quote of the day

Chinese-style makeup expresses the inner strength and confidence of a person and it feels new here. I think the concept of a 'cool woman' is becoming widespread in Japan nowadays.

"Shikanoma," 21, who shares information on makeup mainly on YouTube. Chinese-style makeup, which features a bolder and more mature look, is starting to spread in Japan.

So Japanese women are discovering what looking like a grown up, "adult" woman is, rather than like a kawaiii 10 years old girl? Mind blowing.

Looked because I wondered what was that supposed to mean. Do not see the mature and bold stuff in it. And I am kind of thinking that the full white face is even creepier that the flashy pink cheek.

I do not get this thing about make up.

Just don't confuse "inner strength" and "confidence" with "arrogance" and "self-entitlement".

One of the most enduring qualities of Japanese women is their humility and mindfulness of others' feelings. Please don't lose that.
