I'm finally updating my blog. Here an entry I have been wanting to write already for ages!
I for my part have always been curious to see what all the gyaru models look like without make up. Just because I feel uneasy myself when being without make up, so it kind of makes me feel better when I see that they look quit normal as well when being all natural. Besides of that I think that many of the gyaru do look a lot diffrent without make up than with it! Sometimes I think that I wouldn't be able to recognise them. Talking about that, in one egg there was a comic panel just about that topic:

First the guys are talking about how cute is girlfriend is and all and after love hotel, when she took a shower, he didn't even recognise her! He's just like: "uh uh.. dare?" "uh uh.. who are you?"
I had to laugh when I saw that, because it's just how I sometimes feel when talking about that topic.
But now back to the models. I'm sure you all are curious what pictures I'm going to show you.
So here some pictures I found in magazines, blogs, etc:
How about we start with Aina Tanaka? I think you all know what she's looking like with her make-up and hair all perfectly done. But anyway, left side a picture of her the way we know her and right side, no make-up! (the one in the middle)

here two more pictures:
She looks pretty diffrent doesn't she? I'm not saying she looks bad without make-up, I'm just saying that she looks diffrent. Really diffrent I think.
So that you all have seen now Aina, how about going on with Yumachi?
Here she is, left usual, right without make-up
Here one from her blog, but I believe that she has used concealer on her face on that picture. Just no eye make-up

Now that we have seen 2 egg models, how about seeing some models from Ranzuki too? One of the most popular models has been Nicole / Nikoru already for a while. That's why I'm going to start with her.
Left one of her most beautiful covershots and right side without make-up taken from her blog.
For the next candidate I'm not sure if she is still modeling for ranzuki (haven't taken a look in it for ages now), but anyway, here's Yuminyan left with make-up and right side without make-up.
For the those of you who like reading popteen 2 no-make-up-pictures of Jun Komori! I found two pictures of her on her blog. Left with make-up and right side without.
Then there is one model I still do like a lot. Remi! I think many of you know Remi from egg.
Once again, left side with make-up and right side without.
What I think that you can see really good on her pictures are the birthmarks you can't see when she's wearing make-up. It's the same with Romihi! I don't know if they just use really strong concealer or if it is just photoshop-work that has been done for the magazines. Either way, they're gone!
For the end here 2 pictures of a newer model from egg. It's Keehaako! The Manbamodel from egg!
Left again with make-up and right without.
For those of you who might now be wondering if she's ill, she's not! That's what gyaru often do if they are leaving the house without make-up and don't want to be seen this way. Often they even wear biiiig sunglasses. I have seen a few like that myself the time being in Japan. It's really strange, but an easy way if you really don't feel like puting any make-up on! Woooosh! Mask! and everything's fine! 笑笑
So how about you dear readers? Do you leave your house without make-up? Or do you feel rather embarassed? How about the models? Normal looking or just shooooock?























I hate leaving the house without makeup... I always feel like everyone is staring. >o<
ReplyDeleteRemi with no makeup is kinda shocking -- I never knew she had beauty marks!!!
Some of these models look even better without that much make up on them. That's my honest opinion about them. It's always a "little shock" to see the difference between non make up and make-up faced models but isn't it with every girl out there who uses that much make up?
ReplyDeleteI don't feel embarassed going out without make up... rather plain like a gray mouse. Clothes & make up make my personality complete. I can go outside without any make up on, I'm that confident with myself and I know i look good enough plain too... it's just the feeling/image of myself -plain.
interesting post gotta say. :D and it was kinda fun to see models without makeup on. That theyre quite ordinary really. altho at makeup academy i did notice that you can do really miracles with makeup~ so no wonder. there i also learnt to go out without makeup on. :) i think everyone should learn to like their face without makeup and notice that nobody really cares if you go out without makeup. i still love dolling myself just cause its fun. but im not doing it cause i _have to.
ReplyDeleteuuuhh..very great pics..OO they don't look ugly without makeup but VERY different and kinda ordinairy? XD Primarily their eyes are so strange withour fake lashes, they don't seem to have lashes at all XDD
ReplyDeletehowever..I have to admit, a few years ago I never wore much make up but nowadays I always wear makeup when going out^^ not when going to the next supermarket^^ but when I go out for longer I need make up, feel ugly and kinda naked without^^''
I often dont wear makeup..but before i became a mother i weared it all the time. I son't know what happened...
ReplyDeleteWell..i always head that i'm prettyer without makeup ^^ But im most comftorble at least wearing macara. Now i mostly put om makeup like i did before when i'm going somewhere. I just dont feel like waring it when i don't have to.
Makeup is wonderful, and i have natural long evelashes and big eyes so people dont notice at first when i dont weat any. ..LOL!
I feel exactly the same way you do! I just feel like if I was leaving without any pants on or stuff! : D
ReplyDeleteYes, guess it's normal that it is shocking!
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm kinda envious of you, because I can't.. Don't feel good without make-up..
Varmaankin munkin pitäis opetella meneen ulos ilman meikkeja D: It's just soooo hard! >.<
ReplyDeletehaha, jaaa sieht wirklich aus als hätten die keine.. ! und die Augen sind viel kleiner und asiatenmässiger : D
ReplyDeleteIt's good if you don't have to if you don't feel like it. It's the opposite with me :(
ReplyDeleteWow! that's so nice if it's that way!
wow!!
ReplyDeletebut nicoru w/o make up looks kinda like rei...
and jun kumori w/o make up actually look really cute~
Great post^^ I think it's fun to see the models without make up and know that they also are normal girls like us, I still think they look good though.
ReplyDeleteI'm always wearing make up when I'm leaving my house. I feel so naked and uncomfortable without it.
oh true! Now that u mention it! she truly does!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it really does make one feel better, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteKnow that uncomfortable feeling so well.. ..
Loved this post! It was very interesting :D
ReplyDeleteIm ok with leaving my house with out make up so long as Im not doing much
But other than that, I need to have it on XD hehe
That was really interesting~ Thanks for sharing!! ^_^
ReplyDeleteI always like to see models without make-up. It makes you feel like they aren't much different to anyone else :D
ReplyDeletePersonally I love putting on make-up but don't really need it to go out of my house :)
Woaw! They all look so different! It's crazy!
ReplyDeleteI never put so much make-up that people can't recognize me, but I prefer to have make-up on when going places. I use make-up to enhance the look of my favorite features on myself, especially eyes. I find my eyes look very attractive with eye liner and mascara, I try to make it the focus in my face because I think my eyes are my best feature of all. My boyfriend always tells me he loves my eyes a lot, and my ex's have said many times in the past, that it's one of their favorite thing in my physical appearance :3
make-up or no make-up: they're all beautiful

Haha models without makeup always make me feel more confident, you can see they really look like normal women. I think its most shocking for guys to find girls without makeup if they had drawn on their eyebrows.
ReplyDeleteIn Japan I can't leave the house without makeup, so I use the sunglasses technique. In Minnesota USA no women wear makeup so I don't feel strange without it.
I leave the house without makeup sometimes. If I'm just doing groceries or if I'm exercising or something then it's natural. I like seeing the models without make up. I like seeing them go outside without make up even more! LOL! It shows all the other gyaru out there that even they are not perfect and when the makeup comes off, they look like everybody else ^_^.
ReplyDeleteThis post is great! :D
ReplyDeleteI dislike leaving the house without make-up, when I was living in Japan I always did eye-make-up und wore a mask.
Me and my friends were always talking about this topic, that Japanese girls look different when they're without make-up.
But I never saw pics of the models.
I've seen some of these pics before so i think i'm used to seeing them without makeup,but before i was shocked.Good shocked thou,i think their cute without make up but you just get so used to seeing them in magazines all made up.
ReplyDeleteI don't feel embarrassed about going out without makeup,I've done it a lot and I'm pretty happy to go with out.However I prefer wearing make up,I feel more complete.:)
I even have to be wearing make-up when just going to a supermarket argh D:
ReplyDeleteWish I could at least then leave without x__X
Happy to hear that you liked the entry!
ReplyDeleteyes! That's exactly how I feel about the models! Just happy to see that! :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Sounds really adorable! It's really good if there's something you like about yourself and you can enhanc it even more! So nice! ♥
ReplyDeleteYes! Eveybody's beautiful in some way, right? : )
ReplyDeleteYeaaah! The eyebrow-thing can be reaaaally scary! I even think myself that it does look kinda strange if somebody has no eyebrows without makeup O_O
ReplyDeleteOutside is even better, that's true! Aina is such a good example for that. Just love it that she does leave the house without make-up! ♥
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm happy to hear that you like it♥
ReplyDeleteHave been talking with my friends a lot about it too! Sometimes it really is a little bit shocking to see them without make-up :/
That's true. I've somehow gotten used to seeing them that way too. But still it might be shocking just sometimes :D
ReplyDeleteI think I really have to work on myself so I can leave the house without make-up :/
Circle and lashes make all the difference! Sometimes I do leave home w/o make up...It´s not a big deal as I live in a coast city and it´s rather normal to see girls bare faced all around hehe! But I can help and feel as something is missing >W<
ReplyDeleteSomething missing.. yeah! I always compare it to going out without wearing any pants or something haha : D
ReplyDeleteyou know I used to get by just fine without any make up and then.. i discovered make up xDD whoaa nicole looks so different, I guess its always something with the eyes! gosh they intensify their eyes real good! so its kinda strange to see them with their natural azn eyes!
ReplyDeletei feel incomplete with no makeup on. lol
ReplyDeletei don't wear too much though, but it's considered a lot for a 15 year old. i only wear concealer on my eyes and a little on my nose, if i get occasional pimples. i wear a little eye makeup and blush. i could go without it but i choose not to. why choose the plain, boring face, when i can have a pretty one in 10 minutes, makes sense. i only go to the department store without makeup (i usually go in the morning, and my skin looks pretty good).
when i have no makeup on i feel kinda naked, even if i don't wear much usually
yeah, they're eyes! THey make them look so non-asian like, so it's strange to see that they ARE asian ne? hahaha :D
ReplyDeleteI was the same with 15 and I don't think it's much. And as long as you feel good with it, why not? :)
ReplyDeleteI feel like the EGG models look better without than with makeup.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe I just don't like their style of eyemakeup in the dolled up ones you posted.
I can leave the house without makeup, but only because I don't have the time XD
to be honest, when I saw an egg magazine for the first time, I didn't like the make-up either :D
ReplyDeleteohne mak eup sehen die meisten asiaten eben einfach gleich aus XD
ReplyDeletejo ich find erst dann sehn die überhaupt richtig aus wie asiaten haha : D
ReplyDeleteすごい
ReplyDeleteA great post! and so interesting! =) they are so pretty without makeup !
ReplyDeleteThank you for liking my entry! ♥
ReplyDeleteThat's why every girl must wear makeup! XD
ReplyDeletedon't must.. but it usually looks nicer haha : D
ReplyDeleteYeah but I think we should still minimize wearing makeup and be more confident with our faces. Who knows we might end up looking old in our 30s. Yikes. :D
ReplyDeleteYeah, we should. But it's sooo difficult (;D; )
ReplyDeletehahaha yeah I'm scared of that too :D
Nice post! Really nice post!
ReplyDeleteIn those times which are ruled by idealization I think it's important to remind each other that we're just human! We won't wake up with perfectly done hair and make up. we get pimpels, may have dark circles around the eyes and will look tired from time to time. So I think it's nice to see people without make up which are adored for looking good. It just shows that everyone can be a beatuty, if you're using the right tools.
Let's take Yuminyan e.g., (I don't wanna be rude or something, just my opinion!) don't think she's a natural beauty - small eyes, (compared to the eyes) big nose but with make up she looks fabulous! And she dosen't give a damn about geting photographed for a magazine without any make up!
I myself hate leaving the house without a proper make up too, I even get dressed up when I'am up to get some breakfast stuff, because I think I'll be looked at when I'am leaving the house without make up but hey, you know, by time i realized, NOBODY CARES when I'am not wearing any make up! You know, if you take a look around you the other people don't give a damn, because most of the time they're too busy the think the same, like, they're not good looking or anything and keep their head down.
I just say, keep your head hight, you wanna see the world, do you?
So in the end, a good make up is always nice but don't get your life ruled by it! It may take some time to recognise it but in the end, we're just driving us round the bend!
Girl, what you are saying is so true! Thank you for your great comment, I really appreciate it! It's true that in real life no one cares if you're without make-up. It's just the problem that you have mostly the feeling, that everybody's staring at you, just because you feel unconfortable yourself. At least that's what it is for me. Anyway, I went out last Sunday for the first time in a long time without any make-up at all, 'cause I went to the "beach", incredible feeling. I'm kind of proud of myself ahaha :D
ReplyDeleteso Thanks again for your great comment! ♥
