  • 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 =)

  • True true, thank you :)

  • What product are you putting on your face that gives you the whiteness?

  • 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$

  • 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.

  • thank you lol! i love the art of the Geisha and you are right, i am not trying to offend, just trying to admire.

  • Not like a Geisha...

  • um...i think that you have to go over your eyebrows in white as well

  • 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...

  • this is the soundtrack to memerys of a gaisha love that movie !

  • ur cute

  • Good makeup and a great choice in music for the video. It looks like a Maiko`s Makeup:)

  • 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...

  • Thanks so much.
