Embrace simplicity





I finally had a chance to do a photo shoot session to update my modeling portfolio - these are just a few from the batch. Ever since I dyed my hair black, my makeup routine has changed as well. Changing my hair color and chopping it shorter made me realize that a more natural, simplified look is actually better. In these photos, I'm only NARS Sheer Glow Foundation and Radiant Creamy Concealer  Even for my daily makeup routine, I've been skipping eyeliner and mascara most days now. I just use a neutral eyeshadow, fill in my eyebrows with a brow powder, and curl my lashes with the Shu Uemura eyelash curler


I've changed my hair style quite a few times in the past 4-5 years, and one thing I've realized is that your haircut and hair color really determine how your makeup should be done. It took me a while to know what looks good on me in terms of face shape and skin color, but I think this little black bob + fringe is here to stay, well, at least for a while. Have you had a similar experience where a change in hairstyle has made you simplify your look, or change your makeup routine? Let me know in the comments!



やっとブック用の作品撮りが出来たので、ブログで公開します!髪の毛を黒のショートボブにしてから、メイクも更にシンプルになった気がする。今回も、ベースメークのみで、アイメイク全くやってません。最近のデイリーのメイクも、アイラインとマスカラはほとんど使ってないです。髪型やカラーを変えるだけで、メイクがこんなにもシンプルに出来るんだなーと実感しました。やっぱり、髪型は大事ですね!

  5. I don't really use much makeup these days too since I feel like bare skin makes me feel better! However, your latest photoshoot posted on IG was stunning!

  11. i've had bob hair on and off. It's my comfort zone so i keep coming back after haircut and hair color experiences ^_^ and i quite agree, hair does determine how make up should be done. as for me, transitioning from colored hair to my natural black made me apply even more make up lol. XD

  14. What beautiful photos! The lighting is perfect, the composition smart and, of course, your natural beauty shines through.

    I'm certainly no model like you but I recently had the experience of having a professional photographer take my picture. The results were stunning. My five years of lousy blog photos were outshined by those expertly-taken pictures. It's nice to have a pro behind the camera.

    I never thought about your point that makeup is affected by hair-color. Obviously you're right; I just never realized it. I play with different colored wigs, so I ought to learn this. Thanks!
