Visual Kei Extravaganza!





Oh how long I've wanted to do a Visual Kei look! It's been frequently requested as well and since Halloween is coming up, what better time to do it? If you're unfamiliar with what Visual Kei is, please read this Wikipedia article. In short, it's a style of dress, flamboyant hairstyles, makeup and culture associated with a popular form of music, which is a mixture of rock, metal and punk. The Visual Kei movement originated in Japan in the late 80s and 90s, but has spread to other parts of the world over time.

Liebe Julia,

leider scheint das Video in D nicht verfügbar zu sein. Vielleicht benutzt Du ein Lied als Hintergrund, dessen Verwendung irgendwelche Rechte verletzt?

Wie schade, warum ist das Video in Deutschland nicht verfügbar *schnief ?! Wegen musical content? Kannst du es nicht einfach nochmal in einer Zweitversion für alle deutschen Fans hochladen? - das wäre so lieb von dir! Es sieht nämlich allein schon auf den Stills so FANTASTISCH aus ;)!

LG,
Judith.

Oh God... this look is awesome! YOU'RE AWESOME!!! You did a great job recreating a Visual Key type of makeup. I've got a friend who is a total fan of this kind of music, and I'm sure she would love it as well :)

Rianne said...

Love the jewels :) and the MO polish goes with the look.

Vielen vielen Dank für den re-upload ♥!! Die fehlende Musik tut dem grandiosen Make-up schließlich auch keinen Abbruch ;)

Liebe Grüße,

Thanks so much for this tutorial! I've been looking for something similar for a potential VK photoshoot! *followed*

Strange, I just got a subscribers email about this post in my inbox again, 18 days after Halloween! I thought it was going to be a new Visual Kei tutorial

ČħεαиΖ™ said...

Is this look based on Nightmare's Hitsugi? It looks pretty similar, but this looks much more glam~!
