Makeup is fun! How to get a new look and become whoever you’ve always dreamed to be! VRoidSTYLE vol.4
Thank you for always using VRoid.
This month’s issue of VRoidSTYLE, a web magazine to support VRoid fashion, is about makeup. On VRoid, you can enjoy all sorts of makeup: from eyeliner-only looks, to vibrant lipsticks, to textures that change the very finish of the model’s skin, to colored contacts. Even a small amount of makeup can change your overall look! In this issue, we’ve featured a wide variety of makeup items and asked the creators for tips on how to create them. This spring, why don’t you try your hand at makeup and give your avatars a charming makeover?
What is “VRoidSTYLE”?
It’s a VRoid fashion support project for fashion creators and lovers. This is a project to support VRoid fashion - introducing creators’ work, conducting interviews, and offering ideas on making fashion, hair, and make-up more fun. A new issue will be available monthly until this spring, both on the official website and in the e-mail newsletter!
It’s all about the eyes! Eyes, eyelashes, and eyeliner
The eyes are a fundamental part of the face and often determine a person’s overall look. Shining eyes, impressive eyelashes, and some neatly drawn eyeliner have the power to instantly catch people’s attention! Are you ready to make a statement with your avatar’s eyes?

“I created these by combining the artificial design of the eyes with the
fleeting tints created by light. The color palette is inspired by nature
photos like the sky, and the textures are created in Illustrator.”

“I created this work with the concept of ‘sparkling eyes that can suck
you in’. I used many particle brushes to increase the amount of
information in the process of adding light. I also created a lot of
color variations to customize your avatar even more easily!”

“Basically, I’m trying to create plain items that can be used for any
character, regardless of gender or race. I’ve assigned a name to all the
color variations and I’m particular about how I show them to others, so
I really hope you like them!”

“I wanted to create an item with a unique feel. In order to make these
textures look even better, I combined the main color with similar shades
and complementary colors. The edges are blurred so that you can enjoy
textures resembling a thickly painted illustration.”

“I’m trying to create items that will broaden the range of everyone’s
outfit combinations and help people dive deeper into the theme and charm
of every kind of fashion. I dress my avatars up in clothes that match
the other items and move their expressions around while checking and
adjusting each item as I go.”

“I drew this item realistically while preserving an illustration-like
feel, so that it can be used with any kind of avatar. I think the trick
is to look at a lot of pictures that are close to your ideal while
drawing. I’m happiest when I’m finally satisfied with the result!”

“The main feature of this item is that it’s unisex! It looks great in
photos both from the front and from an angle, and I thought of a way to
make it blend in wonderfully with your avatar’s makeup. I’d like to help
everybody enjoy fashion even more!”

“When I created this item, VRoid was still mostly used for
realistic-looking avatars. I tried to create a crisp, cell-shaded
design. The concept behind this texture is that any character can look
like they came right out from an anime!”
Longing for glamorous lips and skin?
Everyone wants their lips and skin to look absolutely radiant. Let’s focus on the importance of texture.

“I have been making pixel-by-pixel adjustments over and over again to
make them look natural even in close-up. I try to create textures that
can be useful to people who can’t draw to create their ideal characters.
I’d love it if people could enjoy makeup as much as they enjoy clothes!”

“Skin texture has a great influence over the impression that a face
makes, so I tried not to change the look of the eyebrows, eyes, and
mouth too much. I aimed to create a balance so that this item can be
easy to use: it’s cute as it is, or you can add makeup at a later
stage.”

“As with actual makeup, I try to break down the elements so that people
can have fun with different combinations. If I include different color
variations, I end up with dozens of materials, and it is difficult to
create patterns, so recently I have been experimenting with exporting
methods using video editing software.”
Turn on the fun with face stickers!
Face stickers are the latest makeup trend among real-life young girls. Why don’t you try applying stickers, rhinestones, or adhesive bandages to your character’s face to give them that playful, cute look?

“Originally, I started making these because I would see many real girls
applying stickers to their faces or adding them on when editing their
selfies, and I thought it was cute. With these little accents for your
face, fashion is not limited to just clothes.”

“It was my first time using VRoid Studio, so it took a lot of trial and
error! I wanted something cute and I tried to make these band-aids
dreamy by adding hearts and color. I’ve also attached some pictures of
how to wear them. I hope many people will enjoy them!”
Try makeup sets for a mood change.
Makeup sets that include textures for each part are perfect to create a sense of unity. Choose according to the look you want to achieve, the character’s colors, and the undertone (yellow-based or blue-based).

“When it came to putting makeup sets on sale, I first decided on the
characteristics they should have (in this case, ‘sweet’) and then
decided on the coloring. The fact that I put together a set for each
makeup type makes it easier for buyers to visualize what they are
looking for, so these sets have been very well received.”

“The eyes, mouth, and other parts of the body were created so that they
will look cute even when their shape changes drastically along with the
character’s expressions. The colors are quite dark, and you can adjust
their opacity to match different skin colors. I also tried to
incorporate real-life trends and color names to make these look like
makeup items.”
★Extra: Pretty Nails are a Must!
As a fashion magazine, we could never forget about nails! Here are some glamorous nails to make your characters fashionable all the way to their fingertips. Enjoy matching them with your avatar’s outfit and makeup to look 100% stylish.

“The concept of this product was to create a basic item that would fit
in nicely with a variety of outfits. It’s a simple design, but I tried
to appeal to the fashionable mind by making the nails nice and shiny.”

“I create nail designs based on whether or not I would feel excited
about wearing them myself. While painting them, I check the nails from
different angles and try to make sure that the nails look as pretty as
possible.”

“I tend to create nail styles that I would want to wear in real life. I
tried thinking about what elements, such as shine and color, would make
me feel good when I actually had my nails done, and focused on realism.”
