Hello everyone!
I decided to make a tutorial for this time, and let me be honest: its my first tutorial ever, so forgive me beginner mistakes.
I am sure a lot of you already created their own way of everyday VK inspired make up, or developed much better versions - but for those who want to wear a bit of Visual Kei in their everydaylife but are not sure how, this will hopefully help you.
So, lets start with the base.
(/laughs/ ..forgive me, I'm not blessed with natural beauty)
This would be me without make up.
What you need:
1. A foundation or a BB cream (if your skin tends to get unclean, like mine)
2. A concealer
3. A light powder (it doesn't need to be MAC of course, use your personal favorite.)
4. (optional) A second kind of powder for shimmery finish
Start with concealer.
Apply it on the darker spots in your face, eyebags, the angles near your nose ect.
Just cover the roughest spots of irregularities.
Blend it, and apply foundation / BB cream
To matte your teint, start to apply the two kinds of powder.
I finish off everything with the BB+ glitter powder.
The next step is bringing your face in shape.
What you need:
- A dark brown eyeshadow
-An eyebrowpencil (if your skin is light, use a light brown one, if its darker use dark brown. You shouldn't Use black in this case.)
-A blush in a coral pigmentation (use your favorite, the brand doesn't matter in here)
-A brush to apply the blush
At first - you set a shadow at the bridge of your nose.
Take a tiny little bit of eyeshadow and apply it from your bridge to your eyebrows.
Attention: don't use too much! It mustn't look like you actually applied eyeshadow, it has to look like a natural shadow.
If you did so, fill out your eyebrows.
Put a frown, look "angry" and your eyebrowpencil will easily follow the shape.
Your eyebrows will look perfect all automatically.
Blush is the next step: it will make your (very serious looking face) a bit refreshed and livelier.
(you can imagine, I do a lot of weird faces in front of my mirror without actually being weird /laugh/)
Make this kind of fishface, to find the highest spot of your cheekbones.
apply a bit of blush.
(if you have a good blush-brush, you will only need to wipe from low to high once.)
Eyemake is following up next!
What you need:
1. An eyeliner pencil
2. Liquid eyeliner (longlasting!!)
3. An eyeliner with a luminous colour like silver, white or gold. (I prefer silver. The colour just needs to stay Clean from black and be high reflecting.)
4. Your favorite mascara. (it should give at least some volume: with a lot of black eyeliner your lashes often "dissappear", thats why you usually use fake lashes for the most VK looks.)
Start with the eyeliner pencil and draw your waterline halfway.
[Tip: a stroke of eyeliner pencil as a base under liquid eyeliner often makes the liquid eyeliner last longer, Thats why I apply it on my lashline as well.]
draw a middle thick line with the liquid eyeliner on your eyelid.
-make it the slimest in the inner angle, the thickest in the middle of the lid
- DON'T draw wings in the outer angle.
Visual Kei make up uses to make asian eyes more "western" - rounder and bigger.
Thats why you need to stop the line at the edge of your eyelid.
The inner canthus of your eye is the important next step:
Follow it gently with the eyeliner brush and pull a sharp edge.
Up next isn't less important: a lot of black eyeliner uses to make your eyes appear smaller. Something that we need to avoid - with setting a little light below the inner canthus.
Use Mascara
and you're finished!

Edit: Add false lashes and a tiny bit of light pink lip gloss and you'll have an easy going VK look already.
I hope this tutorial was helpful for some of you.
