1. Fox Eye Illusion

• Technique:

• The eyes are the focal point of this makeup style, designed to create an elongated, almond shape reminiscent of a fox’s gaze.

• Use a thin, fine brush to apply a deep, earthy brown or auburn eyeshadow, sweeping it upwards from the outer corners of the eyes to extend and lift the eye shape.

• A sharp, cat-eye eyeliner is applied, with the wing extending slightly longer than usual to enhance the fox-like effect.

• The lower lash line is subtly smoked out with a lighter shade of brown, connecting with the upper wing to create a seamless, elongated effect.

• Inner corners can be highlighted with a soft, shimmering gold or peach shade to give a hint of mystical glow, reflecting the kitsune’s connection to the supernatural.

2. Luminescent Skin

• Technique:

• Kitsune are often depicted as ethereal beings, so the skin should have a soft, glowing finish.

• Start with a lightweight, luminous foundation, blending it well to ensure an even and natural base.

• Apply a light dusting of finely milled translucent powder, focusing on the T-zone to keep the glow controlled while maintaining the natural luminosity.

• Use a highlighter with a golden or pearlescent sheen on the high points of the face: the tops of the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, and the brow bone. The highlighter should be blended seamlessly for a subtle glow rather than an intense shine.

3. Kitsune Blush

• Technique:

• The blush should be applied in a way that enhances the face’s natural contours, giving a youthful and slightly mischievous appearance.

• A soft peach or coral blush is ideal, applied in a sweeping motion from the apples of the cheeks towards the temples, creating a lifted effect.

• For a more traditional touch, a tiny amount of red blush can be added to the very center of the cheeks and the tip of the nose, mimicking the natural flush seen in some traditional Japanese art.

4. Gradient Lips

• Technique:

• Inspired by traditional Japanese lip styles, the lips in this makeup look should be soft and slightly blurred, with the color concentrated in the center.

• Start by applying a matte or satin lipstick in a deep red or berry shade to the inner part of the lips.

• Using a small brush or finger, blend the color outwards, softening the edges for a gradient effect.

• For a modern twist, add a touch of clear or slightly tinted gloss to the center of the lips, giving a hydrated and plump appearance.

5. Subtle Fox Markings

• Technique:

• To add a mystical touch, subtle fox-like markings can be incorporated into the makeup.

• Using a fine-tipped brush and a light hand, apply a barely-there mark along the temples or just above the eyebrows, resembling the faint markings often seen on kitsune in traditional art.

• These markings should be soft and blended, using shades of light brown, gold, or red, depending on the kitsune’s personal style.

Additional Touches:

• Brows:

• Brows should be softly arched and slightly elongated towards the temples, mimicking the natural curve of a fox’s brow line.

• Use a brow pencil or powder in a shade that complements the hair color, with a slightly warmer undertone to reflect the kitsune’s connection to nature.

First / Return / Resume

The Conflicted Avoidant

AVPD with Negativistic/Passive-Aggressive Personality Disorder traits

Conflicted between longing for intimacy vs fear of vulnerability, combined

Combined with the N/PAPD ambivalence about themselves and others, they idealise close friends and partners, but if their autonomy is threatened they undermine or humiliate them

Combines AVPD tendencies for withdrawal with N/PAPD tendencies for “interpersonal guerilla warfare”

Attacks others for failing to show affection, but accuse those who do of trying to undermine their independence

Petulant and sulking

Anticipate disappointment and fear, and may lash out indirectly by miscommunicating their actions and wishes

Feel misunderstood, unappreciated

Erratic mood, based on emotion, not logic

Deny past resentments and mask with content passivity, but when stressed are impulsively hostile

Due to people having difficulty relating to them, their feelings of alienation are made true. Their lack of relationships keep them safe from being criticised, but causes loneliness and isolation

The Hypersensitive Avoidant

AVPD with PPD traits

People with PPD can’t acknowledge vulnerabilities, but people with AVPD are very aware of them. Hypersensitive Avoidants attribute their vulnerabilities to the actions of others as well as their own

High strung, prickly, hypervigilant to rejection, wary of other’s intentions

Intense moodiness, self-depreciation, alternating between depression and irrational fear

Protectively withdraw, cutting themselves off from support but also potential harm

Combine AVPD feelings of guilt, being misunderstood and unappreciated, and PPD feelings of irritability and anger towards those who are unsupportive, critical or disapproving

Increase of PPD traits as self-esteem goes down

May believe that their view of themselves as “pathetic” is due to other’s actions (external attribute vs internal, as in “pure” AVPD)

Increase of PPD traits in times of stress

The Phobic Avoidant

AVPD with DPD traits

Conflicted between desire for close relationships vs possibility of abandonment and criticism

“Barely tolerable” feelings of anxiety and dread

Shift feelings of fear and anger onto a symbolic substitute in order to prevent rejection, humiliation and shame (e.g., shifting their anxiety of rejection from their partner to anxiety about their neighbour’s dog, which enables them to continue to depend on their partner without fear)

Uses fear as a cry for help, lessening the possibility of abandonment by getting support

The Self-Deserting Avoidant

AVPD with Depressive Personality Disorder traits

Use fantasy to avoid discomfort of social interaction

They are aware of this avoidance and makes them more aware of their perceived inadequacy

Fantasy gradually becomes less effective, increasing their depression

“More and more, they cannot tolerate being themselves”, seeking to withdraw from not only relationships but themselves

Can lead to self-neglect, self harm and even suicide

Can cause emotional numbing and dissociation

In particularly severe cases, their sense of self may fragment, similar to STPD and BPD. This allows them to become observers of their situation without the emotional pain

Note: all definitions are taken directly from Millon's writings, which are quite old, with only a few edits and rephrasings to make things more digestible to a modern audience.

Strawberries & Cream Scones

8 medium strawberries, quartered

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

1 Tbsp. baking powder

3 Tbsp. white granulated sugar

½ tsp. fine sea salt

5 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cold

1 cup heavy cream

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Place strawberries on a lined baking sheet. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 45 minutes, until strawberries are slightly de-hydrated. Set aside to cool.

Adjust oven rack to middle position and turn oven up to 425 degrees F.

Place flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in large bowl. Whisk together until thoroughly combined.

Using a box grater, grate the cold butter into the flour mixture. Working quickly, and using your hands, mix the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal. Gently stir in strawberries. Pour in the heavy cream and mix until the dough begins to form, about 30 seconds.

Transfer dough and all dry, floury bits to a slightly floured countertop and knead dough by hand just until it comes together into a rough, slightly sticky ball, 5 to 10 seconds. Pat the scones flat to a 1-inch thickness. You can cut the scones into 8 wedges or you can use a biscuit cutter. I did the latter and ended up with 8 round scones. Place the scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Beat an egg with a tablespoon of water together and brush the tops’ of the scones with the egg wash.

Rose Petal Jam

100g rose petals

300g (1½ cups) sugar

juice of ½ a lemon

5-6g of agar-agar

Immerse the roses in a basin of cold water and gently detach the petals, taking care to remove any aphids or other small creatures.

Cook the rose petals with the sugar, lemon and 3¼ cup of water. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes, without boiling. The water will turn pink and the petals will turn grey.

Strain to keep only the pink juice. Let cool.

Measure the juice obtained and add the equivalent of 6g of agar-agar per liter (4¼  cups) obtained.

Bring the mixture to the boil and simmer for 30 seconds.
