Anime style makeup is considered a trending direction in the beauty industry. Women enjoy using it. Anime is a bright and rich make-up that emphasizes the expressiveness of the eyes with the help of highlights. The girl, made up in this style, is similar to the heroines of modern cartoons. Wearing makeup every day is inappropriate. But it looks good at themed events and parties, such as New Year's Eve or Halloween.
The main nuance of anime makeup is an Asian-style eye make-up
Anime makeup involves accentuating the cut of the eyes. This is the Asian style. The color scheme of shadows consists of white or cream shades. Shadows are applied to the area of the upper, then the lower eyelid. The nuance is that the zone of the inner corner of the eye is drawn in the form of a lowered line. The edge of the outer eyelid should be "lifted" up. A neat arrow from the outer corner completes the image of the eyes.
To emphasize the lower eyelid, do this: draw a thin rounded line from the inner zone of the eye to the outer. In the Asian style, it is customary to highlight the lower eyelid in order to give the shape of the eye some slanting.
After completing the first part of the anime eye makeup, taking into account the preferences and goals of the girl, you can add bright shades to the make-up. Let's use pink and beige shadows. They are distributed along the upper eyelid, reaching the border of the eyebrows. Women who are not afraid of experiments can continue the line of shadows to the temple area. Such evening look to the face of every lady.
At this stage of drawing shadows ends. It remains to emphasize the expressiveness of the eyes with the help of mascara. Anime suggests thickly painted eyelashes so that visually they look voluminous, long, thick. Please note: they should look smooth, without lumps.
Eyebrow shaping in Japanese anime style
Anime implies exclusively straight eyebrows. In Japanese makeup, it is not customary to experiment with lines and their shade. The eyebrows of Japanese women are black. For drawing lines, both a black pencil and black shadows are used. In terms of thickness, it is recommended to observe the measure: not too thin, but not wide. According to type Japanese girls, it is customary to maintain a distance between the eyebrows. In the presence of hairs or fused eyebrows, an adjustment is made with the help of tweezers. For those women who are not ready for such sacrifices, it is permissible to hide the hairs with foundation or light pencil.
Japanese lip makeup algorithm
Makeup lips in anime style is different from the usual lipstick for girls. Makeup begins with masking the true boundaries. Do with a tonal foundation or a white pencil. Anime lips resemble the outlines of a bow. When choosing a contour pencil, you should pay attention to the identity of the color with lipstick. There should be no difference between their shades. Anime makeup artists believe that lipstick should be matte tones. The color is chosen according to preference. The main thing is that the lips look matte. Glitter is not used.
The final stage of anime-style makeup: blush, accessories, hairstyle
Japanese women prefer bright blush. The goal is to make the face as pale as possible against their background. To further give the image of a puppet appearance, use rhinestones, special stickers.
Without a hairstyle, makeup is considered incomplete. Long hair you can dissolve and give them volume with the help of fleece. A braid or braids with woven flowers of a blue or pink hue looks stylish.
Many girls in childhood, when watching cartoons, wanted to be a little like their heroines. Cartoon dolls have won the hearts of many, thanks to their appearance. They had huge eyes with lush eyelashes, a tiny, neat nose, and bow-shaped lips. You can recreate the semblance of a doll appearance on your face with the help of special makeup. To perform anime makeup, you need to study it characteristics. You can look at girls with such makeup in the photo on the Internet. And some of them use it daily.
Anime makeup features
First of all, you need an Asian eye shape. And if the girl has a different cut, then you will have to try very hard to create at least a little similar. For such makeup, you need perfectly smooth skin. Eyebrows should be neat and even in shape. In addition to the fact that the eyes should have a certain shape, they should be painted brightly enough. Eyelashes need extra splendor. And the last thing that distinguishes this type of makeup is small lips.
It will take more than one hour to create such an unusual make-up, so using it in everyday life is difficult. It is best to appear in this image at a themed holiday. Despite the fact that he looks interesting, not all girls can decide on such a transformation.
What will be needed?
To create the desired image, you need to have a set of shadows with different shades, pencils for the eye and lip contour of different shades, black eyeliner, if you wish, you can use false eyelashes, black mascara with super volume, different shades of lipstick, different makeup brushes, tonal foundation , powder and, of course, an eyebrow pencil.
Anime makeup step by step
Before you draw huge eyes, you should achieve a porcelain face. To do this, you need to carefully remove all existing imperfections on the skin with the help of a concealer and cover everything with a foundation on top. For application, it is better to use a brush, as this will ensure an even application. As for the color, it is better to choose a shade that is lighter than the skin. After that, you need to fix the result with powder.
Now you can start reducing the nose and working out the cheekbones. Best for this powder with a bronzer effect. It is applied to the area under the cheekbones from the ear and shaded well. It is necessary to achieve an imperceptible transition and create a shadow on the face. The nose is reduced with the help of the same means, only it is necessary to apply it on the side parts and again shade everything well. Make-up should not show any clear lines.
Eyebrows need to be shaped with shadows or a pencil, imitating hairs. But at the same time, they should have an even and clear shape, and also be located far from each other. You should not pluck out extra hairs for the sake of one evening in this way. It is enough just to mask it with foundation. The thickness of the eyebrows should be medium.
Now the most important detail is eye makeup. You need to get an Asian cut. To do this, light shadows, acting as the basis, are applied to the entire eyelid. Under the lower eyelid it is necessary to apply white shadows, which will open the eyes.
You can line your eyes with eyeliner or a pencil. The upper line should be clear and run along the entire eyelid, continuing beyond outer edge eyes and pointing upwards. The lower eyelid should be brought below the lash line, which ensures large eyes and gives the eyes a slight slant. Moreover, if there are no white shadows, then in this case you can use light beige or flesh. Both lines join outside the edge of the eyes.
Then, on the upper eyelid, a line separating the upper eyelid should be applied with dark shadows and shaded with other dark shadows. Draw a white stripe under the line on the outside of the eyes and finally connect it with the brown tone of the shadows. All transitions must be hidden.
This eye makeup can be made even more interesting if you use the colored tones of the shadows and apply them on the entire upper eyelid up to the temples.
Eyelashes should be painted with mascara in several layers. If natural eyelashes are not enough, then you can use false ones. The main thing is to get puppet eyes.
Lips should be covered with foundation to remove their own contour. Then, with a pencil, draw new outlines more small size and cover with lipstick of the selected tone.
If desired, you can cover the cheekbones with a light tone of blush, which will look great on a pale background of the face.
It is a good idea to use rhinestones or glitter to create an image.
With a similar set cosmetics can be done easily day makeup. To do this, you need to replace the dark tones of the shadows with lighter ones. The lower part of the eyelid, as well as its inner side, must be painted over with a white pencil.
For a more believable image, you need an appropriate outfit and hairstyle. Hair should either be straightened or pulled back into a ponytail. You can dye individual strands of hair with colored crayons, this will give a very doll-like look. And yet, such makeup should not be used for every day, so as not to look stupid and funny.

Next, you have to understand the basics of anime makeup and learn how to apply it. First of all, you have to deal with colors. If you want to create a classic anime look, arm yourself with all shades of pink and blue. To achieve a truly expressive, bright look, you can use colored contact lenses, but this is not a condition, but only a suggestion.
How to apply anime makeup?
First of all, deal with the skin. It is important to achieve the most even, ideal, fresh tone. No errors in the form of pimples or dark circles under the eyes. It is best before an important event that you plan to go to in the form of an anime character, thoroughly cleanse the skin and always use nourishing products, creams. If there are minor errors on it, they must be hidden with the help of a concealer or corrector. At the same time, keep an eye on the amount of foundation, it should not be too much and in any case do not layer.

Shadows can be chosen according to the color of the eyes or use the classic palette of anime characters - purple or blue shades.
Lipstick should make your lips plump, sensual and tender. This can be achieved with a bright pink color, and apply a little glitter on top.
Walkthrough
If you decide to do this amazing makeup and go to conquer the world, we advise you to follow our instructions.
A person often feels the desire to have what belongs to another. The owners of the Asian section of the eyes resort to plastic surgery or simply glue the overhanging upper eyelid to make the eye appear rounder. And big-eyed ones, on the contrary, often try to narrow the section of the eyes by drawing long thin arrows towards the temple. Well, it has always been like this: the owners of curls dreamed of straight hair, and the straight-haired ones slept in curlers.
In all this amazing contradiction of women's tastes, there is one positive thing: the cosmetics industry has offered us a thousand means so that we can change our image at least every day. For example, it will not be difficult for us to turn from a Slav into a Japanese for one evening. And, of course, competent makeup, styling products and hairpins will help us in this.
So, let's say we're having a Japanese party, which means we're going to have to dress up a bit. First we need to decide who we will be at this Japanese party: just a Japanese girl, an anime heroine or a geisha? To create any of these images, we will have to conjure over the cut of the eyes, making it close to Asian. Of course, we will not use any glues, adhesive tapes and other tools - we will manage with decorative cosmetics.
How to create an Asian eye slit?
First, very light (white, cream, etc.) shadows are applied to the upper and lower eyelids. Next, we take the black eyeliner and draw a line on the upper movable eyelid. Eyeliner should be applied very thinly and directly along the lash line. On the inner corner of the eye, the line goes down, and on the outer corner, first slightly down, then up.
Do not confuse Japanese makeup with Arabic: in Arabic, the line from the center of the eye towards the outer corner gradually rises and eventually goes up - towards the temple. This approach will not help in creating asian eyes. First, the line goes directly along the lash line to the outer corner of the eye, and only then rises slightly (see image).
A very thin line is applied to the lower eyelid with a gray eyeliner or a light pencil. Here you need to focus on your eye shape. If the eyes are almond-shaped, then it will be enough to draw a line along the lash line. Round eyes need to be visually narrowed: for this, you need to start the bottom line near the inner corner of the eye just below the lash line and gradually raise it so that it goes to the outer corner of the eye at the level of the lash line.
The upper eyelashes need to be made up, but you should not focus on the eyelashes - this will visually enlarge the eyes, and we want to achieve the opposite effect. Lower lashes do not need to be tinted.
Eyebrows should be straight. Any flirtatious bends are not allowed here. Only straight, clear and, of course, black. The thickness of the eyebrows is not critical, but everything should be within the normal range. By the way, Japanese women have a large distance between the eyebrows, so if you wish, you can do plucking the inner edge of the eyebrows. But you shouldn't do this if you want to be a geisha. So, with the eyes we figured out. Now consider three different images.
Just a Japanese
The skin should be matte. We apply a very light tone under the eyes and on the cheekbones - so that these areas visually increase. On the rest of the areas we apply the usual tone that suits us. We bring lips with a pencil and paint with lipstick. One condition - the lips should not be plump. Therefore, if your lips are large, adjust their size with a pencil and dark matte lipstick. No lip gloss.
Suitable hairstyle - smooth dark hair maybe a wig. The ends of the hair should be straight and clear - no wavy lines and pomp.
Makeup for the image of an anime girl
The eye makeup described above needs to be slightly changed: make the line on the lower eyelid round, so that the eye turns out to be slanted on one side and large on the other (for some reason, the heroines Japanese anime all are big-eyed). A small black line at the inner corner of the eye, pointing down, can be removed by replacing it with a line made with very light shadows.
Eye makeup can also be supplemented with bright shadows up to the eyebrows, but they need to be applied from the inner corner of the eye towards the outer edge of the eyebrow. You can bring shadows further - to the temple. On the cheekbones, you can apply bright blush, and make up your lips with ultra-color lipstick. That's just the sponges need to be visually reduced.

How to visually reduce lips? First of all, apply a white tone to them, completely masking the borders. Then draw a new contour with a pencil, giving the lips the shape of a neat and thin bow. Lipstick is better to use matte. The same method should be used when doing lip makeup for the image of a geisha, only you need to use a red pencil and red lipstick. But back to the anime girl. The face should be made pale, but with a slight blush. Hairstyle can be any - even in color. It can be two high tails above the ears, long braid, flowing hair with fleece. The ends of the hair are torn, bangs are almost mandatory. You can complement the image with fake ears a la elf, and decorate your face with rhinestones.

Geisha
A white tone is applied. Japanese eye makeup is done, described at the beginning. If desired, you can supplement it with colored shadows - a triangle at the outer corner of the eye. Eyebrows straight, clear, black, located quite close to each other. Lips are visually reduced. On the cheekbones - peach blush.
Geisha hairstyle is quite complicated, therefore, it is unlikely that it will be possible to repeat it independently. You can buy a geisha wig. And you can do some kind of geisha hairstyle:
- black hair, combed back, is fixed at the back of the head with hairpins and bamboo sticks.
- At the same time, the hair is not pulled together tightly, but remains free to make the hairstyle voluminous. To do this, you can make a pile in advance.
- A geisha's hairstyle is almost always decorated with flowers.
We wish you to be yourself beautiful japanese at the funniest party ever!
Anime fashion has gained popularity not only in Asia, but also in Europe, in Russia. Few now do not know what it is. The popularity of cosplay, the worship of gyaru, the constant meetings of Japanese culture lovers and mass comic sessions only fuel interest in this style. Fashion and makeup did not bypass.
What it is?
The style and techniques of anime-style makeup look quite extreme. However, trying on such images for yourself, you can very easily hone the art of makeup. You will know how to make really giant eyes, how to achieve a perfectly even tone of the face, how to make a “doll” alluring mouth, and so on.
Yes, such makeup is only suitable for specific events or photo shoots, and not for Everyday life, but sometimes you really want to believe in a fairy tale, so why not! Immerse yourself in Asian makeup culture from the ground up.

The following distinctive features of the style can be distinguished:
- Big eyes, colors are often unnatural. How to achieve this effect will be described below.
- Even tone of the face.
- Perfect brow shape.
- Very thick and long eyelashes - both lower and upper.

The modern look of the anime is becoming very close to the cartoon characters. Suits, wigs and colored lenses complete the look very well, but you can start with the face.
The wonders of Japanese makeup at home
Of course, it is best to start your acquaintance with video tutorials. If you do not know who you can be inspired by, then here are two names of real masters of reincarnation - Valeria Lukyanova (Amatue) And Anastasia Shpagina. The images that came out from under them light hand, a huge amount - you will definitely have enough to be inspired.
Most likely, you will not succeed in makeup the first time (and not even the second). Stock up on patience, materials and micellar water to quickly fix smeared lines and extra strokes.
How to do?
Not everyone knows how to do all this yourself. It is worth disassembling the basic techniques in stages.
So, we turn into a geisha. Agree, the first thing that comes to mind when you hear about such an image is an incredibly smooth White skin like a porcelain doll. In the old days, Japanese women took several hours to create such beauty. Now the task is greatly simplified (thanks to the many decorative cosmetics).
It is recommended to proceed step by step. We base everything on white powder or the lightest shade of foundation you can find. To create a very even surface, you will need to pre-apply a primer. Work this "primer" carefully so that the face really looks even, almost perfect.
After covering the base, you can proceed to white makeup. If you are using the baking technique in ordinary life, powder, designed to highlight certain areas, will help make up faster.
Do not forget to paint over not only the face, but also the neck. Most likely, it will be open to the eyes, and the difference between tones natural color and the painted zone will seem comical.
When the overall tone is completed, you can take up the eyebrows. Of course, they must be black as coals. Leave fashionable wide and angular eyebrows. The classic form of geisha makeup is much shorter and thicker. Eyebrows are drawn slightly rounded, without angular creases and clearly traced hairs. One solid thick line.
Having completed work on the eyebrows, you can move on to the eyes. by the most important element is the contour line on the top of the eye. Pencil, eyeliner or shadow should be very black, and the line itself should be incredibly even and clear. You will have to draw with smooth movements, from the nose to the temples. The line should go to the thickening.
A similar story also occurs in the lower part of the eye, only the tone of the eyeliner should be a little lighter. When both lines are ready, connect the far corner of the eye in the manner of the Banana technique, achieving an Asian cut.
The final touch of this image will be the lips. Small, but bright - like a bow on the head of a young schoolgirl. The edges can be whitened and made to look like lips folded for a kiss. The color of lipstick varies from scarlet to pale pink.
If you previously used red shadows to further decorate your look, it would be logical to use this shade in the lip area.
Another additional color that can decorate the eyes is yellow. Warm tone can be added to the corner of the eye or over the black arrow on the upper eyelid.
Such traditional makeup is not very difficult to repeat. Some specific moments (for example, correction of the shape of the eyes) are easily transferred to the everyday look. The following types of Asian-inspired makeup are unlikely to be used in the ordinary life of a Russian woman, but it is very interesting to try to recreate them.
How to make big eyes with makeup?
The eyes are the mirrors of the soul. In the anime style, these mirrors are so large that you could find out the whole story through them. It is around the eyes that the beauty of the image is built, and it is worth starting with them.
It is necessary to decide with what minimum set tools, you can recreate such a cute and strange image. You will need:
- base under the eyes;
- white shadows;
- white pencil for the eyes (preferably waterproof);
- taupe eyeliner (to create a shadow effect);
- black eyeliner;
- false eyelashes.
As additional "chips" for the image, you can use rhinestones, sparkles, any shades of shadows and colored lenses. If you want really big and unusual eyes, lenses are just what you need.
photos
The first thing to do is apply primer to your eyes. It will allow the white pigment, which is very necessary for a deceptive visual effect, to appear in all its glory. Apply the primer not only on the upper eyelid, but also affect the area in which the so-called bags often form.
Then remember the Nike logo. Under the eye, you will need to draw with white shadows a shape resembling this checkmark. By drawing this outline, you designate the lower border of the drawn eye.
Also paint over the upper eyelid with white, capturing the area above your natural eyelid crease. White color should end almost at the very eyebrow.
Carefully draw the water line of the eye with a waterproof white pencil so that the water line and the check mark from the white shadows seem to be one.
Then put the white aside and take the black eyeliner. Draw a neat arrow from the middle of the eye that points down. Its bottom edge should follow the shape of the white checkmark drawn earlier. So you visually expand the boundaries of the eye.
Once you're done with the bottom edge, move on to the top. Now that you have a path outlining the recreated eye sockets, you can draw a nice upward arrow. Start drawing from the bridge of your nose. Carefully pull the corner up, make the arrow thick enough. You will have to paint in several layers. It will be possible to correct irregularities with the help of the same white waterproof pencil or foundation. It is better to use a brush for this, not fingers. Having created a beautiful wave, proceed to drawing additional highlights and contours.
In the place where the superciliary bone protrudes the most, draw a straight line. To begin with, this can be done with the pencil that you left to create shadows, but then it will need to be touched up with eyeliner. Fill the space between the black arrow and this line tightly with white. Parallel to the first line, draw another one, a little closer to the nose, and you need to make it so that it repeats the curve of your eyebrow a little more.
Once you've drawn the two lines in black, start adding the shadow. Take a taupe pencil and start with the very bottom line that forms the drawn eye.
Completely duplicate the silhouette with a pencil - just below the black outline. Perform similar actions with respect to the two drawn stripes on the eyebrows.
Important: if the shadow is drawn from the inside of the upper strip, then it is drawn from the outside of the line following it.
Then paint over the corner of the eye, located closer to the nose, with a brown pencil. Start a little from the inside and bring the little arrow out. Then use black eyeliner again: draw a small triangle on the very edge of the water line.
Then the matter remains only for false eyelashes. You can leave the top row as your own, just cover the hairs with mascara for density and color. But on the line below you will need to stick a number of artificial ones. The technology is the same as always, only the attachment point changes.
