It looks a little darker in person, it's hard to see on camera plus my shit lighting lol. Ik there's a three shade rule, idk if this breaks it tho. I use a white setting powder that makes most of make makeup look lighter than it actually is so there's that to consider too

I've been a gyaru for 4 months and one of the first things I ever did as a baby gal was post on r/actualgyaru. and wow did I get some extreme critic, it was not accurate gyaru makeup on the slightest and to top it off I had a bad attitude and was very defensive to the critic I received. But I continued to post and I continued to receive advice that helped me learn more and more and actually lock in to being the best gyaru I can be.

I'm grateful because without the criticism I don't think my make would be where it is today, without the sources I was provided that members and mods in actualgyaru pointed me towards (like galrevo) i wouldn't have the knowledge and extreme interest I have of gyaru.

I keep seeing this sentiment that actualgyaru is horrible for baby gals and I completely disagree, it's untrue. i love the sub it's my favorite gyaru sub!!! and i am soooo so appreciative of all the members and the mod team. Thank you eternally for helping me get where I am now 🩷

Tbh sometimes I come here and see so many ppl worried about the silliest things, getting swept up in online discourse, and practically asking people for permission to be gal. I say this with love in my heart, but some ppl in this community NEED to log off and actually go out and experience real life fashion culture because I promise you, staying locked up inside, scrolling on reddit, and constantly trying to figure out how to "improve" will get you nowhere. The internet is a good place to gather info, share ideas, and gain inspiration. But some of yall spend more time online trying to "learn" and "achieve" a certain image of gal, rather than learning through ACTION and actually doing the thing! GO DO THE THING! stop asking randos online over and over again "Does this read as gal?" "Can I wear this and be gal?" Etc, etc. Shut up, do your make, fix your hair, put on your outfit, go OUT, and LIVE YOUR GAL LIFE. Respectfully ♡♡♡

I always wore a soft/coquette style 2 years ago i got into the himekaji/Roma subculture. I really want to know howw to style it but the thing is that i suck at doing so, i watched videos and read in forums but i feel like something in my outfits is missing. I dont have money to buy clothes so i try to style myself to with handme downs, thrifed clothes and tailor them.

Also storse like vinted do not send stuff to where i live and trying it it would be even more expensive. I see girls rocking cute heels or boots and i only have sandals, a pair of red mary jane heels and converse. The same with fluffly dresses or skirts. NO matter how much effort i put on an outfit i feel it always ends up looking basic

I really need help on how to style my clothes with a low budget, ill be gratefull for any kind of advice of what to add, where to by, tailoring or styling any kind of advice is useful.

Here is an example on how would i style myself (with similar clothes that i own), on a fun day:

Baby gal, rlly struggling with my makeup!! I have had to start wearing lash extensions bc I’m allergic to almost every strip lash glue, and I’m trying to follow old magazine tutorials but every time I just look so.. bleh? Also I do have contacts but I only have black ones, also have become allergic to my liquid eyeliner!! Any advice is rlly rlly appreciated <3 The first photo is what it looks like when I attempt gyaru makeup, the second one is what my usual makeup looks like!!

Hi everyone, apologies in advance if this isn’t allowed in the subreddit! I am a j-fashion enthusiast and a college of business graduate developing a USA based J-Fashion brand that I plan to launch next year. If anyone has the time to take this survey and give me their thoughts on what they would like to see from an indie brand I would be so grateful 🙏💗 thank you so much!!

Do you guys like ittt

No es mi intención que el post suene agresivo ni mucho menos insultante por lo que me disculpo de ante mano si llega a suceder, no hablo inglés y no sé qué tal es la traducción que ofrece reddit, pero quería desahogarme y liberar un poco de frustración con mi opinión sobre el Gyaru actualmente.

Soy una persona que ha vivido inconscientemente rodeado de la comunidad Gyaru por mis gustos, llevo unos 7 años aproximadamente investigando más a fondo al respecto sin llegar a ser parte de la comunidad ya que me gusta experimentar con mi estilo entre distintas subculturas, por lo que se me es difícil aferrarme a una sola ya que siento que me estaría limitando a mí mismo.

He tenido la intención de ponerme la etiqueta Gyaru sin embargo siento que mucha de la comunidad Gyaru, sobre todo la Gaijin se ha vuelto sumamente tóxica con lo que denominan Gyaru y con quién entra. Muchos sienten que tienen su propia denominación de lo que es ser Gyaru y lo que no añadiendo reglas obligatorias y basándose únicamente en el Heisei o en el Reiwa, ignorando completamente los muchísimos estilos con los que cuenta la subcultura y la libertad de querer usar lo que deseamos. Si veo a alguien usando poco maquillaje saltan a criticar porque eso no es Gyaru ya que no lleva “x, y, z”, y también con personas que intentan experimentar con looks más arriesgados porque nuevamente falta “x, y, z”.

No sé si alguien más se siente abrumado o un poco agotado de las peleas infinitas en redes sociales sobre lo qué terminan denominando Gyaru y lo que no.

Siento que muchos se aferran o repelen al pasado, las revistas sin tomar en cuenta que una subcultura puede evolucionar y avanzar al igual que la sociedad. Muchos maquillajes que no consideran Gyaru son utilizados por Gyaru veteranas de Japón, cosas que antes no se usaban ahora sí, y siento que restringir tanto igual nos hace mal como comunidad en vez de a lo mejor ser menos críticos y ver otras perspectivas.

No hablo de rechazar u olvidar los maquillaje/ropa/estilos más famosos dentro del Gyaru, si no el considerar que no son los únicos y pueden existir y crearse nuevos en base a la sociedad en la que vivimos actualmente. Y es algo frustrante que para que el resto considere tu estilo Gyaru tengas que mostrar evidencia de X modelo que afirme que efectivamente lo que llevar puesto es "" lo suficientemente Gyaru"" y sea aceptado.

Btw son las 3:23 am, así que seguramente esté despotricando. Son libres de opinar, más no insultar, ya que es justamente una de las cosas que más critico a día de hoy...

Hiiii loves! I entered a horror magazine competition so I can meet my idol and also be the first gyaru in a horror magazine! Absolutely no pressure and no one is obligated too but I would love it if you helped me out! 🩷🩷 And you can look at my make looks in a few of the pictures ☮️

I’ve been trying out gal make for about a month since I got really hyperfixated on the style and the history and decided to attempt it! Anything I can do to improve it besides bottom lashes? I tried bottom lashes but they were a huge sensory issue 😓

Bbywashi

all i know is that they are from angeleek !!

Alguém tem ideias de penteados gyaru pra cabelo liso e sem franja? 🥺 Já achei penteados com cabelo liso mas todos possuíam franjas curtas na frente.

I’m making an oc who’s meant to be Gyaru and she’s from the 90s (specifically the late 90s from 1996 to 1998).
I’ve looked at different Gyaru outfits and created these two outfits based on what I saw and I’m wondering which one is more accurate to the actual time period. Any help is very appreciated!

I responded to my teachers weekly email early enough to get a treat, my homeroom teacher knows whats up(always has the good stuff), he also keeps a pride flag on full desplay. My OOTD, MAKE, lunch and see final slide for my kitty, her names Harmony, I didn't end up eating all my dinner, my mum just plates extra because she wants to see me and my sis fully fed(I love her so much and I know those things were probably like elephant in the room LMAOOO). Theres no furnature bc the carpet was cleaned over the hollidays, in my home country students have responsibility over classroom furnature ^^(it was in the schools main hall)

Wanted to try something more intense than my usually so you can see it more past my glasses. I think it turned out pretty good for a first time! Circle lenses are loading...

Advice wanted if you have any would be nice to help me improve! Thank you✨💕💖

i tried half and half! (half goth half gyaru) AND OMG JUST LOOOOOOOK ^^

Eu nunca interajo assim no reddit, mas acho que é o único lugar que eu poderia ter um certo alcance pra conseguir isso.

Tem gyaru's ou gyaru-o's a qui em Contagem/BH em MG?? Ou ao menos algum grupo existente de gyaru's brasileiras?? Eu preciso disso!! Me sinto sozinha não achando ninguém pessoalmente ou para conversar com o mesmo estilo que eu.

i absolutely LOVE gyaru's mindset and aesthetic but I don't know if it would look good on me especially since im a man, i'll give it a try eventually, but i would like to hear your thoughts before hand!
