On this intro- I chose to feature the more wearable casual/sweet styles suitable for my age and where I live.
The basic components of this super kawaii look are=
-a curly, braided/styled hair that looks cute and girly(hair accessories and bangs are a plus!), straight hair can also work provided that it is pin straight with bangs/layers/highlights.
-circle lenses ( to achieve that dolly big-eye look)
-liquid eyeliner and false eyelashes pref with lower eyelashes (for the false eyelashes I normally prefer Japanese brands since they are made with a longer width and are styled differently which is more suited for Gyaru makeup but you can also use local brands ;) )
- accessories and a fashionable/cute outfit
- fussy nail art/deco nails
To give you a better sense of what it looks like here are some pics of my fave models sporting the look! enjoy! (ps. click on the pics for the larger version) I am not really an expert on this type of fashion myself since I still need to learn alot, I just want to share what I know of so far.
