✩27 Gal Eye Shapes✩

 

Today I thought we could talk about eye shapes.

Makeup, especially eye makeup, is super important to Gyaru. How you do your eyes basically completes the style you're trying to accomplish. You can generally tell what substyle it is by the clothing but it's the eyes that make it.

I mostly dress old school so these are the styles I will talk about. Let's look at some of the popular styles and list the key points that make the looks complete. 

Agejo

Notes: Top and bottom lashes with thick eyeliner; Under eye highlight; Dolly-style circle lens

Amekaji

Notes: Top and bottom lashes; Eyeliner on top, shadow on bottom; Circle lens optional; Colorful; Casual

Ganguro

Notes: Both old school and new - Black ink used as eyeliner and white concealer as eyeshadow. 
Old school - Optional lashes; Gems and stickers deco; Optional eye droop.
Newer - Top and bottom lashes; Super exaggerated eye droop.

Hime

Notes: Top and bottom lashes; Thick eyeliner on top with option to go lighter on bottom; Dolly-style circle lens; Sweet

Himekaji

Notes: Similar to Hime only more casual and sweeter; More natural with less eyeliner and more soft shadows

Kogal

I think the photos I chose for each did a great job of representing each one and how they do their makeup. Maybe in the future I can look for actual tutorials for some of these.
