Makeup Examples That I Like and Do not Like

It is a section of the mail I send to Yin some time ago. It is about goth makeup that I like or not like.

As a general rule that works, heavy shades on eyelid between the brow and the eye makes eyes look larger and give them more tareme feel. I like that.

In contrast something that enhances eyelashes in contrast make the girl look sharper, which is not a good thing.

Girl has to be soft and gentle.

Unfortunately, a good picture with a makeup I like is hard to find nowadays. The picture above the best I could find.

The quote and links are below.

Make up is about enhancing the face in a way that is actually enhancing it. There are too many 'fashion trends' nowadays that do disservice to the attraction. Too many girls fall for these, they probably think that it makes them better but it is actually the reverse. I mentioned bun hair is bad. Overly large thick fake eyelashes for example: they are not making her pretty, yet girls spend money on these fake eyelashes. 

Unlike eyeshadows/shades, thick eyelashes by themselves do not make your eyes look bigger than they actually are.

Anime girls do not have thick eyelashes. Anime creators know what they are doing. You need to go for a similar effect with makeup. Small mouth and nose. For smaller lips use pale lipstick or none at all. Large eyes with the help of eyeshadows  Goth/Emo makeup is a crude version of that but it works most of the time.

On these three pictures there are rather good goth make up
