Approaching 1 million views on YouTube, this interesting video highlights the difference between American and Japanese makeup styles. Less than two minutes long, it's sped up to show how each makeup style is applied and how they differ.  

The video maker is Venus Angelic, known as "The Living Doll" after her 2012 video highlighting her doll-like features topped 13 million views. A split-screen between the two makeovers is edited into one view, with American and Japanese flags in the corners to help you keep track of which style is which.
