Am I allowed to be Gyaru as a Christian?

Back to General Discussion

This is specifically a question for Gals or other Christians for insight. I love the look of Gyaru makeup, and i think I understand a good chunk of what Gyaru is about and agree with it. However, id like to know if since im a Christian and do dress more modestly (not like a nun but yknow), if id be allowed to become a Gyaru? Ive never worn a lot of makeup so I think itd take some time getting used to it, but I was just wondering if it would be acceptable in the Gal community. 

Open to advice and information!

I would say that you can always experiment with makeup! Our God created us to be creative and explorative. But I would continue to do research as to WHY it's something that has its own subculture. Observe your intentions with exploring the makeup/culture. I would say, more than anything, that if you try it and feel convicted- that's okay! But I wouldn't focus so much on "if it's allowed" but rather "does this glorify God in any capacity, or does it glorify something else?" Ya'know? Not everything foreign is a sin!! But just be sensitive to whether certain things draw you away from God. If this particular style or culture doesn't, I don't see why you shouldn't explore. And if it does, there are so many other fun and creative ways to express yourself through makeup and clothes (that don't have to be boring and frumpy)

Im baptist and there is nothing in the new testament that says you can't dress like that. Plus being Christian means to be Christ-like, being kind and helping others, not judging or having prejudice, forgiving others even when they wronged you. Jesus had nothing against race, or sex. just live life being the kindest human being you can be with Jesus in your heart and you will have everlasting life in heaven.

You absolutely can be both gyaru and Christian! The style actually has a bit of empowering history behind it! Many gals dressed in it when it first developed to challenge traditional Japanese beauty standards and gender roles for women. They were tired of being expected to look and act in one certain way. Women wear the style for themselves, not to seduce men.


Gyaru also has many substyles within it! Hime gyaru, for example, is my favorite and definitely one of the more modest of them!
