Video Demonstration - Female-to-male (Drag King) Makeup

Guess who the bishounen in this photo is? Haha, it's in fact me, Makeup Piggy! In my newest video, just in time for Halloween, I have demonstrated how to do drag king (female-to-make crossdressing) makeup. I deliberately did not use the typical "draw on a fake beard" approach (which, to be honest, look weird on most girls and doesn't work with anime characters). Instead, I focused on extensive shading to turn a relatively feminine facial structure more masculine. Unfortunately the video is kind of crap, and you can not see me do my lips at all, so I will definitely re-do it in the future.
Two more pics for your viewing pleasure:

Circle Lens Review - GEO Hurricane Brown (HC-104)

I originally ordered these lenses in hazel, but changed my mind and asked the seller to send me brown instead. I still have not seen any reviews of the hazels, but I am glad I chose brown instead because the color is awesome.

Enlargement-wise, they are middle of the road. No scary uber-large doll eyes here. :)

I think the Hurricane Browns have overtaken the EOS Max Pure Brown as my favourite "Warm Brown Eyes" lenses :) Here are some comparison pics, and you can see the color of the Max Pure are grayer, but they are larger in size than the Hurricane.

Here is another comparison with the uber-huge GEO Super Nudy Brown. The pattern on the Hurricane is so much more natural compared to the Nudy.

Design: 10/10 - Tons of love for the design :D
Enlargement: 9/10 - Decent enlargement, close to 14.5mm I think.
Comfort: 9/10 - Feels fine for the 10 minutes I wore them for this review
TOTAL: 9.5/10 - I might get these in other colors as well, I hope they will have pink!

Circle Lens Review - EOS V102-L Brown

The V102-L are single-color brown lenses with a diameter of 14.2mm. They have spikes of color that goes into the middle of your eye so they blend better with your real eye color.
Natural Light


The enlargement is pretty decent too, as you can see below. Also, you can compare my natural eye color with the lenses pretty well in these pics.

Here are some comparisons of V102-L with natural lenses I have on hand. First are my Hyper Size Platinum Brown:

Next up is comparison with the EOS Max Gold Black, which are black-brown:

Here are all the lenses featured in this review. Clockwise from the top: V102-L upside down, Max Gold Black, V102-L right side up, Plat

FINAL VERDICT:
Design: 9/10 - Simple and very natural design, perfect for natural looks
Enlargement: 9/10 - Seems to be bigger than 14.2mm
Comfort: 9/10 - EOS lenses are all quite comfy
TOTAL: 9/10 - No wonder Angelababy love these lenses, they are lovely :)
