The secret behind Ayumi's anime eyes - Turn me into Ayumi

By Cheong Poh Kwan



EVEN the most makeup-savvy women in Japan can be guilty of make-up boo-boos, said Japanese make-up expert Kazuya Haraguchi.

The Carriere Makeup Creations and Academy founder, who has worked with top Japanese celebrities like Ayumi Hamasaki, said even the bestselling pop diva and fashion icon had her moments of make-up mishaps.

For one, he said many Japanese women strive to achieve the perfect skin tone and texture with make-up. But they end up looking unnatural when they wear too much foundation.

Many women also tend to go really close to the mirror when they apply makeup. If they do not take a step back to check on their makeup as a whole, they may overlook details like whether the colours applied on both eyes and both cheeks are of equal intensity.

Kayuza Haraguchi also advised that women should not rush through their make-up and skincare routine.

The make-up guru was in Singapore to promote the Cyber Colour Gemstone Collection, which he developed in collaboration with cosmetics chain Sa Sa.

He also showed us how he gave Ayumi Hamasaki her big anime eyes in an exclusive demonstration for Urban and RazorTV.

Check out his step-by-step guide to achieving Ayumi's doll-like eyes.

^I can't either o_o

[JackieRos]

Yes turn me into ayu
Cant see the video -.-

[emi♡]

thanks~ the new links work ^^

And the secret lol It's called "GENETICS".

Honestly, all this stuff is pretty basic in make up.

You can get the same effects if you just watch a Michelle Phan tutorial lol

[asmAyumi1992]

[Yoake]

Ty for sharing Maxker
I agree with emiko. Even bubzbeauty had a video to achieve the Ayu's look, tho I personally think that for each shape of eye the makeup techniques are different.

Sorry OT, but I hate that girl's voice lol. She gives good tips yes, but I can't watch her videos without wincing everytime she opens her mouth.

I guess, Ayu gets no special eye-makeup, just the usual "tricks". Such dudes just want to make girls believe, they could achieve any look with makeup, which is basically not possible. If someone's eyes don't look "like Ayu's" they still won't after a makeup-session, right? xD

[aura~]

Mmm overall he didn't say anything we couldn't guess by ourself, except for one thing I found intresting! That one of the keys in ayu's eyes make up is to apply the eyelines under your eyelashes too! I didn't know that~

And I'm sorry for that girl, but even after the make up her eyer didn't look like Ayu's... Ayu has almond shape, and it's not just trics, her eyer are idneed BIG! I was amazed in London qhen she looked directly to my eyes @.@

thanks for sharing!

[waterballoon]

[Heldin]

Thanky ver much for sharing!! I always admire her look in Jewel and on the ABEST2 B/W covers, so that I'd like to try this tipps next time XD
