Fuck Yeah AV Gyaru

What is gyaru?

It has come to my attention, some people on don’t know what gyaru is. This definition should work. For the people just joining the community.

Gyaru fashion is a type of Japanese street fashion that originated in the 1970’s. Gyaru is most commonly referred to as ganguro, but ganguro is actually a subculture of gyaru. Ganguro was popular in the 1990’s - early 2000’s. Gyaru is a girly-glam style, breaking away from traditional standards of beauty, and dwelling on the man-made (wigs, fake eyelashes, fake nails, etc).  Gyaru fashion does not fit with traditional, and media portrayed ideals of Japanese women. It is often identified as a sign of rebellious in youth.

Gyaru fashion is typically characterized by dyed hair (which is often lightened to varying shades of brown or blonde), excessively decorated nails, and makeup. This makeup typically consists of dark eyeliner, and dramatic fake eyelashes; gyaru sometimes wear cosmetic circle lenses as well to enhance the size of their irises. Brands cater to this particular trend by producing fake eyelashes, circle lenses, and other cosmetics.

Clothing wise, gyaru can vary depending on personal style.
