If you’re not familiar with the term “geisha”, the article gives readers a refresher course on the history:
Becoming a geisha means that you are willing to put in the hours it takes to learn this complex skincare and cosmetics ritual, and the authenticity of the look is dependant upon the skin's appearance. Many people have the misconception that geisha is a euphemism for escorts or prostitution, but in actuality geisha are hired to keep mostly foreign businessmen company, and to occasionally dance or play instruments at a get-together to help preserve traditional culture and atmosphere for tourists. The entire setting that geisha provides revolves around their gorgeous skin and makeup artistry.
While a geisha’s makeup may not be commonplace in America, the routine has lasted for many years:
The beginning of the geisha look starts with a waxy white foundation, which is actually more of a paste than a traditional makeup. This is applied all over the face and the front of the neck. Traditionally, spots of the skin are purposely avoided during application so that the white makeup forms the look of a mask.
Although this part of Japanese history is very precious to the culture, it is beginning to become a rare art form:
When you walk through the streets of Japan, most of the women that you will see wear their hair and makeup extremely similar to us Westerners. However, there is a fair amount of the Japanese female population who work as geisha. Being employed as a geisha demands an elaborate daily application of makeup that you will not find anywhere else in the world, and even in Japan it is becoming a dying art.
According to skin care expert, Samantha Peterman, it was time to step outside the box. “There have been so many articles about makeup and beauty trends in America and I thought it was time for something different. Something cultural.” http://www.skincare-news.com/articles.php?ArtID=248
