip it up at the end.
To accentuate the languid look, apply eyeliner only to the inner and outer corners of the eyes, not on or around the pupil.
❾ Eyelashes
・KATE Lash Former (Clear) CL-1 Clear Black Mascara Kate Kanebo
I've been using this for years because it absolutely does not give in to humidity. I also apply it generously to my lower lashes.
・[D-UP] Mascara / D-UP Perfect Extension Mascara Black [Waterproof, can be removed with warm water]
Apply the mascara thoroughly from the roots to the tips. The bottom lashes are very important, so apply the mascara thoroughly and also to the tips to add length.
This product balances the hairiness and bulkiness of the strands, so I love using it.
・Tomei Lower Eyelash Liar Liner TT04 False Brown
If you apply the lashes thinly and without using any force to your hands, you will achieve a natural, fluttery look.
There are many tools used to achieve a matte finish and a healthy glow, but the trick to Akagi Bunryu's doll makeup is to use them in parts, and to create a natural look without overdoing it ^^
To balance your face, apply your colors in the following order: lips, cheeks, eyeshadow!
❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎
*I usually use Majori Majorca eyelash serum and Lash Addict eyelash serum, and get my eyelashes permed between CD curls.
I recommend it because it's a quick way to get doll-like eyelashes!
Use the curler to firmly pinch your lower eyelashes so that they form a right angle.
*My eyebrows were ordered at an eyebrow salon to be parallel, thin, and slightly angled.
My eyebrows are drawn in Media W Eyebrow in light brown and then painted with KATE 3D Eyebrow Color [Natural].
My bangs are heavy and blunt so you can't see them ♡
*I don't wear colored contact lenses, so I'm sorry I can't recommend any (;_;)
*Before applying makeup, moisturize with Melano CC lotion and milk and VT CICA Daily Soothing Mask, then lightly massage and drain the lymph.
I always use ReFa CARAT and Yaman MediLift! (Although both have been acting up lately though (;_;))
❤︎This photo shows the doll with the above doll makeup applied❤︎
My hobby is beauty, so I would like to talk about skin care, hair care, body care, dieting, and perfume ❤︎
I find it annoying that not only me, but all women in general, are mistakenly thought to be able to achieve anything just by putting on makeup.
I know better than anyone that it is the accumulation of unimaginable daily efforts that make women extraordinarily beautiful.
I often witness people belittling and disregarding the beauty of women, or exploiting them as if they were something to take for granted, so I hope that through my writing I can put an end to this, even if only to a part of it.
Aside from the comments about my appearance, it's painful to see such things clearly underlying the compliments.
I don't want to say words that start with "women" or "men," and there are some things we'll never understand until we die, but I feel we need to be a little more considerate in understanding and respecting each other's good parts.
It's also sad that the whole thing is deemed to be like that because of the opinion of the majority.
I've talked a lot about makeup, but appearance is the most external aspect of one's personality, so I believe that good facial features, which are different from charm or facial expressions, are the greatest form of beauty.
Some people feel happy when they are beautiful, but there are also those who believe that being beautiful does not necessarily make you happy.
I think it depends on why you want to be beautiful.
It went from being a way to overcome my complexes and increase my commercial value to becoming a hobby that is just for me.
I hope that my personal enjoyment will not be taken advantage of or tainted by anyone else.
I believe that lying is a deception against beauty, so let's live and die by putting on the makeup we like, wearing the clothes we like, being the person we like, and being true to ourselves and to those around us.
