My skin is very dry and super sensitive to makeup, I haven’t found a single foundation or concealer that didn’t cause me to break out. I don’t really want to ruin my whole face just for a makeup look. Obviously. But if it’s absolutely necessary, I’ll just bite through it, could be worse. Still, it’s worth asking first before turning myself into a pizza face. I also added some reference pictures so y’all know what typa makeup I’m talking about.

I usually do a more toned-down style like Hime, so this is a bit new to me. Ik I should have lashes on, I just ran out today, which is why I just threw on some random small ones on top. So pls don't go too hard on me for being lashless :C

Also, if anyone has any bottom lash recs that'd be great bc my fav brand for bottom lashes just got discontinued!

Please ignore my eye, there’s still leftover mascara.

So. I want to pluck my eyebrows, but I have no idea what shape would fit best. I’m going for an old school/ganguro look, so not super duper 2000s runway thin. I’m not very experienced with eyebrow shapes, so any advice would be appreciated! :)

If you can, saving my picture to your gallery and drawing the shape that would fit the vibe best over my eyebrow would be great! Obviously not a must, but it would really help me!

basically all but two of the gals are from angeleek and I'm not sure of the identity of the last four gals!

i see all the time of things like "baby gals shouldn't use white in their droop" or "the droop should start from where the pupil is" and I think that tends to be a bit misleading, especially when there are examples of heisei era gals doing the exact opposite. what INSTEAD is important is mastering the basics before moving on to experimenting!!! because if you're not following any framework you're gonna end up with something that won't be identifiable as gyaru - you earn the freedom to create your own ya/manba look once you fully understand the fundamentals.

i also wanted to touch on the misconception that ya/manba make is supposed to look messy. no, it is not - look at all the references I've collected!! they all look clean and polished, sure the application may be messy but the end result is what matters and the end result isn't messy!

so to baby gals / those new to gyaru, you can absolutely try new things with your make just make sure to learn the basics first!

Recently I feel like Ive hit a bit of a wall with my make and just want some advice hehe💕

gyarus doing jobs!? (we're probably the best employees anyway)

just wanted to share this look because i have never seen hi vis gyaru and yet ive seen visigoth. i honestly kinda love it!

hey guyss!! 🩷 today i wanted to ask y’all something really important to me: are fake lashes required for gyaru makeup (as a shiro gyaru)? consider the fact that i already don’t wear lenses, but i have naturally long lashes and big eyes that can achieve a similar look with just mascara!! can i probably make a larger droop and with no lashes still be read as gyaru? tell me your opinions!! (⌒ω⌒)

This set is so cute I'm so happy I got it 😭💕
PS I normally wear circle lenses but my eyes were Killing Me that day 😭

I'm not in any particular substyle but I do favor tsuyome.
