Sometimes I see women with their face done up where the foundation looks has a certain look that has a combination of heavy-ashy-waxy-shiny.. and I genuinely (seriously, no sarcasm or anything) have no idea if this is a 'look' or a mistake.. or intentional? or what.
Anyone know what I'm talking about? Wuzzat about?
This was the closest picture I could get - she is an absolutely beautiful woman.. but her face is ashy/waxy/heavy... I would say it was a makeup issue but I see this kinda frequently and hey, if Gyaru can be a thing, maybe this is too..?
That picture looks like she had a rough day and is wearing a foundation with the wrong tone- perhaps the foundation is pinky-toned and she needed something more yellow! Lol I'm pretty sure it's not done intentionally 
Except when people wear foundation that is too light for their skintones and try to look lighter than they are (more 'fair-skinned') which is quite intentional- the skewed view of many...Embrace your skintone and all will be well with the world LOL
I never understood it either when I was younger and why women bought foundation too light for their skin. And half the time the makeup was the wrong tone, come to think of it, because many companies did not cater to asian/indian/tan/olive-y/colored complexions!
@jesscheems I do see the trend of wearing foundation lighter than their own actual skin tone VERY frequently in Korea, Japan, and China. But I'd like to say that often isn't about "embracing one's own skin tone". I don't see how it can be the skewed view (or is it a skewed view that view it as a skewed view? 
).
Oh well in other countries I have seen this as well and basically it leads to people not liking their own skin and therefore buying fairness/bleaching cream. Maybe I didn't explain myself properly ..
Edit: Also I'm not saying this is what everyone does but a lot do and it's sad to see people with skin-conditions due to those bleaching creams =(
Yes ^^ this!!! Well said! Thank you @MK89 for perhaps explaining it better than I did I am speaking about that exact same region, and have had comments in regards to skintone as a youngster- because I tanned a bit and was playing in the sun but people around me didn't appreciate that we were healthy and playing outside and rather we were told off about our skintone/colour! I appreciate your response! I indeed speak from experience..and especially as a kid it does play with your head!
I believe this is just bad makeup and lighting. How much difference good and bad makeup can make.This is the same actress whose picture you have posted . 😱
After spending 1.5 hours battling the Tatcha website, I finally was able to push through, place an order, and get confirmation for the Cherry Blossom Lip Trio. Fingers crossed it really went through, and won't get cancelled due to a website problem (allowed more orders than they have stock, possibly).
