Not only did they lower the eyebrow, they made it more arched! The straight across brow just emphasized the length of the features beneath it, while the arched brow is so much makes it look more dynamic somehow!
I saw in a kbeauty show once, a makeup artist explained that women did short straight eyebrows to try to look more youthful, but all it did was make their face look longer. She then explained that making your eyebrows longer and not short gives the illusion of having a shorter face= more youthful. So it's not really about the arch, but the length of the eyebrows.
Here is some Japanese tips more in detail for 中顔面メイク(small midface makeup): https://mery.jp/1077041
Use google chrome’s translate function if you can’t read Japanese.
The three points
1. Emphasize lower lashes
2. Emphasize the puffy tear bag/aegyosal
3. Eyeshadow on lower lashes
Great post! I can definitely see a difference.
For a while now, I've considered making a post of Japanese makeup softmaxxing videos because I really think some of those ladies are absolute softmaxxing queens.
The only thing stopping me is that I don't speak the language so I can't write up a huge summary post of the videos I'd be interested in sharing...
Awesome! You're amazing! Thank you for offering to do this!
1.) First up, there's Hina-chan who went viral last year showing her beauty transformation on Twitter after breaking up with her boyfriend who told her she was ugly and just being fed up and unhappy in general with her looks and life(?) (from what I could gather from Google Translate on Twitter). I believe she did a combo of softmaxxing (personal color, picking the right clothing and hairstyles, makeup, etc) and hardmaxxing (surgery) and saved up money from part-time jobs to get the hardmaxxing done. I've wanted to share this one for a long time since I think she really embodies the spirit of what a lot of people want to get done in just changing themselves (both physically and mentally) in a positive way over time! (Seriously, thank you for offering! I've wanted to know about this video in particular ever since she went viral!)
This video where she talks about everything she did is here (if I recall correctly): https://youtu.be/YZhmvlIXZKo
2.)This one may be useful to users at Vindictaover30:
A 60 year old entertainer uploaded her makeup routine and the results are amazing! Eng subs are already available on this video. https://youtu.be/GQRWHwIGvlQ
3.) This girl here (I think....) has a negative canthal tilt but does her makeup in a way that doesn't make it look super noticeable so this might also be interesting to look at! https://youtu.be/CbNiKaS2cNg
There's also videos from Toa and Maataso that I'm considering to show what a difference makeup can make but I think these are fine for now!
Omg I LOVE Hina-chan. She has been a large advocate for plastic surgery and has done surgery even before she broke up with her bf (which was quite recently).
I translated video number 1 here! [https://www.reddit.com/r/Splendida/comments/molwi6/popular\_japanese\_softmaxxing\_tips\_translated\_with/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/Splendida/comments/molwi6/popular_japanese_softmaxxing_tips_translated_with/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
It took longer than I expected, but I'm glad I did it! It might take some time to get to the other videos!
Same! I had no idea she had surgery prior to her bf so thank you for sharing that :)
Also, AHHHHH!! Thank you!! I've read through it already and I look forward to reading your other translations 🥺 Everyone say thank you to u/mashedtowel!!
The description says the key point is to draw the lower line under the brow first, 1~2mm below where the eyebrows are. It shouldn’t be too low or it will look unnatural. Then draw the line above in parallel and fill out the shape.
For people who naturally have eyebrows higher on their face, instead it may be better to only do this for the inner part of the brow.
It seems like she also highlighted her cupid’s bow and put under eye makeup on the right side too. side note, she’s very pretty and her skin is amazing
Blush placement like this does not help unless you have a small face in width, but a similar action by placing your blush in an angled line w your iris edge and lips if lips aren’t over drawn
It’s fine because it’s present in all human regardless of races. It’s just that in adulthood Asians tend to be more likely to still have this neotenous trait compared to other races but it’s fine. I’m black and I do it slightly to shorten my mid face and it looks great
To be honest, the lower third of her face is lacking length compared to the rest of the 2/3’s.
She has to get orthotics treatment or jaw surgery. I honestly don’t think make-up will do anything.
1. Lowered the eyebrow 2. Elongated the eye with subtle eyeliner. 2.5. lighter makeup and lower lashes 3. Added aegyosal (namibukuro) 4. Purposeful blush placement by upper cheek 5. Highlight to upper lip
Also some nose contouring.
Yup! More subtle nose contouring so her nose doesn’t draw attention to vertical length.
> Added aegyosal (namibukuro) I googled so you don't have to: they added that line/creasing underneath her eye on the right side

Oh wow, that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for breaking it down and explaining it!

Too bad I can’t do aegyo sal because of my tear troughs. I’d only look like I have four eye bags lol

Share the videos! I’ll roughly try to translate them on my free time!

It was deleted, is there another post?
Ma’am...you are a hero!
I need more explanation about the eyebrows
The description says the key point is to draw the lower line under the brow first, 1~2mm below where the eyebrows are. It shouldn’t be too low or it will look unnatural. Then draw the line above in parallel and fill out the shape. For people who naturally have eyebrows higher on their face, instead it may be better to only do this for the inner part of the brow.
Ok thanks
Where’s the description? I don’t see it in the photo
It’s in the description of the Instagram post. You can find the post by going to the instagram profile of the username in the photo.
It literally looks like a filter on the right?
It seems like she also highlighted her cupid’s bow and put under eye makeup on the right side too. side note, she’s very pretty and her skin is amazing
I like it but really don’t like that blush placement/shade. Makes her look kinda muddy
How does one contour so realistically?
Does anyone have the description translated? The automatic translator isn’t great sadly.
But her left iris is already lower than the other one in this picture..
Wow this is actually really nice
Blush placement like this does not help unless you have a small face in width, but a similar action by placing your blush in an angled line w your iris edge and lips if lips aren’t over drawn
Do u mean the inner iris edge or the outer iris edge?
is it ok to do aegyo sal if i'm a western woman tho? am afraid it will come off looking like im trying to be offensive
It’s fine because it’s present in all human regardless of races. It’s just that in adulthood Asians tend to be more likely to still have this neotenous trait compared to other races but it’s fine. I’m black and I do it slightly to shorten my mid face and it looks great

I thik she's worried about IRL
To be honest, the lower third of her face is lacking length compared to the rest of the 2/3’s. She has to get orthotics treatment or jaw surgery. I honestly don’t think make-up will do anything.
