Totally agree. The Gyaru bible, egg is also not very 'gyaru' anymore. They're more casual and move into more street style, IMO. Nice post btw :D

Jadi rada mirip ke korea korea an ya ce hehe apalg yg foto pling bawah itu, aku kira makeup korea xD

ada bedanya di pemilihan softlens, pemakaian bulu mata palsu, dan tipe cutting-an rambut sih. tapi korea dan jepang stylenya pasti saling menginfluence satu sama lain, dan juga ada pengaruh dari western style juga untuk fashionnya. sama aja sih =D

thanks susan =D

but i rather choose the old gyaru,more kawaii and dolly :)

but i'd rather choose the old gyaru,more kawaii and dolly :)

I will miss the old style... it's so fun and obvious and effective. But I guess if you like the old style you can still use the old style too! I think it would be nice to see both existing together that way - everyone can be happy!! :D

mee too T_______T miss the old one, but the newest trend is also pretty! I read Ray magazine it they almost all look more into neo gal style with err.. straight eyebrow which is from korean makeup influence, they such a HIT now LOL!



Even Toru-san tell me newest gal makeup in Japan (I think it was neo gal makeup that he mention) use mascara for upper lashes too! OMG! XD

Ah nooooo. I really like the old style; that's why I wanted to learn about gyaru TT^TT The new style is pretty too, and it's easy to wear to school and such so that's nice, but I'll always like gyaru for the big hair, thick false lashes, heavy makeup and supernails!

I really miss the old style too ;^;
The Neo Gal makeup reminds me a lot of ulzzang makeup (but not as soft looking).

I hope that the old style will come back when spring and summer roll around again! ❤

It is more like Korean make up to me. especially the tear bag thang.
don't judge me. just sayin' :p

I was just going to comment, it really reminds me of the Ulzzang style ^_^

whatever the style, japanese style always awesome :D

The neo style might work better on me considering my age :)

Bener, Stella GAK PERNAH JUALAN SEKALI PUN. Dia cuma mau dititipin makeup waktu dia ke Jepang itu juga jatuhnya masih murah. Ya udahlah mas Heru, mending tobat jangan jualan make up palsu daripada FITNAH kaya gini. Percuma mas Heru jatuhin Stella, dia udah jadi blogger terkenal sampe ke Jepang. Go Stella, biarin aja makin kamu tinggi akan makin banyak yang sirik sama kamu ^^

Yeah I also thought bout that at first!!
but people keep saying that it's getting big because of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu tearbag =D apparently, Tomomi from akb48 also supports that look..

i like both tho haha

yes i find some similarities too =D

iya mirip =D cuman agak lebih shimmer2 sih menurutku, klo korea lebih soft :3

iya trend make up sih pasti ngaruh ke banyak pihak hehe, klo di barat no make up make up kan :3

try!! :D

:D I think so!

yes i always like that gyaru too :D But the current make up trend is easier to follow haha.. So it depends on how much the time i have XD

yesss.. if you see a lot of magazines, they've become so natural and toned down than before lol almost every magazines are like that


Back then I wore like 3 stacks of lashes and heavy bottom lashes, now good bye O.O

right now natural dolly is more popular, like tsubasa's style :D

yesss i will still try that old style sometimes too :D cos make up is all about havin fun

ah I would say this one looks more natural and less is beautiful right? ;) gonna miss gyaru style too! thankyou for sharing this stella... pls write more about japan trends, it feels like reading a japanese magazine.. ^^

got it!! ^.^ you make me feel motivated to do this kind of post more =D

I love the hair and i also love your blog.

Kisses and hugs from the netherlands

Hai, this is the first time I read your blog. Such a nice blog. Please keep up the good work, ganbatte!!

And about gyaru style, for me, I love to see the beautiful dolly look old gyaru (my fav gyaru model is Tsubasa Masuwaka), but for my own make up, I prefer the Neo Gal, since it's more natural, simpler and easy to wear, especially for the eye make up.

thank you, i hope you will visit again in the future ^.^


tsubasa's dolly make up is in fact lighter than other dolly make up, so it's still practicable

I think this style's a lot more easier to maintain. Though it does make you miss the old Gyaru style. Really reminds me of Ulzzang though =/

it's not that the old style is non-existent already haha ^.^

Ahhhhhhhh I miss gyaru too... Q.Q
I don't know how I should feel about the tear bag kinda style haha...and I really liked how Tsubasa's 2nd line of dolly wink help bring out this style more~
though it's nice they're going for a natural and mature look? :3

haha yeah >.< but I don't really see it much in Japan.. D:

It is more like korean makeup to me indeed! =)
I think they mixing the element of korean+Jpanese makeup and today everyone go for natural look I see...=D

yessss.. im surprised to spot them less and less every time i visit japan D:
youre living in japan? :D

the power of k-wave? lol

haha yess.. im so sad that i wont see the crazy look very often more, but on another side, i feel happy i dont really have to work on my appearance 3-4 hours to get it done ToT


once in a while is good.. so.. maybe for special photoshoot haha

Well I guess so..=)

err about this eyebag stuff yg mirip aegyo sal sebenernya jepang lebih dulu ngeluarin "eyebag kit" ini tapi di Indonesia belum booming sampai akhirnya etude house ngeluarin produknya baru deh nyebar cmiiw :)

oh really? aku enggak tau tentang itu, ada linknya? :D terima kasih infonyaaa

Yea right? I remember it used to take me forever and now it's up to an hour~!
Ahhh yes please! I would love a special photoshoot~ you would suit that style very well~!

Yup, for 8 months now but going back home in 2 months. D: Feeling sad about having to leave Japan T_T

Isn't it crazy how this decline of the recent gyaru style is just like ganguro's? I'm glad you pointed that out. I think there are some pros and cons to both the old and neo gal styles but people should dress however they want if they don't like the new gal style (which so many people are complaining about XD) I would take from both and wear it my way ^ ^ Nice post Stella!

the tear bag look like aegyo-sal from korea.
but still look kawaii :3
I'm very interesting with the nail art so much, japanese product it's one of best product with their nail product ^^

woaaaaah cara baru bikin aegyo sal!
ko jadi mirip koreaan ulzzang ulzzang gitu ya.. aku lebih suka gyaru yang dulu lebih ada ciri khas nya~

hahaha iya tapi klo ak sii lebih seneng digambar.. kalo di jepang aegyo sal namanya namida bukuro ^^

thats our complicated feeling XD

i wish they have real japanese nail art salon too in here T.T

i havent mentioned about the fashion, as this is more focused about the beauty thing hehe..
yes sure, just put the source XD

i think every style must have evolved following trend.. XD maybe this is how ganguro feels about gyaru who has white skin back then too? ganguro feels it's not how it should be cos every gal has to have tan skin lol


i feel if they dont feel this is gyaru enough for them and stick with the old style, go ahead. everyone should wear whatever they feel comfortable =D


but i just say, this is the current trend in japan among gal in shibuya..

hehe thank you, havent done it for a while =D

i wanna come back too T.T

Will definitely visit your blog again, cause' we have things in common, I also like Japan, Make up, and Fashion ^_^
Yep, Tsubasa's dolly make up is lighter since her concept is adult kawaii. Futhermore, IMO Tsubasa's and the neo gal make up is more 'acceptable' as everyday make up in Indonesia.
So I tried to make that look for my everyday make up, buuut since I'm not that talented, I always skip the fake lashes and lower eye part.. hehehe.. I envy your talent, lucky you.. =^.^=

Kalo aku lebih perhatiin fashionnya daripada makeupnya soalnya kurang suka make up (atau belum) hehehe. I do feel the style has changed because I used to read and love popteen, but I prefer lighter make up :3 anyway dulu suka banget sama kumiko funayama :D

haha fashionnya sii sekarang lebih balik ke 80-90's lagi dngan crop top dan big sweatshirt lagi ya.. :D

haha no, it's just i learned it, you can also do it if you learn

tear bag nya mirip2 ma aegyosal ya stel :O
btw gila itu kukunya.. =___=

I love both! But yeah, Gyaru lebih "berkarakter" rasanya.

.. that's embarassing .________.

yep, but well, missing the 'old' gyaru indeed. neo gal itu jadi lebih mirip onee gyaru versi 'fierce' nya ya IMO

May I ask who is the girl in the photos in the end of the post? : ) I really like her make up!


I like how the "eye bag"-make up looks like but I didn`t realize you can actually create one with eyelids tape... : D I always thought that the choices are make up or natural eye bag that you just make pop out more heh... Honestly tht tape-thingie scared me a little, so funny idea to put tape under eyes to create a bag. :') But why not... I just wonder how it feels like? ; o

Wow! Is that eyelid tape they used underneath for eye bags? I want to try this! Could you do a tutorial? :D thanks for the comparison <3

neo gal seru yah. ttep lucu tapi lebih wearable di indo. tp i'll be missing the old gyaru too :(

I think the new gals looks more like ulzzangs, korean models but with japanese clothes. I prefer old school style

Mau nambahin ah.. Kadang di toko-toko "straw----" atau "naug---" juga ada yang produk MAC dengan harga di bawah 50k... That's so obvious XD

Hi, i'm asian too from the Phils. I just dyed my hair black 2 weeks ago, can i dye it again to light brown without bleaching? What's the best brand that ill be using? Thanks

Honestly, none of this is gyaru. I just feel that this new trend and overall change in the Shibuya image is only called 'gal' because gyaru dominated for so long, with or without the initial support of brands... the Shibuya market is pushed by schoolgirls first and foremost-- it's them that ultimately determine what's cool or not, and designers and marketers take that into heavy consideration. And right now it's about practicality and ease, not the over the top sexy individualism that rocked that area for more than a decade.

The current 'graduating'/ phasing-out of current models seem to propel this idea that gyaru is dying, or shifting into something different when it's not. We have so many models that have dropped by the wayside or took the modest route when they got older, old school people like Ka-tan/Kanae and Rumiringo, etc. whose personal appearance years ago shifted to what is basically currently out and hot now. The models are not going to be gal forever. 'Neo Gal' is just a new catchphrase to shift the interests of those who they're trying to market to. (And honestly, the only thing I've really honestly seen truly coined and defined as 'Neo Gal' is the recent fashion collections/collab that were started by icons like Yuria and her associates.)

Gyaru is just really turning back into a cult fashion like it originated, very much like how I perceive other subcultures like Japanese "black/urban culture" to be. As someone who looks more at actual gyaru vs. just models in magazines, like the normal ones with regular casual blogs, or are active in gal circle activity, kyabakura lifestyle, etc., are still sporting the overall glamorous look very strong, though they may not be skipping across 109 everyday. I just generally disregard the phasing out some models are shifting towards because I'm personally not at that place yet (where I want to tone down). So I don't believe in a 'shift' or a 'change' in actual gal style...
gyaru will more or less stay the same until people just stop dressing
it altogether. Though I do heavily admire people like Sakurina, whose current style still looks pretty intense and gal considering the toning down from her 2010-2011 style, and Shizuka Muto who still speaks very passionately about being Gyaru and having her Rady brand reflect the 'Glamorous Agejo' image as long as possible.

Wow. Wall of text. goodjob, self

ahah, I miss the old gyaru, stel...

this is too natural... -_-

I think you can try ash blonde dye

Wait, this might sound crazy but don't they say that if you want to cancel out a colour, you need to use the opposite colour in the colour wheel, and the opposite colour of brass (orange) is purple right? So doesn't that mean you have to use a hair dye that has a purple tone? Just like the purple shampoo but maybe the shampoo isn't strong enough in your case

I JUSTTT retouched my roots using the "clear ash" one by schwartzkopf but in the normal formula, not the foam one. Got it at watsons for 70thou and it turned out goooorgeous! Almost exactly matched the ashy medium-dark brown I had on the rest of my hair. I wonder what made yours turn bluish grey though... I thought the "berry" tone wouldve cancelled the orangey tone in your hair... Did u ask a hairdresser and find out why?

Although it is more accessible, there's a specialness and uniqueness in dressing more gal. I don't want to have to miss gyaru. I mean I guess thats what happened to the manbas and banbas when sweet gyaru came out. But I like the big and noticeable eyes part of gyaru! I don't want it to mix with the Japanese trends untill it's unrecognisable :(. To me, the makeup was the only thing keeping the style together, since the clothes branched out so much. But I guess if you do only a specific subtype (sweet, agejo, rokku, ect.) it'll be "distinct."
But I hate it when people say that gyaru is dying, because if it's true or not, I don't want it to go.

Please oh please be right, Pinkie.

My friend had hair to her waist. She bleached it 2-3 times in one day and then when it was done, her ends literally cracked because her hair was so damaged. She had to cut her hair to shoulder length. I want to grow my hair out, but I also want to bleach it. Is there a specific bleach that I can use that won't damage my hair too much? I'm caucasian btw.

Could i use a Japanese bleach? I've been using Japanese dyes and I don't have a problem with them

kalo rambut hitam pengen dicat warna merah kaya rambutnya scarjo pas jadi black widow di avengers itu harus bleaching juga kah?

Hi I have mexican dark brown hair almost black. I want to achieve platinum blonde hair. What are the steps I must take first in order to achieve such difficult task. I know I must bleach but about how long and what developer? I dont want to fry my hair or damaging it without knowing what I am doing. I know the process will damage my hair either way during the whole process but I need to know for how long with out breaking my hair. I want to achieve a G-Dragon platinum blonde hair? Help please? :)

Sist stella ga pernah jualan mas. Mungkin anda ya yang jual produk palsu?

and now they sell fake Naked Eyeshadow Urban Decay also... Harganya cuma 60-70rb aja gitu.. hahaha... gosh those people...

Just as I thought! especially with the straight brow and the "effortless natural" style ;) Love it!

so if i dye my hair light blonde it'll be medium brown right? And if i dye the medium brown with the same color it'll get lighter? So i basically wont have to bleach.

I have brown hair, i dyed it red but only my bangs ... i want to dye my whole head black and my bangs red again but i dont want to bleach my whole head my bangs are already bleached so thats no problem. but i have medium brown hair and i want it black without bleach what do i do?

Hey c: i have dark black asian hair and i wanted to dye it a sort of medium- darkish red. (not very bright) but i dont know which colour and brand to go with.. any advice please...? :3

i had virgin black indian and chinese hair.
i dyed my hair burgundy in may 2013 made it process for 60mins, it came out bright burgundy.
then its turned orangeish, now its a redish oragneish goldish look ONLY IN THE SUN.
i wanna streak my hair burgundy or blonde, what do i do?

iya kemaren aku pulang dari kuliah tiba2 nyokap kasih lihat box mac besar, isinya 60eyeshadow sama 6 lip pallete dan harganya cuma 90.000 =___= gosh, the eyeshadows are really2 not pigmented and powdery. warnanya bener2 ngga keluar *padahal sampe dicolek pake jari* dan keras banget. aplicatornya juga looks really cheap dan gampang banget copot sponsnya kalo dipake.. arr.. nyokap ngga pernah beli2 make up sih sebelumnya jadi beliau ngga tau..=__=

Cc stella ga pernah jualan. Dia cuma bantu review secara jujur. Dan manusia itu mungkin bisa melakukan kesalahan dengan membeli produk dri seller pembohong karna tidak sengaja. Paling, anda hanya takut, dan mencari kambing hitam karna ANDA sendirilah si penjual produk palsu tidak bertanggung jawab.

saya baru balik dari kanada 2 bulan lalu dan lipbalm eos di kanada paling mahal saya liat cuma CAD$4 dikali 11000(kurs 2013 bandingkan dengan kurs awal 2013 yg cuma 9000an) dan ditambah tax 15% hanya 50600 rupiah. ga berniat membela, saya bahkan baru pertama kali ke blog ini, tapi saya ga tahan liat orang sok tau yg berniat menjatuhkan orang dengan fakta yg ga jelas.

produk etude ori bs langsung ke stand etude say di Gandaria city ada,di Kota kasablanka jg ada...keknya udah bnyk deh di mall2 ^__^

wah emang pasti ada penjual2 tengik macem gini, sabar ya dear stella, aku juga ngulas2 tentang krim putih kuning abal diblogku aja dikomenin penjual rendahan macem gini, mereka ga sadar aja yg mereka jual itu bisa membunuh pelan2, bikin keguguran calon bayi & tiroid.
saran saya buat penjual2 macem gini, INGET TUH DUIT BUAT KASI MAKAN TUBUH KOTOR BANGET! PUNYA TUHAN GA? DIRI SENDIRI KOTOR GIMANA KASI MAKAN ANAK ISTRI ORTU PAKE DUIT KOTOR? GA TAKUT TUHAN MURKA? TOBAT DEH KALO MASI PUNYA TUHAN!
sori jd marah2 sis.. -_-

What about coastal scent?

kalau EOS lip balm yang sekarang lagi booming apa ada palsunya juga? di Indo jual sekitar 90ribu. sebetulnya barang nya di luar negeri sendiri harganya murah banget.. Tapi maybe aja ada seller yang sengaja pasang tarif tinggi biar kelihatan asli dan barang yang diposting di web mereka itu diambil dari internet, bukan real object nya

Sorry ralat yah.. KAMI dari outlet NAUGHTY Accessories tidak pernah menjual kosmetik, KOSMETIK!!! kami hanya menjual aksesoris seperti necklace, rings or hair support accessories.

sis nama fb nya apa? beli di gerai mana

jual online nya apa aja klo bsamnta CP nya ya thx

aku sih pernah coba beli yang replika nya, dan emang seller nya uda nulisin kalo emg barangnya replika.
aku sih beli soalnya kepo aja gitu..
hahaha..

i think "neo gal" looks just like everyone else these days. everyone in the world who is 'trendy' looks and dresses like that. lol "gyaru" was more distinctive and original

warna abu-abunya bagus, tapi kok ga masuk di salah satu pilihan warnanya ya ?

lol stel. kupikir kamu cat biru loh... >.<

i tought it's wig for the first time i saw it on your facebook page >w<. but its turn out so COOL~ <3. i really love it <3

Yeah, I know the grey looks kinda cool but this is not what I looked for LOL
and the color is uneven because the foam is drying so it stucks on hair and cannot be spread easily

hahaha thank you ^_^

it's normal, every hair dye is like that :)

soooo dryyy :"(

iya klo dalem lighting tertentu jadi biru LOL

aku juga pake fresh light ini cuma karna warna rambutnku brown sebelumnya jadinya light brown hasilnya, tapi aku suka :DD

http://imaginarymi.blogspot.com/

Although it didn't turn out like expected. I freaking love the grey color!! You pull it off well.

waaa! walau ga sesuai expectation kok malah jadi lebih keren hasilnya. ada tinge of blue itu looh haha. makes u look so kakkoiiii ;A;


jadi tergoda kak, di mana tuh diskon 50%? :o

I'm not so agree with you, a lot of time I used Palty, and the color always staying on me until I make an other 3 - 4 months after, and since my hair are caramel, I wanted to make some ash color, and here they faded. The first time they fade. I was so sad, so I made a really dark brown, and this time it hold!
However, I think your color is weird as this don't look the same as the box lol. I eard very bad comment from this hair dye so I never trying it.
Thanks for the review!

aku juga pernah ce pake ini, emang dry banget huhu T__T tp kalo yg caramel brown warnanya lumayan kl di aku ><

hehehe but i think the results is great too!!!! i thought you're doing the ombre hair on purpose

bagus stel warnanya ! unik :D

tetepp cakeepppp (>____<)''

mirip si cominica ya warnanyaa.. hahaha

korean makeup kayaknya ngaruh ya >.< trus makeup trend sekarang emang minimalis gak cuma di asia aja :) Nice post btw <3
