I am obsessed with the Gyaru look and love how dedicated the followers of this fashion are to achieving and maintaining the standard of this look.
The key components of this look consists of big puffy, curled and usually beached hair, all shades of peach, salmon, ashen violet and caramel coloured hair tones.
Makeup is another key part of this look and these girls go to extremes in achieving clean black lines and carefully applying top and bottom eyelashes to get the dolly round eye look.
They only really use black eye makeup and are skillful artisans in corrective eye makeup techniques. Again they are provided with education and support by their makeup industry and magazines.
In my opinion natural is fine but good hair and makeup makes you feel better about your self and boosts confidence, why would you want to be natural and disappear into the sea of other naturals, I would rather turn heads.
My friend Jesse Tansiri (RIP 1991-2011) introduced me to these Japanese magazines a few years back and was a devout Gyaru herself, we would spend hours talking glamour.
She visited Japan before she left us and was telling me that the average girl spends 2 hours daily doing her hair and and makeup, even the lady cleaning the toilets has bleached teased hair and fake eyelashes on. Also just in case your desperate they sell fake eyelashes and lash glue at the 711 convenience store.
I have the up most respect for anyone willing to demonstrate their love for themselves by putting in the time and effort to achieving head turning glamour, they deserve every compliment and wolf whistle they get, they worked for it.
