Japanese Street Fashion - Ganguro

Japanese Street Fashion is something that has grown with time and with the influence of western culture.

Ganguro is just a sub-category of many themes. It tends to be orange or blonde hair teamed with tanned skin and bright dramatic make up. It is popular among young Japanese women, who have rebelled against their traditional style of pale skin, dark hair and complimentary skin tones.

I have some odd obsession with extremities its probably why I like Ke$ha so much!


White concealer is used as lipstick and as eyeshadow. They are great believers in fake everything and using plastic gems to stick on their face! The brighter the better and platforms are a must, along with stickers on your face, and as much jewelry as you can get on! These girls get a lot of bad press for their short or tight clothing. 

But just in case you were wondering how to achieve this look heres a lovely video courtesy of Youtube,




All in all pretty silly, however what I want to take from this is its fun to experiment with make up and I have a friend who pulls of these looks so well so maybe you'll hit the nail on the head. Plus its not easy to do make up that perfectly.
