At 6:50 of episode 25 of _Great Teacher Onizuka_ , we see three girls bitching

I have not seen even a glimpse of these three girls, until episode 25. The
part which intrigues me is their appearance. I've not noticed anyone with such
a unique appearance in the series.

Has there been any characteristic explanation regarding it? Is it make up, or
something else?

very well known for its dark-tan makeup.

It is also a subculture of [_gyaru_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyaru)
(gal), and developed into further styles like _yamanba_ and _manba_ since the
2000s.
