Japanese Makeup Style: Warm Beige Campus Look
Recommended by Japanese makeup artist Chiyaki Shimada, this winter warm-toned makeup is perfect for college girls. Using warm beige as the base shade, it pairs warm beige with orange eyeshadow over a deep-toned foundation, complemented by inner eyeliner and deep pink lip gloss. The result is a cozy, dimensional look radiating warmth.
Master's Eye Makeup Tips:
Create dimensional depth with layered warm tones. After applying warm beige as base shadow, define outer corners with dark brown eyeliner shadow. Highlight the C-zone (upper eyelid and lower lash line) with light pearl white.For darker skin tones, enhance the inner corners with light pink or pearl pink shimmer to further brighten the eyes and sharpen focus.
Nighttime Style: Shimmering Brown for School Gatherings
Chiaki Shimada describes this look as "a youthful fashion adventure into new territory!"" Building on a brown eyeshadow base, she boldly experiments with shimmering glitter to create a fashionable, radiant glow. Paired with a vibrant coral red lip color for a youthful, energetic vibe, this look makes party-going schoolgirls look absolutely radiant.
Master's Eye Makeup Tips:
Apply an even layer of light brown eyeshadow on the upper eyelid to create dimensional socket shadows. Avoid using brown shades too different from your skin tone, as this may detract from the youthful vibe. Use dark brown or deep chocolate brown in Area A to blend a natural gradient effect.Finally, carefully trace along the lash line near the inner corner with a pearlescent shade containing shimmer particles to highlight the area. This instantly makes the eyes sparkle with radiant brilliance.
Daytime Style: Clear, Light Pink Translucent Brightening Day Makeup
Recommended by makeup master Kuroda Keizo, this brightening and refreshing daytime look is perfect for women aged 20-25. Featuring a natural nude palette, it omits eyeshadow in favor of subtle inner-eye lining. Soft pink blush and highlighter create a translucent complexion, paired with a light pink lip color to accentuate youthful, delicate, and naturally radiant skin.
Master's Highlighting Tip:
The key to this look is using highlighter to create dimensional, luminous skin.On a nude base, sweep a soft pink blush onto the apples of the cheeks for a natural flush. Then, using a pearlescent highlighter two shades lighter than the blush, gently sweep downward along the under-eye area, bridge of the nose, and chin to create luminous highlights. Note: Apply two layers under the lower lash line to achieve a youthful, under-eye bag-free effect.
Evening Style: Deep Brown Blush for a Sensual Bronze Night Look
This look also emphasizes blush and facial contouring. Using deep brown, dark taupe, or coral red creates a sensual bronze evening effect perfect for nighttime.Mr. Kuroda describes this look as "slightly reddish in a way, where deep dimensional eye makeup and low-saturation lips both serve the facial contouring—it's that feeling of being immersed in the night."
Master's Contouring Tip:
Focus on dimensional shading below the cheekbones on the smile muscles.First, apply brown (use reddish-brown for fair skin tones, coral-brown for yellow undertones) in Area A, sweeping diagonally upward from the inner corner to create shadow. Then, use a pearlescent golden-brown highlighter in Area B (the highest point of the cheekbones), sweeping in the same direction to illuminate.Blend the lower eyelid shadow with the shimmer shade for a natural transition. Daytime Style: Romantic Fall/Winter Date Look with Innocent Big Eyes Recommended by makeup artist Inuki Ai, this daytime look is perfect for fall/winter dates.Featuring the most natural brown eyeshadow paired with healthy, large-area pink blush and a juicy fruit-pink lip gloss, the focus is on highlighting big, innocent-looking eyes. This makes the eyes sparkle with charm while the expansive blush gives a rosy, healthy glow perfect for autumn and winter, making you irresistibly endearing.
Master's Eye Makeup Point:
To create wide, innocent-looking eyes, the focus is entirely on the upper eyelid. Apply a reddish-brown shade in a curved shadow along the upper lid as a base. Apply a slightly darker shade at the inner corner, gradually lightening the intensity outward. Use a shade darker brown to deepen the outer C-zone, providing a dark base for the upward-sweeping lashes to visually enlarge the eyes.Blend a light brown with silver-gray shimmer powder to sweep a highlight from the inner corner to the mid-eye area. This prevents the dark eye makeup from appearing too heavy during daytime.
Nighttime Style: Fashionable, Cool Metallic Silver Eye Makeup
"Metallic eye makeup is perfect for urbanites at nighttime parties. The dazzling, cool sparkle is incredibly fashionable!"Makeup artist Inuki Ai explains. Highlight the eyes with metallic silver, add geometric decorative accents, and pair with beige-toned makeup, warm blush, and lip color for a cool yet winter-warm look.
Master's Eye Makeup Tips:
You can almost skip eyeshadow (single eyelids may need a light brown base). Directly line the upper lash line with black eyeliner, flaring the outer corners upward for a seductive, alluring night look.Apply smoky gray eyeshadow in Zone 2 with slight gaps between shades, and don't forget to highlight the inner corner crease. Use metallic silver highlighter in Zone 1 to create a sexy cat-eye effect.
Daytime Style: Say Goodbye to Dullness with Natural-Tone Blush
Renowned makeup artist Ms. Takahashi Riho teaches us how to create a cute yet warm winter look. This daytime makeup uses blush in natural fruit and floral hues to add a dewy, healthy glow to winter skin. Whether you have fair or yellow-toned skin, this method helps banish dullness during the winter months!
Master's Blush Tip:
To achieve youthful, vibrant radiance, blending blush on the apples of your cheeks is crucial! The makeup artist advises choosing natural fruit and floral hues like peach pink, cherry pink, rose pink, or light apricot.Blend the blush with foundation on a sponge before gently applying it to the apples of your cheeks for a more natural, skin-like finish.
Evening Makeup Style: Natural-Toned, Moisturized Lips

This creates a winter evening look that radiates warmth while retaining a touch of alluring charm.
Master's Lip Makeup Tip:
Use a two-step application: First, apply a thin layer of peach or light apricot lipstick from the corners toward the center as a base. Then, choose a translucent, glutinous rice-colored lip gloss and apply it to the center of the lips. This builds up a "fresh fruit-like, juicy and dewy" luminous finish for plump, youthful lips.
