Unlike the modern preference for natural looks, a thick foundation application was the norm.

A foundation with excellent coverage was used to achieve a poreless, white complexion.

Add highlights to the bridge of the nose and chin

To give the face dimension, highlights were added to high areas like the bridge of the nose and the chin.

Light purple and light pink shades were popular for highlights, as they added a sense of transparency to the skin.

Apply nose shadow firmly

After applying highlights, the next step was to apply a nose shadow firmly.

Light brown shades were popular for nose shadows.

Dark shades could be too assertive even in small amounts, but light brown close to the base tone allowed for a broad application that looked natural.

Many would apply nose shadow quite generously from the beginning of the eyebrows to the sides of the nose.

Add shading to the face line to make your face smaller

Shading was applied from the temples to the jaw with a brush to create a smaller face illusion.

Shading was also applied along the boundary between the foundation-covered and bare skin on the neck to blend the lines and prevent any color mismatch.

Cheeks are dark bluish pink horizontally.

Cheek color popular at the time was a blue-toned pink!

Highly pigmented blue-toned pink blush was applied horizontally on the high parts of the cheeks.

Next, a light pink blush was applied along the edge between the cheek and the base to blend the colors, which helped achieve a natural finish without the blush standing out.

Among these, Candy Doll's blush was widely used by many gals.

Eyebrows have a natural arch shape

Eyebrows were neither too thin nor too thick, and many opted for an arched shape.

The inner part to the peak of the arch of an eyebrows was drawn with powder, and the peak to the tail was drawn with a pencil to achieve beautiful eyebrows.

Then, eyebrow mascara was used to match the eyebrow color with the hair color, completing the look.

Since many girls doing doll makeup had light hair colors, keeping eyebrows black would make them stand out awkwardly.

Thus, eyebrows were often lightened to match the hair color.

Eye makeup is round or droopy dolly eyes

The most crucial aspect to achieve a doll-like face was the eye makeup.

Eyes were made to look large and doll-like using color contacts and false eyelashes.

Unlike other styles of the 2000s that used heavy eyeshadow and thick eyeliner, dolly makeup was relatively understated (for a gal look).

Light brown and beige eyeshadows were applied thinly, and eyeliner was kept minimal, only on the upper lid.

This was compensated by wearing voluminous false eyelashes to create big eyes.

Colored contact lenses are a classic brown color

Among amagyaru who favored doll makeup, brown color contacts with a defined rim were popular!

Among them, colored contacts such as Angel Color Bambi Series-Chocolate, Pure Brown from Puream, and Soy Latte from Girly Chip have a reputation for enhancing eyesight.

Lips are bluish pink or baby pink

Pink was the preferred lip color among amagyaru who liked doll makeup.

Especially popular were blue-toned pink and baby pink, with gloss applied over lipstick for a shiny finish.

A key step was to apply a cream eyeshadow as a base.

Since eyeshadow was more subdued (lighter shades) compared to other gal styles, cream eyeshadow was essential for enhancing color payoff.

As for the cream eyeshadow, Dolly Wink's gold color was popular!

Brighten up your eyes with glitter!

Adding glitter to the inner corners and eyelid increased the sparkle around the eyes, making them look more glamorous, so some girls topped their eyeshadow with glitter.

It became popular after how-to guides on creating eye bags were featured in Popteen magazine.

Draw eyeliner

The key to dolly makeup is droopy eyes!

Use eyeliner to emphasize your droopy eyes.

The line follows the shape of the eye from the inner corner to the outer corner, and is extended downwards to create a droopy effect.
