Dropping the Base<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Yasuo Yoshikawa\u3000<\/strong>As a middle school teacher, do you normally wear makeup to work?<\/p>\n

H\u3000<\/strong>I wear sunscreen, lip color, eye shadow, and brow shadow. I eliminated foundation from my routine because it stressed out my skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Well, you have beautiful skin, so whatever you\u2019re doing works! How did you come to realize that?<\/p>\n

H\u3000<\/strong>For starters, foundation coverage doesn\u2019t last all day. And honestly, my students would make fun of me because it looked like I was wearing a mask or something. \u3000<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Wearing foundation makes most people look older, even kids. My daughter also made this mistake when she was in middle school. It\u2019s a natural time for girls to start growing an interest in makeup. \u3000<\/p>\n

H<\/strong>\u3000I think you have to have good techniques in order for it to look natural.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Not particularly. It\u2019s more that most people just wear too much. A lot of Japanese women believe that you have to wear foundation, but that\u2019s absolutely not true. If you have good skin, base makeup isn\u2019t entirely necessary.<\/p>\n

H<\/strong>\u3000Japanese beauty styles really emphasize the importance of base makeup.\u3000<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Yes, many Japanese cosmetic companies preach that idea. But it\u2019s wrong, because your skin doesn\u2019t need it! So many young women falsely believe that they need it when their natural skin actually looks much better.<\/p>\n

H<\/strong>\u3000I agree. I often feel uncomfortable when visiting makeup counters. The saleswomen look at me as if I\u2019m doing something wrong by not wearing foundation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Yes, because once you start wearing base makeup, you feel as though you can\u2019t go on without it. I think women should only wear it once they develop uneven skin and\/or blemishes and wear it quite minimally. It helps you look more youthful that way. I also noticed that the skin on your face beautifully matches that of your neck. It can be hard to maintain that look because the face often gets much more sun exposure. Looks like using sunscreen really pays off!<\/p>\n

H\u3000<\/strong>There is this really great supplement that acts as a sunscreen. I take it mainly when I know I\u2019ll be outside for long periods of time, like during school sports activity season.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Eyes Are the Window to The Soul<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

H<\/strong>\u3000Although I\u2019ve now outgrown it, I used to be very insecure about my slit eyes.<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>I once asked my readers what their greatest insecurity is, and \u201cslit eyes\u201d topped the list. It\u2019s not easy to shake these feelings when magazines and cosmetic companies constantly promote ideas about enlarging your eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

H<\/strong>\u3000I know, I rarely ever seen any makeup tutorials on how to apply makeup to smaller eyes.<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>We need to look at all eyes as beautiful in their own way. No one is born thinking that they\u2019re ugly, it\u2019s only when people start judging one another that self-doubt begins to grow.<\/p>\n

H\u3000<\/strong>Absolutely. Things got better for me when I began focusing less on my eyes, and more on my skin care regimen. Now, I feel great about my skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>As a schoolteacher, do you have time to pay attention to your makeup throughout the day?\u00a0<\/p>\n

H<\/strong>\u3000Not really\u2014I don\u2019t even have a lunch break. I normally eat with my students, and after that, I get ready for more class. Dealing with the students can sometimes be very intense, and while I am disciplining them, I can feel my makeup coming completely undone. Around 4pm, things settle down a little, and I\u2019ll often go to the bathroom for some peace and quiet. I\u2019ll re-apply my lipstick, which helps to ground me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Do your kids ever notice your makeup?\u00a0<\/p>\n

H<\/strong>\u3000They comment on my eyeshadow colors and what not. They love to scrutinize me, boys and girls alike. I strive to be put together because I want to be a role model for them.<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Middle school is a touchy time for children. They\u2019re going through puberty and all of these sudden changes that make them feel insecure. So, I think it is nice to be able to be an inspiration for them.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Self Confidence Is Sexy!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

H<\/strong>\u3000People often ask me if I maintain my beauty routine because I want to get men\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Well, I think it\u2019s human nature to want to be attractive.\u00a0<\/p>\n

H<\/strong>\u3000I think so too. There\u2019s nothing wrong with that, I think people are just embarrassed to admit it.<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Especially during puberty.<\/p>\n

H<\/strong>\u3000Well, I think older people want to be attractive too, whether they admit it or not.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Everyone wants to look and feel good. But what we lose in looks, we gain in experience. Life is challenging. I\u2019m constantly praising myself in an effort to keep my spirits high.<\/p>\n

H\u3000<\/strong>Very few kids have high self-esteem these days. I once had my students take a test that measured self-confidence, and before taking it, boys and girls alike asked me if having self-confidence equated to narcissism. For some reason, they find it to be embarrassing. I was really shocked by their responses because I consider self-empowerment to be absolutely vital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>We shouldn\u2019t view self-confidence as egoism. A bit of self-love is healthy. There\u2019s nothing wrong with wanting to be desired.<\/p>\n

H\u3000<\/strong>You have to take care of yourself and solve your own problems in order to enjoy life. Low self-esteem can lead to boundary issues and can cause someone to be needy or demanding.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Absolutely. Self-care is at the core of independence.<\/p>\n

H<\/strong>\u3000Some people might see self-support as superficial, but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s true. Taking care of your own needs ultimately allows you to be more available for others.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Listen and Learn<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Do your students ever ask you for advice that extends beyond the classroom?<\/p>\n

H<\/strong>\u3000Yes, of course.<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>What do you do when you\u2019re unsure how to answer a problem?<\/p>\n

H<\/strong>\u3000I always try to be a good listener, and let the student know that they are important and that they matter. Even if I can\u2019t solve their issue, I can always listen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Everyone has problems, and it\u2019s easy to feel isolated in them. But letting someone know they\u2019re not alone can help alleviate those feelings. Sometimes, teaching them coping mechanisms or simply listening are the most important things. I\u2019m sure your outlook on self-care inspires your students.<\/p>\n

H<\/strong>\u3000Some people might consider my skin-care regimen to be superficial, but that\u2019s my business only. It\u2019s my self-care!<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>People should definitely do what\u2019s best for themselves and not worry so much about other people\u2019s habits. What products do you use for your skin care routine?<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

H<\/strong>\u3000I have dry skin, so I use Albion\u2019s moisturizing lotion.<\/a> I put it on in the morning and it keeps my skin soft and nourished all day. During the spring and summer seasons, I use Exage White White Rinse Milk lll<\/a>.\u00a0 In winter, I opt for a thicker cream, Excia Embeage Milk.<\/a> \u00a0 I also use a wonderful sunscreen supplement that my aesthetician recommended to me. It helps get rid of all of my blemishes. I truly cannot live without it!<\/p>\n
