I’ve been dying for an opportunity to try on these bottom falsies, especially for a gyaru-inspired look. I haven’t been able to bring myself to wear the whole bands because I felt like they were too obvious.

Thanks for the falsies, Macnunu!

I snipped off a fraction of each one and wore those on the outer corners of my lashline. I’m still getting used to it, as you can see.

This is a look inspired by the gyaru style of pulling down the outer corners of the lower lashline and lining it with false lashes. They do this to make their eyes look dramatically larger and more doll-like. Moving down the lash line also enables them to get away with lining it in black without making the eyes look smaller. The drawback is that it tends to look obviously fake when seen in person, although it looks great on camera. Then again, was the gyaru look ever about looking natural?

I didn’t want it to be too dramatic, so I used just the snipped-off portion and, for the upper lashes, went with a subtle and natural-looking style. Even so, the result was a bit messy, looking over-processed and overall artificial. My eyes probably looked pretty gross from close up. Tell me what you think.

My chin doth protest too much. Seriously. It's been breaking out twice a month and driving me crazy. I wonder if it's because of the new foundations? It's too soon to tell.

I’m really not liking how NYX Circe lipstick looks on me. Nudes don’t seem to flatter me in general.

Close up of eyes:

You can see where I've affixed the false lashes on the outer corner and filled in the area above with white eye pencil.

I’m totally doing this look for my passport photo. I’ll be retained at every security area because I’d look nothing like the photo, since I tend not to wear makeup when flying overseas. I’ll be like, “How dare you say I look ugly without makeup!” even though they wouldn’t have said that in those exact words. I’ll then end up on a no-fly list. Man, I’m full of great ideas these days.

Anyway, let me know what you guys think. I definitely wouldn’t consider this an everyday look but I had fun with it. If you want a tutorial for this look, I’d be happy to put one together.
