ulzzang? Gyaru? what is that?

Ulzzang is a popular south korean term, literally meaning: best face They are known for having really beautiful facial features. They are popular in the internet for their outstanding way of dressing up and popularizing makeup trends. here is some pictures of ulzzangs



 Gyaru- (definition taken from wikipedia) Gyaru (ギャル?) is a Japanese transliteration of the English word gal. The name originated from a 1920s brand of jeans called "gurls", with the advertising slogan: "I can't live without men", and was applied to fashion- and peer-conscious girls in their teens and early twenties. Its usage peaked in the 2000s and has gradually declined. The term gradually drifted to apply to an older group, whose seeming lack of interest in work or marriage gained the word a "childish" image. It is now used almost interchangeably with kogyaru 


ulzzangs and gyarus are pretty similar but... 
 what is the difference between Ulzzangs and gyarus? Basically, Ulzzangs love the more natural look as opposed to Gyarus who loves to wear more daring looks. The similarities between the two is that all of them try to achieve the doll-like look in their own way. I am really fascinated with both ulzzangs and gyarus. I would
 refer to them as my fashion icons. I find their fashion very beautiful and unique. I am planning to post some makeup/ beauty tips/ fashion relating to ulzzangs and gyarus... stay tuned and you better be looking forward to it ^.^
