What are some good hair/makeup tips for japanese/lolita styles?

Keep in mind LOLITA IS NOT A COSTUME. It is a fashion.

First of all, ditch the thick black eyeliner. Lolita focuses on being classy and modest but still _(punk, cute, goth, ect.) Even the darkest of goth lolitas don’t where a lot of makeup unless it is a costume.

Depending on the style of lolita, you may need to put more or less makeup (or even close to nothing.)

As for your hair, the color doesn’t matter. Slightly blown out pigtails are acceptable for most of the styles of lolita. A single ponytail is frowned upon. If you want to leave it down, try adding some hairclips, accesories, ect. This also depends on the style you chose.

So basicly:

Want sweet/cute? Think little girl. Or cake, yum. Soft, minimal makeup and girly hair. Lots of little details that all work tward makeing you look like a dessert. C:

Goth? Think victorian. Dark and defined but still minimal makeup. Modest, rich colours (black, navy, dark red, ect.)

Remember: ELEGANCE, CLASS, AND MODESTY

Hope this helps!!
