I would do a lot more study on the actual art of a geiko's make-up, especially a lot more study away from Arthur Golden's Memoirs of a Geisha. I would suggest the book and movie about Mineko Iwasaki. The make up looks a bit too western and the chopsticks are a bit much...
I suppose one could say this is Maiko/Geisha inspired, but lightyears away from the real thing, much too "westernized" in many ways (eyebrows, gah!). Actually I'm sure it would be possible for pretty much anyone to get close to the authentic look, but it takes effort, practice and observation on how it really looks. And the make up alone looks just silly in public if wearing any western clothes, casual or festive. The make up and kimono go together. But it was fun to watch anyway =)
i put cake makeup *which is used for a white clown face) you can find it in a specialty store like party city, and definitely around Halloween time for about 2$
you can, If you are going for authentic, use a cream based white oil based makeup that they sell on line. You then cover it with white powder. It looks and holds better, but that just if you are really into the look and you want to spend the money...
Bummer about the bad vibe comments! Hey thanks for posting this, shows a amatuer like me that maybe i could have a go and totally out of respect! I think Geishas are beautiful!!
You do know that geishas did not go over the entire eyebrow.Their lips are red not pink and they did not put make-up on the entire eyelid only on the top corners.
I think that was a funny video! I had a smile on my face! :-D
And to all these "smartass" people on your page: How the hell ya'll know how the life of a real Geisha is? I takes one to know one, so ya'll SHUT THE HELL UP!!!
Not the girl in the video is annoying, but your stupidity and intolerance is! Get over it!!!
I thought they put the second part of "Becoming geisha" abour REAL Maico from North of Japan. Sorry, I don'w want to say anything bad but you have to change the title.
So what if this isn't the way the real Geisha apply their make up? This girl obviously the process of putting on such amazing make up and felt like having some fun of her own. What's the harm in the that? She isn't trying to offend anyone and hasn't said or done anything to make anyone be offended. Just for fun people. Take a chill pill and stop being so miserable. What's wrong in a girl admiring the arts of a Geisha? She may now have done it properly but, at least she has repect.
look you can't half-it. by that i mean you can't just put on pale make up and try to call it geisha, thats like a slap in the face to this art. i'm not even asian and im offended. you had a wide face to do it, too.
plsss make that kind of makeup i would love to see it not in a fast mode but in a normal mode i want to see you putting white makeup vary white and black lipstick plsss grant it

Lip colors are traditionally drawn much smaller than your lips, about half as small.

absolutely STUNNING. but a critique, you should only fill in half the lip with lipstick, thats how the geishas dis it.
