Geisha Makeover Experience

Yukiko's blog Takazawa blog photo shoot ~Mayumi's geisha make-up style~

Hello everyone. How are you doing? Hello ヽ(^o^)丿 It's Takazawa here again! ! I look forward to working with you m(__)m

Today I would like to ask you about the things I paid particular attention to when doing Geisha makeup.

Today's model is photographer Mayumi Takuma.

Hello!! I'm Yukiko.

This blog is about Mayumi geisha's makeup.

Today's model is "Mayumi photographer".

Tereennn♪

"ta-dah"!!

The final result of Takuma's makeup is a soft and elegant image.

Even professional geisha wear all-wigs.

First of all, did you know that there are two types of water-soluble white paint: "Kneaded White Powder" and "Kneaded Pink Powder"?

This time I focused on "Kneaded Pink Powder". I usually add a pink powder called "Tonoko" to it, but I tried putting in a lot more than ever before and applying it white. The effect is that it blends in with makeup that uses a lot of red!!

However, it is difficult to finish evenly without any unevenness (+o+) "White paint has depth"

Geisha wear full wigs and their hair. Ornaments are much more simple.

Water foundation has white and pink.

This time focus on pink. Pink water foundation added more poeder pink(TONOKO).

 Even if you use a lot of red it becomes soft when the whole face is pink.

It is difficult to evenly makeup the pink foundation.

Takuma-san has a straight nose and strong eyes, so I wanted to create a soft and gentle look with crimson, and I used almost only crimson for his eyebrows. I also drew his eyebrows farther apart, rather than drawing them close to the center.

If you paint your whole face red and pink, the black eyeliner will blend in with the overall red color for a subtle look ♪ Actually, I wear it quite heavily though...

Mayumi's face is big eyes and high nose. I wanted to make Mayumi soft and elegant.

When you draw a wide space between your eyebrows and eyebrows, it will be a gentle appearance.

Even if I draw a black eyeliner, doesn't it look gentle?

Let me tell you a little bit about how to wear kimono (*^_^*)

Although she is usually a kind and friendly geisha, I have prepared her to be strict if something does not go according to plan, so the most important thing to pay attention to is how she ties the obi.

Position the overlap in the center at the bottom and bring the left and right armpits up. This will create an acute angle at the overlap in the center. I think this will create a slender, vertical look and a chic feel.

In addition, if you make the collar wider, your shoulders will look narrower and more slender.

Focus on the [[ Obi ]]. (Obi is kimono's belt)

Lower the obi downward. Show a lot of white collars. Then it looks like delicate and thin.

Finally, I had it taken from the front so that the makeup would be easier to see. What did you think? I wasn't able to explain everything in detail, but I hope it gave you an idea of ​​what a geisha does.

Final is the front!! How was today's blog?

This makeup is an elegant geisha makeup that Yukiko thinks.
