Ganguro Makeup Look

Hello gorgeous ladies!

Have you ever heard of the word Ganguro? When I first learned about it, I think of the Japanese word, Gyaru.  (Gyaru meaning: Japanese girly-glam style.)

Ganguro is actually an unconventional fashion hype in Japan wherein girls sport blonde or orange hair, dark skin, exaggerated makeup, and stickers on the face. It started when Japanese girls decided to contradict the common image of Japan beauty which is fair skin, dark hair, and neutral makeup. It became extremely popular in the 1990's but later died down in 2000.

I decided to have my own take of the unorthodox Japanese trend. It's a little toned down compared to the ganguro girls above. And I didn't have a blonde wig so I just put on a hair accessory.

(Nope! I'm not naked. I'm wearing a tube top.)

I found the Ganguro makeup look to be fun and unique. But I don't see myself wearing it again. Prolly because it doesn't fit me. I find it cute in some jap girls though. :)

Thanks for reading! I'll see you in my next post.
