Bulletproof_Beauty: My Gyaru journey #1 The Ugly Truth

I herd the dreaded words NOT GAL .OK so it wasn't said exactly like that but I felt the sting of rejection =(. Well not a rejection.....but a ehhhh your alright but you need to improve so here is the story. So I wanted to be apart of the this Black Gyaru YouTube channel that this group I'm in started. I thought I did everything right ,I posted some of my pics in Different groups I'm in and I got some good responses, I read all the right mags and researched till I couldn't research anymore well I thought I did anyway. I honestly thought that there was no question in my mind that I would be accepted. AND BOY WAS I WRONG! I will say this although I didn't 100% agree with what was said the girls were VERY helpful with there critiques of my pictures. I'm women enough to say that at first I was pissed as Anyone would be I wanted to just flip out cuz that's what I do but I didn't because they were just helping me out and stopping me from going in to something half cocked and for that I thank them . I went back and forth with the idea of quitting Gyaru all together cuz that's what I do when I don't get something right I say fuck it and quit but I didn't want to do that with this because I like it a lot well for the most part anyway. so I decided to make this a learning experience for me and I'm kinda glad it happened even though I'm a little bit disappointed but what ever shit happens ill grow from this and become better at what I do. Bellow are my critiques from the group feel free to add your critique as well the more opinions I have the better I will get well wish me luck on my journey ill post again soon <3

- Kevi Montgomery it's not about good enough, or not good enough- it's about how we are or are not improving. I think you need to work on a few things though. the hair could be lighter, as with the brows. dark black hair is rare in gyaru, and it can appear harsh, which it's doing here. also, contouring and highlighting would sculpt your face alot. as far as lips, go nude. maybe just foundation on your lips with a slight shine. blush should be an orangish tinted or peach color because ti'll show up on your skin color, but not look too clownish

- PluSsized Sky I actually like this look in its own general state,lashes,cat eye shape a bit.. thought I would try and highlight more of the tear ducts. idk wht it is but something needs to be improved for the bottom eyeliner.. I wouldn't wear the red contacts lol but some people can def pull it off.. what style are you in to?

- Kevi Montgomery and the eye make-up, try to extend your eye shape downwards a little, the way the make-up is done suggests that your eyes are tilted upwards in the corners. IMO

- Vonna Bailey ok i will try that but thems the only lenses i got so i work with what i can ya know

- Kevi Montgomery ‎:3 I think with the right make-up, red eyes can be a very striking look, but not unless the make-up compliments/ distracts from them.

- Lolo Gilbert I ageee with sky. You'd probably be better off not using the red lenses becauase they take away from your makeup. :)

- Crystal Ezeoke I have red lenses similar to these but only used them for Halloween. Idk...maybe in goth gyaru you could potentially get away with it but it's very risky if you don't know exactly what you're doing just yet.

- Sukoa Person I think she could make the red lens work. With the right make up they could be okay. The pink pair I have make me look like a vampire lol.

  PluSsized Sky yes! I think green would look great with your skin tone. && this is no problem.. Red is fine.. just have to have the right makeup look for it. :) I can't wait to see you in green. ♥

  Lolo Gilbert Okay well first i want to say i use the same foundation :3 okay anywhoo, with contouring did you use the highlight on your nose, becauase it really isn't optional not to highlight your nose. It defeats the purpose of contouring becauase your then looks kind of dirty and not much slimmer. Also i would recommend applying eyeliner then lashes also using mascara because it minimizes the gap between your natural lashes and falses. Also contouring and highlight your jawline and cheeks and bottom lashes. Thicker liner and eyeshadow on the bottom lid. Its a good start but its not gal yet. Good luck lovely♥

  PluSsized Sky I can't really tell from this because of the bloomy efftect on the picture. It doesn't scream gal to me...

  Lolo Gilbert False lashes. Also apply some eyeliner and eyeshadow to your bottom lid. I wouldn't recommend extending the black eyeshadow out much use a less opaque color such as gray or silver and extend your liner more towards te inner and outer corner. Also contour your face def:)

  Crystal Ezeoke Yeah if you could, try to upload "raw" pictures of your gyaru make up. As in not edited whatsoever. If you have to make the picture slightly brighter so that it is more clear for us to see that's fine, but the bloom effect does make it difficult to tell what's really going on.
