In Japan, there is a trend to do おフェロ メイク or O-phero Makeup or Pheromone Makeup. What is this about? I'll show what kind of makeup it is and how to do it based on what I've learnt. I have watched many videos showing this kind of makeup and wonder what it was about. I finally have a clue through a blog. I can't find it anymore because I didn't save it. If anything got a problem, it must be its language. The site is in Japanese. So I'll write some point again and with the product I think I often saw it used to do this makeup.

The Pheromone Makeup trend is to do all-red makeup for sexy and sensual impression. But different than bold red lipstick or red blusher from Western style, Japanese tends to do it in a cute way. Get ready for a few points to do in creating O-phero look because I'll start with the first point below:

1. Big eyes
Yes, big eyes. You must create it by eyeshadow or anything you have to give bigger and bigger eyes. Don't forget contact lens if you like it. It is to show the erotic expression more. To use eyeshadow, fill in the outer corner of the eyes with darker color eyeshadow. The Japanese mostly used red, pink, coral, or brown based eyeshadow with dark brown for lining the outer corner. Use brown liner and mascara if you have, because they don't like black that much. For eyeliner, the famous one right now is from msh Love Liner in Dark Brown. See this picture:


Product you can use are mostly from quad palette, etc:
- Kose Visee Smoky Rich Eyes

- Kose Visee Glossy Rich Eyes (Mostly PK-3 in this photo)

- Kanebo KATE Brown Shade Eyes (Mostly BR-2)

2, Red Blusher in Triangle Shape
For cheek, use red blusher. Mostly cream cheek type. The shape is in triangle, start below your eyes and create round shape triangle. The red cheek is to emphasize sexy.


Product can be used are cream cheek types of blusher:
- Canmake Cream Cheek (Mostly CL01 Clear Red Heart or 14 Apple Cream Red)

- Kose Visee Lip & Cheek Cream (mostly RD-1)

3. Highlighter
Doing this makeup without highlighter will make it dull. Please highlight your T & C-zone, above lips, and chin to create glowy & healthy skin.


Product can be used:
- MAC Mineralize Skinfinish

- Canmake Glow Fleur Highlighter

- Canmake Highlighter (Mostly 01 Milky White)

4. Plump Red (Gradation) Lips
You have to know that red in Japan is not too bold. They'd prefer sheer and almost pink red. Some people prefer to use their cream cheek blusher as the lip color to fit in well. They can be used both on cheek and lips anyway, so it's fine to use the above product again. On top of the lipstick, put on lipgloss for plump lips. Gradation lips can be made to emphasize the shape of lips, but not often. Mostly, they'd prefer to put the lipstick with their finger.


Because the lipstick they used are mostly from the same cream cheek, I'll put some good lipgloss below to top it:
- Canmake Lip Tint Syrup (Mostly 02 Strawberry Syrup)

- Canmake Candy Wrap Lip (Mostly 05 Pinkholic Syrup)

For fashion, put on some shirts that reveals skin/shoulder. Because the look is perfect for this summer and it's useful in hot weather. Messy curly hair is also famous with this look, but it's preferable. It can have many styles of hair. If you like, you can try this look because it's cute and sexy in both. That's all on how to create o-phero makeup. I'll try to watch and search the latest fashion and makeup trend in Japan to give my readers information and easy to grab news. I hope I can write a how-to-do makeup again in the future.
