Ulzzang and Gyaru Looks

Last post I said that I`m so into in Ulzzang and Gyaru looks, but I prefer the ulzzang looks because its more simple and suitable for everyday (like go to school or hang out). Let`s find out what Ulzzang is.....

Eoljjang (Korean: 얼짱), also spelled as ulzzang or uljjang, is a popular South Korean term literally meaning "best face" or "good-looking". Originally used as a slang term, this word in the English lexicon has evolved into describing a person that follows specific style of fashion. A person desiring eoljjang status would gain popularity on the internet through entering contests where their photos are judged and chosen by voters, though many became well-known eoljjangs from having popular Cyworld accounts or have gained popularity in school for being attractive.
Many eoljjangs model for popular Korean fashion websites, and some have entered the Korean entertainment business and have since risen to stardom.
Although the word originated in South Korea, followers of such trends could be seen in China and Japan, but can also be found in Taiwan, the United States, Canada, Indonesia and Europe.
Here some pictures of famous ulzzang



For Gyaru looks, I like Hime Gyaru looks. It makes you really look like a dolly. These gyaru are the definition of high class. Himegyaru, meaning Princess Gals, wear the most expensive clothing, feature the most luxurious accessories and hairstyles, and are at all times immaculate. Hair is teased up on top and curled tightly in spirals on the bottom. Hair color is always caramel, black, or dark brown. Super-girly high heels, and completely feminine clothing are the uniform. Pearl and cameo inlays and beadwork on nails is also a big trend. As I said I prefer Ulzzang than Gyaru =D But I still like both of them ^^
