Cyber Lolita for Taiwan Tea Afternoon Tea!

 Got to wear my Metamorphose Neon Cyber Girl skirt and harness set for the first time this weekend!  The makeup took FAR longer than I expected 😹 All those YouTube tutorials make it look quick and easy!!!

I am happy with how the liner turned out at least~ 

Cyber Neon Girl Get!

 I made my first online Metamorphose order!  I've been eyeing the Cyber Neon Girl collection ever since it was previewed last year, but it was unfortunately not ready for sale when I visited Tokyo in November.

Since I haven't had any proper work since November, I originally wasn't going to get this, but then I didn't spend all the yen in my account on my trip.  I'd been saving up for a year and a half for that trip, buying JPY when the exchange rate was good, so.... if I had leftover yen, it was basically free, right? (Girl math!)

I was torn between the pink and the multicolor colorways for ages, and ended up getting the multicolor because it had a more cyber feel.  The harness was sold separately from the skirt, sadly, as was the red underskirt!  I ended up buying the harness and skirt (I'm not a fan of the exposed zipper on the jumperskirt or I would have gotten that instead!) but forgot the hair ribbon!  Luckily my friend also was ordering a JSK so she said she could get the hair ribbon for me and next time we meet she could pass it to me!  No idea when we'll next meet up as she's in the USA and I'm in Taiwan, but I can wait!

I made a little unboxing video.  They included some DMs and a thank-you note! 

I'm still waiting on my shoes to arrive.  I ordered black shoes and red shoes, so both should go with this coordinate well!  I think a black blouse would be the easiest choice of top, but I'll see what I can come up with~  I do love Cyber aesthetics, so I love that Meta did a Cyber Lolita collection!

The harness doesn't have clips at the waist. I thought they could clip to the skirt, but it's really just hanging there.  The ribbons are removable, so I can use them elsewhere in the coordinate too.

I think the harness will work easily with other black clothing as an accent piece!

This is the most unique print in my collection now, so I'm excited to see how I can coordinate it in different ways!

What is your favorite style crossover?  Cyber Lolita is extremely difficult to get right, but I think Meta did a great job!  Fan designs I'd seen back in the 2000s tended to look simply Cyber Goth without enough Lolita elements and elegance.  Other crossover styles I enjoy include Hime Gyaru x Lolita, Fantasy x Goth (so more earthy tones, not just fairies/elves in black), and Cyber x Fantasy (magic and sci-fi at the same time!) 

Soft Cyber Kawaii

 

Recently received a new Cyberdog item and decided to try for a soft take on Cyberkei makeup!  I was sort of making it up as I went, but I think it turned out all right?

I used my bhcosmetics Trendy in Tokyo palette (review) for the purple base in Sake and to sketch out the pink part in Emoji shadow.  The lower lashline shadow is also Sake with Kyoto layered over it in the outer corner (the shimmers help Kyoto blend out smoothly)

The neon pink liner is actually Medusa's Makeup neon pigment powder mixed with eyedrops!  The consistency turned out really smooth and I was able to paint the line fairly easily.  Originally I only did the tail and then the inner corner (the parts that are visible when my eyes are open) but I ended up connecting them in my lid fold so that it'd create a floating liner when I close my eyes.

I rather like the way it looks with only the inner and outer corners visible though :3  Then I use a baked highlighter by AOA Studio for the center and inner corner highlights, and did the wing and lower liner with NYX epic ink liner.  I didn't do a good job of connecting the inner corner though, and my left hand shook when I did my left eye, so I had to fix a blob of liner by layering white eyeliner and then highlighter on top 

With the leftover neon pigment, I colored the inner of my eyebrows, but I think that makes the overall look a little to over the top XD so I may go for plain brows or powder color next time!!

I tried on two different lipsticks, and I think the black is more bold, and the pink more cute!  Not that anybody is going to see them anyway because I wear mask when I go out, just like everybody else haha!  

Usually I do rather over the top looks for Cyberkei with massive lashes and jewels/ribbons/drawing on my face, so I like this more subtle take on Cyberkei!  Pretty sure this mascara is on its way out though...

Thanks for hanging out with me!  I'm excited to do more things with the neon pigments I have.  I'd previously tried using them as shadows, but they require other shadows to blend at all, so I think using them mixed with liquid may be the best bet for me!
