Fresh and young: 5 makeup techniques for Japanese women

The makeup of Japanese girls is striking in its contrast - light “porcelain” skin, bright scarlet lips and dark eyelashes. But it is this kind of makeup that allows Japanese women to look fresh and young. And a 40-year-old woman may not be visually different from a 20-year-old girl. What's the secret?

Multi-stage cleansing

The skin of Japanese women looks perfectly smooth and clean, since they pay a lot of attention to cleansing, using several products at once - hydrophilic oil, micellar water, and facial wash. Purity, like perfection, has no limits.

Primers for face

Primers not only prepare the face for makeup, but also even out skin texture, smooth out pores and fill in fine wrinkles. It is important to take into account that the primer must meet the needs of the skin: for oily skin – mattifying, for dry – moisturizing.

Pearlescent shadows

And only them! Japanese women do not use matte shadows, but apply pearlescent, nude shades to the entire moving eyelid. And the lower eyelid is lightly marked with a pencil. This type of makeup makes the eyes appear large and slightly swollen, which in Japan is associated with childish purity and naivety.

False eyelashes

Japanese women love to increase the volume of their eyelashes with false eyelashes, even if it looks a little artificial. They also associate fluffy eyelashes with childishness. If you don't like false eyelashes, you can replace them with two or three coats of quality mascara.

"Kissed Lips"

This technique is very popular in Japan. For the effect of kissed lips, you will need lipstick (or gloss) in a nude shade. You can apply the product slightly carelessly - either only in the middle of the lips, or lightly smearing it. This will make your lips look voluminous and moist, like a teenager's.

In short, Japanese women’s makeup implies an indispensable emphasis on youth, tenderness and purity. Natural tones and clear skin make the look fresher.
