I have sad news today (◕︵◕) remember how last week I was saying i was so excited to wear makeup again every day? I ended up triggering my dry eye somehow. This happens like once a year and I've never figured out what the problem ingredients are because it's not like a hives allergy type thing, so I can't get allergy tested for it. Anyways, I read up and chatted with my doctor about it and I'm pretty sure the issue is fragrance and talc, and also wearing lashes and lining my waterline especially on a daily basis. I've known the past two for a while, i just recklessly kept doing it anyway bc i like how it looks o(╥﹏╥)o
But now I'm feeling upset bc I feel like i can't do gal looks anymore. I know I could just wear plain makeup but I don't feel like myself like that. I've been trying to look for old school looks today but I feel like they all have you lining the waterline/inside eye line or are for tan gals, which i'm not. I know it doesn't matter what people think but ... idk o(╥﹏╥)o I feel like I would be an imposter doing old school gal makeup and not doing it "correctly".
I really dont wanna give up on gyaru, i just don't know how to make makeup looks I like that are comfortable for me to wear. I want to do gyaru only on the weekends or something, because when I don't like my makeup I just don't feel like myself.
I know i've sorta been on and off gal for the past year, but now that my mental health is much better I feel connected to gyaru again. It has always just felt like a part of myself and I don't want to lose it.
I found a couple inspo photos but idk if it will even be "gal enough" or whatever. I just found these through the scans i had saved in my google drive and on google search so I don't know who owns them. Someone shared a google drive of gal mags with a chat i was in years ago.
I really love orange and pink eyeshadow
Sorry for the kinda depressing post :(
Please share ideas or scans with me if you have any, I would super appreciate more inspo. I have 2 ego system mags on the way so i'm hoping maybe i'll find something there too!!
