Shirunuri Make Up! By Minori

Shironuri really takes the dollish look to new dimensions. It kind of reminds me of a delicate porcelain tea set. But instead of teacups and saucers it's living people.  If you're not familiar with the term it's not really complicated at all - it's basically a make up style where you paint your face completely white. Like a chalk.

Apart from that it's not unusual to ad other elements such as gemstones, flower petals, beautifully placed eyeshadow, more creepy appearances and a long list of creative ways to decorate your face. The sky is the limit, and the result is a surreal kind of beauty.

The two pictures above are of Minori. I admire this woman so much!

Minori is a big shironuri icon, and her very inspiring looks have brought attention to this flamboyant style. While I have certainly found a few tutorials and instructions on this topic, I was really happy to see a tutorial by Minori herself pop up in my youtube recomendations.




Even though I don't necessarily plan on getting into this kind of make up myself (at this current moment anyway) I find it very inspiring and interesting to look at. I think what makes it so enchanting are the contrasts. It's like soft water colors, popping out from the paper, coming alive. The Walking Art Much? Sorry... Either way, I really hope these people will keep inspire others to do what makes them happy, and help us see what wonderfully beautiful things can be achieved when we do.
