Absolutely wonderful. ^^ Yasuko from Hannari-ya actually recommended your video to me through an email. Great job and thank you very much for posting. I love your little trick to make your eyes look more like an almond shape. It really works too. :) Ookini arigatou san dosu.
Wow this is a fantastic video! You did an amazing job and you look fantastic with the wig! Have you attempted the W pattern on the back of the neck or are you still practicing that? The Maiko make it look easy!!! lol :-)
@kakumee Hey :) Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed the video. No I live in Paris but i have invested a lot of time and money to gather all the accurate elements. I still have a few things to find though :p
@Sotkai11 Hey :) Thanks for the reminder, and i was expecting such a comment along the way.
It is called "Eri ashi", just so you know :)
I purposely did not include that part since I usually get help for it : I am not flexible enough to do it right using the 2 mirror method.
I am sure all the true maiko lovers know it has to be part of the makeup ! This tutorial is for the face make up since that is what people will look at ;)
You are so beautiful and convincing! I still look like a scary clown when I do mine and I STILL haven't managed to get the eyes down yet w/o looking all. . . .muddy. Very helpful. Wonderful video! What was the ratio of water/oshiroi paste that you used?
@TheCasualWarrior Thank you so much for your kind words! About the water / oshiroi ratio, it is hard to say since I follow my instinct every time, But I'd say make it a little thicker than milk but not too pasty otherwise it will crack anywhere you have expression lines!
Awesome work... i'll be doing a shoot and this'll help the make up artist doing my face... i can show her how it's done... or i could just do it myself lol...
@chipie2485 i must admit i did stalk you via Immortal Geisha lol... when it get's closer to the date (of the shoot) i may bombard you with questions >_>

Very nice presentation. But you forgot the special two-leg design on the back of the neck if you want the genuine Kyoto Maiko look!
