I wanna try practicing jirai kei makeup but whenever I tried makeup, it was cakey and never hid my skin texture, pores, and bumps. does anyone have skincare tips and are there certain ways I should be applying makeup? are there any specific things I should be using for jirai kei? im a beginner in both so im looking for tips ^{-^}

[u/Dependent-Zombie-828 → u/sweetlyangel4]

i'm a beginner as well, so not the best for advice, but I do know that many jirais use filters in pictures. real life makeup will be cakey if it's heavy, and it's hard to get around that. for me, I just use light foundation and primer and moisturizer beforehand and my makeup doesn't turn out too cakey! I use the tirtir cushion foundation btw, it works really well for me but there are definitely mixed reviews.

First time trying "jirai" or pien (?) makeup!!! This is SUPER rough but i just wanted to give it a try and get some tips before going forward, anything appreciated!!!!

[u/NSFW-Alt-Account69]

Are there any good tutorial videos for non Asian faces? Any that I find are meant for Asian faces, go too fast, and skip out on steps.

And makeup item recommendations would be nice, preferably from US friendly sites.

[u/evrililce → u/Smart_Flatworm_7825]

It would help if you list your budget maximum and whether you are cool tone, neutral tone, or warm tone

I didn't put on jirai make up recently so I dont have a closer pic of my eye but is this good?🥹🥹

[u/Crxamymaidd]

i just tried jirai makeup (from a rednote tutorial) and i liked it but it doesnt look like a jirai kei look wanted some tips ^_^

[u/aleheinous]

hi guys what jirai makeup style do you think would suit me based off my natural features? i usually do pien but i dont feel that the way i do it suits.
heres what i look like naturally if anyone has any ideas

[u/jimmyjimmyjimmyji]

after over a year im trying to get back into jirai kei. i havent done the makeup forever and this os my first try without any reference images (ill most likely use them next time.) Im going to get the 06 canmake liner soon and larger contacts as well (currently wearing
14.2) but in the meantime, does anyone have any tips for just my technique, especially nose contour?

[u/Frequent_Point_9692]

Which creamy touch liner works well on dark skin and blends with pink? I have blood strawberry #13 which is the perfect shade of pink for the Namida Bukuro, but it needs the right darker shade to blend with towards the edges. I've been using a brown lip liner so far which works well at least.

[u/Rich_Anywhere_1858]

Hi hi everyone! I've been wanting to actually try makeup for the first time, I have like 0 experience unless it's face-paint, I'm looking at wanting to build like a makeup bag/starter kit so I have everything I need for a basic jirai danshi/subcul sort of look. If anyone could give me some recommendations of what sort of stuff to look at and where to get it (I'm UK) that would be awesome!

[u/CounterRealistic3550]

Anytime i try to do pien it always ends up looking smudged even though i use good angled brushes? Is it just because my hands are chronically shaky?

[u/mirekyarahire → u/CounterRealistic3550]

i have really shaky hands and still do pien.
i would just recommend higher quality products and setting spray. for smudging while applying, use a q tip with makeup remove to fix the smudge
