Memoirs Of A Western Geisha

Location: Sale, Manchester

As a follow up from my previous post: 'The Making Of A Geisha', these are the final edits. Layers of silky reds and pinks, printed orchids, strong red lips and to prevent any naughty tanning, my new best friend, the purple parasol. I've listed the make-up products used above so you can get the L̶o̶n̶d̶o̶n̶ Geisha look. Apologies in advance if you can see my real skin colour appear around my hairline. Ha, I wonder if they cut out the Geisha's forehead from the front book cover of Memoirs Of A Geisha for the same reason?!

Geisha's are known for their red lips and white skin...quiet, passive and demure, yet sensual and seductive, I didn't have to go to Kaburenjo school to train but in it's place, I was painted for four hours and consumed a lot of caffeine to prepare for Geisha glory.
