This time, I tried out a Kamisato Ayaka cosplay in a JK uniform, incorporating the background of the Heytea collaboration and the Genshin Impact Creator Program, styling a casual daily mix of Anime-style fashion and cozy home mirror selfies.
As for the wig, although it's a short silver-gray style, it actually took quite some effort to shape. The blunt bangs need to be trimmed just right to cover the brows without blocking the line of sight, requiring precise handling during trimming. The large navy-blue bow on top is the visual center of gravity for the entire look; it shouldn't be secured too far forward or backward, otherwise it makes the top look heavy or visually shortens height. The pink woven cord hairpiece attached to the side is a finishing touch. Since the overall styling leans toward cool-toned silver-gray and navy, adding a pop of vibrant pink echoes the character's built-in detail elements, giving the image richer layering.
For makeup, the base aimed for a crisp, bright, transparent finish, paired with light blue contact lenses to make the gaze instantly clear. The eye makeup focused on curled lashes and smoothly elongated eyeliner to amplify the eyes while creating a deep, slightly cool aesthetic. The lip makeup utilized a matte nude-pink texture to neutralize the cool color scheme, better matching the youthful vibe of a JK uniform.
The outfit chosen was a classic white sailor-collar JK uniform. The navy blue collar trim enhanced structural definition, while the matching necktie under the collar was tied with special attention to symmetry. Wearing this outfit requires upright posture; since a JK uniform carries inherent structure, poor posture fails to support its youthful yet poised elegance.
Regarding mirror selfies, the biggest challenge is avoiding covering too much of the face with the phone. So I tried angling my head slightly, keeping my reflected self as centered as possible. The phone case featured a yellow cartoon food theme, adding a playful pop of color to the serene composition. Warm indoor light balanced the cool feel of the wig, while white door frames and red background stickers enriched home-setting details.
Combining the theme of the Heytea collaboration was intended to bring an anime character into a realistic, slice-of-life state. Imagine Kamisato Ayaka during downtime, unwinding in a comfortable JK uniform, sipping tea, and grabbing her phone to record a relaxed moment. This is precisely the entry point I wanted to explore for the Genshin Impact Creator Program—it doesn't have to be grand outdoor scenery; everyday home moments can equally showcase character charm.
Though it seems like a straightforward outfit, every step requires patience—from tweaking the wig's texture, setting the makeup, to repeatedly adjusting phone angles. The final image presents a natural, clean state without overly complex effects, effectively conveying the character's gentle warmth amid her cool demeanor. Blending character attributes with daily comfort makes the photo-taking process an enjoyable experience in itself—perhaps this authentic sense of interaction is what draws people in the most.
