MakeUpNista Challenge March: Rock Star

ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ Hey Y'all!!

After a few month hiatus Make-Up Nista Challenge is finally back!! This month theme is Rock Star yeah!! I was pondering for a while whether I want to do this make-up challenge or not but when I was tidying up my book shelf I stumble upon on old "Cure" magazine. FYI Cure Magazine is a Japanese Magazine on Japanesque Rock and Visual Styling, I got that magazine from my BFF Ratih. So I'm thinking.... Heck Yeah!! I'm gonna a Visual Kei look!! 

If you don't know what a Visual Kei is; it is a movement among Japanese musicians, that is characterized by the use of make-up, elaborate hair styles and flamboyant costumes, often, but not always, coupled with androgynous aesthetics. Some sources think that visual kei refers to a music genre, with its sound usually related to glam rock, punk rock and heavy metal. However, Visual Kei’s unique clothing and make-up fashions, and participation in the related sub-culture, is equally as important as the sound of the music itself in the use of the term as while similarities can be drawn between some bands; most are from widely different genres including but not limited to Pop, heavy metal, power metal, classical, rap and electronic. Other sources, including members of the movement themselves, state that it is not a music genre and that the fashion and participation in the related subculture is what exemplifies the use of the term.

Here's what Visual Kei looks like:

GACKT

This guy is my favorite j-rock VK singer ever!!! I don't know.. I just have a soft spot for this guy. I love his song and he's a MAD guitar player!!

So from what I've been strolling around the web, what I found about this Visual Kei is that

- they have heavy eye make up or usually a smokey one

- eerrily flawless skin

- their lips usually concealed or have a dark fuller lips

- no eyebrow!! or usually a tiny slanted eyebrow

- colorful hair!!

Here's what I looks like in an attempt to make a Visual Kei look...

My eyebrows are pretty thick and I don't want to shave them, so it was concealed with the glue stick technique.

BTW I had help by Puput in making this look. Thank U Put for helping me!! VK usually has straight hair but I just waved my before I even think on making this make-up challenge so I don't want to ruin my hair, plus my hair straightener is broke anyway. Here's more picture...!! #LOL

My bangs are weird because of a failed weird attempt on using petroleum jelly as a substitute for hair wax #LOL #facepalm
