Japanese Goth inspired makeup

Hi all...decided i really like the photo tutorials, so even though this isn't really a color look (well i guess it is a little...) I had to show it anyway since it's completely different than the other tutorial. i'm not one of those people who does my makeup the same everday...even down to the foundation can be different. like today i mixed my rimmel 25 hr wear foundation with moisturizer for a lighter coverage since the look shows pasty perfect skin ;)

here is a combo of the looks i'm trying to achieve...


Now lets start off with highlight and contour. Next is a light and dark NYX jumbo pencil and smoothed out with a foundation brush (i didn't show the smoothing today...in previous post)








Next I chose a peach from the 28 neutral palette and a dark graphite shimmer from the Coastal Scents smokey palette...













 The peach as a crease wash while the graphite was a lid color in a winged out shape. i generously lined upper and lower lash lines and winged out the top and added extra definition with the liner in the outer edges. i added a tad bit of brow highlight as well in a matte off white. now lets clean up the powder mess and move onto polishing the look...





 i don't even know the name of the brush i use to sweep away powder and lay down facial hairs...but it's pretty awesome!! next I added two coats of greatlash and one coat of thickening NYC mascara for va va voom lashes...onto brows, cheeks and finally lips!











 The brow kit is love and beauty brand from Forever 21 (same the highlighter used above)...i went light on the brows today and not too long as i usually do, however if i just left my brows natural as the japanese do, trust me when i say they look like tangled eyebrow hairs and looks even less flattering for the look ;). the cheek color you are seeing my no name costco brand blush i've had for a LONG time (i'm talking since middle school) and its the 1940's technicolor peach that i love!!! and don 't worry, powders never bad, my makeup teacher claimed she had shadows 20 yrs old! anyway....next was lips and i used the unfortgettable moments red palette again but this time i chose the cherry red and just applied generously with no gloss or lip lining. Voila!!
