Today we're back with another installment, this time for Twitter.
Leave us your favorite gals in the comments and we might post them in future versions of Gal Watch!
Here are some gals we've been loving on Twitter as of late:
Miyu Rockbridge (@miyurockbridge)
To start off our list, we have someone you could call a gal mag connoisseur: Miyu Rockbridge! Not only does Miyu post magazine scans from our favorite eras (a little old school Ranzuki, anyone?), she also posts gorgeous pictures of herself along with videos of her doing parapara. Her visuals could be a Pokemon move with the way they leave us stunned! Not only that, she RTs other gals so much, her account is practically a Gal Twitter Directory (a gal haven, if you will). For anyone looking to fill their feed with gyaru content, Miyu is a must follow.
Chopa (@CHOPA_39)
Pocha (@pochaboom)
Akei (@Okay_Akei)
Akei is our favorite residential cowgal because her style has so much to love: Signature cowgirl hat, short denim skirts, lots of belts?! It’s a gal’s wardrobe dream! We not only love her style, but also her upbeat energy and her videos where she plays the shamisen. (And the fact that she collects Yugioh cards; maybe that will be our next boom as well 🤔)
Harupoyo (@9696poyo)
Former Black Diamond member turned burlesque dancer, Harupoyo is one of the most gorgeous gals we’ve ever seen. We’re obsessed with her eye make and all of the cute dance outfits she posts. If you’re more of a fan of simple hair & make or fun OTT outfits, her looks are great inspo.
Tai (@taiichuu)
Not only is Tai the prettiest of pretty boys, he’s also the most relatable. We’re pretty sure we all know that AV gals have the best make game in the industry and Tai does not disappoint! We absolutely adore his make and style, as well as his commentary on anything and everything (the scene to gyaru pipeline is real and we plan on talking about it someday). You come for the thirst traps and stay for the memes!
Kohi (@IcedKohiGal)
Gyarusa Pacifica member Kohi posts more incredible gyaru looks than we can keep up with. Her style is mostly focused on tsuyome and old school vibes, with lots of animal print and beachy looks that make us wish it was summer already!! If you aren’t in love with the co*des she puts together, you’ll definitely fall in love with her hair and make. You’ll also appreciate all the other gals and galspo she RTs onto your timeline.
Zharo (@manbarrican)
We were obsessed with Zharo’s look before they modeled for our Galloween Special and that hasn’t changed one bit since! The creativity in their makeup can’t be overstated: From redefining what an eye gap looks like to reshaping what highlight and contour looks like in manba, we are always amazed at the looks Zharo puts out. (We enjoy seeing their art updates, too!)
Ramu (@DeepLoveRamu)
Ramu is Luxury Delivery Health worker (a type of call girl in Japan) who posts a lot of cute lingerie pics and cute looks in general. Her simple makeup and athleisure style is very of the modern Reiwa ane gyaru look and we love that she contrasts it with cute frilly lingerie. (We also love her pet chinchilla that she posts videos of!) Whether you’re looking for inspo to feel sexy in the bedroom or inspo for simple daily gal make, Ramu is a great gal to follow.
Miyabi (@Miyabi_Amuro)
If you were a fan of Gal VIP back in the day, we wouldn’t be surprised if Miyabi was an inspiration for you becoming gal; she’s kind of a gyaru legend that way. (We know we’re big fans of her ❤️️) While her account is an accumulation of style inspo, various interests, and personal posts, she still posts stunning gyaru looks from time to time, alongside other cute looks. It’s important to keep up with gyaru icons, so be sure to check her out!
Sei (@sei_bby)
Anyone looking to change up their makeup just needs to take a scroll through Sei’s media posts (you’ll have to sift through some meme replies that might not make sense at the time, but trust us, it’s worth it). The small details in eye make can create a huge difference and Sei showcases this through her catalogue of many beautiful looks! We also appreciate the memes she RTs; humor and beauty, what’s not to love?
Imani (@ipukekawaii)
Tattoo artist and magical girl Imani mixes gyaru with other types of J-Fashion styles that you don’t normally see in gal. We’re sure you’ve noticed the similarities in lolita and hime gyaru, but Imani has created a bridge between gyaru and fairy kei that we are obsessed with. On top of her adorable and creative looks, she also posts a lot of positive and uplifting messages. Anyone needing a serotonin boost needs to be following Imani!
Daisy (@renren_0514)
You are doing yourself a big disservice if you haven’t been following the Gal Cafe 10sion members; all of them are gorgeous and have great gyaru style all their own. A great place to start is the cafe’s account (@galcafe10sion), but at the moment one of our favorite gals is Daisy! Both her eye make and her eyebrows are perfect (aren’t eyeliner droops the best?) and we’re big fans of her cute and cozy style. It’s no wonder she was recognized as the number one gal there, she’s the best!
Gyaru Archives:
Gyaru of the Day (@GyaruOfTheDay)
When you join gyaru Twitter, you automatically become one of Gyaru of the Day's followers. Not really, but you should! Even though Mira focuses on fictional gals on this account, she RTs a lot of IRL gals and posts a lot of helpful information on gyaru. Galspo and gal info: The best of both worlds!
hourly gyaru (@hourlygyaru)
You can find every type of gal picture on hourly gyaru: Magazine scans, gaijin gal pics, selfies we thought we had lost when egg models started purging their old blog posts/accounts. Whatever style of gyaru you're into, you can certainly find galspo pics here!
Oh My Gal (@ohmigal)
If you're still trying to figure out the names of models you've seen a million pics of, Oh My Gal is a great place to start! Not only do they post pictures of models and mag scans (even ours sometimes 👀), they include the names of the models and magazines they post. It's like the Twitter version of gyaru flashcards.

Hello everyone! Kitt here!
Hope you are enjoying your Valentine's Day, whether it is being spent snuggled up close with your significant other, making it a day to show your friends and loved ones that you truly love and cherish them, or even taking that bit of extra time that you may not normally take to give yourself that extra bit of self-love and pampering that you deserve after all the hard work of leaving 2021 behind us!
I wanted to create this soft pink inspired Galentine's look for you all, that is super sweet and sexy! The main features of this eye look, is using a bit of shimmer in all the right places, to really highlight your eyes and give your Gal makeup a super flirty and romantic feel! Create a look that's just a little bit sweet, and a little bit MORE.... SEXY!! Use glitter liner to create shiny tears that glisten in the highlights of your eyes, and sparkle in the romantic candle light like shiny sapphires in the dark.
🦋 Galentine's Makeup Tutorial
Save the spread for later viewing or scroll down for a step by step guide! Don't forget to take a look at last years Galentine's Lookbook for more inspo!
🦋 Galentine's Makeup Tutorial Step by Step!
Step 1
Apply your favorite full coverage foundation. I used Tarte's Amazonian Clay Foundation. It's great for oily or combination skin like mine. It looks super smooth over all of my pores and fine lines as well.
Step 2
Use a lighter shade of concealer to highlight around your eye area. I used the Huda Beauty Overachiever concealer in the lightest shade Whipped Cream. Blend in your concealer.
Step 3
Set your face with a translucent powder to keep your makeup from creasing. I set the concealer under my eyes, forehead wrinkles, the smile lines around my mouth, and any area of my face that I feel gets a bit greasy throughout the day like my chin and t-zone area.
Step 4
Add Bronzer to your cheeks. I have been loving this gorgeous Leopard Print Bronzer from W7 called Africa. This bronzer is very warm toned and has shimmer and pink swirls mixed in so it acts like a blush and bronzer 2-in-1 when you mix the colors together.
Step 5
I use a matte powder bronzer in a cooler toned “contour” shade to create a shadow on the areas of my face I want to “slim”. For example: along the sides of my nose, jaw-line, and sides of my forehead. This is the Chocolate Soleil Bronzer from Too Faced that I use through steps 5-8.
Step 6
I use bronzer to achieve my nose stripe, with a flat topped contour brush. This one I used is from Unicorn Cosmetics.
Step 7
For doing very light “blonde” looking natural eyebrows, I blend my bronzer powder up into where I want to draw on brows. My eyebrows are naturally shaved.
Step 8
I use an eyeshadow brush to shade and emphasize my namida bukuro (tear bags) under my eyes. Later we are going to take a lighter shade to highlight the white part we left inside, so don't worry about being to precise right now.
Step 9
After my face has been set with powder, I wipe off any foundation or concealer that may have gotten on my lips, and will put on either a lip plumping gloss or lip oil to moisturise my lips so they don't look dry and flakey.
Step 10
I use the NYX Jumbo white Milk Pencil to draw a skinny stripe as the center of my nose highlight. You can set it with a matte white eyeshadow, or a shimmer if you prefer. But only tapping very lightly and don't rub, or this can rub off your foundation when you draw on using cream products over top of your powder. So proceed with caution!
Step 11
I use Ofra Highlighter in shade Pillow Talk which is a pretty soft pink shade. I highlight the tops of my cheek bones as well as underneath the outside half of my eyebrow. I don't put highlight under the front half of my brow. I use a very small eyeshadow blending crease brush to do this step.
Step 12
In the next steps 12-15 I use the Jaclyn Cosmetics Rouge Affair Blush Palette. I use it on my cheeks and as eyeshadow as well!
Step 13
I place the pink blush shade called Fantasy over top of the namida bukuro line I mapped out with my bronzer before. This was just a guideline.
Pro Tip: Using the same color whether it is bronzer or blush, you can blend matching bronzer or
blush in the crease of your eyeshadow to give your make-up an over-all cohesive look, to tie in
colors that work together. Another trick is if you're using a cream blush, you can also take it one
step further and use the cream blush on all 3 your eyes, lips, and cheeks! Makeup artists use this
technique a lot in make-up for photoshoots and runway shows.
Step 14
Lately I have been loving using a shimmer blush/dark peachy highlighter in the middle of my highlight and blush to take it a step further. Using this third mid-tone shade, really helps blend the two extreme colors together, and to create more of a seamless blend and gradient between the 2 colors that looks more natural. I use a fluffy bush brush to do this so it's not as precise and blends more.
Step 15
Starting from Darkest to lightest, I use a graduation of pinky/peach shades from my Jaclyn Cosmetics Rouge Affair Blush Palette. Starting with the darkest shade Forever in the crease, then using a medium pink shade Fantasy that I used as blush on my cheeks. Then at the top of my brow bone, I blend the lightest pink shade Admirer.
Step 16
I use P. Louise Pastel Baseic in shade Winter Rose on a super thin, flat concealer brush to carve out the cut-crease shape I want on my lid. I set it with a tiny bit of translucent powder to keep the liquid from creasing.
Step 17
I use one of my favorite Multichrome Glitter Pigment shades from Clionadh Cosmetics in the shade Kaleidoscope to set the front half of my lid where I cut the crease. And I leave the outside half of my wing shape a darker shade of pink.
Step 18
I have a new love, Nude Stix Magnetic Eyeshadow Pencils. They stay on and don't budge or crease, NO MATTER WHAT! I do one eye at a time then blend, because they dry super quick. I use the shimmery white shade Sugar Bab” from the Dark Romance Eye Pencil set. I highlight the inside of my namida bukuro with this shade, then blend it with my eyeshadow brush.
Step 19
I use mascara on my top eyelashes. And I only put mascara on the inside half of my bottom lashes. I stop the line at the edge of the black limbal ring of my circle contact lenses. As a guide I do not go past the outside edge of my contact lens line. This creates a natural eye enlarging effect.
Step 20
I use Rare Beauty Liquid Eyeliner because it is a super thick brush tip liner, and super black!
Step 21
I use Tarte Surfer retractable Curl Gel Eyeliner to line the inside half of my waterline, again stopping at the outside edge of my contact lens' limbal ring.
Step 22
I use KVD Liquid Tattoo Liner to do the bottom of my eye and my inner-corner because it is super thin and sharp. The thing I like about Tattoo Liner, is that it's not super black, so perfect for mapping out placement for where you want to place your bottom lashes without it being a super dark and opaque black. You can control the opacity by depending how many times you go over the line, to make it darker each time you retrace it.
Step 23
I wipe of my lip oil and use my beauty blender that still has a bit of my foundation left on it to go over my lips to create a nice solid base for my lipstick to go on top of. Then I use Fenty Beauty's Slip Shine Lipstick in shade Suga Kiss, which is a pretty baby pink shade perfect to complete this Valentine's look!
Step 24
I apply top lashes that I ordered in bulk from AliExpress. (Find link down below!)
Step 25
My bottom lashes are also from AliExpress. They are the Icy Cheer bottom lashes in style BE03. (Find link down below!)
Step 26
Lottie London's Heart Stamp eyeliner is such a fun tool to use for your Valentine's inspired look! It gives you the most perfect and precise heart stamp every time, you don't have to worry about all of the stress of drawing it even. The stamp makes it so easy! WHAT A GREAT HACK! And it even comes double ended so you can fill in any gaps in your heart or use the eyeliner pen side to draw your eyeliner!
Step 27
To add a super sexy and romantic twist to my Galentine's look, I love to use a liquid glitter liner on the inside of my namida bukuro tear bag, to give it such a pretty shimmy like tears in my eyes. For this look I used Urban Decay's Heavy Metal Glitter liner in shade Grind.
