Today I'm going to introduce you to two types of lollita and each sunday will introduce you to two more. So to start the ball rolling I will begin with ......
- Gothic Lollita.
- Sweet Lollita
Gothic Lollita
A Gothic Lolita outfit is much like the other lollita styles as it can be recognized by the usual bell-shaped skirt and puff-sleeves. A Gothic Lolita outfit is usually comprised of black or rich dark colors such as burgundy, purple and navy. It is common for this style to involve details in complementary or contrasting colors, such as the infamous black and white coordination choice. (which I personally think is more appealing to the eye)
The makeup for this style can range from a light natural look to a dramatic smokey eye with a dark red lip depending on the outfit and occasion.
A common mistake by beginners that is well worth mentioning is the use of black lipstick and whiteface. Both whiteface and black lipstick take away from the elegance of the lolita style and should only be used as stage makeup as a general rule.

Sweet Lollita Sweet Lolita is probably most over-the-top style,it is also the most child-like of the lolita styles, using many bows, ruffles and light colors to make up an outfit. The most common colors used in a Sweet Lolita outfit are pink, white, and powder blue, but an outfit can be made with nearly any pastel colors. Common motifs in Sweet Lolita are toys, strawberries, cherries, cakes and candies, hearts, polka dots and flowers. Prints that are inspired by fairy tales are also quite common these days. The Make-up is light, natural and will complement the style. Hair is commonly worn in pigtails and bouncy curls. An example  So thats my two lollita styles of the day. I would finally like to add in that all my prayers go out to all the people in Japan who are suffering after the terrible earthquake and Tsunami and that I hope that loved ones that are missing are found. Until next time xoxo Laura |
