[Face Imitation] Summary of impersonation makeup and mask makeup

Imitation makeup and mask makeup have become widely recognized, and lots of comedians—as well as everyday people on social media—post them as a matter of course.

In this article, we’ll introduce this kind of imitation makeup and mask makeup.

By using a mask, you can achieve impressions that would otherwise be nearly impossible, transcending age, nationality, and gender.

And by using photos like social media posts and copying poses, you can create look-alike impressions that get astonishingly close to the real person.

I hope this is helpful for anyone who wants to try imitation makeup or mask makeup and is looking to learn more.

And if you simply want to enjoy impressions, I’d be delighted if you find a favorite imitation or mask makeup look!

Imitation makeup or plastic-surgery-style makeup can seem intimidating to try, right? When you think of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, you picture a poppy, flashy look, but surprisingly, even with a fairly normal hairstyle and outfit, the makeup still comes together in a way that really feels like her.

It’s impressive—and it’s great for people who aren’t into bold makeup.

Watching the process of clearly creating the under-eye “tear bags” and building the look with eyeshadow and false lashes is satisfying, and it makes you think, “Maybe I could do this too.”

When it comes to imitation makeup, it’s usually idols or musicians, but this one is of none other than Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike.

For a while, you could even see impressionists doing it on TV.

The key points are a slightly heavy layer of powder foundation, thick rounded eyebrows, and clearly defined double eyelids drawn with eyeliner—a straightforward method! To recreate that tired look, they’ve gone all-in on dark under-eye circles using eyeshadow (lol).

Miki Kasai impersonation makeup

From the office worker J Channel, which shares Korean beauty info for Japanese fans: “I tried doing a Mikipo’n Miki Kasai-style impression makeup lol.” It looks super similar! Recommended for anyone wanting inspiration for cute-style makeup.

The streamer is affectionately known as A-chan.

Miki Kasai is also active as a beauty YouTuber, and the two interact; you can see their closeness in videos like makeup looks using cosmetics they received from each other.

There’s tons of beauty info, so it’s really educational.

Nora Hirano impression makeup

This is a Hirano Nora–style makeup look from the mizuki channel, which shares all kinds of beauty info from skincare to lifestyle.

Speaking of Hirano Nora, you can’t forget the Tomioka High School Dance Club’s Bubble Dance.

The sharp choreography synced with Hirano Nora’s costume and hair/makeup and Yoko Oginome’s “Dancing Hero” was the best, right? Doing a parody makeup look and dancing in a bubbly style is super fun too! It’s great for enjoying at home, and doing the makeup together for events or recitals will definitely hype things up.

Dewi Fujin impersonation makeup

It must be really tough being Dewi Fujin’s makeup artist 💄😓 #ItteQ

This is YoshimiHair, who shares everything from hairstylist/stylist hair arrangements to lifestyle videos.

It’s a must-see channel for anyone interested in hair and makeup.

Here’s a parody makeup look of Madame Dewi—third wife of former Indonesian President Sukarno—who is hugely popular on variety shows.

It recreates everything from Madame Dewi’s hairstyle to her defined eye makeup.

The updo styling is glamorous and perfect for standing out at parties.

Why not try a celebrity-inspired look with parody makeup?

Yamada Takayuki-style mask makeup

Even the studio was stunned when an officially approved Takayuki Yamada look-alike appeared! 😳 #Nanani #GoroInagaki #TsuyoshiKusanagi #ShingoKatori

This is a video by Yawaasobi, who shares “waya” from Hokkaido every Friday.

“Waya” apparently means something like a total mess or out of control! In this video, she introduces makeup to resemble the versatile actor Takayuki Yamada.

A woman doing a male impersonation makeup is pretty innovative, right? She really captures Takayuki Yamada’s features and it ends up looking surprisingly similar.

It’s a great recommendation since makeup is easy to try anytime, even if you’re spending more time at home.

Men can have fun trying it out too.
