Lol, ok, calm down guys. If anything, fashion changes. And we all know a lot of different people play a part in a photoshoot, so you couldn't put majority of the blame on Ayu when you don't know exactly what goes on behind the scenes, despite her having a lot of 'control' over her image. Photographer being a factor of a good or bad photshoot aside, concepts are firstly chosen and coordinated by the photoshoot team, right? (I'm just assuming, so feel free to correct me.) Ayu couldn't possibly have the time or energy to meddle with every aspect. Maybe her tastes are changing, in a way many of you (even I) dislike, but I don't think it reflects a change in her character, so calm down~~

Also, I seriously doubt she's trying to look like a teenager. Just because someone (as most women do) likes to look a bit more youthful or girly, it doesn't mean that they're trying to act young (up to the extent of under 20 o.0).
About having an image...cripes, trying to decide whether someone has an image with a handful of photoshoots? Ok, I know she hasn't been looking fabulous, maybe even pretty bad (Sunrise cover x_x), but the ViVi book? That wasn't THAT long ago (depends on your perspective), and she was stunning there. Ups and downs, you know? Is an Ayu 'image' based on photos? To me, she's an artist, part idol, but not an idol who's as dependent on visual concepts as full idols are.

Back to the photos. I don't like them much, but I don't have a beef with them either. I'd like to blame the lighting if possible. Remember, lighting, not only make-up, can do wonders.

p.s. to the single eyelids comment: ...what's wrong with single eyelids? -__-
