My friend was doing a high fashion makeup photo shoot for her makeup course and I was her model.
The makeup was inspired by Shu Uemura's 2010 Winter limited edition collection
The model on the left was the look she was trying to achieve
Here are some items from that collection
I really wanted to buy this set...
The magical Windfalls partial lashes
But it was sold out so quick and I was too late!!! So upset =(=(
But I did get my hands on the limited edition Abracadabra makeup pouch so I'm happy about that ^__^
Here are some snaps from the photo shoot
Featuring Liz Lisa and Duffy & Shelliemay ^__^
The outfit is so spring even thought we are in the middle of Winter at the moment
Wearing my Liz Lisa dress from Spring 2011 Collection which was worn by Lena Fuji at the Liz Lisa show during Tokyo Fashion Week
This is the runway version which is slightly different to the one sold in stores
Liz Lisa dress modelled by Yui
Love this dress heaps ^___^ Bought it at Liz Lisa in Sogo, Taipei
My new Liz Lisa kago bag & shoes
Pink cheeks X Yellow eyeshadow
My fringe was too long and it was covering up the eye makeup but I think it looks really awkward when swept to the side =(
The teachers and other students was really fascinated with all my *cute* props and outfit lol! I guess gyaru fashion is not seen very often amongst western people here in Perth
Behind the scenes photos =)
The makeup actually looks really heavy in real life and I had to go to the restaurant next door to buy take away for dinner and I was like omg please don't let me bump into anyone I know! Then I ended up bumping right into some friends from work and I was like omg..... Kill me now @___@ I think I scared them when they turned around and saw me!! Lol!
This look is super easy to achieve~ The key is the false lashes~ I'm wearing no. 6 in Dolly Wink as bottom lashes, a pretty pink colour for cheeks and lips and yellow eyeshadow =)
You have beautiful dress ^^

ReplyDelete♥ Very cute! Love the dress as well ^^
ReplyDeleteThank u everyone for ur sweet comments ^__^ Yep that Liz Lisa is one of the most popular piece from the spring collection. I reckon it's because Lena Fuji wore it on the runway hehe
ReplyDelete@cominica-ai The Shu Uemura collection was last year for Christmas =( Such a cute collection but it would be really hard to find anything from it now >__< I have a love and hate relationship with Limited Edition anything! haha >.< Love it when I get my hands on them and hate it when I missed out and the fact that I get sucked into buyin them bcos its limited edition @.@
Wow. I love this post ^_^
ReplyDeleteAhhh i love Shu Uemura now T___T" those lashes look absolutely to die for :O Sucks they sold out so quickly! :( You look so cute in the photo shoot! Love the dress and the teddy bear AND the shoes >_<"
omg~ so cute~
ReplyDeleteyou look adooooorable^^
ReplyDeleteWOW I'm super late replying, again. GOMEEEEN! *cries*
ReplyDeleteOh my god, Yuki. You look FANTASTIC!! OMG you're so adorable and beautiful <3 And you're wearing the shoessss!! I love those shoes on you so much, they're so cute >w< squeeee~~ Each time I visit your blog I always look at your photos (because I'm totally creepy) but really, you look so pretty! It's awesome that your friend took such professional pictures of you; you should put them in a portfolio <3
Hahaha! I can't wear a lot of makeup either because then I get weirdly self-conscious. Then again I'm already self-conscious to begin with lol. Right now I'm wearing my Dolly Wink #1 and FINALLY #8! I put on fake glasses though to tone down the look since I'm also wearing Apple Greens, all for fun XD You're really tempting me with those Baby Cute lashes... ngh! If I ever ran into you looking like that I'd probably go crazy because you're so cute HAHA!
OMG the Shu Uemura lashesssss! They're so unique and cute wow... it's too bad they sold out already :( Maybe you can try making your own or something? XDD; Are Shu Uemura products expensive? I've never looked into their products at all besides the eyelash curler (quite tempting, my Revlon curler is yearsss old!) That fluffy brush looks insanely cute, I want! <3
@katie Thanks for ur super sweet comments ^__^ it's actually her makeup school that hired someone to come in to take the photos >.< I wish I had a good fren that has a studio and can help me take these photos all the time lol
ReplyDeleteDont worry it's really in now in the gyaru world to tone down and wear less makeup
Yep Shu products are quite expensive >.< and their lashes are realllly expensive! especially here in Aus =( I'm goin to buy their newest concealer and eye shadows on tuesday so I will review and swatch those ^.^ The fluffy brush I think it's from that christmas collection where all their stuff is so cute >__< I think the normal shu brushes are just black handles >.<
