Maiko or Geisha Painting Face: part 1 - The Neck

This is a fuller (three times the length), higher-quality, version of a film put up two years ago.

The film was made in April 1999 in Kyoto by Windfall Films. Please see www.alanmacfarlane.com under 'Global History' for details and other films. The camera man was Robin Probyn

The book JAPAN THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS by Alan Macfarlane explores the mysterious context to this film. It can be found at http://tinyurl.com/5ocjfp

it would be nice to see an explanation of what products she is using, or what stuff she is putting on before she puts the white stuff on :) great tut otherwise.

For everyone asking or commenting:

1. This is not a tutorial. This is from a film as it says in the description. You are watching an actual Maiko putting on her makeup.

2. These "products" are made in Japan. They're used for geisha and maiko. Therefore, they're the most traditional products Japan makes solely for these women. If you really want to buy the makeup, it costs about 300 dollars at the least.
