Photoshop

Out of the top 12 i narrowed it down again, to help me decide i photoshopped the images to a standard where they would be able to print.

Backshots.

Throughout the photoshoot i had to keep rearranging the garment and making it look its best, the maske up artist also had to keep re applying the make up as it was oil based so came off with the heat of the room.

Top 12 images

Out of all the phtographs taken, i've narrowed it down to 12.

Geisha Photoshoot

I decided it would be best to get a make up artist do my models make up.

The slight difference in this make up to the photographed make up i wanted is the eyes arent as dark.

Back of the hair, we used orchid hair grips.

Geisha make up practice

 

Primary idea for contemporary Geisha makeup.

My first attempt at the make up i realised the face paint looks really powdery and her cheeks arent a dark enough pink.

To make her cheeks darker i used a lipstick instead of a blusher. I think that this is too dark and too messy. After attempting to do the make up myself, i decided that i would only get the best make up in the photoshoot if i had a make up artist do it for me.
