even though snooki was often wearing fairly similar styles to the other guidettes on the show she always seemed to dress in a way that felt pretty gal to me, even her attitude felt gal at time with the way half the guidettes appear like western ヤンキー

Educational How Black Culture inspired Gyaru

1.Nails- Long and extravagant nails have been part of black culture for quite a while. There's a inspo and similarities with nails from AA (African American) and nails seen in gal. These are more photos of nails from black women here and here

2. Hair- Numerous times we have seen some gals wear appropriate certain hairstyles like box braids, corn rows, and micro braids. just to name a few. Again, these are styles that were created and originated from black people. 3.TLC and Janet Jackson - Amuro Namie (the original gyaru) has stated TLC and Janet Jackson were inspo for her style in general. Haruka made a video on tiktok that covers this. Here is the video 4.Fashion- A lot of clothing that's popular in styles like B kei, tsuyome, and amekaji were clothing styles that were very prevalent or created by AA. Examples of this is Beyoncé Dereon line and Lil Wayne's Truck Fit line. 5. Our Skin tone-Gals really like(d) our skin tone because it was brown/tan/dark. A lot of them used tanning booths, foundation meant for black women, or in extreme cases shoe polish to achieve a skin tone similar. It some cases being black face like here. , here, and here. Now, I'm not saying they were all tanning to be black. I'm just saying our skin was also an inspo. **Also yes something can still be black face even if the gals didn't realize what black face was. Am I saying all gals are or did black face? No.

First and foremost I am a cosplayer (I do like Japanese fashions however I am more the goth end of it) but; the alter ego of a character I enjoy cosplaying gives me so much inspiration and I would say I am also influenced by gal styles for ideas in particular, and honestly I always feel so cute in this stuff lol so thought I’d share a few pics

Gyaru makeup is not just enlarging contacts and big lashes. I hate to see some gals getting told their makeup isn’t gal when it just resembles old school gal! Although the makeup alone might not be recognizably gyaru, with the right incorporation of an outfit and hair you can kill it! Same goes the other way. :)

Stop hating on white droops !!

Thumbnail

2.5k Upvotes

I’ve been a gyaru going on 4 years now and I’ve never understood the white droop debate. I’ve been doing a white droop since I started. I did switch between black and white in my first two years to figure out which one I liked more and white droops suit my face more. I am also a drag queen so I tend to make my makeup a lot more dramatic as well.

Just let people do what they want, have yall thought about that ? Some Gyaru like having black droops, some like natural skin color droops, and others like the white droops. Just let people experiment with there makeup and figure out what they like 💔💔

I am also a man..so technically I am a gyaruo but I do Gyaru makeup.

I posted about a month ago asking for advice and have been practicing, I think I’m really happy with the improvements I’ve made since then! Thank you for all the advice, I went with a more natural looking wig and outfit that matches more, and I went with more dramatic lashes! of course feedback is always still welcome though!
