That way it will link your stunning eyes to the stunning yukata.
That way it will link your stunning eyes to the stunning yukata.
We will start with making up our eyes,
what can be easily said as being the most important point of makeup.
Your eyes are key.
We used KATE's "Metal Glamour Eyes" in RD - 1
to create deep and slightly shining chic eye makeup.
We'll go through the steps and explanations together, don't worry!

A - Lightly brush the base color evenly
Brush base color (A) all over the lid up to the fold/crease
First thing to do is the take the base color (A)
and apply it accordingly to your eye natural shape.
B - Apply the main color on the eyelid
Don't cover as much area as you did with color A. Leave a barrier of the base surrounding the red color.
After applying the base (A),
use the tip of the applicator or a shadow brush
in the same way and apply the B color.
C - Apply the darkest color along your eyelash line
With color C apply in the area as your would your eyeliner, only a little thicker.
This time, use the thinner, eyeliner applicator
and apply color C to the to both the top and lower lid.
and apply color C to the to both the top and lower lid.
*Recommended to apply color C only 1/3 out from the outer corner*
Point②
Highlight of the areas E→D order
Highlight of the areas E→D order
E - Delicately add the pearl area
Apply the color so that it covers over 1/3 of the eyelid
towards the outside corner.
Either blend/fade the pearl color
out with your finger or a blending brush.
D - Use the pearl color as highlighter
Take the pearl (D) and apply in small spots in middle of the top and bottom eyelid.
Like before, take the tip of your finger
and tab the pearl color to area D (middle of the top and bottom eyelid).
That way it'll make your eyes open and bring out that extra shine.
And Your Eye Makeup is Complete!
POINT: Vivid and glamorous sparkle gradation UP
By adding a glossy pearl eyeshadow color
to the color gradation and the redish color stands out.
Your strong, impactful, and contrasting eyes are ready to go!

it is perfect for a sophisticated yukata style.
