Eyemake Shapes
I'm putting this page up for a reference guide for gyaru who want to change up their makeup style in an easy way, or to new members of the gyaru scene who want to know what types of eye makeup there is and how it looks on double eyelids. The problem I find is that a lot of people directly copy the steps from Japanese tutorials - and while we want our makeup to look as close to it as possible, often the steps are for a completely different eye shape - usually an almond eye with monolids. Of course, eyetape and glue is often used to get a double-eyelid but if you happen to be either European or from the Americas etc, our eyes usually open a little wider. So for looks like Manba/Banba etc, you may need to make adjustments in order for the makeup to sit nicely.
Here I will go through each standard makeup type for gyaru with it's term and what it looks like on both East Asian and Caucasian eyes (If any lovely WoC would like to submit pictures showing examples of these too, please drop me a message!)
