A Geisha Inspired look

Geisha (芸者^?), Geiko (芸子) or Geigi (芸妓) are traditional, female Japaneseentertainers whose skills include performing various Japanese arts such as classical music and dance.

Geisha ( /ˈɡeɪʃə/; Japanese: [ɡeːʃa]),^[1] like all Japanese nouns, has no distinct singular or plural variants. The word consists of two kanji, 芸 (gei) meaning "art" and 者 (sha) meaning "person" or "doer". The most literal translation of geisha into English would be "artist," "performing artist," or "artisan." Another name for geisha in is geiko (芸子), which is usually used to refer to geisha from western Japan, which includes Kyoto.

Apprentice geisha are called maiko (舞子 or 舞妓), literally "dance child") or hangyoku (半玉), "half-jewel" (meaning that they are paid half of the wage of a full geisha),^[2] or by the more generic term o-shaku (御酌), literally "one who pours (alcohol)". The white make-up and elaborate kimono and hair of a maiko is the popular image held of geisha. A woman entering the geisha community does not have to begin as a maiko, having the opportunity to begin her career as a full geisha. Either way, however, usually a year's training is involved before debuting either as a maiko or as a geisha. A woman above 21 is considered too old to be a maiko and becomes a full geisha upon her initiation into the geisha community. However, those who do go through the maiko stage can enjoy more prestige later in their professional lives.

A goddess inspired shoot

This was the envisioned goddess inspired shoot that turns out to be more of a pre-nup shoot. Anyways, beauty is in the eye of the beholder in the same manner perceiving is with the beholder's interpretation.

It has been a while since we did a photoshoot, and i must say that this photoshoot is the best of all, why? because i felt that i grew better as a make up artist and in the same way i see these photos, the Photographers have also enhanced their photography skills. Also, this time, we asked for a collaboration with Queenies Boutique (Address: Along Calumpang National High Way, beside Jollibee Calumpang) and we're just fortunate enough to have been lend some of their dazzling creations. Special thanks to a rising designer, Dave Mark Forones.

Like always, I will do some sort of demo for this look

For the hair:

It will be easier to create that classy and elegant look if the hair is already curled for those who have straight hair. For those who have curly hair, the literally kinky hair, i suggest that you straight-iron it first and create a wavy but not too curly hair. After doing so, you will need a beaded headband, put it half-way through on the head and create a bulgy look by pushing some hair forward. and one-by-one you pin the hair at the back and making sure that all of it are pinned.

For Make-up:

I mixed my Revlon and MaC liquid foundation to achieve that glowing skin and for some extra glow a applied Ever Billena's compact foundation.  For the brows, try creating a thicker brow for that fierce look, go a lil bit higher in applying pencil brow liner (preferably brown). for the eyes, i put on a thick false-lashes and lined a thick line on top of it for a cleaner look. Afterwards, i applied a black shadow and below it is the white shadow to create an illusion. Line the nose to create that bone structure up there throw a pink blush on the cheek for younger look and just go for neutral colors for the lips and you should be camera ready.
