First attempt at gyaru, did I do alright?
I don't have mascara or false lashes so this is just eyeliner and shadow. i know the wig isn't great I bought it a couple years ago lmao

I am so excited to wear my new swimsuits out omg. Rn I just wear them in my friends hot tub😭 Its not even that sunny today but I cant take pics with my eyes open, sun hurts soo bad.
Im very happy with my make today 🤍 I found this tropical hello kitty background and its literally the cutest thing ever 😭
I made these nails a while ago and wanted to share them here 💖✨
They're inspired by Babymetalclub prints.
Do any of you make your own gyaru-inspired items too? Nails, clothes, accessories… show me! I'd love to see them
i reckon you could land a plane on my forehead. but here are some recent going-out looks.
honestly, the second picture is… not very gal. this is mainly because of my lash shortage (which will be solved soon!!!). perhaps it’s something more sinister and evil. haha
Triangle park was the birth place of the magazine street snap, had to take the pilgrimage,

I am trying to fill my feed with as much Gyaru content as possible to get inspo. I follow many jp gals but struggle to find active gaijin gals.
I love styles like agejo, Hime, and tsuyome.
Any recommendations on people I should check out?
I noticed in the online community on social media people have been increasingly stating that gyaru and specifically ganguro and the other substyles it encompasses are specifically inspired by black american culture but is that true from Japan's viewpoint? They also sometimes say this in a weird way to sort of disparage and disregard Japanese gyaru which is weird to me.
The reason I ask is bc from what I know ganguro has a connection to Japanese folklore, particularly kabuki, and yamanba is the name of a yokai. The fashion seen in this substyle also looks more inspired by cultures and imagery of pacific islanders and specifically Hawaiians. The bleach blonde look is inspired by the "California girl" look. The tans are about doing the opposite of Japan's societal expectations. The extreme makeup is about going against the idea of natural beauty standards.
So I am wondering what are others thoughts on this? Where does the inspiration from American black culture come in to this specific substyle? I can def see the inspiration from black culture in substyles like tsuyome and amekaji, but not ganguro.
I just think sometimes Americans have to be less American-centered and more open-minded when engaging and participating with subcultures that originated in other countries that have their own unique social issues unrelated to the USA's history.
EDIT: Btw I am not saying none of gyaru has influence from black culture!!! I know some of the substyles do. I am just saying for ganguro it doesn't make sense when we look at the history of the style and I just really don't understand why people say it. I don't know what gyaru from Japan think about it bc they barely talk about gaijin issues.
i struggled a LOT with putting on the false eyelashes, ESPECIALLYYY the bottom ones….any tips are very much appreciated! i’m definitely gonna hit the magazines even harder after this lol
(also this looks extra sloppy since i did it at like 1 in the morning since i couldn’t sleep and was bored af 😭)
I bought this belt because I wanted to wear it to an anime event I went to last month. I really like it, but I want to be into the gyaru tsuyome substyle... so I don't know if it suits me that well. What do you think? Can someone help me, please?😭😭
Recently I feel like Ive hit a bit of a wall with my make and just want some advice hehe💕
my dress is strapless so i drew on a sweater LMFAO but this is what we gotttt… yeahhh!!!
they’re a little uneven but nobody is perfect
