STEP 1: Foundation/Base
 |
| Presenting clear skin with a light texture with foundation that spreads easily on the skin. |
For the base foundation,
the cat and witch looks are the same so we'll explain it together as one!
First thing you do use the base and foundation to create skin tone
covering any imperfections.
We'll talk about highlighting and contouring the face,
but basically this 1st step is the same as an everyday makeup look.

Skin Tone, Covering Imperfections

| Prep the skin with the base, and finish with foundation. |
Prep the skin using KATE's Secret Skin CC Base Zero/EX-2 lighting color base.
The lighting helps reduce any redness of the skin
leaving an even skin tone to work with.
leaving an even skin tone to work with.
For the foundation,
we used Secret Skin Maker Zero (liquid).
It's a pretty high coverage foundation,
but doesn't leave a thick coating feeling!
It leaves a very light sense on the skin.

Apply the eyebrow powder,
and once you have a natural eyebrow line
build the brows with the brow gel and brush for extra definition.
Eyebrows
Powder Type → Brow Mascara

outline and fill in your eyebrows for the desired shape.
Then with the 3D EYEBROW COLOR/BR-2

STEP 3: Eyeshadow
 |
| Get the Captivating Witch (left) and Cute Cat (right) look with KATE's new BROWN SHADE EYES N |
we used KATE's newest item,
BROWN SHADE EYES N/BR-6 and BR-3
that allows 2 different styles and charms.
The colors may be different,
but the application process is the same.
So we're going to explain them together as one.
Step 1
Graduation in A, B, and C Order
 |
| Coat eyelid in A, B, C order and deepen it with a smoky graduation effect. |
Step 2
Apply Color E above the Inner Corner Eye, Then Finish with Color D
 |
| Thinly apply color E, and add color D all over the lid. |
producing a deep, smoky gradation.
Then add shadow (color E) to the little pocket
above the inner corner eye (along the brow bone).
Finally add shininess to the eye lid with D color!
⁂Explained with color BR-6 palate used for witch makeup
And your eyeshadow is finished!
 |
| Top: for cat look BR-3 / bottom: for witch look BR-6 |
STYLE 1 - Cat Makeup
 |
| The pink color goes purrrfect with the cat makeup. |
layer the with the brown color within the crease

giving off a three dimensional look to the eyes.

STEP 4: Eyeliner & Mascara
 |
| Developed with famous stationary manufacture Pentel, you can draw super fine and delicate lines. |
Why you ask?
Because you can use the eyeliner to paint on your face!
Not very artistic and worry about making a mistake?
Well don't!
The cat and witch makeup we're focusing on
is relatively easy to do!
And now, let's transform into our favorite cats and witchs
with the special eyeliner from KATE!
STYLE 1 - Cat Makeup
 |
| Simple yet leaves an impression! |
Let's draw some cute lines using KATE's Super Sharp Liner EX/BK-1.
 |
| Drawing a perfect flick at the outer corner of your eye is so important! |
Then as you get towards the outer v (outer corner of your eye),
swoop up making a lil tail flick.
The next part is very important to the look!
Draw on 3 whiskers on each side,
then color the tip of your nose
making the cat's nose.
STYLE 2 - Witch Makeup
 |
| Accent your look by drawing a spiders web on one eye. |
turn your eyeliner into a spider web!
Rather than drawing one on both eyes,
you get a bigger effect if you just draw one on one eye.
It's a biy more difficult than doing the cat's makeup,
but it's surprisingly easy once you get the hang of it.
 |
| Draw a horizontal line on lower lid to be the base, then draw lines to connect the web. |
Starting from the outer v of your eye,
draw 3 lines going diagonally up, out, and down.
Then connect those three lines with swooped lines making a web.
Don't worry if you aren't very good at drawing!
KATE's Special Sharp Liner is distinguished and delicate,
allowing you to draw any sort of line smoothly!
 |
| Once you finish drawing the spider web, finish with mascara! |
apply a good amount of mascara to top off your eyes!

STEP 5: Cheeks
STYLE 1 - CAT MAKEUP
STYLE 1 - CAT MAKEUP
 |
| With the blending of two shades and a 2 way brush creates a 3D contoured face easily! |
The pink cheeks adds an extra cute factor to the cat makeup!
OPEN BRUSH for HIGHLIGHT
CLOSE BRUSH for ADDED PINK COLOR
 |
| 2 way brush and 2 colors for natural colored rosy cheeks. |
With the brush opened,
you're going to start with the shiny color as a base.
Then apply highlighter to draw oblique shine
from the temple towards the center of the face
(going down towards the face).
After that hold both sides of the brush
and bring them together to be shut closed.
With the brush closed,
move the B color (blush) in the opposite direction
you did with the highlighter.
Starting at your apples or wherever works best for your face shape, move up towards your hairline.
Doing so will sculpt your face in all the right places.
Doing so will sculpt your face in all the right places.
STYLE 2 - WITCH MAKEUP
 |
| Contouring really brings out the outline of your face. |
it's important to emphasize your facial bone structure,
not the cheeks, with shading and highlighting.
A convenient item that contains what you need for a perfect contour
is KATE's Slim Create Powder N/EX-2.
First, using the built-in brush, sculpt the face with the contour powder to create shadow and definition. When doing this, write a number "3" from the top of your cheek bone ending at your jaw bone.
Next, take the highlighter on the brush, and use it to highlight the T zone, the under eye area, and the middle of the chin~~then you're finished!
Your 3D sculpted face is complete!

STEP 6: Lips
Both styles have a bright lip.
The cat makeup uses a natural pink lip color
while the witch shows intensity with a bold red lip.
STYLE 1: Cat Makeup
We used two different things for the cat makeup lip.
First, tint type stick lip cream is applied to the entire lip and CC lip oil is applied from above. It expresses the red color that naturally oozes out from the inside of the lip.
A lovely design lip item that is perfect for Halloween
is a limited item that KATE will release in honor of the Halloween season.
The Limited color item (SATAN PINK - BK)
used this time look like black lip balm,
but when applied your lips changes to pink!
Profoundly mysterious...!
Since these limited items can only be bought in Japan from October,
those who plan to go to Japan have to check these out!!
STYLE 2: Witch Makeup
Using Kate's COLOR HIGH VISION ROUGE - RD-1,
use it as a liner and outline your lips and adjust the lip volume.
After that, fill in your lips with color to get a more beautiful red lip.
Rather than using glossy lipstick,
you can create the perfect witch look with a matte red lipstick.

Following Valentine's Day,
Halloween is said to be the second most celebrated holiday in Japan!
Different from the home of Halloween, America,
a variety of events incorporating dressing up
as peoples favorite manga and animated characters are held (cosplay),
and the quality of these costumes are crazy high!
BUT!
Where are some of the most exciting spots in Japan for celebrating Halloween?
Did you know that Harajuku was the first place
to hold a costume party in Japan?
Every year in Harajuku/Omotesando there's a "Pumpkin Parade",
and every year there are over 1,000 children
walking around in Halloween costumes.
Children Halloween events not exciting enough?
Well, head over to Shibuya!
Shibuya opened a Halloween event just for adults.
It is full of events so you can fully enjoy Halloween like
a costume contest, "Halloween food" and a Masquerade ball!
What's even better is, THERE'S NOT ENTRY COST!
So you can bet that this years Halloween will get a lot of attention!
Luxury brand shops and museums, fashionable shopping streets,
that's Roppongi.
The Roppongi Halloween Parade held every year here
is a large Halloween event that attracts over 100,000 people every year.
It can't win against the popularity of
Shibuya and Harajuku's Halloween events,
but when it comes to atmosphere,
Roppongi is unique.
Since the Halloween event in Roppongi starts early in the morning,
it's perfect for those who want to go as a family.
Speaking of Roppongi, you can enjoy Halloween clubs.
A lot of people come to the Halloween events at famous clubs in Roppong
to get the ultimate fun nightlife in Tokyo.
