My Favorite Makeup (2007 Style)

A while ago I said I wanted to write a post about my   style^^

I changed my eyeshape in the last couple of months and I'm very happy with it! After I struggles with makeup for a while, Moving from old school makeup to more pacchiri makeup took me a while, And I tried a few eyeshapes and styles until I got to the one I liked the most.

Tbh, I the big eye makeup. It is more time consuming, But in a way it is more satisfying, Cause I felt that even though I loved the old school makeup (I mean the 99 one specifically), I started to get bored with it cause it didn't have much diversity in colors and shapes, Mostly ice colors for eyes, cheeks and lips, And that's it. I love it, But I needed a break.

Another thing is, I can't lie to myself, Pacchiri makeup makes you look cuter and prettier. The eyeshape is more dolly like and the lashes that you choose (both top and bottom) can change the vibe completely, While in oldschool makeup using lashes sometimes ruins the whole look, If you didn't choose very natural ones.

So, When I tried deferent eyeshapes, I found that even though I like the very tare-me (droopy) makeup, I don't always feel like looking like this. I wanted a look that is more casual yet glamorous,.

That's when my 2008 Ranzuki came across my mind.

It is a January issue of 2008, Which mean the makeup looks in it are still the 2007 makeup trends. It is of course all a part of my 2007 boom.

When I thought of the perfect makeup that I wanted to do, I thought of Tamochin's makeup in this issue

 

I really do love everything about it. Most important points are the eyebrows, The no droop and the golden vibe it has.

As for the importance of eyebrows in gal makeup, We need a whole different post for it.

But the thing I wanted to talk about mostly is the no droop makeup. Some gals in the magazine has a more tare me shape in their makeup, But it seems like the older gals like Tamo and Maipu went for a more sophisticated shape that has no droop and as Reina called it- "black all around the eyes", which means no gap in the bottom lash line, And black eye pencil framing the whole bottom tear line.

The lashes that they used for that makeup are not so long and bushy. They are more on the natural\spiky side, But since the wing of the eyeliner is not so long cause there is no droop, The lash line itself is more natural looking. I think a lot of the gals back then used Decorative Eylash of lashes from M.a.c

Diamond Lash and Dolly Wink came a little later.

Cheeks are mostly bronze colors, But sometimes pink. Lips are nude beige or pink and very importantly- glossy.

The contour as well is very golden and soft looking, Which is something I really love about this makeup.

That day when I met Akipoyo I tried this makeup~

I also used brown lenses which feels like the perfect ones for this golden look

Second time I tried is for another Akipoyo meet, I was really inspired by Tamochin in general.

This time I used the same lenses in gray, And I feel like even though they fit the look , Brown lenses looks cuter

Lately my favorite eyeshadows are from this palette - Dear My Blooming Eye by Etude House

Besides being super cute on the outside, The shadows are super cute and glittery, And I feel like after so many eyeshadows that were supposed to be glittery and failed me, those really do the job.

I like to use the gold over the whole eyelid and the dark brown on the outer corners; I use the black one above the top lash line which gives a cute affect after you put the eyeliner, like a little bit softer?

The pink one looks cute either as the base color or for namida bukuro~

I also tried using the gold x black instead of the gold x brown and I really liked it, I should try again sometime~

I really wanna try another version of this palette~ The one I have is the one I marked, But the orange one on the left looks ADORABLE too, Maybe more for summer though

(Photos from: Here & Here)

I feel like for this Otona-ppoi look with no droop the best eyeshadows are gold, browns or black, But pink can look cute too~ It just need to be as soft as u can

Another great inspiration for this look is 2007 Tsu chan~

She always did that no droop makeup, And she even used to do the wing of her eyeliner a little high like "cat eye", But very small and short.

Here is a look inspired by Tsu chan~ She was more into the shimmery pink cheeks and pink beige lips

Here you can also see the eyeshape very good~ No droop at all, But the bottom lash line does have a small gap in between the real lash line and the drawn one.

And another one, this time no gap just a thick black line under the eye

The lashes that are perfect for this makeup in my opinion are Daiso b03 or other shorter type spiky lashes, And bottom lashes are usually natural or a little more spiky if you're going for a more dramatic look~ I like to use Diamond Lash Nudy eye for the softer look and Diamond Lash Cute eye for the more dramatic one. I also like some random eBay lashes I have.. Maybe I should make a post about my favorite lashes w

One last thing before I stop rambling w

I really prefer brown lenses for this makeup style. I think it looks more 2007 and "natural". You mostly see smaller lenses like Honey Wing or Angel eye

But I feel like some gals used gray lenses from time to time, For example Tsu Chan that had her produced lenses, The Geo Wing series and she had a gray version (Geo Ash Gray)

I tried to do this makeup with gray lenses like I showed you above and also with those super light gray lenses and tbh it looked cute, But AGAIN, I do prefer it with brown ones for most of my looks.

I have just ordered new lenses since the lenses I'm wearing in all the photos above (accept this one) are expired already and I have no brown lenses now

Well, That's it for today, Sorry if this was super boring tbh I don't even know:O

If anyone is interested, I was actually planning to post a makeup tutorial I have from that Ranzuki issue of this makeup^^ So stay tuned~~

And tell me what you think: Gal makeup without the droop looks less gal or not?

See you next time!

Love,
