Heck ya, tape your eyelids to make those double eyelids, just like those Caucasians! For my single eyelid friends, I’ve bought myself a pack to show you how they create those double eyelids. Here’s my before and after! Am I dedicated or what?!

If you saw me in person, you’d totally see that I have tape on my eyes. Desperate, you say?

Eye Talk (Eye Glue)

This is the same idea as the first where you’re making your eyelids stick in a way that it becomes double eyelids. But this time, you get to use glue and a fork! As your dedicated blogger, I also bought Eye Talk to test out. It’s not as easy as those youtube video makes it out to be so I’m not going to show you how I attempted to poke my eyes out. Instead, I’ll show you a video of how this model use Eye Talk to make various styles of eyelids (in high speed to trip you out)!

LED Eyelashes

Apparently, LED lights will give people the illusion of larger eyes. The wearer can turn the lights on and off by tilting their head. Too bad they don’t shoot laser beams! Check it out in action!

Ganguro: A Lesson on Japanese Rebellious Makeup

Ganguro is an alternative fashion trend in Japan characterized by coloured hair and dark skin among women way back in 2000 and remains popular today, mostly concentrated in the Shibuya and Ikebukuro districts. It’s basically a visual form of revenge on traditional Japanese society where individual expression by women is not looked well upon. This is their attempt to express themselves freely in open defiance by looking like everything Japanese traditionalists frown upon — dark/tanned skin, dyed hair, flamboyant clothing and anything that sets you apart from the rest. For the serious rebels, they don’t paint their face dark, they tan to the extreme. But this style is so popular now that there are television shows and fashion magazines specifically on Ganguro makeup and fashion! Oh and the literal translation of Ganguro is black face girls.
