Are Traditional Attire and Dresses Completely Different?!

Tips for Hair Makeup When Wearing Traditional Attire＊Hair Edition＊

Not long ago, traditional wedding hairstyles were perceived as simple and lacking in variety. But that is no longer the case; they are often even more glamorous than dresses!♡

Showing the Neck is Key!♡

When it comes to hairstyles, it's all about ensuring a beautiful neck appearance.✡ Traditional attire can often create a bulky impression if the neck area is not visible, so take care to highlight it.＊*

Adding volume at the back of the head gives you a presence that rivals the kimono. Wearing floral decorations in similar colors to the kimono adds a sense of cohesion and is highly recommended.♡

Part your bangs to reveal your forehead. Having bangs with traditional attire inevitably creates a heavy look. Showing your forehead will give you a refreshing and graceful appearance!♡

For wedding dresses, many designs feature a deep neckline, so it’s okay if the neck is not prominently shown. When wearing an off-shoulder dress, down hairstyles are also recommended!♡

Updos are also a perfect match for dresses.＊* However, unlike traditional attire, if the hair is too neatly arranged, it can create a stiff impression. Allow for soft loose strands to maintain a feminine look. Alternatively, a neatly styled updo can create a refined, elegant appearance reflecting the beauty of a kimono.

Matte Texture is Key!♡

For traditional attire, achieving a fluffy matte texture instead of sparkling and glossy makeup enhances the elegance of the kimono.♫

For eye makeup, adding volume to the outer corner of the eyes and slightly spacing them apart creates a very charming and lovely look. Use a lip liner for an elegant finish.＊*

If your hairstyle has flowers around your face, make your eye makeup and lip makeup richer than usual. This bolder style will help you maintain a vibrant impression that won't be overshadowed by the flowers.♫

For wedding dresses, a glossy complexion with shimmery eyeshadow creates a fully glamorous look. **Be cautious** as using matte makeup can lead to a somewhat aged appearance!
