Q: How did you find about Gyaru?
A: puhh, actually it is hard to remember because I feel like lately when looking up old stuff I got inspo from it turned out to be gyaru without me knowing about it. if I had to point out something, it might have been tumblr or weheartit. I liked and reposted a lot of girly himekaji looks and at some point the term "gyaru" got thrown around, so I kinda knew about it and gained inspo from it too but didn't call myself gyaru until later on.
Q: What was your first gyaru look and how would you score it today?
A: My first looks were a mix of everything. I had a hard time finding my own personal style and switched between booms too quickly to actually make good looks. My makeup was more on the natural/girly-spectrum, I am a lot more daring today. Personally, I feel like when looking at my old pics, I look exactly how a gyaru beginner just looks like. You need to give yourself time to progress.
Q: What's the most important thing to be gyaru?
A: Having a passion for it. Gyaru is really intense in every category. You will spend a lot of time practicing, researching, working on your tan, your hair, your styling etc. and for that you will need dedication and perseverance. You will have a hard time if you don't own passion for it.
Gyaru is a 24/7-hobby for me.
Q: What was the most difficult thing for you when you started?
A: Making good looks that are coherent. I switched between booms too much and since my research used to be mostly online through websites likes pinterest, there was a bit of everything all at once.
It helped me a lot when I looked into actual magazines, sorted it through year of publication and spent more time on details.
Q: Which products would you recommend for beginners?
A: When looking out for makeup I recommend getting foundation in two shades: a light one and a dark one, that way you can mix the color you need, even when tanning or losing tan. Make sure your eyeliner is well-pigmented and long-lasting. I paint strokes on my hand and let it dry, then try rubbing it off with my finger, the one that is still on is the winner. In my case it's the NYX Epic Ink Liner, it has been my winner so far all the time. A good white eyeshadow pen helps you with highlighting your tearbag.
Q: Do you think gyaru is expensive?
A: Yes and no. It is more cost-intensive over time compared to not focusing on your looks of course. However I believe a lot of beginners lose a lot of money due to lack of research. They get scalped off by buying old brand that has no value. They restrict themselves by lacking creativity. You can make great outfits by buying local, or cheap. I talk out of experience here, I wish I knew what I know today when I was a beginner.
Q: How did you learn to do the makeup?
A: Trial and error. Change any detail of your meiku and the result will be different. Lash, Eyeliner, Lenses and Eyeshadow. If you change one thing, you might have to fix the others to match it. I still try different techniques today and see what works and what doesn't. It also underestimated how much the eyebrows can impact the look.
Q: Are there any No-Gos in Gyaru style for you?
A: Not being coherent I guess haha. Luckily, there is a huge variety of styles within gyaru and the style is very broad, so there will be something for every taste, wether you like it girly, sexy, wild, professional, cute, sporty or preppy. Most gals lack the attention to detail.
Q: How does your surroundings react to your style?
A: People got used to it but I received lots of comments in the beginning. It is important to remember, that is inevitable that you will receive comments, you just need to keep on doing what you like. I have tried so many different styles (gothic, cute, sporty, sexy etc.) it was interesting to watch how people perceived and treated you differently but in overall I can say, if you have manners and are friendly, most people don't care. It is quite the opposite of what I assumed: I receive many compliments.
Q: What mistakes have you done in the past that you avoid now?
A: Not spending time for details and "choosing" a substyle. Not developing a personal style is the death of every gal. I stopped thinking of terms like tsuyome, agejo, hime etc. and instead think of girly, cute, summer vibes, cozy etc. and just pick clothes I like.
Q: How do you stay motivated when you are "out of gyaru mood"?
A: Do just that, not wear gyaru. I think it is okay to have different interests and allow yourself to experiment with other styles and makeups. It actually helps the development I think, because you get inspiration from other sources and train your visual and styling skills. Sometimes I like to mix styles, to challenge myself.
Q: Where do you find your inspiration today?
A: As most people know, I do not own social media, so my options are limited. I do have pinterest and I read blogs but I think I get a lot of inspiration by just "online shopping" and creating collages for myself.
Q: Whats your favourite gyaru-feature of yourself?
A: Haha definitely my nails!
Q: What would you tell someone if they want to be gyaru but doesn't have the courage?
A: People will criticize you regardless of what you do. If you are evil, they will criticize you for being evil. If you are friendly, they will criticize you for being too friendly. During life it will happen over and over again and you do yourself good by getting a thick skin. I rather be criticized by people, whose opinions don't matter, for being who I really am and being happy with it than forever living in a cage, build by insecurities.
