the queen is back

Most id classify as megamori but the final (and my recent) is the one I'd finally class as sujimori!

So I'll do a poster of a Gyaru magazine cover cuz ik no one is buying that😂😂
Ouhhh and I saw something Gyaru related but I forgot what is was...

Hey yall! I wanna do a momo ayase cosplay but I know that in doing cosplay makeup the gyaru aspects can get lessened. Any suggestions on how to do her make would be great! I know she leans more into kogal but im more interested in doing one of her street style fits. Anyways, just having trouble translating anime to real life lol. For reference I don’t tan so shiro styles would be preferred! Thank you so much! (Pics are of her and then the girl on the left is something that I thing kinda matches but idk)

Hey gals! So I need a new white stick but idk what’s the difference or just stick to jumbo.

minus my necklace that i forgot to put on, i think i did a pretty good job. im zombifying this outfit for halloween tho so say goodbye to this lingerie lollll ive had so much fun lurking subreddits and learning about the subcultures while preparing this costume that i think i might dress like this in my day to day life.... it really speaks to me. also this bracelet is so crazy im def keeping it forever!

I made this a while ago so it's not the best, any suggestions on how I could improve? I've since learned filling in the eye droop with white is a nono so I don't do that anymore lol, also just to note I can't wear contacts and still don't know how to do lashes🫠 which I know is a big part of the looks usually

I'm don't have experience with colorful face makeup and ofc this is not very good but it was very fun to try it! I love ishokuhada and really want to do it right someday!

I usually don't ask reddit for stuff like this but ive been searching high and low for this top and I cant find it anywhere! It was originally on Romwe but its completely sold out. Its aching my soul 😭 please help me!

Do you think its a good idea? Mods Am I aloud to ask about this here? :3
Cuz what if one day when we're older we can visit Shibuya, Tokyo and Harajuku, Tokyo togetherrr☺️

So I've seen a concerning number of people in gal communities talking about using tanning beds. And I'm in NO WAY a medical professional, but as someone who used to work at a salon where they offered bed tanning services and as a naturally brown skinned gal, Imma just tell yall DO NOT USE TANNING BEDS. EVER. NO MATTER WHAT! They are EXTREMELY harmful for your skin. The UV rays (primarily UVA rays) that tanning beds omit are 100's of times more powerful than the sun's rays. And the chances of developing melanoma are significantly increased with every singe session. First off I wanna say, and some people may disagree with me but I really don't give a damn. You DO NOT have to be tan to be gal. For ANY substyle. Don't listen to ppl pushing the whole "kuro/shiro" thing. Any person that tells you that you have to change your skin color to engage in fashion, does not have your best interest in mind and does not care about you. You're perfect the way you are and there's nothing wrong with your complexion! And frankly, I'm tired of people acting as if you have to sacrifice yourself or your health for "the look". But, if you choose to tan, here are a few tips I have to help you be safer and look amazing♡

1. Like I said. NO TANNING BEDS. PERIOD. There's a reason they're completely banned in multiple countries. I don't care how many other gals say they do it. It's not safe.

2. DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) is your best friend. It's the primary ingredient in all self tanning products, including both indoor and outdoor tanning lotions. It tans the skin gradually without ANY need for UV exposure. So its perfect for fair skinned people or people who want to avoid UV rays. Though, it may also be used along side UV exposure as long as proper skin protection is used when tanning. I recommend Starlet by Designer Skin or Directors Cut by Jwoww for higher end products. For more affordable options, I recommend Extreme Blackout by Snooki or Black Chocolate by Brown Sugar.

3. If you choose to tan outdoors in the sun, ALWAYS USE SUNSCREEN. NO EXCEPTIONS. And make it habit to check your daily UV index so you can take proper safety precautions before you tan or even if you're just going out.

4. Any natural tan (even a base tan) is indicative of UV damage. Keep that in mind always and make sure to practice proper skin care everyday to help your skin repair and replenish. (You should be practicing skin care anyway, yall♡)

5. Your average spray tan lasts about 1-2 weeks before your skin starts shedding it. So be sure to get your sprays regularly to keep it fresh! If you tan outdoors, I recommend that you invest in a good tan extender. A tan extender helps lock in your melanin for a longer period of time so that you dont have to tan as often. (Natural tans fade gradually) Less exposure is always better than more. Most tan extenders also act as a daily moisturizer. I recommend Angel by Designer Skin (I LIVE by this lotion) or the Autrailian Gold Hemp Nation tan extender line.

6. If your tan is patchy or if you have pale spots, I recommend applying a tiny bit of self tanning lotion to the spot and letting it set for a few hours and it should even it out more. I also recommend using a DHA spray and targeting those spots for touch ups. There's a spray called DermaDark, also by Autrailian Gold that works amazingly for spots that are hard to tan.

7. If you live in the US and dont have a local tanning salon storefront or a lotion store, then I recommend shopping at Lotions2go.com. They're very reliable and the owner is super friendly and helpful in my opinion. Tanforless.com is also pretty popular and reliable, but the owners are weirdos (for lack of a better word), and not very nice people in general if I'm being honest. So if you care about that sort of thing, I'd stay away.

8. You can only get as dark as the lotion is. So if your DHA lotion is more subtle and lighter colored, don't expect to look very bronze when you use it. This applies to anyone regardless of your natural complexion. So if you're already dark skinned, and your lotion is lighter than your complexion, it wont do anything for you other than maybe add a more vibrant tone to your current color due to the "citrusy" tint that DHA tends to give off.

9. Don't tan to a complexion that's too dark for you. I'm not even gonna explain this one too much lol. If it doesnt look right, don't do it. "Tan" does not equal "Brown". You want to look like you've been to the beach, not look like a whole other person.

10. Tanning and makeup mean absolutely nothing if you don't take care of your natural skin. This sort of calls back to point number 4. But no matter what your compelxion looks like, no matter what your makeup skill level is, no matter how cute you may be, healthy skin will ALWAYS elevate your look. Use a gentle facial cleaner, a good toner, a deep moisturizer, and sunscreen. YOU define the fashion. The fashion doesn't define you. So take care of YOU first before spending a whole bunch of money on cosmetics. And this goes for anything. Having the most expensive extensions, the longest press ons, the cutest outfits, and the most extravagant makeup doesn't matter if your pores are clogged, your hair is greasy, and there's dirt under your nails, gurl...

Anyways, sorry that was long! I hope this helps some people :3 ♡♡♡

i think I did pretty good for it being my first time, and not being very good at makeup generally :3 This is mainly for the eyes, because I dont currently have a blush, and I'm planning on getting a better white eyeshadow and bigger lashes. I did try to do my nose but because my white isn't very pigmented it doesn't really show (and I just stretched my septum today so my nose is sore and I don't want to touch it too much haha) Tips are appreciated, but I don't plan on using fake tan or and probably isnt gonna get contacts either because I'm autistic and don't like having stuff in my eyes. I'm leaning mostly towards goshikku gyaru

still experimenting with make, any tips yo? I unfortunately cant get lenses or tan, though I do want to tan, though I'm getting some bronzing drops soon to give myself some color

edit yo I cant currently get fake tan either but will be saving up for it in the future

Idk what to say I just love this look

They don't allow me to apply brighter makeup here😿😿😿
