Hello everyone, I'm Kawamoto, the makeup and dressing specialist.(*^^)
Autumn is well underway, the leaves are starting to fall and winter is finally here!
At the Minamiza Theater in Kyoto, a signboard inviting the audience to come out at the end of the year show is hung.
Every year, when I see the beckoning sign at Minamiza, I feel that the end of the year is coming and that winter is coming.(* ^ _ ^ *)
Kyoto really has a lot of charm.
Today I would like to introduce the makeup and kimono worn by Ms. K, who I was in charge of recently!!
When Mr. K first came to our store, he had a rather boyish look.
She didn't wear much makeup.
When I met her, I thought to myself, "This person will definitely look good with makeup on! She'll definitely be beautiful!"
The client wanted a clean and sharp look. However,!!!
Plus, I thought it would be nice if K-san could discover a different side of himself, apart from his usual self.
I wanted to bring out the feminine side of maiko.
The eyeliner is drawn along the person's eyes so as not to look unnatural, and the eyebrows are darkly colored.
I added a little more pink around the eyes! I tried to make the makeup as neither too dark nor too light as possible.♪
The kimono was green with a white obi, making for a very beautiful maiko.(^^ ♪
She likes green accessories and chose a green kimono as well.(●´▽`●)

Because you have a naturally beautiful nature,
This brought out the best in her and made her a cool and beautiful maiko, completely different from her usual look.★´∀`)//"" clap clap
The family came to the store, and the grandmother in particular was the one who was looking forward to it the most.
When I met her after the preparations were finished, she was so pleased that I was allowed to take charge of her.☆☆☆
