Geisha Makeover Experience

Ms. A, a repeat customer who frequently appears on the website of the Maiko Experience Center GION AYA, has been transformed into a lovely maiko who will add color to the autumn!!!

Maiko experience place GION AYA no Sono (*´ω｀)

The customer we would like to introduce this time is ourwebsiteHe has appeared in many places in

And this is Ms. A, a repeat customer who also serves as a model for the leaflet.

Ms. A will be transformed into such an attractive maiko that she has fans among other customers of GION AYA (*ﾉωﾉ)♡♡♡

She visited us for the first time in about a year, and once again showed us her truly beautiful maiko costume, so we would like to introduce her to everyone (^^)/

A-san's mother loves kimonos, so she always checks out websites and helps A-san choose a kimono for her.

I also give advice on outfits, but A-san's mother has great taste, so I do A-san's makeup and dressing to match her image (*´ω｀)

What I was wondering about this time was "Pine Navy" The kimono had a large pine pattern all over it, giving it a gorgeous yet mature look, so I was able to give Ms. A the most mature and sharp impression of all her makeup looks to date.



The key is the angle and color of the eyebrows, and also the eye makeup (^_-)-☆

To make the eyebrows look sharper this time, I drew the lines a little stronger, at a higher angle, made them longer, and made them reddish in color. Maikos wear white makeup, so the final look will change depending on the strength, angle, and length of the lines, as well as the overall color of the eyebrows.

The eyebrows are reddish in color, but they are also designed to have a hint of brown.

Previously introduced14-year-old A-chan putting on makeupI used some rouge to make it look more reddish, so can you tell the difference in color? The rouge makes it look more lustrous and sexy (*´ω｀) (If you're wondering why she's so sexy at 14, then I'd like to introduce A-chan.BlogPlease see... m(__)m)

I also chose a wig with a larger width in the temples to give the impression of an older maiko.

The shape and size of the sideburns can be adjusted by hand to a certain extent to suit the customer's face shape, so we set them to fit Ms. A's slender face shape (*^-^*)

When dressing the kimono, I looked at the choice of obi and hairpin along with the kimono, and decided that a neat obiage tied in a traditional knot would be a better match, so I dressed her in a mature style like this!! (By the way, A-san chose the "white circle" obi and the "dragonfly" hairpin!)



Ms. A has a more mature and glamorous image than ever before!!!

After this, photographer Nagano took A's photo for the first time (^^)/

Mr. A's facial expression was perfect, and Nagano carefully considered the background and poses to take many wonderful photos (#^^#)

What I especially like is,

This photo was taken in the small garden.



A shot of Usu never seen before♡



When photographing maiko, I often imagine flowers and autumn leaves, and the fluffy texture of the Usu is really cute, but the Usu's colors are subdued, so it was a perfect fit for A-san's atmosphere this time (*ﾉωﾉ)

Mr. A and his family always make time in their busy schedules to come to our store,

Next time, I hope I can take more photos of the snowy season and the beautiful cherry blossom season... That's what I'm thinking (*´ω｀) I'm looking forward to it ♪♪

At the end, we took a photo together as usual.

Once customers have experienced outdoor photography like this, they will want to change their outfits, makeup, and the image of the photo shoot depending on the season.

Since I started this job, I have become more aware of the seasonal changes and seasonal flowers in Kyoto (^^♪

From now on, the autumn leaves will be in full bloom, so if you are looking for a plan that includes outdoor photography, I recommend a plan with more outdoor photos like Mr. A's, as you will be able to capture a wider variety of photos (*^^)v

And we've already got a lot of reservations, so be quick...
