I Tried Following a Black Friday Makeup Tutorial

After seeing this trend go around Youtube I decided to try a purple gothic style of makeup by a Youtuber named It's Black Friday.

It turned out hilarious and terrible but I had a lot of fun!

Have you ever tried following any tutorials step-by-step?  I find it's always easier to just look at a tutorial and then modify it to suit your own preferences.

Red Black Smokey Eye Tutorial

Without Photoshop I haven't been able to make custom thumbnails for my videos so they tend to look a bit whacky ^^;  But here is a tutorial for a makeup I wore yesterday!

Cybergoth Photoshoot + Industrial Dance

On the 28th I did a photoshoot with Images by Kenny with the theme of Cybergoth.  I got to practice my styling skills on neco (her photos are all photoshopped much thinner though, which is NOT something I promote.  Love yourself the way you are!)

We found some neat areas at Ximending, a youth shopping district

Smokey Silver Gothic Lolita Makeup Tutorial

I haven't been able to make custom thumbnails because after my laptop was reset I lost my Photoshop T^T  So I just have to pick the least derpy looking screenshot that Youtube offers!

Lolita Fashion Photoshoot and Fashion Show Market

On April 14th we had another market event in combination with a fashion show and photography booths.  What made this different (apart from the combination of events) was that there were sponsors!!

There was an uber-like sponsor that took us from the MRT station to the location free of charge, which was a great relief as many of us had lots of stuff to carry.

I went with a Gothic Lolita theme this time!

Also a bit vampire ^_~

My booth

 This was my first ever attempt at a smokey eye look, and I looked up lots of tutorials before doing it.  I think I did a good job for my first try *pats self on back*

Originally I was splitting a booth, but my partner dropped out so the sales I made pretty much only made me break even when factoring in cost of transportation and the vendors' fee T^T

Taiwan Teddy helping me out

My photos from the fashion show suck, so have a group photo by the official photographer instead!

Group Photo which I declined to join

 I am happy with this look so here's one more photo taken after I got home.  Skindinavia setting spray keeps everything in place so well!

EDIT: Official Fashion Show Video is UP

Chocolate Models Meetup

Rilakkuma Cha Ya!!!

nom nom nom

 On April 8 we had our chocolate model meetup as well as a ceremony for Laina's baby girl (three-month anniversary).  She had special-ordered cookies that were insanely adorable!!

Absolutely adorable! 

Minori Tea Party in Hong Kong 2018

From April 1 through 3 I was in Hong Kong (for the first time!) with Mirage to attend shironuri artist Minori's Lolita tea party!  It was the first time I'd done a shironuri event/makeup.

At the party we made lots of new friends!  And Minori herself was very sweet.

Thanks to Mirage and Lun for some of the photos!

Since then I've practiced some more shironuri looks on my own (pictures on my instagram) and hope to improve quickly~  Though my style leans towards Cyberkei (a la Bazookistan) I still really admire Minori's artistic and detailed makeup style

Official HK Lolita photos are up!

Sakura Blossom Viewing

I can't believe I forgot to post this!  Recently I went with Doro and Kamiko to view sakura blossoms in the mountains.  It was really delightful apart from the other people trying to take photos of us and people touching Kamiko's baby like he was public property.

So this is basically just going to be a photo post!

Twinning Meetup!

My first time twinning (outside of a photoshoot) was so much fun!  We had a meetup where the theme was twins, though only Doro and I managed to coordinate together.  We even tried to have the same hair and makeup as much as possible!

Reflected twins!

 We went to a Hello Kitty restaurant to celebrate March birthday girls Kamiko and Neco!  Doro and I met up early and took so many photos @_@  Everything suddenly becomes more fun when you're twins!

Happy White Day!

We actually didn't realize it was White Day, but we had a small get-together yesterday just for fun!  Of course, most of us are daily lolitas so it ended up being like a casual Lolita meetup anyway ^_^

 We went to woosa, a place that specializes in pancakes.  It's not as good as the Japanese style pancakes we had at previous meetups but it was still pretty good.  Just not very filling ^^;
