Kryolan UV aquacolor pallet
MAC black liquid eye liner
Avon glimmer stick pencil eye liner in black
a few make-up brushes
Fake lashes w/ glue


I'd like to first say that im not a professional make-up artist,and i havent had any training. i'm just sharing my personal methods :)
ipukeglamour make-up tutorial so start off with a completely clean face and then put on your foundation, concealer, primer, or whatever it is that you use. i just use MAC studio fix powder.
ipukeglamour make-up tutorial dip your brush into a container of water, then tap or pat on towel to make sure its damp but not soaking wet. the reason that i apply my pigments wet is they go on thicker and look more vibrant. After that i dipped my brush into my Pure White MAC pigment (i sell sample jars like whats pictured @ isellglamour.com) and put it on my eyes above the lids
ipukeglamour make-up tutorial After that i put the pure white pigment under my eyes as well. then i got a dry brush and dipped it into my Frost MAC pigment and brushed it over the pure white pigment. this makes it look softer and Frost is a shimmer so it makes the matte pure white shimmery.

ipukeglamour make-up tutorial After that i dipped a dry brush into my pure white and frost pigment and drew a white line on my nose. Apparently Japanese girls do this to make their noses look less flat. I didnt quite like it so i ended up blending it so the line wasnt so apparent. i also used the frost as blush on my cheeks.

According to a Ganguro community on livejournal i posted my photos on the cheek decorations are now "out of style" in the ganguro style. I say if you think its cute do it anyway! screw what snobby LJ communities think :p
