Forget the Status-Quo<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Today, we\u2019re at Matsuya, where I\u2019m going to be interviewing Chika while demonstrating some makeup techniques. Do you have any concerns about using makeup on a daily basis? <\/p>\n

Chika\u3000<\/strong>Yes, so many. My pores and blemishes really bother me, and my face is definitely not symmetrical. I\u2019m also insecure about my wide nose and shape of my lips. <\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Wow, that\u2019s a lot. <\/p>\n

Chika\u3000<\/strong>I know, but women that have such complexities are often much more alluring. I feel like it\u2019s alright to have insecurities, so long as I am living purely and earnestly. <\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>I understand what you\u2019re saying, but it\u2019s good to think about overcoming these issues. Once you let natural processes and imperfections bother you, it\u2019s hard to see how special you are. The important thing is to learn how to love yourself regardless of what comes your way. <\/p>\n

Chika\u3000<\/strong>Self-love is the solution?<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Self-acceptance.  You have to learn to embrace yourself and recognize that beauty standards are entirely fabricated ideas. If you pay too much attention to them, then you lose sight of all of your unique qualities.<\/p>\n

Chika\u3000<\/strong>I think everyone feels victimized by beauty standards. <\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Well, no one\u2019s face is completely symmetrical. You can make it look more aligned with makeup tricks. It\u2019s important to know though that imperfections add to your character and appeal. <\/p>\n

Chika\u3000<\/strong>I know. I need to get over it!<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>It\u2019s the same thing with aging. If you try to deny it and hide yourself behind layers of makeup, you end up looking like you\u2019re wearing a mask, and you end up just feeling horrible. You may not notice it, but every day is a new day with many changes. Every five years or so, these personal and physical evolutions become more apparent to us. You need to look at yourself with a fresh eye every now and again, accept these changes, and have fun with it.<\/p>\n\n\n

Red-y To Explore<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Uneven skin becomes more prominent with age. Some people believe this to be a negative thing. <\/p>\n

Chika\u3000<\/strong>I generally hide all of my imperfections with concealer before applying more makeup. <\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Instead of thinking of imperfections as things that should be hidden, I focus on trying to enhance them. It\u2019s good to take advantage of what you\u2019ve been given! For instance, if your lips are a little darker in color, just add a hint of red for more wine colored lips. <\/p>\n

Chika\u3000<\/strong>Although I love the colors, I never use red or bordeaux shades on my lips. I love Christian Louboutin\u2019s<\/a> red, it\u2019s such a gorgeous color.  <\/p>\n\n\n

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

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Did you know that deep-red is made through an aging process? <\/p>\n

Chika\u3000<\/strong>That must be why the color has such a grown-up appeal.<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>A lot of people will put on concealers and then apply color, but that approach can make you look way too heavily made up. It\u2019s better to apply color to your natural skin shade and let that come through. It\u2019s much sexier. For example, your eyelids are a little red, so I’m going to put reddish gold on your eyes to compliment your natural coloring. <\/p>\n

Chika\u3000<\/strong>Will that work well on my flat eyes? <\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Don\u2019t worry, if you use a soft brush, then it looks very natural. You just use a hint of color then blend it in. When it comes to eye makeup, it\u2019s all about the brush that you use. For example, applying a hard brush close to your lashes helps enhance definition. It\u2019s an easy trick that makes a big difference! Now, moving on to your lips…<\/p>\n\n\n

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

Chika\u3000<\/strong>I\u2019ve hated my lips ever since I was little. I only use more neutral colors because of it. Right now, I love Christian Louboutin\u2019s Loubilaque gloss<\/a> in beige shades. <\/p>\n\n\n

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

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>That\u2019s a great color. Would you mind trying red today? We won\u2019t make it look too harsh. <\/p>\n\n\n

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

Chika\u3000<\/strong>Sure. I\u2019ve tried it many times, but only in the privacy of my home. I want to make it work because it\u2019s so trendy, but it never looks good on me. Can I tell you if I don\u2019t like it? <\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Of course! This one by Saint Laurent<\/a> is very sheer. It\u2019s more like a lip stain because of its watery base. It will blend in really naturally with your lip color if you apply a little on the top and bottom lips and blend with an eyeshadow brush. <\/p>\n\n\n

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

Chika\u3000<\/strong>I\u2019ve never heard of this technique before, but it does make my lips look really healthy and full without being overly dramatic. <\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Now, you just put some shiny gloss on top, and it looks like you have baby lips!<\/p>\n

Chika\u3000<\/strong>Ah, I love it! Thank you so much!<\/p>\n\n\n

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

Keep It Simple and Sweet<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Chika\u3000<\/strong>I don\u2019t normally use these colors, but I really like what you\u2019ve done with them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>That\u2019s because I\u2019m applying them quite sheerly, so they look more natural.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chika\u3000<\/strong>I didn\u2019t know all of these would look good on me. Do you ever do shading or contouring?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>No, I prefer a skin\u2019s natural luminosity. That way, when the light hits your face, highlights are organically created. When you create gradation with makeup, it can look very obviously constructed and drawn on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chika\u3000<\/strong>Ah, I see. I normally can only see myself straight on, so it\u2019s good to think about the side angles as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>People see you not only from the front, but also the sides and top of your head. It\u2019s good to double check how you look from all angles. I really love your hair cut.\u00a0 It frames your face quite nicely.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chika<\/strong>\u3000Thank you, I\u2019m really into my hair! I have a close relationship with my stylist.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>You know what looks good on you.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chika<\/strong>\u3000Oh, thank you.<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Don\u2019t overdo your makeup! I cannot emphasize enough how a little goes a long way\u2014aim for more sheer and natural looks. You don\u2019t want to look too heavily made up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chika\u3000<\/strong>Your makeover today was an eye opener. I feel like I\u2019ve learned so many new techniques, and really understand why I need to be more self-accepting. My outlook on beauty has definitely shifted a bit.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
