BCL Kawaii Makeup Blogger Workshop

BCL 的意思是Beauty Creative Lab, 是个新的化妆品牌子，来自日本。今天就很高兴可以跟日本来的化妆师Mr Tanabe 学习如何化kawaii 的妆容。据说Mr Tanabe 在日本是蛮出名的，曾经上过杂志报道以及在Shiseido 品牌当过7年的化妆师。

BCL means Beauty Creative Lab, a new cosmetic brand from Japan. I was happy to learn Kawaii makeup from Mr Tanabe, MUA from Japan. I heard that Mr Tanabe was very famous in Japan. He has been featured in many magazines and worked for Shiseido as MUA for 7 years.

我们抵达时，似乎他们还未准备好。这是模特还没上妆的样子。据说模特儿也是特地从日本过来哦！

Upon arrival, they are not ready yet. The model is yet to have a base make up. They said the model also flew all the way from Japan.

工作人员都很友善，当化妆师在做准备的时候，他们主动问我们要拍合照没有。

The staff is very friendly. While waiting, a lady asked us if we want to take photo and she just took both of our camera and shot for us.

这是准备好在桌上让我们使用的化妆品！在等待片刻，我们都手痒痒，开起来‘玩玩’。

All makeup tools were ready on the table. We just played around with them to get know the brand better during the free time.

来自日本BCL 公司的销售人员，化妆师在demo时，他就拿起产品包装盒给我们看，还蛮搞笑的一位。

He was BCL company sales person, also a Japanese. He showed us every product with packaging together when makeup artist using the product on model.

左边女的是翻译员，在马来西亚待了4年的日本人，他的英语也是很不错的！多亏他在，让我们知道化妆师在说什么，同时间也让我们可以抛问题给他。

Left hand side lady is translator. She is Japanese and has been staying in Malaysia for 4 years. We are lucky to have her on spot, if not sure we can not understand what MUA talking.

在日本最时尚的妆容分为4种，那就是Shibuya （自信打扮）, Harajuku （甜美打扮）, Akihabara （自然打扮）以及Yokohama （高雅打扮）。

Mr Tanabe 将教我们怎样化Shibuya妆，注重的地方是必须化出显着的眼线。

In Japan, 4 latest trends of girl's makeover theme are Shibuya (confident) , Harajuku (sweet), Akihabara (natural) and Yokohama (elegant).

Mr Tanabe would teach us how to make Shibuya girl look. The beauty tip is to have sharp and impressive eyeliner for Shibuya look.

首先是打底，化妆师使用Clear Last Face Powder High Cover。这里共2个颜色。黑色盒子的粉底搽了有层次感，因为带有闪亮的颜色；而粉色盒子的粉底却比较适合有痘痘皮肤的人，较利于遮瑕。

First, he used Clear Last Face Powder High Cover as makeup base. There are 2 colours for selection. The glittering powder in black container applied for better gradation while the pink one is more suitable for those with pimples/acnes skin.

接下来是化眼眉，这也是每次我很头痛的事，感觉我每次都不能好好上手。

Drawing eye brow is headache to me as I can't draw perfectly each time.

Browlash EX W Eyebrow Pencil & Liquid

我忘了拍这眼眉笔，所以这是BCL FB page 拿的照片。说真的我很喜欢这支笔，一边是水墨，一边是笔。目前他们也只有2种颜色选择，那就是Natural Brown 以及 Grayish Brown.

I forgot to take picture of the eye brow pen and this was the picture from BCL FB page. I really like the this product. One end is liquid and the other end is pen. So far there are 2 colours for selection, which is Natural Brown and Grayish Brown.

Mr  Tanabe 说化眼眉的正确方法应该如上那样子的步骤。先化眼眉尾，到中间然后才眼眉头。用水墨的那段画出眼眉尾的外围线，再慢慢用笔画里面。最后用回水墨那段填补眼眉的空洞，使化出来的眉更自然好看。

Mr Tanabe said the right step to draw eye brow should be like the one drawn above. Started with eye brow tail, move to middle part and slowly to front. He taught us to use the liquid part of Browlash EX W Eyebrow Pencil & Liquid to draw the outline of the eye brow tail and then used pencil part to draw the inner part. Last he asked us to use liquid part to fill in the gap in the eye brow.

这是BCL 在面子书分享的图片，依据个人脸型而画出的眼眉。

接下来是涂眼影

Next is eye shadow

他们没有出盘装的彩盘，只有笔装的。颜色只有两种，Light Brown 和 Bronze Brown。这支笔同时间也可以当作是eye liner。用作eye shadow 时，就把眼尾涂熏开来。还有特别之处是笔盖是装颜色的，是颜色的源头。所以Mr Tanabe说，当你涂的时候，若觉得不够，就把笔盖回去，然后拔出来再化。

Eye shadow is not coming in palette but pencil. There are 2 colours for selection: Light Brown and Bronze Brown. At the same time, it can be eye liner too. When we use as eye shadow, the end of eye corner need to be smudged after application. Another specialty is the pencil cap supplying the colour. Thus Mr Tanabe said we need to cap back the pencil and put it out again when we felt the colour not enough.

涂完眼影, 接下来就是涂眼线。他们的眼线笔弄得我头晕晕，实在太多选择了，而且包装很类似，我也分不清楚呢！后来看看下问朋友，才搞清楚眼线笔有以上6 支。笔装的分圆头和扁头，各分巧克力色以及黑色。水墨的则有粗和细。Mr Tanabe说上眼皮线用黑色笔化，下眼皮用巧克力色笔（只化眼睛的1/3部分），那么看起来才自然。在眼尾化翘上来的感觉使眼睛看起来比较大时，建议是用水墨的会比较好。

Next we would be using eye liner. Their eyeliners make me dizzy as too much selections and at the same time they look almost the same. I was blur and in trouble finding the correct one. After asking my friend, then I only know there are total 6 eyeliners. There are 2 tips for pencil- round tip and flat head tip, with chocolate and black respectively. For liquid type, the difference in between are just the level of finest. Mr Tanabe said we need to use black pencil to draw upper eyelids and brown colour to draw down eyelids (1/3 of the eye), so that the overall look is more natural. For the line at the end of the eye corner, he recommended to use liquid type to draw. (The right way is to draw the line 'up' so that the eyes look bigger)

化完后，最后上睫毛膏。大家都好奇要化完3支吗？Mr Tanabe说是的，在日本，那边的女性都用超过1支的睫毛膏！他还说，用这3支时，我们无需使用睫毛夹，都可以使到睫毛自然卷翘。不过是有步骤的，不能随便掉乱次序使用。我已经排好了，先用Volume Lash Fiber，再用Lash Curl Express。在使用第二支时，必须注意在睫毛尾端停留好几秒，以让它自然卷翘。最后是Lash Sculpture，这一支也是很特别，因为睫毛膏里面的刷子是梳子形状的，所以可以把前面残留块状的睫毛膏扫掉，非常好用。

To finish the eyes makeover, mascara is important. We are so curious we need to use 3 of these? Mr Tanabe said yes. He said in Japan, girl uses more than 1 mascara to complete the look. He added we no need to use eye lash curler when using these 3 mascaras together. But we need to follow step by step. First, we applied Volume Lash Fiber, followed by Lash Curl Express. When using the second one, we need to stop at the edge of lashes for few seconds to make them curl. Last, we used Lash Sculpture. The brush in Lash Sculpture looks like comb. It is very useful as it can comb all the residual lumps of mascara off the lashes.

这是我化完了睫毛膏的图片 ^^

I have done my eyes part ^^

最后涂上lip gloss便搞定咯！

For lip, we just apply lip gloss!

这还未在本地发行的产品，当天是Mr Tanabe拿出自己的私藏让我们化腮红，包装是不是很美呢？

The above product yet to be launched in Malaysia. Mr Tanabe lent us his collections of blusher to finish our makeover. Does the packaging nice?

Shibuya 女孩的妆容已经完成。
