Tokyo’s make-up lessons introduce students to a variety of 東京 メイクレッスン styles that reflect local aesthetics and cultural influences. Some of the most sought-after styles include:
- Natural Make-up: This style emphasizes a fresh-faced look, with minimal product use and techniques that enhance the skin’s natural glow. It often involves lightweight foundations, soft blush, and neutral eyeshadow shades, perfect for everyday wear.
- Kawaii Make-up: Rooted in Japan’s culture of cuteness, kawaii make-up features bright colors, soft lines, and playful elements. Techniques often include large, doll-like eyes achieved through eyelash extensions or false lashes, blush applied on the apples of the cheeks, and pastel lip colors.
- Gyaru Style: This bold style is characterized by dramatic eye make-up, including thick eyeliner and vibrant eyeshadows. Gyaru make-up often emphasizes a tanned look, with highlighted cheeks and glossy lips, embodying a more flamboyant aesthetic.
- Harajuku Looks: Influenced by the eclectic street fashion of Harajuku, these styles can range from colorful and avant-garde to punk-inspired looks. Students learn to mix patterns, textures, and colors, creating unique and expressive make-up.
- Evening Glam: For special occasions, lessons often focus on evening glam styles, featuring smokey eyes, bold lips, and shimmering highlights. These techniques prepare students for formal events, parties, or festive celebrations.
