?Welcome class to Meganomics 101. Today, I’m going to be giving you makeup vice on a step by step Geisha makeup. So let’s get started because class is in session. Right now I’m going to be taking my airbrush makeup. You can use pancake makeup. You can use watercolors, just white, white, white, white. So I’m not going over the entire face. I’m keeping it like a mask. White can be difficult to work with because sometimes the consistency will be thinner and in some areas you can see the skin and in other areas, so be mindful of every part that it’s thick throughout the entire face. Okay next is the red and I’m just going to place it over her eyes and parts of her cheek. And this is the simplest of the simple Geisha makeups and I’m just keeping it in a controlled area and I’m going all the way up to the edge of the white and I’m stopping right here and kind of just blending the edges just a little bit and once you’ve got the red finished, you can move on to the black. This is just one way of doing a Geisha makeup. You can keep the red only on the cheeks, you could keep the red on the side of the face, however you prefer. So what I want to do is the eyebrows and I’m just going to take a swoop of black, I just need to get her eyebrows saturated and I’m going to go straight up. So we have our black for her eyes, open your eyes, cool Geisha lady. I’m going to go underneath with a black pencil and it’s okay that she’s got a little bit of the black, you can just go right back in. Okay now we’re going to move onto the lip and mostly we want to focus just on the Cupid’s bow. For me I would leave that because I just think it’s cool, it’s so avant garde, I’m so artsy but for the rest of y’all who like to see a more traditional lip, I’m not going to do the full lip, almost like a heart or a line and it’s mixing with the white which is okay because we can just keep going back into our red. And that’s how we do a Geisha makeup. Class dismissed.
