Worried about volume reduction on the top of the head and dark spots under the eyes
Spring is the recommended season for a makeover! Just by changing your hairstyle and make-up a little, you can make a bright and airy makeover.
Mr. Tsuchiya, who will challenge the image change this time, said, “I’m worried about the volume down on the top of the head.” In addition to giving a youthful impression with a haircut, I was taught how to hide blemishes and how to make up to look like a masked beauty.
* As with the second time, this time, we will have a haircut and “beauty experience (nails, makeup, hair styling, photography)” set at the “Egao Beauty Salon”, a hair salon specializing in seniors.
Person who challenges the makeover: Fumiko Tsuchiya (64 years old)
“I’m worried about my dry hair and the loss of volume on the top of my head. When it comes to makeup, I’m worried about the spots under my left eye. Now I often wear a mask, so there are some tips to make it look beautiful with point makeup. I want you to tell me,” said Tsuchiya.
Haircut: Takahiro Terui
“Parting your hair can make you look older. Eliminate the parting in your bangs and use short hair with volume on top for a youthful makeover! While keeping the back of your head in a vertical silhouette, you can also keep the sides clean. , the center of gravity rises and makes your face look smaller.” (Mr. Terui)
Makeup: Miho Suzuki
“Blemishes can be covered well with concealer. Now that you’re wearing a mask, you can use the bare minimum of make-up! If you brighten your eyes, you can look energetic and youthful even with a mask. You can do that.” (Mr. Suzuki)
Once you have decided on the point of the makeover, you can immediately select the clothes for the photo shoot.
“I couldn’t go to the beauty salon or go shopping for a while due to refraining from going out, so I’m very happy today,” says Tsuchiya. You can tell from the side of his face that he is excited.
Mr. Tsuchiya usually wears a lot of clothes in calm colors, but the stylist advised him to wear colors that would cheer him up, so he decided on a spring-like bright green shirt and beige pants.
Makeover point 1: You can look younger with unparted shorts
After shampooing, it’s finally time to get a makeover!
“First, remove the parting that makes you look older. If you make the bangs from a high position, the parting will be difficult to see,” says hairdresser Terui.
Like the bangs, the hair around the whorl is also a point where the hair is easy to separate.
“If you don’t change your parting, you’ll end up with a habit of parting on your own. Be especially careful around the whorls. Cover it with a cut at the back of the head, and at the same time, devise a way to dry your hair to make the parting less noticeable. let’s go”
Makeover point 2: Raise the center of gravity with a diamond silhouette
After the bangs are finished, the next step is to cut the back of the head and the top.
“Most Japanese people have a bulging (bee-shaped) head shape between the top and the sides of the head. The hairstyle emphasizes the square silhouette and makes the face look bigger.”
A special technique that makes the bees on the head inconspicuous is the “skeletal correction cut”.
“The point of the skeletal correction cut is to increase the volume of the top of the head while at the same time making the lower part lighter, changing the silhouette from a square to a diamond shape. By creating , the small face effect when viewed from the side will be improved.
So, first of all, cut short the nape, which had a heavy impression with long hair.
The back of the head has a gradation cut (a long top and a short neckline with fine steps) to increase the volume and cover the parting around the whorl. In order to make the ends of the hair lighter, add movement by inserting the scissors vertically.
Makeover point 3: The side is refreshing! small face
Another point that makes the silhouette look vertical is to make the sides look neat.
“If you have short, short hair, if you cut the sides too much, the hair will spread out and make your face look bigger. While paying attention to this, the area around the face is layered with steps to make it look neater.”
At this time, “It is a point to cut so that it is slightly forward.”
“The advantage of the front-hanging short is that the hair that remains around the face can cover the outline of the face, making the face look smaller.In addition, the visual effect of flowing hair from the sides emphasizes the roundness of the back of the head. It also works.”
The haircut is now complete!
Volume up with style! Shine with hair cream
Styling is also an important part of adding volume to your hair. First, dry your hair with a hair dryer.
“In order to make the parting less noticeable, I dry my hair from the roots while moving my hands in the opposite direction of the hair growth. If you let it, you can get a solid volume.”
In order to make it even taller, we will wrap the curlers around the top of the head.
“Starting from the extension of the ear, curl the curlers backwards for the hair in the back and forwards for the hair in the front.”
To finish, use a curling iron and hair cream to add movement to the hair on the sides.
“There are many types of hair styling products such as oils, mousses, waxes, and jelly types, so many people seem to be worried about it. We recommend taking it in your hand, stretching it out, and then applying it to the ends of your hair.In the winter when it tends to dry out, we recommend adding some hair oil.”
Makeover point 4: Cover blemishes with concealer
Once the hairstyle is complete, the next step is makeup.
“I can’t get rid of the blemishes under my eyes with foundation…” said Tsuchiya with a troubled face.
On the day of the shoot, she wore her usual make-up, but it seems that she still has a faint stain under her left eye.
“To cover blemishes, it is recommended to use a concealer. Let’s use it with pinpoint accuracy,” said Mr. Suzuki, who is in charge of makeup.
Just put it on with a tapping motion, and the spots became less noticeable.
Makeover point 5: Eye makeup is the key to mask beauty
Another problem of Tsuchiya is that “the face looks dark when wearing a mask”.
“When you wear a mask, your nose and mouth are hidden, so the impression around your eyes is the most important thing. Brightening your eyes makes you look energetic and youthful, even with a mask on.”
To brighten the eyes, we recommend using cream blush, which was introduced in the second article, to enhance the complexion. Also, it seems that making your eyes look bigger is also a trick to make you look energetic.
“Because the weight of the eyelids makes the double eyelids look single, use an eyelash curler to raise the eyelashes from the roots. If the black eyes are visible, they will look much younger.”
“If you use mascara to lift your lashes, you can make your eyes look bigger by just using clear mascara to keep your lashes curved without using black mascara. Just by filling in the gaps between the eyelashes, the black eyes will look bigger and more beautiful.”
In addition, when drawing eyebrows, raising the end of the eyebrow a little will make it look more energetic.
“If your eyebrows are lowered, you will look sad.In the mask era of with Corona, if you use eye makeup to make your eyes look bright and energetic, every time you look in the mirror you will feel better and feel better. I will!”
When drawing eyebrows, the trick is to put powder along your own eyebrows and use a pencil only where you don’t have enough.
Hand care and nails to keep your fingertips clean!
And actually, hand care and nails were progressing at the same time as makeup.
Mr. Tsuchiya, who is receiving hand care for the first time, is very interested in cuticle care before nails.
“The cuticle is the thin layer between the skin at the base of the nail and the nail. If it is left too long, it will make the nail look smaller, so I take care of the cuticle before doing the nails,” says a manicurist.・Marie Hashimoto
“There are a lot of people who cut their nails too much, like Mr. Tsuchiya. Be careful as the parts will shrink.”
Even Mr. Tsuchiya was surprised by this! But on the contrary, I was relieved to hear that if I stretch my nails a little, the pink part will grow little by little.
After that, while asking questions about how to choose a nail color and how to take care of your hands, before you know it, your nails are complete! This completes the makeover.

Mr. Tsuchiya said that he was worried about volume reduction on the top of the head and dark spots under the eyes.
With short hair that looks youthful without parting and a makeup technique that hides blemishes and makes the eyes look brighter, it has a bright and light impression that is perfect for spring!
With short hair that falls forward, the area around the face is neat. The back of the head has a voluminous round silhouette that makes your face look smaller.
The back has a vertical silhouette with a tight neckline while adding volume to the top of the head.
There is no parting around the whorl, and it has become youthful.
What do you think of the makeover? “I was moved by the change in myself in the mirror!”
We asked Mr. Tsuchiya, who has a very nice shining smile, what he thought of the makeover.
“I was worried about the thin top of my head, but I was surprised to see how much volume came out after having my hair cut. I’m glad that there is no division, and it gives a youthful and light impression.”
As for makeup, “By using concealer, I no longer have to worry about dark spots under my eyes. My eyes look bigger and clearer, and my eyebrows, which used to be drooping, are painted with powder, giving them a clean and bright impression. In the mirror. I was moved by how I was changing little by little, and after the makeover, my feelings became brighter!”
Finally, a message from Mr. Tsuchiya to those who are about to get a makeover.
“At first, I was nervous about getting a makeover, but the beauticians, make-up artists, and friendly professionals will be there to support you, so it’s okay! Even if you are in Japan , please try to get a makeover .”
