I'll introduce my insane habit,,!!!


Do you like eating chocolates rather than making up?
I would definitely say I pick the second option. How much do I love making up? It's a silly question for me, look at my elephant pouch!

People say why do you prefer collecting cosmetics than clothes? Of course I do purchase a lot of clothes but going to the pharmacy takes first place.

The reason I started being interested in beauty is not only one.
First up, my mother's sister was a beauty adviser at Shisedo. Therefore, she often gave many cosmetics to me when I was a girl.(I don't know why 90% of them were red color!) And she used to paint my fingernails.

I started learning hiphop dancing when I was 9 years old and I met many people who had good taste in making up, and clothes.
I still remember my first performance and we were in a room to prepare. I didn't make up any parts. In other words, I didn't know how to make up much.
But my addicted-loopy brain caught a smell where a lady was upping her eyelushes, and I was standing and looking at her unconsciously. The lady asked me to try. I was a little bit afraid of it but of course I tried it and I felt really good!

As I grow up, after I became a junior high school student, I had got not only manicures but also eyeshadows, lipsticks, foundation, and more.(included much more other colors,yeah!)

My insane habit of spending money on cosmetics started when I entred high school. Every month, ¥5000 as pocket money was given to me from my mother. I often used it all up for cosmetics that I didn't mind even if I couldn't buy trendy-clothes or some boots.(while my classmates were not allowed to make up, tho:P)

Another thing is that I had lots of performances because I belonged to a dance club, leading to having plenty of oppotunities to make up and dress up. Moreover, I made up almost every female friend in my class and some other years' friends when we had school festivals!

I have got one absurd habit of taking any free magazines and cutting some pages off and keeping them in a fill, of for my tumbler. Even other nationalities, such as Chinese, Korean, Thai and Maori.

I have a motto that my mother and her sister told me as I started making up. The first impression on a face is decided by the eyebrows. If eyes are the windows to the soul, a good brow is the face's exclamation mark. Strong brows bring personality and focus to a face. Ever since, it has remained in my mind.

I also feel finding the right foundation is the bane of many women's lives, trying to not just cover or fake to change a weak point to a strong point, etc.

These days, I'm looking at wedding magazines at book shops because I'm interested in wedding makeup. How wonderful to make a bride's face up for the day which might be the happiest day in her life!

Actually, my mother used to work as a wedding planner, introducing me to the pure and beautiful wedding world not only making up but also dresses, flowers and place setting.

Of course I love going shopping and dressing up, having a new hair style or gorgeous style. But my passion and obsession has not changed.

I especially like making somebody up and looking at her face as I finish. If she looks happy or says something positive, I'm happy, too. On the other hand, if I feel sense from her that she is unsatisfied, I'll ask her and that is the key to satisfying both of us and to improving my skills.

I could say I've been influenced by a large number of people who I've met or just because of my pretty young and curious age. But we know appearance builds self-confidence.

Otherwise I still have a question why we make up(some put fake eyelushes as a daily style!) wheras some guys say natural face is the best. Perhaps we just make our own face up so people want to look twice!

I know, I know, appearance is not the most important thing,,,
Oh, can't be fucked!
