What would it look like if I tried to wear the traditional Japanese makeup worn by maiko? Would it really suit me?If you think so, we have the contents you should definitely see.

 

Now, let's get to the main topic!!

 

First, let's start by asking, "What is shironuri?" and "What is it like?"

Shironuri is a foundation made from a combination of beard oil and water-based paste powder.

Hair oil is made from a vegetable oil called "Moukuro," and is a highly moisturizing, versatile oil that can also be used as a makeup base and when styling your hair!

Kneaded white powder is the raw material for water-soluble foundation, which is made from kneaded white powder that is also used in foundations, and the shironuri face worn by maiko is simply white powder dissolved in water.

 

Now, here is Gion-sai's particularity.

The white powder used varies slightly depending on the manufacturer.The texture is different.!

Therefore, at GION AYA, we offer the kind of experience that only professional maiko can provide.In order to achieve a transparent and glossy white finish, we mixed white finishes from multiple manufacturers.♪

And we use not only white face powder but also pink face powder to create a soft white look.

 

Now that the base is ready...

 

I will be applying makeup to the facial features,

GION AYA StaffWe carefully consider how to apply the color, the balance of the eyebrow shape, how to apply eyeliner, the shape of the lipstick, and the overall balance of each part to suit the customer's facial features.

I'm going to finish it off ♪♪

 

↑ The left one is cute and the right one is pretty (one example)

That balance is achieved by creating makeup that matches the image of the maiko that the customer wants to become (for example, cute, pretty, sexy, cool, etc.) (*^▽^*)

 

Each staff member has their own way of achieving balance (this is where their sense comes into play), so it's difficult to give a general explanation, but

This timeMe (school)We will explain how to balance the

 

First off, cute makeup ♡

Eyebrows: Short, plump, rounded eyebrows

Around the eyes: Add vertical width and apply eyeliner or amulets to make your eyes look round and crisp.

Lipstick: Small and rounded

This is a very rough explanation, but depending on the customer's facial features and the balance of the placement of each facial feature, there are times when the mouth is drawn plump, and there are times when the eyes are not drawn droopy but rather sharp, which makes the face look younger.Our makeup staff will create the perfect balance for you each time.with accommodation.I'll finish it ♡

 

Next is beautiful makeup♡

Eyebrows: Sharp, long, and well-defined eyebrows

Around the eyes: Apply eyeliner or amulets to widen the eyes and make them look longer and narrower.

Lipstick: Plump and voluminous

I also use eye tape, which I introduced in my previous blog, to shape my eyes and apply makeup, so I can get closer to the eyes I want to have.
