After seeing the pics of Lady Gaga’s geisha-inspired lips, I decided to create my very own geisha-inspired look. But unlike the traditional geisha with chalk-white skin, eyes and brows drenched in red and carefully sculpted lips, I wanted to add in a modern twist to make it more wearable. I left the skin bare with just a bit of concealer, swapped out the red for fuchsia and dabbed instead of painted the color on.
What I Used
* Cle de Peau Concealer in Ocher under the eyes and around the nose
* Anastasia Highlighting Eyebrow Kit to fill in eyebrows
* Make Up For Ever Flash Color in Fuchsia on the entire eyelid blended up to the brow bone
* Kryolan Glamour Sparks in Aqua lightly dabbed onto the eyelid
* Make Up For Ever Flash Color in Black to line the top and bottom
* L’oreal Telescopic Mascara in Black on top and bottom lashes
* Make Up For Ever Flash Color in Fuchsia and Red dabbed on the center of the lips with Cle de Peau Concealer in Ocher on the sides

it’s interesting.. but i’m not too fond of it. looks kinda weird lol modernizing the whole geisha look is hard.

The geisha look is so sophisticated…and I like your modern take on it.

i agree with amy that it is hard to do the geisha look and i think you did a great job. it’s different in a cool kind of way.

I love your geisha execution! I’ll definitely copy this!

Your look is more Chinese Opera than Geisha IMO.

Ooh, I love the pink color!
The look reminds me of the banner of your blog

Just found your blog. You have amazing makeup skills, sweetie! So inspiring! I wish my eyeshadow blending technique was half as good as yours. =(

i think if you only did the top line with the eyeliner and made the wing more blunt, the look would be a little more tamed whilst still maintaining a quirky edge.
