| I feel like this is a perfect combi of gyaru & ulzzang, with the innocent makeup yet vibrant hair color. |
*Disclaimer: Just wanted to let you guys know that the
comparisons of these two styles are just for fun and my personal opinion. Let
me just state that I mean no harm towards either styles as I do love both styles
as I frequently change my makeup and fashion depending on my mood.
Today I’ll simply compare the makeup, fashion, photo styles
and the future. So lets begin!
Makeup
Ulzzang: The ulzzang style tends to be more natural and
innocent where the main focus is their eye makeup. They also use circle lenses
and false lashes that are more natural as they like to emphasize their eyes and
leave their lips with a softer dolly appearance.
Gyaru: Their style in makeup can be wildly different
depending on the different style. They like to use different coloured circle
lenses besides the usual browns and black lenses. They also use more elaborate
and obvious false lashes and bottom lashes are often used quite often to make
the eyes look more round and dolly.
Fashion
Ulzzang: They tend to wear more versatile clothing’s which
are simple and easy to mix and match on a daily basis. I love the use of loose
sweaters or tops as it gives a more casual and comfortable feel. They tend to
use more neutrals and softer pastel shades of clothing and the occasional use
of dark clothing’s too. This applies to both male and female ulzzangs.
Gyaru: Their trend is ever changing as trends come and go,
but popular brands such as W♥C, EMODA, Liz Lisa, MA*RS are worn by many
well-known bloggers. I feel that their fashion style tends to be more playful
and over the top at times which I find quite fun to wear at photo shoots or
events.
Photo style
Ulzzang: I find that the current pictures of ulzzang tend to
be mini photo shoot styles where they go around looking for pretty sets to take
photos with the use of a good camera. I myself am always on the lookout for
amazing sets to take photos at with friends for my blog and for fun too. They
also enjoy taking full body shots.
Gyaru: Back in the days they would use their cell phone
camera’s which had pretty high megapixels (as have a Japanese cell phone
myself) and it’s super easy to take selfies/luvo’s. I liked how they
spontaneously take photos of themselves pulling faces, despite having a bad
hair day or with runny makeup on their blogs and they are a huge fan of taking
close up photos of their faces or mirrored pictures.
Future
Ulzzang: I believe that the ulzzang style will continue the
similar trends as they have now such as the pale flawless skin, simple eye
makeup and ombre dolly lips, but I am curious as to how far the ulzzang style
will evolve in the future.
Gyaru: Some believe that the gyaru style has started to
disappear but this is not true as they have evolved to being less extreme with
their makeup and style. Regardless, they style continues to stand out even if
the more popular trends seems to be the ulzzang style due to the up rise of the
Kpop world.
