Ganguro stands for "Black face". I'm sure that most of you have heard of it before since its not new.
According to Wikipedia .....
It's is an alternative fashion trend of blond or orange hair and tanned skin among young Japanese women. Yamanba and manba are the extreme versions of the Ganguro fashion. They feature darker tans and add white lipstick, pastel eye makeup, tiny metallic or glittery adhesives below the eyes, brightly-colored contact lenses, plastic dayglo-colored clothing, and incongruous accessories to the ganguro look.
Look at the girl on the right looking at her xD I totally love Japan, but you need to have a lot of courage to put your make up as a Ganguro girl. Japan has so many great styles, but unfortunately I don't think this is one of them. I would rather dress Lolita style actually =D. I really think that the ganguro style is outrageous. However I do respect them cuz they dare to look like this. I don't mind the skin color, but what I don't like is the make up >.<
BBC (Even Western people have this style o.o)
I liked their natural faces more. How can you feel more confident when you have that bunch of make up on o_O? Would YOU have the courage to do this? Or have you ever done this before?
I totally would pee in my pants if this group would chase after me o_o"!
En wanneer zie ik jouw in ganguro stylo =P
ReplyDeleteNEVER =P, lelijk joh xD dan voel ik me gelijk als een clown hahaha
ReplyDeleteHahaha I remember when I first saw pictures of Ganguro girls I was actually kind of frightened! >.< I would never be brave enough to try this. Plus you'd go through makeup in like 2 days! hehe

ReplyDeleteI've got those masks before I came to UK, bt I ran out of them one time, bt it was lucky of me gettin a friend to buy another box from hkg before her trip to UK to c me.. however, yes, u can order them from a British website... as well as from the sasa.com website, bt the shipping from sasa.com is quite expensive tho
