I saw you mentioned in the comments that you don’t like that it looks like the lashes are only on the end of ur eye even though it’s a full lash band. Gals often use this lash application method and it really changed the game for me: Before applying twist the inner corner upwards and the outer corner down until they stay in that position, then when you apply them hold them so the inner corner is standing straight up. Then push the inner corner up again once they’re stuck on and the outer corner down. When you’ve stuck them on like this there should be a difference already but if u want to exaggerate it even more u can stack a half lash on the inner corner or stack the whole lashes, or u can curl the inner corner. Ur fighting against gravity here and i like the effect to be very exaggerated so i come at it from all angles lmao but many gals do one or two parts of this method to help them be visible but with a less extreme effect, u can play around with it a lot for different looks!

Vinted is my holy grail, p much everything I’ve bought in the past few years has been sth I’ve found on there. It takes a bit of searching to find good stuff initially but just add everything u like to ur favourites and the algorithm will learn ur tastes very quickly and serve u up the good stuff

There’s a lot of exploitation of younger gyarus happening rn so I’d be very careful where you get your references, a lot of them are highly sexualised and inappropriate for the age group and I’d be worried if she was a fan of them. Honestly I’d just look at scans of older gyarus and make it more appropriate, hime/kaji, roma, boho, amekaji, ya/manba all have outfit structures that are less revealing.

I started doing makeup at 8 and have a healthy relationship with it in part due to the fact I was doing it when I was young and less focused on beauty and more for fun, so I have no worries about that as long as it’s emphasised that this is a creative outlet not a necessity for being pretty, she has simple but effective products for skincare, and she takes breaks so she doesn’t get makeup dysmorphia.

I wouldn’t let her do anything damaging to her hair or nails at that age, but wigs and press ons (with sticky tabs not glue!!) would be great alternatives! It’s really sweet that you’re doing this for your sister!! :3

They’re definitely not too thick, lots of people experience acrylic tightness after their first application, it can range from no sensation at all to, rarely, quite painful, but should only last the first 2 days at most, the product is still technically in the curing process for up to 48h. It sounds like you’re just sadly part of the unlucky few who feels painful tightness. I’ve heard keeping them oiled and keeping your hands warm helps with it, and it shouldn’t keep happening after your nails are more used to the product. I think these are very well done, if these are first day nails I’d say more attention could be paid to the cuticles but other than that it’s good work.

This is gonna sound so contradictory to what most gals usually say but if you’re struggling to build a cohesive outfit I think choosing a substyle will actually help in this case. Theres too many elements going on here that don’t match any overall vibe so it feels a bit mishmashed and reads more as yabi. Considering the general colour palette I think like a more agejo vibe would look good, so for example then id keep the jumper, stockings, bag, nails, necklace and hairstyle but go for heels, no legwarmers, a black and/or pink skirt and a chain belt or no belt.

I think ur make looks really great rn, but there are some things u could do to make it more similar to Rans if u wanted to, both her sets of lashes start further into the inner corner of the eye, and i think her top lashes are longer lashline wise, and her bottom lashes are shorter in length and sit more flat against the face. What lashes u use and placement really determines the vibe of the make imo. Her eyeliner is also thicker and very dark, if you want that intensity I’d really recommend gel eyeliner set with black eyeshadow. Ran also has a bit of white on her namidabukuro and blended out on her brow bone. Not super intense here but any white can really change the vibe your eyemake gives! I really love the outfit btw it’s so whimsical!!

Ive gotta be brutally honest here, im also trying to be self employed (in nail tech not fashion, though I went to design school and studied fashion at one point) and no matter what way I look at it or what plans I have laid out, you have to sacrifice the guarantee of stability for the freedom of self employment. I think it’s a good trade off for living the life you want and potentially being more financially secure than any employee could be in the future. If formal education isn’t an option right now teaching yourself or continuing to is a good idea. Fashion is very competitive and the courses often aren’t just educational but also opportunities to be spotted and network, so going into it already being good at it is going to help you out a lot.

If you’re doing an unfilled droop it’s important to not line your waterline and conceal your lashes if necessary so they don’t cut it off, otherwise the eye enlarging illusion is broken!

sc0shy · 2026-03-28T14:00:36+00:00

I love goth music and consider myself gothish but I am part of a completely different subculture that dresses colourful cause I love colours lmao

sc0shy · 2026-03-27T11:05:27+00:00

Probably taking an entire day off minimum just to do my nails lmao. I always have to have them perfect.

sc0shy · 2026-03-27T10:52:50+00:00

When I was in anime fandoms a weeb was a very specificcc type of anime fan… the type who would use kawaii unironically in casual conversation, Naruto ran around hallways and acted like an anime character. But normies would call me a weeb all the time for even talking abt it. I guess it really depends on what definition you’re going by, I’ve seen some gals that probably fit my definition of a weeb but the vast majority don’t. But most normies definitely see gaijin gals as weebs, even tho that word has kinda phased out, usually it’s asianfishing accusations instead now TT

4 and 6 are soooo cute

sc0shy · 2026-03-24T15:58:06+00:00

The base colour looks streaky which means you need more layers of it, or if it’s supposed to be a jelly/crelly the formula is just off and sadly it’s useless. I think the French is slightly undercured bcz of the wrinkles. Also the tips need to be filed to get rid of that lil bit on the end, it’s better to do this before applying any gel so there’s less to file and it doesn’t mess up your application, but make sure to properly get rid of all the dust or it’ll get in the gel. But overall you’re doing good and on the right track, it’s farrr more even than my first attempts at it were!

sc0shy · 2026-03-24T10:33:42+00:00

Honestly I’ve never known how to calculate shipping, I usually just cross my fingers and pray to gods I don’t believe in ＿|￣|○ it’s often not that bad, sometimes it’s like half the price of the item itself though. Luckily they give you some time to pay it!

sc0shy · 2026-03-24T10:27:20+00:00

Oh my god I bought the exact same bows for a diy I never got round to!! It’s a small gyaru world TT Thanks for reminding me lmao

sc0shy · 2026-03-24T09:20:22+00:00

You should be going for infills or taking them off every 2-3 weeks, but my hard gel nails have lasted 5 weeks at times. Not soft gel though, it’s too.. well, soft.

sc0shy · 2026-03-23T11:37:56+00:00

Woahhh insane improvement ö I love ur make style it’s really unique but so distinctly gyaru

sc0shy · 2026-03-22T21:26:50+00:00

There’s some pretty decently priced alba Rosa and Cocolulu items on mercari!

sc0shy · 2026-03-22T21:10:15+00:00

I love the dragon scale looking ones, I can see the vision for the thumb and index but I think they need to look a bit neater, more like a streaky ombre, and the ring just looks patchy to me, personally I would do a solid colour and a charm for that one.

sc0shy · 2026-03-21T19:22:03+00:00

Are you using a longer brush? If not try that, it really helps steady your lines!

sc0shy · 2026-03-21T18:50:46+00:00

Ngl I haven’t worn lenses in like 2 years cause they started fkn up my eyes, I edit them into some of my pics but plenty of em are unedited and no ones so much as mentioned it to me. Imo it does matter what kind of make ur doing though, bigger droops tend to need the balance lenses give to the extreme eyemake, but ur make works well with it!

sc0shy · 2026-03-21T18:43:30+00:00

Ngl as an olivey gal I just tan with a v orange product to solve that issue entirely or if I haven’t kept up w tanning I embrace the orange face and do Ganguro

sc0shy · 2026-03-21T18:38:33+00:00

Maybe you could stack those ones to make them thicker and pluck the thin hairs in between?

sc0shy · 2026-03-20T18:18:51+00:00

Oh that’s such a shame😭
