I cannot say much about the make up application as the picture is too bad.
But you really need more details! Look at all the pictures in this thread, they usually have way more detailed make up with different thems (flowers incorporated, drawn on motives, glitter, rhinestones or something different incorporated). Just slapping on some white make up isn't enough. Decide for a theme and do more detailed make up. Look at >>8061665 or >>8061659 for example.

You seem to be cute so I could see you pulling it off, so go practice your skills and good luck!

Thanks anon!

I have been trying many materials. Started out with Minori's tutorial.
Using normal eyeshadow and water. It did't work! I have skills for drawing, and doing lines was just impossible.
The photo was during a party, where I tried grease paint of other colors. Hard to get, but it didn't work either. Soft paint on white base didn't seem to have compatibility with the base. Oh, well, at least I'm getting better at the white base.

I always wondered how Minori and other shironuri have been able to do it, assuming they use something water based. In her tutorial, she just draws lines as if the base was paper!
The eyelashes glue also does not stick, for some reason.

Any advice?

[Anonymous No.8061760]

>>8061673
It's literally just "white face" so technically you can wear jeans and a t-shirt with white makeup and be shironuri. Of course, that's not very interesting and currently the trend is to go all out.
I wouldn't say it's a fashion so much as a costume or a wearable art form.

Origins,

Then Minori took the idea of painting your face white and paired it with rather sweet-fairy like details. Shironuri has a dark root in traditional theatre.
Minori has also a long carrier, I don't remember well how much, but it must be more than 5 years practicing shironuri.
There are others, mostly based on facebook, but Minori is who takes it more seriously and tries to renovate her style. For me, her fame is of an artist, not of an efamous.

I totally agree, she's a big art inspiration for me even though I don't do shironuri. Her look is very inspired by nature which I believe is more of her unique spin to it. Previously the style was much more dark and goreish imo because of its relation to certain bands and music.

Just white makeup is enough. There are girls in Harajuku that do this with seifuku and they look fine. Just because there aren't many of them posted in this thread does not mean the style doesn't exist. Minoris weird forest fairy style may be popular but as can be seen in lolita, the ott styles are the ones that are shared around and "plain" ones are rarely even shared online because they won't get as much attention. >>8061630 looks fine! I just do not like the weird wig but there is absolutely nothing wrong with a plain white face.

It is used in Lolita coords, but be careful. it can go horribly bad.

I am trying to do both, shironuri and Lolita, but they both are hard to pull off.
The white base is hard to get, and then to paint on top of it.
If you do, your clothing really can get dirty with paint.
I believe is better to use more fantastic colors for wigs and contact lenses, but accesories can be enough. Pic related.

could be the greasepaint too. I dont wear contacts myself but when I tried shironuri my eyes were glowing (red) from just putting on the base and setting powder.

Come to think of it, has anyone else had this problem? Could be allergies perhaps, or as you say anon, could be the contacts (but that doesn't explain why my eyes got all puffy and red).

Red eyed girl here.
When I wear the white base alone, my eyes are fine, but they do tend to look darker because of contrast (ethnic feature, I guess). Also, never smile and show your teeth.
However, I do have a fellow shironuri fan who is terribly allergic to the powder and baby powder. I don't know what she uses, though.

I'm fond of Nyx The Curve liner. It was one of the first few I tried and I liked it better than their skinny marker, and much much better than other liquids I used. Gel liner with a very small brush works well, also.

Also, I'll self post. This was one of my first times trying this, but any advice besides lose weight would be good, I'm working on that part (twenty pounds down, way too many to go!) I can share the outfit, too. I tried one other time for a black sheep themed outfit I had at a Halloween meet, but it was a little messier, I think.

What white are you using at the moment? I used to get a result like that from stargazer liquid foundation as it didn't work with my skin type, If you're having trouble with white foundation, I'd recommend Illamasqua or just straight up body paint. If that sounds too heavy then Very pale foundation with white powder usually works well for me but then I'm very pale naturally and it doesn't give that plain canvas white look. Your outfit is beautiful though anon and I like the detailing around your eyes.

Your makeup is grey, not white. You shouldn't really bother attempting to contour shironuri makeup with anything but the colours in your eyeshadow (even then, usually the colour under your eyes is enough). Also, the lower lashes look awful.

[Anonymous No.8067349]

>>8067321
Yeah sorry bout those lower lashes, I had limited time to do this before taking a snap shot. It was a test run. (You can see I'm still wearing my t-shirt and such underneath my scarf!) When you refer to contouring, are you talking about the blue on the inner/upper eye? I didn't use any color or shading anywhere besides my eyes, eyebrows and lips.

[Anonymous No.8067383]

>>8067349
Do you just have very, very poor lighting, then, or has your makeup been contaminated with something, because to me it seems more grey than white. Though, while we're on the topic, you should probably blend the blue more and get some white eyeliner or go for heavy black liner. I feel like this lacks a lot of contrast. Probably couldn't hurt to put some more gold foil under the centre of your eyes too.

[Anonymous No.8067450]

>>8067383
I'm going to guess it's the lighting? This was brand new makeup. I did all the makeup before putting the wig on, not realizing how far the hair went on the sides of my face. A lot of the gold leaf I applied got covered up! So yes, I definitely plan on doing more of that more below the center of my eyes than to the sides. Same with the eyeliner details, which you can't even see with the wig on. >.>

Thanks for the tip on the eyeliner.

Mehron's paradise line is the brand I use for my work because it's extremely light weight and dries completely, meaning it won't rub off if you don't set it with powder. However it may not be thick/heavy enough to get the flawless china finish needed for shironuri. Most of these girls/guys are probably wearing grease paint, which is super heavy, opaque, and needs to be set with powder. Not saying you can't get an opaque white face with Mehron, because I've done it dozens of times, it just goes on thinner and can crease or fade more easily. But for comfort, it can't be beat. Plus it smells like candy. (It's made with cocoa butter.)

Wolfe bros paint is made with wax so it's very opaque, but I would recommend it for color details, not for a base. It's very sticky and too heavy for full coverage but works well for areas where you need vivid, long lasting color. Their metallic colors are the bomb, and you typically need wolfe bros in order to do white detail work over opaque colors, especially black.

I know a lot of people go for Kryolan and Ben Nye but I don't have much experience with those. I've used Kryolan white before and it was always too greasy for me, but it's what most people use for clown white faces. Honestly for people just starting out in face paint I always suggest Mehron. It's gentle, smells good, goes on opaque, stays put, yet washes off easily. My only complaint is that they don't have a decent pale purple. I use TAG lilac instead.

Hope this helps! Also, I wonder if there are any other face painter seagulls? Seems like it would be a good job for the type, as long as you like kids.
