Sultry Bronze & Copper Make-up Look by Debbie


Hey guys this is my make-up tutorial for a sultry bronze & copper look. Since I did a voice-over in my first video, I decided not to do a voice-over for this video instead and see how it goes. As a result, there are quite a few mistakes in the video LOL sorry....


This look is actually Gyaru inspired. From my understanding, there are many styles of Gyaru. The style I'm inspired to do here is called "Kara" which means spicy or hot in Japanese.  You'll often see this style in Japanese Fashion magazines like Happie Nuts.


With this style/look, there is an emphasis on the eyes...lots of use of copper and bronze shades and lots of false eyelashes. The lips are also much bolder in color. Since this is a Gyaru inspired look, I've chosen to use 3 pairs of eyelashes for my top lashes. You don't have to use that many false lashes if you don't want to. You can just use one pair of thicker and more dramatic false lashes will do. You can also skip the bottom lashes if you want (it's optional). I just chose to do it because I wanted to balance the top lashes out since they're so dramatic.


I've actually never worn this look before. Creating this look for this video is actually the first time I've worn this look ^_^


Also, I forgot to mention in the video that for this look you want a more tanned & bronzed look so use a foundation that is one shade darker or slightly darker than what you would normally wear and use more bronzer to create that tanned bronzed look. I usually use use NC35 but for this, I've used NC40.
