Are there any tips for applying Akatsuki-style makeup, especially the eyes?

The most important tip is to always prep your face because it is key. To protect your skin, invest in a primer and setting spray and use eyeliners and eyeshadow correctly to make your eyes look larger and more ‘alive.’

Brush on eyeshadow around your eyes using softer and lighter shades to accentuate the appearance of most anime eyes. Then use colored contact lenses based on each Akatsuki character carefully.
