Venus Power, Make Up was the first command used by Minako Aino to transform into Sailor Venus in the anime, manga, and Crystal, and the only one used in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
Anime[edit]
First, Minako held up her transformation pen. Minako then held the pen in the air as long banners of golden stars emitted from it and swirled around her body, eventually forming a spiral. The stars sank to the ground, but then rushed upwards again, completely covering Minako's body. Sailor Venus then finished with her final pose.
Sailor Moon Crystal[edit]
In the first Sailor Moon Crystal version of this transformation, Minako held up her transformation pen and turned her hand as golden stars streamed into the tip of the pen, making it glow. She let go of the pen and made it spin as stars flashed on her fingernails, turning them yellow. The tip of the pen glowed brighter, then Minako flicked it to make it spin before taking hold of it. She held her pen over her head and began to spin, then stopped to stretch out her arm in front of herself as a long golden ribbon emitted from the pen. She slid her arm into the spiraling ribbon and turned as it wrapped around her entire body, then raised her arms to cross her wrists above her head. She drew her arms back down, and in a flash of light the ribbons disappeared while golden stars rushed upward from an expanding circle at Sailor Venus' feet as she appeared in full sailor fuku. She turned around and a crescent moon symbol appeared on her forehead. Sailor Venus then turned around once more and finished with her final pose.
In the second version after Usagi was revealed to be the real Moon Princess, Minako called out the transformation phrase as she raised her pen, and instead of the crescent moon symbol, the Venus symbol glowed on Sailor Venus' forehead before being hidden as her tiara appeared.

As Minako called out the command, her Jewelry Star Bracelet changed from its smaller, sealed form into its full form, and the gems began to glow. She swept her hand past her ear as her nails turned orange and her leotard appeared. She leapt into the air and did several twirls and flips as golden ribbons swirled past, forming her skirt and collar. She landed lightly, striking a brief pose, then strutted forward, her bow, shoes, gloves, and chain belt appearing as illusory duplicates of herself appeared around her in various poses. Her tiara appeared and a breeze filled with golden sparkles ruffled her hair, making it longer and lighter. A pair of silhouetted miniature rhythm gymnasts danced past, trailing glowing ribbons that turned her hair golden and added her hair beads. The glowing figures appeared again, forming her red hair bow. Sailor Venus then finished in her final pose as gold sparkled behind her.
