Gyaru Fashion

I really love Japanese Gyaru's fashion. Please do not get Gyaru and Ulzzang mix up. Gyaru is the Japanese term in English for 'GIRL'. And Ulzzang is the Korean word for best face in Korea. Anyways, I really love how both put their make-up (cosmetics on), their fashions, and especially how they do their hair. I'm not really a fan of nails, but I think they are really cute too. As you can see it's hard to imitate their looks. Of course I'm really into the Korean industry of fashions and make up now and days, but I still love Japanese Gyaru's girl since it was first what inspired my fashion.

In a make-up tutorial. A gyaru puts on heavy or light make up. Using both false bottom and top lashes, anime/ or any colored contacts, and a brand lipstick. You start with a clear and clean face. first use concealer to cover the dark circles of the eyes, then use your favorite foundation, use a light powder around the face using a foundation brush in circular motion. Prime the eyes with a shadow base, and use your favorite eye shadows. Then use a light eyeliner to draw a base for the liquid eyeliner. For girls who goes out all day, try liquid eyeliner (waterproof) to protect against sweat and wind. Do reapply often. Curl lashes, then use your favorite mascara. Apply a pink/ bronze blush and a favorite lipstick/ lip gloss. And ....ta-da, FINISH! Gyaru having the perfect make-ups.

























For curling hair. Gyaru's often use the same hair color of the dyed or original hair extensions. I think it's really unique, because one day a girl's hair can be short, but the next it is really long. Like a wig, but in any uptight fashion. Curling is the main key of any Gyaru look.

Lastly, a fashion tip, Gyaru's are really cute, sexy, and hip when it comes to fashion. Especially street fashion, I don't know why more American girls and I mean by any Race/ethnicity would buy brand clothing costing up to $50.00 to $100.00 such as abercrombie or Am.Eagle, while Gyaru's can spend up to $3 to $20.00 buying a whole pair of outfits? Japan is really fashionable by the way. And cheap looks can become unique in every girl. It's like everyone live like beauty queens. Some of my friends said, "Look, we don't live in Japan". I know, but it's always fun to celebrate other cultures. Besides what race am I if I'm not Asian? Just spreading the love. :) But these are brand tips on Gyaru's fashion. I just....Love them.
