I would argue that it's a pretty important part of the gyaru look and if you can get them affordably and safely, then they are necessary.

You have a good excuse not to wear them. If you can't find lenses that don't fit your eyes, then don't risk your eye health just to look cute. If people in the community can't understand that, then fuck 'em.

That being said, I've seen people pull off gyaru without lenses and look great. Pin doesn't wear contacts and his makeup was great whenever he did/does gyaru. There were a couple of others, my memory is failing.

Just make sure you are as on-point as possible with the rest. That's something all the gals who don't wear circle lenses have in common: they have the clothes, hair and makeup down pat. Possibly try to go a bit more over the top with your eye makeup to compensate for your lack of lenses? I'm not sure how that would look, but it's worth a shot.

If you have any more questions or want to make sure you're doing alright before posting to the community at large, I'm sure the other gals in this thread would be more than willing to help you. I would be.

Yeah, I remember her posting about that as well. A few people told her to hold off until the lenses for astigmatisms became available on the western market (I think they were just coming out in Asia at the time). Someone had suggested that she use eye-enhancing contacts until then.

Then she wanted to get circle lenses and layer them over her regular contacts. Which is just...no. Last time she posted about it on the now-defunct kogal panel, she seemed to think that the toric lenses cost too much and took too long to get to her.

I love gal style like this quite a lot (and from the looks I'm not the only one here). But is it just me or do the western gals who dress like this get ripped a new one? That one American gal who has 'glee' in her name comes to mind.
