Hey cutie! So I’ve uploaded my first ever hime gyaru tutorial on my YouTube channel ଘ(੭ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ✩‧₊˚ These ones do require the use of half wigs/rope wigs/etc, but I am planning on doing one in future with my natural hair!
Hope you’ll like it ♡
Many years ago I used to curl my hair with curling tongs, only for them to drop a couple of hours later. It took longer for me to curl them than for them to actually stay, so I have long since given up on doing them. I much prefer doing no-heat wavy hair tutorials over drooping curls any day! Not only does it mean that I won’t damage my hair, but it saves me time for having to style it before a gal meet. It’s a win/win situation and since you’ve asked me how I did it in this post, I decided to not only create a hair tutorial on how I get my wavy hair, but to also create some other no-heat hair tutorials that I do when I’m on the go!
I’ve been into gyaru for quite a while now but there was always something lacking in my appearance – the gyaru hair. Work and uni took quite a lot of my spare time so I haven’t been able to experiment that much, but with uni over I can hopefully try some new styles out! This idea was enforced when my girl Chewiee did my hair for Hyper Japan (see pics here) and I really want to focus more on my hair and get the basics down!
To help myself – and hopefully you – out I’ve compiled a collection of both video tutorials and picture tutorials. Let’s work on this together!
There are times where I wish I could do gyaru at work. The thing is that prioritise sleep over slapping my face on with makeup, which makes those weekends for dolling up even more precious. However I do want to be an everyday gyaru wherever possible so I spent the last few weeks collecting lots of easy hair and makeup tutorials and then I thought… Why not share this collection with my readers?
Below you’ll find a whole set of hair and makeup tutorials that are great for the everyday gyaru/gal! I hope you find them useful!
Once again I have split this into two posts – a main post and an outfit one – because I felt I had too many photos for just one D:
I’m beginning to love this makeup style! Think it really lengthens my eyes~ I’ve been trying to experiment with different make techniques, but I found that I always have done this one throughout my “gal” life…
LOLOLOL please ignore the lil’ shiny thing on brow… Idk what it is or how it got there! 😛
Looking oh-so-mysterious into the distance.. Ish.
My coord! I was originally gonna’ wear my gladiator shoes with no socks but it was a
lot colder than I expected >< Damn British weather!
Before I go, what would you like to see on my blog? Is there a particular style of gal that you would like to see me try? I’m open to ideas! ^^
I can’t believe that it’s been over a week since I last posted o_O I remember when I used to post like four or five times a week… Geez I need to get my ass back into gear >_>
Anyways. I was supposed to be going out with my friends tonight but some stuff cropped up so I’m gonna’ be heading to Wagamama with Stef! I know we go there like, every time he’s down in Kent, but he’s hardly ever down so… Yeah. I mean, he comes down once a month now, which sucks ;_; So it’s no wonder that all of my posts about him; I only ever doll up when he comes down lolololol.
I managed to get my hands on some talcum powder and dry shampoo, and I used them to make my wig less shiny! I have to say that it looks SO much better. I also brushed through it so that the curls didn’t look so, well, curly (a tip given to me by the lovely Rox!) so it feels great to wear ^^
I also received my order from boohoo the order day! I’m so so happy with it >///< And I’m wearing it today 😀 I wanted to go for the rokku theme ’cause I love rokku… I seem to be wearing it quite a bit OTL.
Because it is rather chilly I can up with the idea of wearing my patterned tights underneath my ripped jeans~ ^^ Some deatil shots! ^^
Boohoo top, Claire’s choker, BHS necklace (lol),
West Coast leggings, New Look jeans,
New Look shoes.
And this was the lovely food we had at Wagamama! It was weird though, ’cause we spent less than an hour there o_O Like, we left around 6.56ish and then came back just before 8 o_O The service was just so good though! And the orders came out really quick o_O
Stef had the yaki soba, and I had the karai lomen (?) or something like that, but it was GORGEOUS. Om nom nom. And we had the usual deep friend chilli squid and gyoza ^^
<3
Wow it’s such an amazing feeling to doll up after what seems a very long time… Hopefully my eye won’t be messed up tomorrow morning. Hopefully.
I decided to try out Agejo ’cause Stef bought me this beautiful Golds Infinity top for Xmas, and I just HAD to wear it (even though it’s too cold lololol). I also quite recently bought a wig, so it was perfect for this theme! ^^
I used this photo of Sakurina as a reference for the makeup:
And here are my photos! ^^
Jewerich no.2 are currently my fave lashes! *_*
Golds Infinity top, Reveal shorts,
Peacocks socks, Dorothy Perkins heels.
I also bought this hat that I’ve been looking EVERYWHERE for! ^^
My last part of my Xmas pressie from Stef arrived in the post yesterday! I was so happy to receive it ^3^ I was worried that I wouldn’t be in when it arrived, but as soon as I told Stef my worries I heard the door go!
So I just had to do something with them, and voila! My first set of nails decorated by myself ^^ The only problem was that they were too long for me, so I took them off a couple of hours later ;_;
I also forgot to blog about this before but I bought a beautiful Jesus Diamante top from Sui Princess around October! (I’m so sorry that I haven’t wrote about it before, Sui, I thought I had ;_; <3)
I really want to try out Hime one day, so buying the top was my first step towards it ^^ I still have yet to get all of the clothing and head gear… But at least I’ve got something! ^^ <3
I’m so happy with it, and it fits wonderfully! ^^ <3 She’s so sweet, she even included some earrings and beads as gifts! ^^
Anyways, I guess that that’s it for now! Sorry for all of the photos~ Tehe ^^
Righties, this is a continuation-whatsit from my last post! ^^
Yesh, it was the first time I went clubbing with my new friends from Uni~ And it was amazing! It really was a last minute decision ’cause my housemate wanted to go out 2 hours before we were going LOLOLOL. Oh dear. But aaah wells! I managed to try and do a simple-ish hairstyle~
Speaking of hairstyles, I’ve decided to bring back my weekly-gyaru-themes! ’cause I had so much fun with them and kinda miss them ;__; So let’s just say that this is the first week ne~?
I wanted to try this hairstyle again~
BUT I STILL FAILED EPICLY. AGAIN. ;__;
Might have to learn how to backcomb properly, ’cause I think that was one of the main reasons it failed >_> And also because I can’t do those flicks no matter how much advice I get D: I even tried searching on Youtube but I couldn’t find any ;__; Anyone got any videos on how to do this hairstyle? ^^
Make-up wise, the lovely and gorgeous Amelie showed me how to improve so that my lashes show! ^^ So I tried this for my makeup, although with my Diamond Lashes ’cause that was what I was wearing during the day >_<” Next time I’ll wear my new Jewerich ones so that I could show yoou guys ^3^
Warning: Shitty quality photos ahead.
And the flicks kinda died ;___; Sucks D:
DreamV top, Reveal shorts, homemade belt,
Primark OTK socks
But yeah. I think I’m definitely going to attempt that hairstyle again because I really want to make it work ;__; and I’ll try new makeup techniques for next week! ^^ Haven’t really thought of a specific day to do it but I’ll make sure I do it once a week ^^
That’s all for now~
Wow it’s been such a busy week getting ready for uni and shizz. There was the rushing around of getting supplies like towels and what not, and I haven’t really got my clothes packed yet… Whoops.
I can’t believe that I’m actually going to uni!
It’s scary because I’ll be so far away from home, but I’m pretty excited too. I’ll be finally on my own looking after myself (which I’ll probably do a really shit job of).
But yeah. This week was a really busy week arranging to meet people, so let’s start with last Wednesday~
I went over to Amelie‘s house for a sleepover! We wanted to have a meet before I moved house ^^ I got dolled up beforehand (which was utter chaos btw ’cause my mum dragged me to Morrisons an hour before I had to leave) and tried out doing loose curls, than headed off to her house~
Picture of us two in Forever21~
Then we got to her house and Eri met us there and we had a right ol’ girly time browsing host websites, watching Visual Kei music, eating this om nom nom dinner, and she did my hair! It was so so pretty *__* I didn’t want to take it down lololol – but it was like, half 12 at night. Here are some photos of my hair! ^^
Amelie starting to do my hair~
And the finished product! ^^
It’s amazing, isn’t it? It’s a shame that my camera on my phone didn’t pick up every detail ;__;
Then we headed off to bed ;D and watched this Japanese zombie film 😛 And the next morning we woke up at around half 12 o_O Wow… That’s the latest I’ve been in bed 😛 But anyways, I had lots and lots of fun with Amelie & Eri! I’ll miss them so so much when I go ;__; <33333333333333
And now for some more pictures of my hair & make before I went over to Amelie’s ~
Also, Amelie is hosting a sales blog! Please check out her items <3
She sells really cuuute clothes, and will also be selling some manga stuff soon too! ^^
Hey guys! How’re you all today?
Sorry that I haven’t really been dolling up recently… I generally felt shit lawls 😛 What happened was that for the past week I’ve been going to bed late but getting woken up extremely early (like, 8am) because of my sis going to school. Doesn’t really help that my immune system is crap as crap can be and on Friday I had to get up extremely early to enroll at uni at 9am (which was, btw, 3 hours from home >_<“). But yeah, I really aught to do more exercises and shizz :/
Buuut on Sunday I had an excuse to doll up; I was going out with le boyf on a date in what seems like forever. We went to this a lovely pub (pretty decently priced too! <3) I wanted to go for the Oraora gal look as it had been catching my eye lately ^^
Top from a random chinese shop, Reveal shorts, Brantano
heels.
I wanted to achieve this hairstyle here:
And it went quite well, although mine curled more at the ends >_<” Does anyone have any idea on how to achieve this look? ^^ I tried doing the ends and then backcombing, but it didn’t go so well ;__;
