So, what is it that is of utmost importance in the visual kei makeup? The key is to achieve expertise in applying the black eyeliner, eyeshadow, nose contouring, sharp brows and flawless pale foundation. If you are really keen to gain the upper hand in this craft of applying visual kei makeup, gear up to dedicate a good amount of time for learning it.

The Foundation Tips:

This is the starting point of makeup, and hence, you do not have any choice but to do it correctly. So, what do the basics for the foundation say? They say that you should apply the foundation that is two tones lighter than the natural tone of your skin. Go for a lighter foundation, especially for the visual kei makeup, instead of the regular yellow or pink undertones. Testing multiple shades to get the foundation with the right undertone will prevent you from messing up in the last minute.

Starting The Visual Kei Makeup:

1. Clean The Face:

Clean the face thoroughly and let it dry completely because makeup on a dirty face will be disastrous. Make sure that your face is free of oil or dead skin residues. Now apply the foundation evenly on the face.

2. Cover The Dark Circles With A Concealer:

If you have dark circles, use a concealer to cover them. Make sure that the concealer is of a lighter shade than the foundation.

3. Dusting With Powder:

Use a loose powder and apply it all over your face using a puff sponge or powder brush. Make sure that the shade of the powder matches the foundation color.

4. Lining The Eyes:

You can really be quite creative here. Pick up a pencil eyeliner and first line the top lid of the eye. In case you want to make it look darker, use liquid eyeliner and move the brush over the top of the lid covering the shape of the eye.

5. Adding Fun Shade:

Use a shade that either matches your outfit or according to the way you want to make an impact. A combination of dark and light will give a fun shadow effect to the eyes. You can line the outer part in a black shade to enhance the effect further.

6. Drawing The Eyebrows:

In case you have shaved the eyebrows to get that perfect visual kei makeup effect, draw them with an eyebrow pencil to accentuate your face.

7. Time For Decoration:

With all set, it is time to add more glitter and glamor to the appearance. Apply gems, stickers, or even false eyelashes.

8. Shade The Lips:

Lastly, shade your lips fully with a darker shade by putting the darkest shade at the corner of the mouth and slowly making it light as you come to the center.
