Study on what gyaru is. It's important to know what you're getting into and it's best to be really familliar with the looks that come with this particular style, rather than just copying one picture that might not be most fit for your body type or the shape of your face.

Pick up Magazines! This cannot be stressed enough. If you aren't able to pick some up or download them. Some good gyaru niche magazine is Pop Sister, Pop Teen, Ranzuki, Egg, Ageha and Blenda. Go to universal-doll.com for the latest scoop on the current fashions.

Go shopping! Purchase the acquired items for this style, in most cases, shorts, OTK's and heels are a great start. Even more important is the makeup, no 1 item that needs to be in your make bag would be the black eyeliner.

Get into makeup. Some people say this is the most important thing about being gyaru. Don't be afraid of using too much liner or eyeshadow, you're most likely to use too little. There are numerous makeup tutorials available online, in magazines and there's many you'll find on youtube, which is a great start before you can style it to your own face.

Study on hair-dos In most styles, gyaru hair is glamorous, big and puffy, often curled, it takes a bit more work than most people's everyday hairstyle. It's a good thing to show off that you put a lot of effort in your hair. Sometimes it might look wild but in many cases each strand was carefully arranged that way.

Get wild and be sexy! Gyaru enjoy having a lot of fun, hang out with your friends and party, don't be afraid of taking your look out to the streets! And even more important BE CONFIDENT. Gyaru style is gonna be sour if you're not pleased with how your body looks, or are scared to stand out a little. You're most probably a healthy young woman and you've got nothing to worry about, you'll regret all your insecurity when the first wrinkles start to show.
