Ayu Point 4: Wear The Ayu Style has caused many people follow non-stop, and besides punk, the sexy low waist pants wasn’t meant to be left out either. (Ayu was the best Jeanist awarded for straight several years). Recently she appears on several fashion magazine covers using black & white series of costumes. Consider that as your fashion needs.

Ayu Point 5: Eyes If you do not possess the big eyes that Ayumi has in the first place, you may do some tricks to your eyes so your eyes will look bigger. Check this out.

1. Do not feel sorry if you don’t have big eyes. Draw up the line between your eye-lids and your eye-lashes using the eye-liner, so to fill up the gal between them. In an instance you will feel your eyes had grown bigger. Your eyes now have the ability to electrocute anyone even when you are closing your eyes!

2. Don’t be lazy with eye-shadowing! First highlight it, remember to draw out the tone for it. Next, use smoked colors to paint it on your eye-lids. Finally draw up your line using the color pencil from the beginning of your eye-lids till the middle, thus brightening up your eyes.

3. Ayu’s eye-lashes are quite long too, so for those who have short eye-lashes, you maybe use the false ones. Clip it and then brush it using the eye-lashes brush, you will see the differences after few repeats.

4. It will be disastrous if Ayu’s light golden hair match up with a pair of thick black eye brows! Besides from styling it and eliminating the dark hairs, you must also dye your eye brows using certain dyers so that the colors would match the hair.

5. Look, just draw some lines and paint some parts, isn’t that easy for your eyes’ makeup?

Ayu Point 6: Nails The nail cosmetics that Ayu brought up has now invaded Malaysia! And her nails aren’t just easy to do it; they are matching her styles perfectly! The price tags in the saloon might not be affordable for everyone here, so therefore you shall have to DIY. Just pay fewer bucks and you can possess you very own beautiful nails.

1. Meteor-shaped nail sticker. The dream-world logos are so cute, which just a little effort you will have amazing effects which can compete with paintings.

2. Flower-shaped nail-sticker. Apply a layer of nail polishes before sticking them. So much for the effort.

3. Don’t be mistaken that it’s a water color; it’s in fact the nail-paint brush. Unique tip and easy to use methods make rookies a pro.

4. Romantic-looking blue laces. Wrong! It’s actually nail-stickers!

5. Shining curly nail stickers, able to put on a diamond crown on your nails.

6. 3-dimensional flower clip-on. Different colors emitted according to different angles.

7. First paint your nails black, after it was dry, apply the stickers carefully, it’s only 5 minutes to give yourself 10 eye-opening gorgeous nails.

But finally I was able to finish the whole article.... well, at least I was able to keep my promise. Sorry for waiting so long, as I have to plan the whole thing..... haha.

Hope that you can fully enjoy this article.
