Features of gothic lolita makeup

Another feature of Gothic Lolita makeup is that it has a wide range depending on the amount of "Gothic" and "Lolita". Recently, landmine-type makeup with firm eye bags has become popular, so it seems that there are many people who wear makeup with a strong "Lolita" element.

・First of all, moisturize well
