FLASHY GYARU MAKEUP by Black Diamond Aochan|濃いめギャルメイク by Black Diamondあおちゃん - Duration: 13:15.

I wanted to make it really Gyaru so I'm using pink

Just one touch of the eyebrows will make it look sharp or soft

so look for the eyebrows which suits you

Hello, I'm Aochan from Black Diamond

I hadn't done a lot of videos, so I'm doing a rather flashy Gyaru makeup

It's a makeup I used to do, so I hope you can try it

Let's start

The color contacts are Twinkle Eyes' Sky gray

This is more whiter than the other blue color

and it gives good color

The base is Primavista's anti sebum base

This is so good that it always appears on my videos

It can be used in spring or summer so please try it out

Strongly padding it on

Foundation is Revlon color stay makeup 370

adding that with Integrate's base and mixing it

Mixing foundation and foundation will make it stick too heavily

so I'm mixing it with base

and the ratio is 3 to1 while looking at the mirror

In that ratio not making it too white or too black

I'm always using the mirror as a palette for the base and the foundation

and to keep the hands clean, I do it all with a brush

It's the same brush butI differentiate with the liquid foundation and the powder foundation

These brushes work so well with liquid or powder foundation so please try it out

from Shiseido

The concealer is Canmake's Cover and Stretch concealer

and using the brightest color of no.1

Before I used to use Kate's stick concealer

This stretches well, and blends in well so I switched

As usual the bridge, under the eyes and places you want to look high

This is brighter than foundation so I'm using instead of highlighter

It spreads well

The powder foundation is MAC's Studio Fix powder

Using this also with brush

The color is NC43

This is probably the darkest in the series

The here are two types which are orange-isa and red-ish

I'm using the orange one

This is not so much natural but covers well

so it looks a little heavy

Even when the makeup comes off, it doesn't get too messy

I have always used AC, but even though it is expensive, this is better

The eyebrow pencil is K-palette lasting 2way eyebrow liquid

The brightest color

I have always used pencil type, but switched to brush type

It is so useful. Before, I had to really draw it in,

but this one lets you draw smoothly including the outer corner

and it doesn't come off easily so I think the brush one is better

Since it is flashy makeup this time, even though I usually draw it lower

but I'm drawing almond eyes by creating a little mountain on the top of eyebrows

One touch of eyebrows will drastically change your eyebrows either soft or sharp

so look for the eyebrows which fits you

After drawing with the brush, you make it vague so it won't be too sharp

KATE designing eyebrow NX4

and using the color in the middle

Using the top one will be too dark and make it too sharp

so this one to the inner eyebrows, and if you want soft look, using the powder

but on the outer corner you want to have a sharp look, so not drawing too much here

I've always used this one for eyebrows mascara, but I never could figure out the name

and blending it in. I guess matching with your hair color is the best,

but I can now. KissMe heavy rotation coloring eyebrow yellow brown

There are many colors to this, but the yellow makes it look the softest so it's really good

To make the eyebrows look natural, it's better to bleach it but

b ut I forgot to color so adding this a lot

The best way is to color it in the same color as your hair

If you want to make it like a westerner, it's better if you use a color slightly darker than your hair

The eyelash curler is as usual

In my last video I said I bought it at the 100 yen store which was wrong

It was a Koji curler. I actually have 2 types

The angle here is different. Some are narrow, other are wide

I use the wider version

I use the trick of using super glue so the rubber part will never come off

Using it 1 2 and 3 with angle to raise the eyelashes

Filling in the gap on the eyelashes and making clear where to place the fake lashes,

Leanani Waterproof liquid eyeliner

in color black

Adding this casually to places for the fake lashes

and filling in the gaps in the eyelashes

I usually place the fake lashes not on the edges, but a little higher

so I am drawing the eyeliner a little thicker to prevent the gap from sticking out

The mascara is my usual

Maybelline the Magnum in black

This is so great. I seem to have a lot of oil on my eyes

Any type of mascara makes the under of my eyes all smeared.

but this one doesn't, and spreads well, and keeps on well

It is so great I always use this

The fakes lashes are Diamond Lash's light blue one called Celeb

Not using all but cutting 2 wads from the outer corner and

trying to keep the dark looking part to this side as possible

The eye tape

I used to use bandages, but since I have a double fold,

so no matter how I do it, it becomes messy

but this one makes a double eyelid more beautiful than usual even though it's a 100 yen product

so it's one of my favorite recently

I'm sure you'll find it in most 100yen store, but it's in pink package

Please check it out

Whenever I use an eye tape, I always use an eyelid glue

for people who can take care of the foundation and do it right, it's ok but

but I add makeup all over including here,

so to prevent from coming off, I use the glue before the eye tape

The eye shadow is Meybelline's Hyper Diamond eye shadow

GD-1, a gold type color

When you want to do a glitter shadow, Maybelline is great since it has huge glitter inside it

Glitter glitter means Maybelline

Adding to the whole eyelid light colored orange and,

and a dark one to make the shadow

to make a gradation

Next is the eyeliner to the inner corner

K-Palette real lasting eyeliner Brown

I used to use the black version of this

but brown looks more natural so I'm using brown now

When doing the inner corner, doing the eyes like this will be easier to draw

If you draw once and do this, you can fill in the gap so it will look much better

The eyeliner is going droopy and then giving it wings

I usually give it more wings

but it's Gyaru makeup today so it's droopy

Once the top eyeliner is done, giving a thin line on the edge of the pupils

It's pretty rare that I draw on the outer corner

The outer corner can be the thickness of your choice

Droopy then connect

but if you start all the way from here, the pupils will look unnatural

so the edge of the pupils is added then made droopy

With only the eyeliner, this part will look strange being white, so I'm making it vague

The lighter color to trace over the part on the edges

and with the dark color, coloring it all the way to the outer corner

The same mascara

This also goes down to the pupil. Since the fake lashes are only on the outer corner,

so mixing it to make the original lashes longer

The bottom lasher are the Tsubasa Masuwaka style

Dolly Wink #14, the lightest one

It blends well the most with your original and looks natural

so I always use no.14 when using the bottom lashes

Cropping off 3 wads and attaching to the outer corner

and blending it in with mascara will make a beautiful looking eyelashes

Then using the same eyeliner for the inner corner to be used as drawing moles

The position is original to me. There is a mole when I don't have makeup on

It is visible to some point and you can slightly see it over the makeup

so I trace it over the mole

Nose shadow and highlighter

Dolly nose makeup Princess Nose

Using the black one

Using the darker color. Doing this will show where the triangle zone is

After applying it to the triangle zone, adding it straight to the bridge

Ignoring the nostrils and drawing it pretty straight

To make it natural, if you don't blow on it, the starting point will be very dark

So I always blow on it before applying it

The highlighter is to the T-zone and the high part which is on the cheek bones

The bridge of the nose is added quite a lot

The diamond beauty blush in orange

I used to use CanMake orange, but that one was pretty dark as well

Adding just a little gave good color, and it won't lessen at all

It's good

Usually I would add it under the eyes to make it a little Harajuku style

but since it's flashy makeup today, adding from the bottom up in a steep angle

The shading is CanMake shading powder 01

This is probably the darkest

Looking upward and adding it under the face pretty much

The side is placing it where you can't see from the front

If you place it where you can see from front, it will look so dark on Purikura stickers

so not showing it from the front

slightly under the blush

My usual, DHC medical lipstick

When I used it in my other video, my cousin was watching it

I got it from my cousin the limited edition so I'm using it again

It's pretty good and if you apply it before you go to bed,

and if you take away the excessive one with a tissue paper, the excessive skin will come off

and it will look nice so it's also good for late night care

Candy Doll Prop Crayon Dip

in color pure pink

There is orange, red and pink

I usually use orange but it's Gyaru this time so using pink

The point is sharpened so the details can be drawn, and the packaging was very nice

I used a wavy hair iron to make it look waffle like

When you want Gyaru, it's better twisting it

Please try it out

By switching Side on the iron,

next is turning around and facing this way

All will not face the same direction and it will look like it's mixed, so it's really good

The important thing is to do blocking right

Doing it all at once will left out some curl, or give a curling habit to the hair

Doing blocking correctly will make it look good

The tip may not be able to twist or facing strange direction

so I will twist it around the machine to make it look nice

When the tip is not aligned, it looks messy so I try to keep it all the way

A lot of people will curl the bangs like this

but I want to have more curly looking so

so diving top and bottom by blocking. The bottom is usually done in straight

The top needs to have some angle

You want the top and the bottom to look a little curled, like natural curls

Please try it out

How was this? The key of this makeup is droopy than usual and

I never draw the bottom eyeliner, but I'm pulling it today

The fake lashes are attached a lot as well

The overall is pretty thick as well

I think that's the key

It's pretty dark makeup than usual so it's probably useful of the front runner Gyarus

Please try it out

Please checkout other videos as well. Bye

The Mock Execution of Fyodor Dostoyevsky - Duration: 7:49.

Hello I'm Daven Hiskey, you're watching the Today I Found Out YouTube channel, in the

video today, we're looking at that time a young Fyodor Dostoevsky was put in front of

a firing squad and thought he was going to die.

On December 22, 1849, members of a Russian intellectual literary group known as the Petrashevsky

Circle were sent to Semyonov Square to meet their fate – death by firing squad.

With the men pointing their rifles and fingers resting on the trigger, a messenger from the

Tsar rode into the square waving a white flag.

Like something out of a Hollywood movie, he declared he had an official pardon from the

Tsar of Russia, Nicholas I, in a "show of mercy."

This was not a show of mercy, but rather a staged way of fostering fear, terror, and

gratitude.

This was a "mock execution" and among the victims was the famed Russian author of

Crime & Punishment, Fyodor Dostoevsky.

So how did he get here?

Fyodor Dostoevsky was born in November 1821 to a working class Russian family.

His father worked for a hospital catering to the poor and, while his family was better

off than most, he saw first-hand the poverty and disillusionment of Russian society during

the 19th century.

When he was a child, Fyodor's father would be promoted several times at the hospital,

while coming into possession of lands and serfs.

This exposure to Russia's system of serfdom would greatly influence Dostoevsky later in

life.

By the time he had turned 18, both of his parents had died; his mother from consumption

(see our video on Why Tuberculosis was Called Consumption) and his father under more mysterious

circumstances.

While doctors said he died of a stroke, a neighbor swore up and down that he was murdered

by his peasants, tied to a chair and drowned in vodka.

In 1846, Dostoevsky published his first work Poor Folk (also called Poor People), a novella

depicting the lives of poor Russians and their relationships with the rich.

It was lauded as an achievement by critics, newspapers, and the general literary community.

Read the Russian political newspaper Northern Bee,

"News about a new genius, Mr. Dostoevsky, is circulating across St. Petersburg.

We do not know whether it is his real name or a pen-name.

The reading audience is praising his new novel, Poor People."

Even the great Russian critic Vissarion Belinsky praised the novel for being socially conscious

and written with great skill.

Taking Dostoevsky under his wing, he introduced him to a number of Russian writers, poets,

and artists.

At least one Dostoevsky biographer believed that this was not a good thing.

Said Dmitry Grigorovich, "I can say with confidence that the success of Poor People,

as well as the admiration of Belinsky, definitely had a negative influence on Dostoevsky."

Grigorovich goes on to describe how Dostoevsky became arrogant, insufferable, and too confident.

Only 15 days later, another short story of his, The Double, was published in a journal.

A few weeks later, this became Dostoevsky's second novel, a mere five weeks after his

first one.

This one was not lauded nor loved and his reputation almost immediately collapsed.

As a recent Guardian article put it, "Not merely trashed, the book was denounced.

Dostoevsky became a bad joke."

Partially due to the negative attention, Dostoevsky began to suffer from health issues.

He fell into severe financial trouble, as well.

This forced him to rely upon Belinsky and his group of socialist friends for help.

On most Saturdays and Sundays, Dostoevsky could be found at Mikhail Petrashevsky's

residence, who was an intellect and an advocate for utopian socialism.

They would talk, eat, discuss the trying times, and denounce serfdom.

This weekend group became known as the Petrashevsky Circle.

Besides Petrashevsky, Dostoevsky, and Belinsky, the circle was made up of such individuals

as the writer Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin, the poet Aleksey Pleshcheyev, and the painter

Taras Shevchenko – all well known Russian creatives who happen to be socialist-leaning.

Besides serfdom, they also discussed socialist politics, their opposition to the Tsar Nicholas

I, and read banned literature.

This all came to a halt when, on April 23, 1849, 35 members of the circle were arrested.

There was also a note sent to police officers calling for Dostoevsky's arrest by name.

It read,

" According to the supreme order of the Tsar, I command you to arrest Junior-Lieutenant

and literary artist Fyodor Dostoevsky at four o'clock in the morning… to put a seal

on all of his papers, manuscripts, and books, and dispatch instantly all these materials,

together with Dostoevsky to the Third Section of the Royal Police of His Majesty… if Dostoevsky

claims that certain documents belong to other people, ignore these statements and seal those

documents as well."

The group was incarcerated in St. Peter and Paul Fortress Prison, or simply known as "Fortress

Prison," where the worst criminals were kept.

After months in prison, they were convicted of distributing letters with "abusive remarks

about the Orthodox Church and Government" and conspiring to publish "anti-Government

propaganda."

For this, they were sentenced to death by firing squad.

On December 22nd, they were marched out blindfolded to Semyonov Square in Saint Petersburg.

As preparations were made, every person was prepared to die that day.

As Dostoevsky would later write to his brother,

"There the sentence of death was read to all of us, we were told to kiss the cross, our

swords were broken over our heads, and our last toilet was made.

Then three were tied to the pillar for execution.

I was the sixth.

Three at a time were called out; consequently, I was in the second batch and no more than

a minute was left me to live."

In his novel, The Idiot, he also perhaps shed some light on his thoughts while he had that

minute left to live:

"…But better if I tell you of another man I met last year…this man was led out along

with others on to a scaffold and had his sentence of death by shooting read out to him, for

political offenses…he was dying at 27, healthy and strong…he says that nothing was more

terrible at that moment than the nagging thought: "What if I didn't have to die!…I would

turn every minute into an age, nothing would be wasted, every minute would be accounted

for…"

As the squad pointed their guns at the three tied to the posts (as noted, not Dostoevsky,

who was off to the side), the shout went out, "Prepare to fire!" and, then, another

sound rang out – that of a drummer who had been commanded to beat the "refuse," meaning

stop the previous order.

The messenger had arrived with Tsar Nicholas's I new order.

"Long Live the Tsar" was yelled, blindfolds were taken off, and the prisoners, including

Dostoevsky, had tears in their eyes.

They were saved, but this wasn't a last second show of mercy.

This pardon was actually agreed upon the day before, but with the orders that it was to

be announced only at the last possible second.

Mock executions have been a frequent torture technique meant to cause trauma, fear, and,

at times, gratitude to those who "saved" them.

They have even been used in modern times as well.

A recent ABC report stated that ISIS used mock executions on American and Japanese hostages.

In 1979, during the Iranian hostage crisis, those who worked at the American Embassy in

Tehran were subjected to mock executions.

The Chicago Tribune also reported that America's CIA may have staged mock executions in hopes

of getting alleged terrorists to talk in 2004.

Despite this reprieve, the prisoners didn't get off scot-free, far from it actually.

Dostoevsky, along with several of his fellow prisoners, were sent to work camps in Siberia,

where they spent four years doing hard labor.

When Dostoevsky was released in 1854, he was still required to serve in the Siberia Regiment

for a number of years.

But he also went back to writing, most likely humbled.

In 1854, he published The House of the Dead, a semi-autobiographical work about life in

a Siberian prison camp.

He continued to write and gain his literary creditability back.

In 1864, Crime & Punishment was published, a novel about a young student plotting to

kill a pawnbroker to take her riches and rid the world of "worthless vermin."

This was Dostoevsky's most famous work.

And, of course, it wouldn't have been written and you'd likely never have heard of him

if the decision to pardon Fyodor Dostoevsky hadn't been made.

It would seem he really didn't waste the rest of his life.
