Shameless Maya, the alias of Toronto-born, New York-based multi-talented artist and YouTube celebrity Maya Washington, has cooked up a couple of adorable looks for Valentine's Day, which she has dubbed Kawaii Valentine Crush. Embracing Japanese anime and pop culture, she dons a few wigs, some cute clothes and transformative makeup to become a cartoon version of herself for the romantic holiday.
Complete with an easy-to-follow tutorial, the Kawaii Valentine Crush look is broken down so that women can achieve their own big-eyed appearance for Valentine's Day. Of course, they don't have to go as over-the-top as Shameless Maya has with her bubblegum pink hair and contact lenses. Not to mention her high-pitched voice and obsession with American actor and heartthrob Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
