Geisha Makeover Experience

I compared the maiko makeup done by the makeup staff at the maiko experience place GION AYA, and it turned into quite a packed blog. It's a bit long, but I'd be happy if you read it (^^♪

Hello everyone

I'm Takemitsu and I love alcohol.

On a personal note, my adorable child finally turned 10 years old recently, his half-coming-of-age ceremony.

It's only a matter of time before they grow up...

I was touched by this, but my child doesn't appear in this blog at all (lol)

 

This time, don't you wonder, "What kind of makeup do the Gion Aya makeup staff use?"

So, I'll show you a little glimpse of the maiko makeup done by the makeup staff.

Also, I asked all the staff, "What is the most important thing about makeup?" so I thought I might announce that too.

 

Well then, let's get started!

Who should I choose first???

Ok, let's choose this person.

Aya's rare character "Naomi Hirao"

Hirao-san is also a mother staff member, and she is always smiling and full of energy, she is a kind staff member.

So, here is Hirao's makeup.

She's sexy and beautiful. img style="margin-left: 3px; margin-right: 3px; vertical-align: middle;" src="https://kyoto-maiko.com/wp-content/plugins/typepad-emoji-for-tinymce/icons/09/shine.gif" width="16" height="16" />

Hirao-san always has lively conversations with customers and always looks like she is having a lot of fun while preparing. This person has a sexy vibe, but Hirao-san is also good at cute makeup.

Hirao-san's priority is to "do makeup that suits the person."

Because each and every person has a different face, I observe their face carefully from the first time I greet them and meet them, and I do my makeup without being limited to a certain type, thinking about how I can make each person look their most beautiful just for them.

So it's always such a beautiful balance.

 

Well, next

Mirai-chan, the owner of the most colorful smile"The Future of Konawa"Chandesu

She loves makeup, and apparently recently became an apprentice at the Make-up Otaku School. 2019 things to be aware of before experiencing being a maiko!!! 01/20/35200/XNUMX"> Mirai-chan announced it on her blog the other day (lol) Mirai-chan is a hard worker, eager to learn, and always has a super cute smile. She's lovely when you see her.
, everyone is excitedIt becomes like that.

Here is Mirai's makeup:

Look at this maiko who is as cute as a doll.

Her eyes are big and her mouth is plump and cute (*^_^*)

Mirai-chan's most important thing is "cuteness"

Anyway, it brings out the cuteness that is unique to maikos, the cuteness that each person has. So, in a word, they always value cuteness when putting on makeup and dressing the kimono.

See, the balance with the kimono is perfect, and overall, she looks like a cute and gorgeous maiko.

 

Who should I choose next???

So, I wonder if I should try to insert Takemika into the mix here.

So, let me introduce myself once again (lol). I think I am Mariko Takemika, the person who loves alcohol the most in Aya. (It's a bit difficult to read, but it's pronounced "Takemika").

By the way, I'm not at all calm, but I'm still a mother. I'm a Takemitsu, but I'm good at beautiful things.

What do you think? It looks cool and sharp.

I put so much effort into my makeup. The other staff members said that I was "full of Takemi's style" (laughs).

What Takemigawa values ​​is working with customers to create the image of what they want to achieve.

For first-time customers, there may be some who have no idea what to expect, but we work together with them to create the product, discussing various options so that they can easily consult with us.

The kimono was navy blue, and it was cool and refreshing. I felt like I had accomplished something.

 

Come on, let's get going!

Next up is Pen-chan, also known as Wakana Tsujishita.

Tsujishita-senpai is very caring and brightens up the atmosphere in an instant.

Takemi's image of Tsujishita Paisen is like a sunflower or the sun, bright and sparkling, warm and energetic.

But she's a cute, lovable senior who can be a little naive.

Here is the makeup done by Tsujishita senpai.

Personally, I like cute makeup on Paisen~ Her beard is plump, but not too big, and it's perfectly balanced and pretty and cute.

It's a red shape that Takemikame can't imitate...

What is important to such a senior is to "bring out the best in each person"

I make the most of each customer's face and bring out the best in them. I also want them to enjoy watching themselves transform into a maiko. I also want them to enjoy the process of applying makeup.

Certainly, everyone seems to be having a lot of fun.

She's just as cute as Mirai-chan, but the atmosphere and feel is completely different, right??? All the staff members have very strong personalities (lol)

There are still two more people with strong personalities left.

 

Next up is makeup geek Sono, also known as Yoshiko Sono.

Sono-san is a very funny and entertaining person, which doesn't seem to match her beautiful face.

Moreover, she checks the makeup of the members who come to work every day. It's amazing, isn't it? I get teased all the time, but she's a playful older sister who always compliments me.

Here is Sono's makeup, which is full of such attention to detail.

Sono's makeup always has a distinctive eyebrow design.

The shading of the eyebrows, the shape, the color... everything about it is perfectly balanced.

It's beautiful, but somehow it has a cute, ephemeral feel to it. The plump red shape is captivating.

What Sono-san values ​​most is... "transparency"

The sensuality that is unique to real maiko. But also a translucent transparency. Fine texture. To bring out that transparency, the white makeup is the most important thing.

Doesn't it look like he's a real professional?

 

Finally, the last person we have been waiting for is the teacher, Yukiko Takazawa.

I think red is a distinctive feature of Takasawa Sensei's makeup.

Cute makeup, elegant beauty, and sexy makeup are all amazing.

She does a lot of things, not just makeup, but also DIY for the store, making it a comfortable place for customers.

This is the teacher's makeup:

The use of red is amazing and beautiful.

By adding red lipstick to the corners of the eyes, you can create a sexy look without being too harsh.

The lips are plump and red, but they are also elegant and sexy.

What is important to Professor Takazawa?

It's a really difficult question to say what is the most important thing... If I had to choose, I'd say "Knowing the other person"

After all, if you don't understand and know a person, you can't bring out their good qualities, Takemika thought.

Although he doesn't usually talk much, he is a wonderful person who cares about his customers.

Don't you think the colors of the autumn leaves and the kimono all match up beautifully???

 

 

Each staff member has a strong personality, and although their makeup and personalities are a little strong, they are all wonderful people, and I love them.

This has turned into a pretty long blog, but I hope it has given you some insight into our staff.

I would like to try being a maiko. I hope this article will be helpful for those who are thinking about it.

If you would like to have a staff member do your makeup, please feel free to contact Aya.

Lastly, the manager's wife, Akiko Shima, valuesKimono"was

problem

Whose makeup is this???
