hair (very old info): She doesn't like going to the hair salon, so sometimes she cuts her own hair. She used to like to wear her hair in the Japanese okappa style, which is a style where the hair is the same length all the way around, the bangs are shorter and even. When she had short hair she would perm it, hair wax it, or fuzz is up with hair spray and a hair band (Bunkaya Zakkaten hair bands are her favorite). She also likes HARD MAKE products. When she uses pins to hold her hair up they are usually Y's / PARK. She used to keep her hair it's natural black color, then she bleached it out blonde for a while.
hair (old info): For the JAM Fresh album and Nina, she had been growing it out longer and dying it a natural-looking dark red-brown. Occationaly she seemed to mix this with more blondeish highlights (this might have been for certain events however). She cut it into a slightly messy long layered look.
hair (a few years ago): For Mean Machine and her solo debut she has dyed it back to that gorgeous natural jet black! She wears it down a lot with no special styling. As usual she has those adorable evenly cut bangs. In some photos you can still see some brown highlights when the sun shines on her hair, this indicates that her current black color is dyed (to mask her previous coloring) and is not her natural black.
hair (more recently): More recently she keeps her hair in a short, brown okappa style with bangs, but also wears a variety of similarly styled wigs in varying colors -like blonde, black, and auburn.
make-up (very old info): Great Lash water proof mascara and eyeliner, cleansing Evian gel, skin and moisture lotion, Body Shop eye gel, Inoui lip pencil BR775, Mary Quant Lipstick, Christian Dior and Chanel products... etc
make-up (old info): Inoui face powder transperant neutral, Bourjois Leveres Contour 37, Mebelline Dial-a-Lash black mascara, Epor Strawberry Daiquiri laquer nail polish, Stila pressed powder compact, SECHE top coat (nail), Kesalan Patharan artis 242, Shu Uemura [M pink 33C, yellow 330, P silver 91], Visee gelly gloss PK80, Lip Brilliant gloss G28.
make-up (a few years ago): Yuki could be seen wearing little or no make-up. In January's Rockin' On Japan she is seen wearing only a light lipstick and mascara, and possibly some pressed powder (she has her face in the sand quite a bit, so it most likely rubbed of during the photo shoot). It is uncertain if this is her everyday style, or if it is merely for artistic purposes. She also was no wearing much make up for her interview with Cutie in April.
make-up (more recently): Yuki continues to be seen in magazines and album/single photoshoots with very light, natural makeup. She seems to focus on the lips with a glossy finish.
