Her natural face is not ugly, just "average". It's kind of sad she's so happy to hear "you look like a different person".
I also think that social media(tiktok, reels etc) makes people feel uglier than average. 10 years ago the homepage used to be just people who you follow, average people who you know and a few influencers/celebs you like and have selected yourself. Now the home page is selected by the algorithm, and most of those people are much prettier than average. Celebrities and models have always existed but I think most people knew that those people are very beautiful which is why they are there, and not just anyone can appear on the tv. Not to mention people spent much more time interacting with real, average people in their hometown communities. On social media anyone can post and many people still think the popular ones are just average people with good videos, so the perceived "average face" has become an "under average face" or even ugly. It might take a long time for this to improve as so much time is spent on social media and online now.
Maybe Japan has a different beauty standard?
@@AlteraLinShe's actually average-pretty for Japan. Her face shape is very average but her skin is so good and healthy, also the color of her skin makes that specific makeup style look really good on her. The only "issue" is that her eyes are a bit uneven and heavy, but people here actually aren't obsessed with looks. If she goes out with that face no one's gonna tell her she look ugly or anything. Girls are taught that looking put together is good manners, but that also includes dressing well all the time, having you hair done all the time, having you nails clean and polished. It's about a polished image really, not about "hiding your hideous face to not offend anyone".
This girl is just very insecure and it seems her husband doesn't really help her with it. How she has children with him and all yet still feels that she must be grateful because he decided to marry her is sad as shit and a huge red flag.
@@ughlwtmechangerhisthabks8349agree
It probably makes her sad to be called average looking. It's basically saying ugly.
If anything, I actually respect how skillful she is, as a makeup artist
I'm surprised there was not a massive difference.
she's naturally nice looking. makeup only changed her a little bit. I've seen much more extreme changes that makeup can do.
@@anony3615 A little bit? she looks completely different.
@@anony3615 Bro...We can be honest and say that was a whole ass transformation. No need to sugar coat it 😂
She is cute on her own, but yeah. The difference in looks and vibe is night and day
Quite skilled indeed!
#SaveSoil #ConsciousPlanet 🌸
Balance in all things.
I appreciate skills and I hope humans live their lifes without being forced to have a fake self and superficial life.
I liked that she didn't resort to surgeries to make herself look better. Honestly, I don't think she looks bad without makeup. She seems like a likeable person too. I really admire her makeup skills!
It's sad that she thinks that she doesn't look cute without makeup, maybe she looks average but there's nothing wrong with that either!
Surgery in Japan is not accepted as well as Korea and China, in fact, it's not. If people find out you're pretty because of surgery it will be worst than just being naturally not that beautiful.
Also is worth mentioning that the plastic surgery industry in Japan isn't as developed as the one in Korea, it's bad and expensive. And the result is way too obvious, which isn't desirable
Actually a lot of makeup influencers like her dont do plastic surgeries to look prettier cuz that way they will get more views and people love their before/after transformation
@@ughlwtmechangerhisthabks8349 how do you know this?
When I heard Ashiura saying she’s aware she’s not pretty I felt extremely sad. Personally I find her a beautiful person also without makeup. Especially when she smiles.
it's because everyone compares themselves to models, tv actors and photoshopped magazine images. When she compares to them she won't feel good.
So that’s why women in the United States have an Ego problem and inflate their value from a 3 to a 10. Now we have 300 pound women who believe they’re 10’s.
Let people live reality not lies. This lady has found her solution. Someone will accept her as is
Lmao stop capping. the average japanese/korean girl is a 3/10 without makeup
@@andrewmire979 it's not cap, when you used to see people without makeup. Their smile and confidence will make them looks charming and pretty, and when they use makeup it will make them so pretty
Some people’s personality and attitude are not even worth 3/10, like that person above (andrew something) making the rude comment.
Makeup or no makeup, she looks her best when she's happy. That's everyone though. :)
Really interesting perspective, thanks for this.
Exactly my thoughts. When she smiles, she looks cute even without the futae.
It broke my heart when she said "I know I am ugly"😭
I don't think she is ugly at all! Such a cute person and the make up only her best features. Her makeup skill is so good! And how wonderful of her that she wants to be a role model for people who can't or don't want to go through with surgery 🥺
Not everyone is considered conventionally attractive... and that's ok.
@@PerrySkyePhoenixWhy do you guys feel the need to downplay a compliment. Op said that she was cute not drop dead gorgeous. It’s okay to be average but it’s also okay to call people beautiful
@@thefaultinourstars8729fr everyone is beautiful in there own way she is very beautiful and her skin is perfect :)
@@thefaultinourstars8729 I feel like the person above is saying that it’s the pressure itself to be “beautiful”. (sorry if im wrong)
Like people re saying that they’re sad or heartbroken that she describes herself ugly, but I think these are actually the comments that might make her feel sad. Don’t get me wrong I like her appearance, but everyone knows that her facial features don’t really fit the Japanese beauty standards. She must have been called ugly or made fun of for her face if she thinks she’s that ugly. And now with all these people saying it’s so “unfortunate” that she doesn’t think she’s beautiful, my question is what is she supposed to do?
It's worrisome that wearing make up is considered good manners when there isn't a male equivalent for it...this pressure must be a silent but constant source of stress for Japanese women
Ehm,.. I think you'll find similar requirements for men. Six packs? Shaved faces? Suits? Ever heard of those? They tend to use make up less, though Korean men are more up to that.
@@chubbymoth5810 It's not hard to shave your face and put on a suit. Or at least, women are expected to have the same level of fashion sense and hygene as men. So why are women ALSO under so much more pressure to change their facial features- something they can't do without permanent mutilation (surgery) or hiding behind a mask of makeup every day? It's sad for both genders, but you have to admit there's more pressure in this area for women.
@@chubbymoth5810suits are out of fashion, everyone wears baggy and oversized clothes, beards are extremely popular and skinny guys without six packs are the most desired type of guys to women.
@@inedanap6253 yea but if you ask most men, they would much prefer their girl never wore makeup. its only a few guys, mostly women, and media that promotes this nonsense. also, if women werent so weak, then they wouldnt care about others opinions
@@moritzwagner4332yeah beards are considered attractive by westerners not easterners so that’s why and men also get plastic surgery in Japan but it’s not as destigmatized as Korea both men and women get surgery like it’s normal
she did not change in such a radical way. I've seen there is a lot more extreme cases in the net in which they really paint their whole face and neck and with that they appear to have deeper features, a smaller face, etc etc which is really visually striking...
Exactly!! She looks the same, just enhanced her natural beauty a little bit.
You've seen filters or light filters with face shaping tools like face putty, face lift tapes, nose lift pegs and nose lifting gauze technique. If you saw those faces in real life they'd look like grotesque masks, but on camera with front facing lighting and filters it looks more realistic.
here's the danger of filters on social media: most human faces look 'average', they have lines, wrinkles, acne spots, discoloration. Very few people are born in the world with exceptionally beautiful face and perfect skin, but the influencers on social media make us feel like that is the norm rather than exception. They lie about their 'natural face' while using filters and it makes normal looking people insecure about their looks. The big makeup companies and plastic surgeons then earn major bucks selling the 'perfect face' to us
Women have been wearing makeup even before filters and social media. Back then they were putting toxic shyt on their face that’s not going to change. People can do what they want they go over board that’s their own problem
For a lot of East Asians, having that double eyelid is really what most wants. I didn't know this until moving and interacting with East Asians (Japanese, Koreans and Chinese). I look full Chinese but I'm a mix, my Japanese and Chinese friends often would say my eyes are big...but growing up in SEA, I was teased for having small eyes lol Getting to experience a country where my eyes are 'small' and another where my eyes are 'big' made me realize, I don't care 😂
My friend once said some wise words 'Meh, this is my face. I'll live with it until I die. Meh' 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m mixed too living in South East Asia. I used to hate my big eyes because the sunlight but most importantly I got bullied for it during elementary school. I lived in majority Chinese and others who are mixed like me. I guess I got attention from the teacher, and the other got jealous. Now that I looked back it seems to be the case. The bullying got so bad that my mom had to sit with me in a class for a year, then we changed school. To this day, I cringed whenever my Chinese friends said I’m cute. I don’t know it is just so weird. I don’t actually care now. I just want to live peacefully.
I find it sad, that we live in a world where a woman doesn't dare to leave the house without make up anymore..
Girls are taught that looking put together is good manners, but that also includes dressing well all the time, having you hair done all the time, having you nails clean and polished. It's about a polished image really, not about "hiding your hideous face to not offend anyone".
That’s because men only get attracted to women’s appearances, not personalities. Looks are in first place for most men. So you can’t change that by telling them to stop doing it
I find it very cool that she's great at make up especially using stuff at a budget price
Plenty of pricy make up stuffs are useless🤮
its not cool
True
Woman can change their look where men cannot. Woman have the advantage of options.
@@cre8iveone699 Men have physical advantages. Men don't need to suffer the deathly giving birth process. Men don't need to sacrifice their careers to stay at home to take care of children and families. Men aren't raped, kidnaped, abused, sexual harrassed as much as women suffered,...etc...
It's been a while since I've watched your videos and I absolutely enjoy them since this is a way to see the real Japan without the filters of pretty culture and the touristy attractions
Agreed! It's very refreshing to see things as they are and not how we are lead to believe they are.
I know I’m just a girl but I’m being 100% honest when I say this:
Her face with no makeup does not seem average to me. She is beautiful. I’m not lying or being nice. I can’t be the only one who sees the beauty in every person. I don’t get it, makeup is nice and whatever but nothing beats the natural beauty of a human being. I just don’t see eye to eye with the rest of the world it seems. Ladies, love yourselves and add makeup to that lovely person. Don’t do it to cover up an “ugly” you. Sometimes all we have to love us is ourselves, and we won’t even grant ourselves that? :,(
completely agree!! and I am 59 -- former makeup artist.
Someone else that gets it :D
To me she looks definitely pretty without makeup. Great skin, great high cheekbones.
I used to be like this, around puberty: I had very bad cystic acne and feared going ANYWHERE without makeup, even the doctor when I was sick.
For me, this began to develop into a problem, where I was crippled without makeup and no one recognized me without it; a lengthy illness changed this, as I physically could no longer apply it and didn't leave the house for months on end.
Overall, I'm happy that this broke my dependency and forced me to see myself without it. I won't tell other people how to feel (especially from completely different cultures) but for me, the makeup was actually a problem.
Best of luck to her, she is quite skilled, I only hope that maybe she can feel more secure without it, if only so that there is less anxiety in her life ✌️
It's very sad.
"I can't go to the supermarket with this face"
I can't even imagine hating yourself like this and thinking so much about other people's opinion.
The opposite is just as bad. When people love themselves too much and become narcissistic also brings other types of problems. People in the west are just as obsessed with themselves but with too much self-confidence & self-entitlement.
What exactly has what you just said to do with the subject? If someone doesn’t give a box of beans on others opinions that is self entitlement? The western people are entitled but the others are all humble and respectful? Salute
@@monicastorbeck2238 Seems like you have a reading comprehension problem, Karen. Here is what the OP said & why I responded the way I did: "I can't go to the supermarket with this face"
---- I can't even imagine hating yourself like this and thinking so much about other people's opinion.--- She thinks that what the japanese said is "self-hating", basing it on her western point of view but not considering that the Japanese woman doesn't think or act like a westerner. I don't expect you to understand since you're not Japanese, so you don't know what she really meant by what she said that she can't go out to the supermarket with this face. Self-hate for one culture is different to another. You think that the way you talk is ok to other cultures. I even think that you assumed that I am a westerner when I'm an Asian living in Asia.
You think that everyone thinks like you & you expect people to understand you but you don't care to understand people different from you, hence your sarcastic comment. "Salute" back at you.
@@monicastorbeck2238 oh yeah, if not for the hundreds of "Lard-Acceptance" TH-cam videos by clinically obese westerners, single mothers with many kids from different boyfriends, saying they deserve a faithful man to support their dream lifestyle while complaining that men are scum & single women who say they deserve to have Chris Hemsworth-looking, multimillionaire husbands while sleeping around with dozens of men acting like a garden tool doesn't scream entitlement and rating themselves 10/10 in looks while wearing tons of makeup, fake lashes & photoshop while saying most men are unattractive in the west, then I don't know what that is.
@@leonaj.5835 That's silly. You're using another extreme to condone another. Just live your life fully without worrying about strangers opinions. What's the point of being so scared of other people, are eastern people so petty to treat you badly if you go to the supermarket without makeup?
It wasn't the make up that makes her beautiful, but when she puts its on it's like a mask and when her real smile comes out and lights up her face. She was beautiful without the makeup. But i can see the confidence boost it gives her when it goes on.
They could get thicker eyebrows..like tattoo
I’m glad I live in a society that doesn’t place that much emphasis on looks and you can still look bare faced when you go out and nobody bats an eyelid.
I have similar eyelids like hers and can relate to her. Cosplay makeup definitely helped me to brush up my confidence in myself (though I’m semi-retired these days)
which society is that?
@@arnabdas7019 Lots of places in Western Europe really prefer no-makeup on women. You'll see thousands of bare faced women in France, Scandinavia, Germany, Austria, Spain, Greece and Portugal etc., and also many places in the US and Canada as well. You can find thousands more in African countries, Southeast Asian countries and Polynesian islands as well just to name a few. Where are you from?
@@tisbutascratch2045 they still relay on looks, the only reason Africa doesn’t relay on makeup much is because they don’t have the resources to and the cities in Africa that do also use a lot of makeup
I showed this video to my mom, and her response was to learn how to do make up like hers. I think this matrer has been ingrained into society through generations, and not just now
Wow, that’s amazing, almost unbelievable. I’m not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand, it’s great that inexpensive makeup can make her feel so much better about herself, but on the other hand it’s so sad that she can’t feel OK about herself without it 😢
Do you also know what makes the big difference between her photo with and without makeup?
In the second one she is smiling, she sabotages herself when she doesn't wear makeup, of course I understand the social pressure to use it, but at the end of the day a smiling face works wonders.
Disagree. She is really cute without makeup.
The comparison shot is not ok. In the makeup Foto she smiles and has her eyes open, and without she has a frown.
If she smiles, very very minor makeup would be more than enough for make her look cute.
So I disagree that she has too feel insecure. Lost of guys would find her attractive.
WHY SHE PUT THAT SHIT ON THEN!?!! What are you people saying!? It's fckn nonsense!!!
I agree. I don't think the difference was very great. Mostly, it was putting color on her cheeks and lips, making her look not so pale, and combing her hair in an attractive way. I would have like to see her before without makeup, but with her hair and expression the same. I don't think there would be that much difference.
I'm not sure I agree, totally.
Consider: without makeup she is feeling insecure and vulnerable.
With makeup she is feeling confident and pretty.
Right there her expression or the way she conveys her face is going to change.
I used to help make armor for jousters, and when I modeled a suit of armor I was amazed at how confident and powerful I looked. "In costume" I was a different person.
Also, due to her techniques, her eyes look larger and more attentive, that opens up her face into a more positive expression.
I'm not saying that her mopey first picture is unaffected, but maybe not as much as we might presume.
@@juniperpansy 🙄

I have a weird relationship with makeup. I don't like how I look without it. It can be fun to put on, even though I find it really hard, so I like the process of applying it. But then once I have it on I don't like it because I look so different and whenever I see myself I feel weird because I feel like I'm looking at a different person.
Yes I feel the same. I feel both good and bad when I get compliments/attention because on one hand it’s nice but on the other it’s not really me there complimenting/admiring but the face I paint on. It makes it hard to wear makeup
Honestly, if you stop wearing makeup completely for a whole month you might actually learn to prefer your no-makeup face more than the other. I rarely ever wear makeup and when I do, it has to be natural or else I feel I look strange and uncanny. I can see your face in your profile picture and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the way you look. Society's pressures are way too harsh these days. We need to take it easy and just enjoy life. Ever since I let go of makeup, I'm enjoying mine 😌🙏🏼
I’m opposite I find putting it on tedious but I love to after effect esp for a big night out. I also embrace my natural bare face 5 days a week at gym and work
I remember seeing my first girlfriend from Japan without makeup for the first time. I was surprised she actually thought she needed to wear it and I told her so. She explained it's a women's thing in Japan and most women wouldn't go out of the door without makeup. Later even in the gym I noticed women would wear makeup. It was so weird and somehow I still cannot understand.
It's not much different in North America
It's like clothes for your face. Personally I don't like it. It makes your face feel cakey and heavy
Same thing happens in the USA
@@thelostmessenger Removing clothes doesn't usually make someone you are familiar with look like a complete stranger. But I think I understand what you are getting at, even though I don't agree.
@@sekiro3074 Actually it's all the same all over the world lol. Majority of women would likely wear make up in public place
Story about bare face. I met my husband during swimming lessons. He was already very good swimmer. I was intermediate. During swimming, we are all bare faced, wet hair, wearing swimming suit. To me, this is ideal. We got to see the real person, including body imperfections - bow legged, curved back, flat ass, bunion feet, etc. He seized me up, I did him the same. We're married for 35 years now. So, in my opinion, ask your date to go swimming. You can check each other out. If she/ he is a good swimmer, it's a bonus.😂
I love this. You both sound like wonderful people and I’m glad you met
Ashiura-San you are not ugly! You have a beautiful smile!
Of course make up make a difference but you are wrong when you think your ugly!
I feel so sad when I see women treating themselves as not worthy if they are not beautiful all the time.
We are much more than our looks
We should be proud of ourselves
She looks so cute with or without makeup.
But I understand how she feels. I also feel insecure with my bare skin mainly because I was humongous pores, thin skin, and lots of blemishes. when I see many people in Japan who have supposedly beautiful skin, I feel extremely insecure and sad so I always have to wear makeup when I go to Tokyo or a big city lol.
In the end though, I wish we could all be truly happy with our appearances and nothing would make us feel insecure because I strongly feel people look more cuter (and beautiful) without makeup. And friendlier too xD
She’s looks beautiful either way. I think confidence can be attained by a good daily skin routine to keep your face as scrupulously clean and free of spots as possible. Especially important during those troublesome teenage years.
Yeah, frequent gentle cleansing and more even more frequent moisturising I feel has really taken my skin to the next level. And it doesn't even have to be too expensive, some cheap basic stuff works well too.
I can tell you don’t do skincare from this comment lmfao
I wish people would stop throwing the word "beautiful" around so frivolously. I know it's all about being inclusive and PC these days. But beautiful is really only for about 10% of all women. Otherwise the word loses all meaning.
@@Bubbles-od2tv Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. When God looks at you - something He created - does He see an ugly person or do you think He looks at you and sees something He made that is very, VERY GOOD?
Wow hats off to her skill! It takes a lot to analyze and then practice the skills too, I really respect that. I know what she means with that makeup enables her to go outside confidently and I'm happy there's ways to help with that :)
Also I love how she makes it look so natural and it's even cuter when she smiles :3
On the other hand a society where you feel like you cannot show your natural face is pretty depressing. I know people judge looks everywhere on earth but in asia it's extra harsh :(
I used to not go out without, too. But in the last years smh I got a bit more confident and also .. started caring less :D now I can go out with or without. Just depending on my mood and if there's a certain vibe I wanna go for. It's freeing to feel all the options I have are viable :)
Hmm… I kind of admire that even though she may not like her looks she has made peace with it. And like she says, she has someone who loves her for her which is pretty amazing… he knows the truth and still values her. In an ironic way, she’s very lucky as many “prettier” people struggle to find someone who wants them for them.
I have a very negative relationship with makeup, my stepmother used to treat me like sht when I was a kid and were alone/private, but whenever someone came or we went for dinner or other social events she would put a lot of makeup and remember people looked at her like "So pretty, she could do no wrong", like if she were hiding her hideous inside with a makeup mask, so anytime I meet people in general who use it a lot, like radical change lot, I always have that thought in my mind"what are you hiding?", I know not everyone is like that, but most women I've dated that use it excessively have skeletons in the closet or very nasty attitudes, I can't look at that and not think that I'm not meeting you, I'm meeting "you".
like the girl in the video, many women are just hiding physical insecurities, developing a nasty personality is something else..
My mother would do the same. I have such a hatred for ASMR partly because the sound of her rifling through her makeup bag, that plastic clinking sound, sends me into PTSD territory. She used to call me fat and would force me to dress badly and then berate me for looking bad. She did a lot of other heinous things, but this is just the makeup reference. On that note, I don't think it's necessarily the amount of makeup, but the style of makeup that makes me wary of a woman (I'm female, straight, but have a lot of trust issues with women). Either way, I agree that makeup says a lot about the person.
This is named as hallo effect and pretty privilege
I wish I can hug you so I can comfort you and getting rid of your negative, toxic memories of that evil woman. I'm sorry to hear that my friend
@@SenpaiSentaibruh
i love how she is married and has someone who loves her for HER. this is very rare nowadays
Plenty of ugli ppl get married. Even rapist has a wife 💩
Not rare
The male equivalent of this would be driving a fancy car or wearing expensive watches and clothing to appear more "wealthy", but in reality they are broke or in debt. Both sexes have their ways of trying to manipulate how other people perceive them. Part of dating is trying to figure out how much the other person is trying to manipulate your view of them. There is nothing wrong with trying to appear nice in public, but since dating is more intimate people tend to want to know the "real" person before investing emotionally in that person. Anyone would feel cheated if what they thought what was "real" turned out to be fake.
Faking wealth is costly and rare, whereas 90% of younger single women wear makeup in the developed world. At this point, I see men wearing makeup becoming the norm within the next 25 years, along with shoe lifts, hair pieces and clothing with padded shoulders, all to fraud a better appearance. Also, cosmetic surgery will increase more for men as well, along with steroids, which have already dramatically increased in the past decade.
@@librarycard3748 Faking wealth is costly yes, however it is not rare. I used to work in the mortgage sector. I would say that from what I saw in the area I worked in (on of the 7 largest metros in the US) that people making over $100,000 were spending way more than they made. A good percentage were spending well over 70% of their income of debts alone, this was not including any student loan debt. For people making under $50,000 there were no better off. "People buy things they can't afford to impress people they don't like"
@@redtiger7268 Life for show, snobbery, rarer in Europe, except for countries like Russia, there it is common, i-phones, cars etc, on credit and credit on credit. It's like reading about the Russians.
It's crazy women want genuine men. 😂
@@redtiger7268 I'd argue that more rich men play down their wealth and dress modestly to find out a woman's true character than do poor men fraud being wealthy to get laid. It's expensive to live, no shortage of things to buy and with housing being insanely expensive in many places, yeah people are in massive debt, although mortgage debt often pays off in the end if the housing market is hot.
Makeup is stressful. It makes me feel beautiful and makes me very mad. Having to spend all this time before leaving the house often is a reason that I stay in because I don't want to go through all the time and effort. I love how I look in makeup but also sometimes get angry about this huge inconvenience. No matter what they say, men don't want to see us without makeup.
Don't worry. Not all men are jerks.
There is this old Polish saying. There are no ugly women, only lack of wine.
I prefer Ice King's line: "A hole is a hole".
@@AlteraLin ah yes also if there's a hole there's a goal
I respect this woman she's very skilled, I started to learn makeup techniques after see Japanese, corean & thai girls techniques on 2000's by magazine but now I can see them here on Internet and understand how society works there , thanks for your information 👏
I can't speak for everyone, but I personally prefer little to no makeup on a woman. It makes me sad that women feel that they need makeup to be beautiful.
She's beautiful, hearing her talk about how she's "not pretty" and wants to "hide my face" is so heartbreaking.
I hope you read this and know you are pretty, in fact your beautiful because it shines from within you, but even based on surface level, your face is extremely pretty.
It's so sad to hear people think and talk about themselves this way.
We live in a generation where everyone wants to look the same. That look varies from countries, nations, regions, etc but they all have a standard set look of what's considered beautiful.
We're not meant to look the same, embrace your original features, it's what makes you unique, it's what makes you, you!
I know makeup is a fun way to express yourself and get creative and if you want to transform yourself one day then something completely different the next, that's fine, have fun express yourself. But never be ashamed of who you are or how you look.
i always go out bare-faced, not because i’m confident with how I look, but I’m just too lazy to be bothered about what people will say about how i look 😅 i wish to learn how to do make up too.
There's a saying "Ugly woman doesn't exist, only lazy woman does". My boss tried to use this on me and I said "Poor woman too" indicating he didn't pay me enough to buy make ups 🤣
The more natural the better.
And I have no idea how to do makeup at all! I can do mascara though. I think it's pretty amazing what you can do with makeup but at the same time, I'd be terrified someone would see my real face and peace out - lol. I knew a girl who was getting married and everyday she was dating, she'd wake up before her bf and put on makeup. I was like why and she was like omfg I can't let him see me like that! WAT?! They ended up divorcing for other reasons but I really feel bad for people who feel that pressure. If you can't love me at my worst, you don't get me at my best.
best phrase ever, the last thing you said. it's disappointing how people are too interested in looking good than to act good. vainity always existed but narcisism, people looking for validation through looks I think is increasing and it bothers me a lot.
I wish western women would wear pretty make up.
Bruh they do.

@@chrystianaw8256 most of them wear browns and beige's and that's it.
A big problem with her no makeup face is that she's so insecure that she's almost making a scowl(I'm talking about in the video not the thumbnail). Also her eyes look angry. If she could put on that happy face without the makeup she would be very attractive! Even with the angry face she's still somewhat attractive though.
Don't be so superficial, don't focus on your look, what is wrong with y'all!?
I mean even in the picture of her as a child she has the same face, I think it’s just her eye shape not her scowling.
@@SuperBluekite I disagree. If you look at her with partial makeup(without anything on her eyes) her eyes dont look like that. As soon as she starts to put makeup on, her eyes open up more and dont look angry. Because she starts to feel better about herself. Though I do agree that her eyes pretty much looked the same as a child. Because I think she has had this complex her whole life. Like she said, in school people would tell her to stop staring daggers at them. Since she feels unattractive she puts out the look of "dont talk to me".
@@nekozaemon3803 Who's being superficial? I'm being realistic. Just because people like you say "don't pay attention to peoples looks" doesn't mean that the world will listen. We live in the real world. Everyone wants to be attractive. And yes those kind of looks are important. Nobody wants to approach someone that looks angry all the time. Thats not superficial thats a normal reaction. So like I was saying all she has to do is look less angry. I said she's beautiful without makeup. You're telling me that was superficial? What is that some kind of a joke? I couldn't have said anything less superficial.
let me tell you, she is not making a scowl. it just how monolid eye looks like. I know some people with same eyes in real life.
She looks lovely with & without makeup. Beautiful skin.
In my country if you don’t wear make up you would get questions like “Are you okay? Are you sick? Maybe you should take day off??” Lol
Like they aren’t used to your bare face without and they think there’s something wrong with you and you might be ill😂
once my boss sent me for two days off (paid, of course) because he thought I was sick. But I was just sleepy and without makeup...
What country do you live?

That woman is quite beautiful without makeup an her babies are very adorable
She's not beautiful bro, come on. I will not accept that nonsense anymore
Sorry dude goes to show you prefer the outside of a woman then the inside, that sadly says a lot about you man
@@nekozaemon3803 it's his opinion. It's not for you to accept it. He's entitled to find whomever he likes beautiful
@@chrystianaw8256 well i have an opinion too, you know
@@chrystianaw8256 Okay yeah gotta point there, different perspective is all and well should be who accepts who
I am live in SEA where make up is not a society pressure. Sure there are jobs where appearance are important and thus makeup is needed but most of the time, women won't be ridicule if they use little or no make up at all.
As a guy, I prefer girl´s natural looks. I don´t mind when they use light make up though.
Heavy make up usually have a cool and big impact on someone´s appearence, but you never know who you are exactly looking at xD and I might end up feeling like I am being fooled xD When it´s for fun it´s okay, I guess, but on a daily/casual level....
But I mean, this is just my personal opinion though, people are free to use make up however they see fit~ ;D
Love the end results, it looks natural and not overly dramatic or garish.
Well done , Aisan
Im so amazed with her makeup skill, cuz I rarely wearing makeup so i didn't know much about makeup not because i can't afford it but because my skin is really really really sensitive to makeup product.. so im kinda avoiding to wear makeup if its not that urgent, so seeing her doing her makeup is like watching an artist doing the painting we can't wait to see the art result in the end
She's such a beautiful woman with and without makeup!
She really does a good job with her makeup though. It's nice to know that she shares her knowledge with others 🥰
I feel like the main difference between her before and after photos is just that she is confident in the after and is smiling and looks happy. She looks just as lovely before. The beauty industry is the biggest scam - it makes people feel they’re ugly to sell crap they don’t need. It’s so sad to hear her say she feels she wouldn’t be able to get married or date with her perfectly fine face.
She look fine without make up. I personally never wear make up. Don't like the way if feels on my face.
No. She doesn't. Some people are just unlucky like that, all you can do is accept this and move on, not lie to yourself. There's a difference between confidence and delusion. If everybody is beautiful then nobody is, that how that sht works
@@nekozaemon3803 chill?
@@nekozaemon3803 it's subjective
@@UzumakiHarutoJP then why she use makeup then huh? There are beauty STANDARDS bro.
@@nekozaemon3803 yea she's definitely not beautiful but she's not that ugly either, no matter what someone will have to marry her
Same case no matter how ugly and poor a man is, he will get married still, this is the reality lol
She is very pretty either way. The make-up looks obviously dashing, but also her "plain" face is beautiful. It's a shame she doesn't realize that herself.
Am I the only one that didn't find the difference except her eyes get a little bigger? She still really cute and pretty with makeup or no makeup. Looks the same to me, I thought it would be like a big transformation
I honestly believe that makeup should enhance your natural look, not change your look completely
Exactly, the woman in the video has deep complexes.
I don't think her face changed that much 🤔 She looks the same, but like you mentioned, she just enhanced her natural beauty. The only big difference was the eye shape.
@@Dress_up.kat_ 😑
I get beauty class and beauty manner in my school and college. So makeup and good dresses is must when I go out, and somehow makeup is just my weapon and convidence
im not even trying to be dramatic but shes so pretty without makeup! like her skin is quite clear and bright and her features are nice too
honestly it’s just her eyes that change the most. the rest of her face remains pretty much the same. she has a nice, even and clear complexion, thick hair, full lips, defined jawline. she’s actually quite pretty, her eyes just distract from that.
i hope this girl knows that she's beautiful even without makeup. though i'm happy that she has found what works for her with makeup and that it makes her feel better about herself, there is a lot of internalised issues that she has to work out. i wish the best for her!
She actually looks good without makeup too!! I don't see why she needs to feel insecure. She's beautiful!
As a woman who loves makeup too, I think every human being is unique and beautiful no matter what color, size or race you have. Wearing makeup is just a plus, a bonus and, an enhancer for the natural features that we already have. Beauty standards and ideals will always change throughout the history but nothing beats the "inner beauty" of being kind to others.
I don't agree, some people are just ugly, I had a neighbor like that, older than me, he was so ugly that even his mother must have thought he is ugly.
That also includes you.@@malkontentniepoprawny6885
She is pretty even without makeup the issue is just hey eyebrows let them grow in naturally and she'll see a huge difference.
She is already beautiful even with a bare face. I was expecting something of a drastic change on her "after" look. But she still looks like herself and with a little boost of confidence from the makeup. Beautiful before and after. Beautiful on the side as well, as that's what matters.
I relate to her so much so I subscribed through this video. Thank you for making me aware of her skills relevant to myself
Is.... is this why no one could recognize Sailor Moon in the anime??
Because that girl looks straight up the same before and after. She's beautiful.
False eyelashes and dash of glitter make you unrecognizable??
Makeup is terrifying stuff. Thank you for your riveting report, Nobi-kun 😳.
Good can be be terrifying stuff. Out of control sex can be terrifying stuff, driving drunk is terrifying stuff and escalating divorce rates is terrifying stuff and domestic violence is terrifying stuff. Why, because these things many men hide like wearing like makeup unlike makeup cannot be wash off every day with water.
She is VERY good at makeup..it is a talent
I also think that social media(tiktok, reels etc) makes people feel uglier than average. 10 years ago the homepage used to be just people who you follow, average people who you know and a few influencers/celebs you like and have selected yourself. Now the home page is selected by the algorithm, and most of those people are much prettier than average. Celebrities and models have always existed but I think most people knew that those people are very beautiful which is why they are there, and not just anyone can appear on the tv. Not to mention people spent much more time interacting with real, average people in their hometown communities. On social media anyone can post and many people still think the popular ones are just average people with good videos, so the perceived "average face" has become an "under average face" or even ugly. It might take a long time for this to improve as so much time is spent on social media and online now.
She is beautiful with and without makeup, at least in my opinion. I’m glad she’s able to find confidence and happiness with makeup though, and has a partner who loves her and her no-makeup face as well.
She looked the same, just with a little make up on. I was expecting a dramatic difference, but the main difference is just that she’s smiling and happy with the makeup on compared to when she’s not wearing it
I'm glad you made this video as it touches on a question I have wanted to pose for many years but didn't thinking that it would sound offensive...
I greatly admire Japan, but one thing that has always bothered me as a Westerner is that there seems to be a great deal of importance placed on completely superficial things with many Japanese. This issue of ranking "self-worth" with ones appearance and trying to live up to some standard that only a very small segment of the population can achieve is one of them.
So, my question and I don't want this to sound indelicate.. but...
Is there some cultural stigma or self-loathing about not looking "Western" or not being "Caucasian" enough?..
I know that may sound crass.. but for decades from the time I was a boy, it just seems that a huge percentage of Japanese ANIME, Super Hero like Stories or even just what they think looks cool and what is perceived as "Beautiful" all appear to be WHITE WESTERN People?...
I mean, your Anime is the prime example.. The charcters are supposedly native Japanese, but they all seem to have fair, light skin, long flowing light colour hair (or even blonde), but the glaring one.. BIG WHITE WESTERN Eyes.. Almost always!..
The people many Japanese seem to most idolize do NOT look Japanese at all?..
Its really as if there is a self-loathing trait to much of your media??
If the above have given anyone offense, that was not my attention...But I am genuinely very, very confused.
I would really like to see NOBITA touch on this topic. Thank you!
PS: I personally feel that Japanese women are BEAUTIFUL!.. Dark hair, brown eyes and "normal" eyes and all!
🙄🙄🙄
Since when only westerner have big eyes???
I have big eyes and i am an asian
Colorful hair amd eyes are fun🙄
Stop thinking that everyone 's life revolves around white people 🙄
Short answer: Yes, Asians have a lot of self-loathing for their features, particularly monolids and their flat noses. They are extremely proud of their fair skin though although i've seen Asian women tan themselves because they hope Western men will find them exotic. Creepy AF.
It's interesting how you associate the "non" japanese features in anime immediately with "caucasian". Fair skin, loads of japanese have it. "BIG WHITE WESTERN EYES" you say, when many would argue that Middle Easterners and Indians tend to have much larger, deep-set eyes than causasians, on average. And Africans aren't excluded.
Now I agree that there are characters with hair and eye colors that are more common among europeans, (it helps appeal to western fans). Just look how big Naruto got in the West because of his blonde hair and blue eyes. Western kids were able to relate to him better that way. Theres nothing wrong with that. I do agree that there seems to be a favoritism towards double eyelids in Asia which I don't get. People find asians attractive for a reason, and it has a lot to do with their natural monolid eyes.
However I can't help but laugh at the notion, "If it ain't asian, it must be caucasian!"
This mostly seems to come from caucasians too. I guess it's their way of feeling represented in such a popular domain. That's fine I guess.
I have noticed though, that Asians cosplaying anime characters tend to resemble them the best. Probably has to do with their softer, neotenous features. When caucasians cosplay, they just end up looking emo, hehe. Hey, as long as they're enjoying themselves who cares.
She's rather average looking without makeup. To be brutally honest.
I find it sad she takes that so hard... most people are average.
Having said that, the makeup does help, although she looks like the same person just having a pleasant day.
Yeah there is barely any difference.
When I say I want a makeup transformation I want like this, she's so skillfull, it's not like I feel like I look ugly but I just want a bit of enhancement that looks good like her
Wow she's so talented but she's already beautiful with or without ❤ so nice. Thank you for sharing
I think it was Leighton Meester who once said in a podcast that the beauty industry did such a good job weaponizing our biggest insecurities against us.
I really admire your makeup skills. I really find it difficult to learn it and get that desirable result. You are so pretty inside that it transcends outside. Keep smiling, onee-san
When she said she felt lucky that she could get married with that face, I really felt that...
It's strange how that works. Having an ugly face makes a woman very humble, and such women are usually the first to get married because they're so grateful when a guy likes them, and this usually happens in the teenage years when guys have strong hormones and are desperate for a woman. A beautiful woman will automatically have higher standards, also men are more intimidated by her, and finally she may not even be able to get married.
@Bubbles-od2tv Not all beautiful women are snobs with too high standards nor are all ugly women humble.. 😂
@@Bubbles-od2tv Very interesting take!
I think a bright smile makes a lot of difference too. If she smiles genuinely without makeup, her eyes and face will light up too.
To be fair she wasn't smiling let alone optimistic in the before image, females in Japan aren't alone makeup insecurity it's quite common everywhere now, it's when you cake on makeup that it looks trashy just like fragrance being an assault on organs by the way the skin is an organ too, a little goes a long way...on other hand ancient lore describes the fallen angels demoted into demons, wispered the method of allure illusion makeup to women.
It's really not hard to tell when a woman is wearing makeup. There is no foundation that is going to look exactly like skin
I personally don't like makeup or the urge to use it(especially over using it), but it's not like I don't understand why people do.
For her, after my experience living in Japan, she just looks average without makeup, and that's not at all bad, but I also know how people can be over there.
On the other hand, I would say that it makes more sense for her, not because of attractiveness, but the makeup magnifies her expressions, making it seemingly easier to tell her emotions (maybe?).
Her face looks more expressive, but that could be due to confidence.
But I guess my disdain for makeup comes from what she said about it being hard to find love with that face.
The competition from women and tacit acceptance of the increasing standards from men (yes, everyone is to blame) is making average and above average girls think they're ugly and with social media making more women seek validation online.
Then, using it can make their skin worse, furthering the insecurity and making the problem bigger.
For me her monolid eyes are so unique and beautiful, I would love to see her wearing makeup without changing her eyes shape.
People need to get their expectations in check with reality
I like how she looks without it. She has a nice evenly balanced face and good cheekbones. I also love her eye shape. I think with the makeup, she looks more generic. Both ways are pretty, just different.
Firstly I am exceptionally impressed with her ability, the change was a very noticeable one.
Secondly, I am honestly a little bit jealous of women's ability to so readily change their appearance. Whilst I know that makeup is becoming more and more common amongst men, I personally don't like the current styles that appear to be in fashion, they're too effeminate for me. Not to mention that at my age (I am will be 40 in a few years) I would feel exceptionally silly, not to mention very much out of my depth using such products. Hell, I have only somewhat recently begun to do a semi frequent skincare routine (mostly because I have been told by enough people that I am starting to believe it, that I look like I am in my late 20s/only just have entered my 30s). And as vain as it may be, I'd like to hold onto that for as long as I can because I certainly don't feel my age, I still have the same physicality (which I am very thankful for) and mentality as I did at 21, for better or worse lol).
I never saw a straight man with makeup.I don't count musicians, circus performers, etc. Although even in their case, I doubt that they wear makeup outside of work.
@@malkontentniepoprawny6885 Likewise and I doubt that I honestly would wear it, it's more my raging against the inevitably of aging.
Still I have learnt a few things since I wrote the comment and am now trying to take better care of my skin. Nothing too extreme, but I am noticing the difference at least. I'm not getting as adverse reaction to shaving at least (it used to leave my face very dry and tender, despite making use of a moisturising after shave). I don't expect it to work miracles (though as I said I am noticing results) and if all it does ultimately is boost my self confidence I would still have to consider that a win.
All the best to you.
That's because women like men who have aged a bit, they look manly and rugged. Acne is a different matter of course.
I wanna learn their eye makeup technique. If you can see in 3:33, where the gradual changes are shown, the 3rd and the 4rth is completely different even tho both has double eyelids and eyelashes.
It became prettier.
This makeup look is my go-to look in Japan
It's disturbing and really sad that social media and beauty standards have made us feel like shit to the point where people feel like showing up in their natural undisturbed state without makeup is disgusting and even rude to people around them.
自愛の手段にもなるし、素敵だねおめかしって
I don't agree. If you grew up with no one around, would you put on makeup?
You are beautiful without makeup. I understand how you feel, I fasted from makeup a couple years ago and now I only do lashes and sometimes lipstick. I gave up foundation, I had to wear it everyday, I truly believe God wanted me to enjoy the face he blessed me with, he thinks it’s beautiful that’s why he gave it to me. I am now comfortable with or without makeup. Lashes are still something I like to do, I feel naked without them 😊💗
Companies that want to sell a product, prey on our insecurities, make their products seem more valuable than they actually are, and/or offer it as a new development to give you an edge over your competition. Honestly, these companies don't have your best interest at heart, are not necessary and just want to make a sale.
We can't choose the face we want to be born with. Make-up is a temporary respite to look better. At the end of the day, it's better to accept what nature has given and be happier.
This only works if you have monolids. "Scam makeup" doesn't work on women who already have double eyelids. The transformation is in the eyes but nose and face shape is the same. I wish she didnt have to feel the need to wear makeup to the grocery store. Sometimes cosmetics causes a lot of irritation. Wouldnt want to be away from home when my skin feels like it is burning.
I'd prefer "before" shots where people are smiling as well, or at least "after" shots with the same facial expression, because the smile is usually half the reason they look better.
Wow I admire her consistency and skill. 30-50 mins to put on makeup? 😲
I'm too lazy if I was her I'll probs just get eyelid surgery, that's the only difference which actually stood out to me.
A person's smile many times is the best look. If you included pics of her smiling without makeup you would see that
She's absoubtly stunning even without make up. It's really sad because Japanese women are some of the most beautiful women on the planet... ❤️❤️
The first one she looked sleepy and unexcited and after make up she smiled and looked energized.
She's still pretty regardless
I just want to say to this woman : you are beautiful with and without makeup! ❤😊
1:15 She's actually very pretty. Women look way better without makeup. I sometimes see nuns who don't wear makeup but just eat healthy and take care of themselves and I'm stunned at how beautiful they naturally are.❤❤
