What was Kurogyaru makeup in the early 2000s?
- Base makeup is "matte wheat skin"
- For highlights, add a thick white eyeshadow
- For the nose shadow, use a dark brown eyeshadow
- For cheeks, apply a thin layer of orange or beige over a wide area
- Make your eyebrows thin and thin to eliminate their presence
- Make your eyes black with eyeliner and mascara! Add a white line under the eyes
- Make your lips look shiny and nude with beige lipstick + gloss
The Kurogyaru makeup of the early 2000s inherited the makeup of the ganguro gals of the 90s.
The big difference from the 90s is the color of the eyeshadow.
In the 90s, blue shadows were the standard, but in the 2000s, brown shadows became the standard, and the key was to create a beautiful gradation.
Also, by surrounding your eyes with black eyeliner and mascara, you can enhance your eyes and make them look more attractive!
Because of this, she took her time and carefully perfected her eye makeup.
Base makeup
For base makeup, use liquid foundation for dark skin + powder foundation or face powder to create a matte, wheatish skin.
Liquid foundations such as Revlon and Maybelline, powder foundations such as MAC, and face powders such as Shiseido's Bronze Bronze and Anuenue were popular.
Highlight
Usually, highlights are applied lightly, but the Kurogyaru of the early 2000s put them here! I put it firmly in it as if to make a statement.
Highlight cosmetics don't give enough color, so I usually use white eyeshadow instead of highlights!
I used Courrèges and Bourjois white shadows to highlight the bridge of my nose and under my eyebrows so deep that they looked white.
Nose shadow
It was the kurogyaru style at the time to use eye shadow for nose shadow as well as highlight!
She applied a dark brown eyeshadow on the side of her nose with a brush to make her nose look taller.
Cheek makeup
For cheeks, orange and beige colors that go well with wheat skin are popular!
I applied it extensively from my temples to the edges of my mouth.
Bourjois' blush (pastelge series) was popular and was loved by many gals.
Eyebrow makeup
The shape of the eyebrows is quite thin, and the key was to draw them at an angle of about 45 degrees.
In this era, I get the impression that many children completed their eyebrows with just the pencil type.
It was made to be as thin and thin as possible, so as to eliminate its presence.
Eye makeup
The key to Kurogyaru makeup in the early 2000s was to enhance the eyes with eyeliner and mascara!
It was said that surrounding the eyes with liquid eyeliner and applying multiple layers of mascara to add length and volume to the eyelashes would enhance the eyes.
Also, more and more gals are starting to wear colored contact lenses!
Brown colored contact lenses that fit naturally (about 14mm) were popular.
Lip makeup
For the lips, beige with redness removed was popular.
Finish your lips with a glossy, nude look using Courrèges or MAC beige lip + gloss and you're done!
In particular, many gals loved the colors 304 and 305 from Courrèges and Miss and Sis from MAC.
Eye makeup procedure for Kurogyaru in the early 2000s
Apply eye shadow
For eyeshadow, brown gradation palettes are popular!
Among them
- Bourgeois Efermière 41
- KATE Spicy Eyes BR-1
Every gal at the time had one! It's safe to say that this eyeshadow is highly favored by gals.
First, apply a thin layer of white shadow from Courrèges, Maybelline (Color Contrast 22), or Bourjois (Pastel Lumiere 90) around the eyes.
Layer brown eyeshadow on top of it in order of light colors to create a gradation and the eyeshadow is complete.
Draw a white line under the eyes
*Some gals didn't do this step.
Apply white eyeshadow from the inner corner of the eye to the tear trough area.
In the age of ganguro gals, white lines are a must! However, in the early 2000s, there were girls who wore it sparingly and girls who didn't wear white lines.
Draw eyeliner
For eyeliner, use liquid type from Canmake or Inwy and draw it around the entire eye area.
The key is to make the outer corner of the eye a little droopy, and the inner corner of the eye to make a slight incision line.
Apply mascara to your eyelashes
In the 2000s, some gals started wearing false eyelashes, but I get the impression that more gals were wearing multiple layers of mascara.
By layering the Deja Vu fiber wig, which was popular at the time, she created long, voluminous eyelashes.
In the early 2000s, Kurogyaru makeup used eyeliner and mascara to darken the area around the eyes to enhance their eyesight!
After this Kurogyaru makeup look, I think more and more gals are putting more effort into their eye makeup.
