SPOT THE DIFFERENCE!!

Okok, so let's get some things straight. What.. or who are Feizl's? Ulzzang?? Gyaru!?

OVERALL, all three focus a lot on the big eyes, small nose, thin lips. They are known as Net Idols(ulzzang and feizl). They are pretty/cute/sexy people(men or females) that are recognized and are pretty much famous due to their looks(once again, applies more to ulzzang and feizl). They have many similarities but there are slight differences in their looks and fashion sense.

They achieve the big eyes by use of makeup and of course, Circle Lens.

Well, what are they?

Definitions of Ulzzang:

"True definition is "best & "face" = best face in korean. They are basically people with above average looks, sometimes with the use of photoshop and haduri who post their pics online, some becoming internet celebrities."

"The eyes being the main focus and concept of the look. They usually use lots of products to make their eyes very large, such as eyelid glue, Korean cosmetic circle lenses, eyeliner, long fake eyelashes, etc. They also usually have fair skin, a small nose and thin small lips, just like anime characters. They use a lot of editing websites such as Photoshop and Haduri to edit their pictures to make them even more prettier.
Some people find Ulzzangs incredibly cute and attractive, while others find them fake looking and hideous. All in all, Ulzzang has grown into nothing more than a stereotyped look, which will always be judged and have opinions, for the good or the bad."

Taken from urban dictionary(although this dictionary isn't the most accurate, these pretty much do the job). I must disagree on the eyelid glue part now though. As many ulzzangs undergo surgery(that ranges from forehead/rhinoplasty/eyelid/jaw shaping(aka, shaving the jawline)/cheekbone etc. surgery) rather than having to use those products. They aim for a more natural look compared to gyarus and feizls. Ulzzangs before did not focus on lashes until quite recently though. They do not particularly aim to be like "anime characters" from what I understand. More like, dolls. Porcelain dolls.
And it is a Korean term.

Define Gyaru: Read from wiki to understand the actual background - LINK

Aside from the true meaning of gyaru, many associate it with a type of style. There are many types of gyaru, I will not go into details as that is WAY too much information.
**Click HERE for a more detailed list of gyarus.

Simply put, their looks are described as doll-like girls as well, but not the porcelain type dolls, more like... anime? CUTE BIG EYES. is what a lot of people might generally say, but once again, there are many types. Eyelid glue or surgery is common for many gyaru models/gals. Gyaru's don't depend much on skin tone, more on the makeup, hair and style. Males are called gyaruo btw ^^
A Japanese term.

Feizl.

Pretty much like gyaru and ulzzang. Except this is known more as Chinese Net Idols. They can be similar to either ulzzangs or gyarus I find.

So it does take a while to see the differences. And some just will never get it xD

I hope this would help anyone who questions the differences though. As time goes by, you can just automatically see the differences. Most of the differences are based solely on race though. But recently some looks just incorporate each others... looks.

SIMPLY PUT. THEY ARE GOOD LOOKING PEOPLE. ha

could've said that from the start =________=''

** Pictures are all just taken off google, some are older but I hope you guys get the point :P

Design&Color: ★★★★★

Very pretty! and very noticeable as well. I wouldn't say that they are the least bit natural but that's not the point of why people get the bambi greys. The center burst of the lenses help in minimizing the intensity of the grey color though. The dark limbal ring also further enlarges the appearance of the eyes, achieving that "big dolly eyes" look. There is a bluish tint to the grey color.

Enlargement: ★★★★★

HUGE I tell ya, HUGE.

These are 15.0mm and the largest I have gone is 14.5 and to me, that was already big. I love large lenses on others, maybe I am not used to it on myself but I must say, I don't mind it with these lenses. a TOTAL DOLLY type of lens.

Comfort: ★★★★★

When I wore these, I felt nothing. This surprised me as they are 15mm. But I wore them for about 6hrs without feeling a thing. And I usually have dry eyes when it comes to contact lenses, however, these lenses have a high water content which would explain the comfort.

Overall: ★★★★★

Final verdict of GEO Bambi Greys are that I LOVE THEM. Seriously, the rave about them is all true and I am happy that I got my hands on these. They are very pretty and vibrant yet not bug eyed.
