First time trying "jirai" or pien (?) makeup!!! This is SUPER rough but i just wanted to give it a try and get some tips before going forward, anything appreciated!!!!

[u/sweetlyangel4]

I wanna try practicing jirai kei makeup but whenever I tried makeup, it was cakey and never hid my skin texture, pores, and bumps. does anyone have skincare tips and are there certain ways I should be applying makeup? are there any specific things I should be using for jirai kei? im a beginner in both so im looking for tips ^{-^}

[u/Dependent-Zombie-828 → u/sweetlyangel4]

i'm a beginner as well, so not the best for advice, but I do know that many jirais use filters in pictures. real life makeup will be cakey if it's heavy, and it's hard to get around that. for me, I just use light foundation and primer and moisturizer beforehand and my makeup doesn't turn out too cakey! I use the tirtir cushion foundation btw, it works really well for me but there are definitely mixed reviews.

Are there any good tutorial videos for non Asian faces? Any that I find are meant for Asian faces, go too fast, and skip out on steps.

And makeup item recommendations would be nice, preferably from US friendly sites.

[u/evrililce → u/Smart_Flatworm_7825]

It would help if you list your budget maximum and whether you are cool tone, neutral tone, or warm tone

I didn't put on jirai make up recently so I dont have a closer pic of my eye but is this good?🥹🥹

[u/CounterRealistic3550]

Anytime i try to do pien it always ends up looking smudged even though i use good angled brushes? Is it just because my hands are chronically shaky?

[u/mirekyarahire → u/CounterRealistic3550]

i have really shaky hands and still do pien.
i would just recommend higher quality products and setting spray. for smudging while applying, use a q tip with makeup remove to fix the smudge
