A talk about skin beautification.　

Maiko Experience Center GION AYA's all-mighty staff

This blog is "Skin BeautificationThe theme is "About

At GION AYA, the number of photos included in the plan isSkin BeautificationWe will then hand it over to you.

 

Maiko and Geisha experiences are attended by customers of all ages, so it is especially popular among customers of my generation (40s) and older.Skin BeautificationI really hope that this will happen.

Skin BeautificationThis is generally done by the staff who filmed it, so the way it's done varies depending on the staff.

That's because each person has their own criteria for what they think would be more beautiful.

 

The same can be said about makeup and dressing, but even if the same makeup tools and kimonos are used, each staff member has their own idea of ​​what makes them "beautiful."

It's not going to be exactly the same.

 

This time, we did the makeup, dressing and photo shoot.Skin BeautificationThe kindergarten will do everything.Skin BeautificationI'm conscious of these things.

 

Today's cameras have higher resolution, so if you take a close-up shot, you can even see the texture of your skin...

So, even if you are a child, you can finish it smoothly.Skin BeautificationI am doing it.

 

Let's take a look at the difference in the photos

↓From the unedited photo. (I am the model.)

When bowing, you inevitably lean forward slightly, which makes your nasolabial folds very noticeable.

And there are multiple lines under the eyes. (When you lean forward, even a small hollow becomes a shadow and becomes more noticeable.)

If you look closer, you can see the imperfections in your skin texture more clearly.

↓Here it is after editing.

Since the face is quite smiling, erasing all the nasolabial folds would look unnatural, so I have lightened the shadows.

The bags under the eyes are smoothed out and the skin looks firmer.

By smoothing out any imperfections in the texture of the skin's surface, it gives a more refined look.

For geisha, the wig is fully fitted and the net on the forehead is slightly modified.

 

The next photo is from the garden.

Unlike a studio, gardens are photographed using natural light, which makes it easier to create shadows and capture atmospheric photos.

There's no denying that skin imperfections are more likely to be a concern.

The model is me again, and even though I'm not smiling that much, my nasolabial folds are really noticeable...

The dark circles under the eyes are more visible in the garden.

 

↓Click here after correction

The smile wasn't too excessive and the expression was gentle, so the wrinkles were erased.

Covering the hollows under your eyes will make you look younger.

It erases the shadows around the mouth, but leaves the natural shadows on the face intact, leaving the skin smooth and concealing the imperfections in the skin texture.

I try to be careful not to make my face look too flat.

 

Next, we will show you a part of your face.

This is the level of correction when wrinkles are more clearly visible.

It became smooth.

The wrinkles under the eyes and the wrinkles that extend diagonally downward from the corners of the mouth (known as marionette lines), which are particularly noticeable signs of aging, have been smoothly corrected.

The face was smiling at this time, so I left the nasolabial folds slightly as it would have looked unnatural if I had erased them too much.

There's a little bit cut off, but the mouth was open, so I fixed it and closed it.

 

This is just one example,Skin BeautificationSo it's not a simple matter of erasing everything that bothers you.

As the kanji for "arrange" is included, each photograph is carefully retouched to create a more beautiful finish.

 

In particular, since I also wear makeup, I am concerned about even the finer details, so I retouch my images while sharpening my sense of what I consider to be "beauty."

Skin BeautificationThere are pros and cons about this, but the nursery school wanted to take beautifully arranged photos to commemorate the occasion.
