EYESHADOW

which expresses the depth and color of your eyes.
So we'll explain where to apply these two shadows
so you can get the look yourself!

Yomiuriland (よみうりランド)
Just about 40 minutes from Shinjuku on the Keio Line,
you can get to the amusement park "Yomiuriland"
which has the biggest light up event in the Kanto area!!

Lovelystream area, Cute area, Forest area, and Wisdom area!
If you just want to walk around the park and take some pictures,
