Prepping your skin is an essential to protect your skin.

Use a mask!

     It helps the makeup stay on better

Use a nose enhancing device for about 15 minutes before applying  makeup

 TIP~  

Gyarus have flawless skin.
     Primer protects your skin and helps makeup stay on.
     Foundation help even out your skin tone.
     Concealor conceals imperfections.
     Compact powder helps cover pores.
     Loose powder sets your makeup in place.

TIP ~ 

Circle lenses are an essential.
     Gyarus wear circle lenses to the change the colour of their eyes and enlarge them as well.

TIP ~ 

Use shiny colours on the upper eyelid and a matte darker colour on the lower eye part.
     Lighter and brighter parts tend to stand out more; gives dimension.
     The dark colour acts as a shadow; gives dimension.

TIP ~ 

Different types of eyeliner are made for different usage for different areas

     Pencil - on the eyelid and waterline (I didn't have a pencil eyeliner so I used a gel one).

     Liquid - on the eyelid; it's more defined than pencil eyeliners.

     Gel - on the eyelid and waterline.

Use all 3 liners together

     Go with pencil eyeliner, then gel eyeliner and lastly liquid eyeliner.

     Your eyeliner will last longer this way.

Wing the eyeliner downwards

     Creates the kawaii droopy eye.

Line the inner corners

     A small line will do just fine.

     It helps make your eyes long or wider depending on how you apply it.

TIP ~ 

Volumizing mascara
     For a gyaru eyelook, focus on the volume.

TIP~ 

Extend the lashes

     Apply the lashes longer than your natural eyes to make them look larger.

Flare-out lashes

     Use lashes with ends that flare out.

Lower lashs
     Add lower lashes to balance out the eye makeup.

TIP ~ 

Creating a new crease

     Creating a new crease which suits the look is a plus.

TIP~ 

Really blush!

     Add a sweet light pink blush to the cheeks.

     Apply it from the apples of your cheeks to the sides of your eyes.

     You may use a darker toned blusher, focusing on the apples of your cheeks.

     Orange is also another popular blush colour among Gyarus.

Baby lips

     Make sure your lips aren't cracked if you're using milky colours.

     Apply a darker toned lipstick to the inner part of your lips to add more dimension.

     Focus the lipgloss at the center of your lips.

TIP~ 

Highlight

     Bring your your futures and make them stand out more.

     The lighter the shade, the more it will stand out.

Contour

     Hides or deepens your features cause it acts as a shadow

     The darker the shade, the more it will deepen.
