What are the characteristics of Japanese Geisha makeup?

In Japanese Geisha makeup, the base is very white, without any highlighting or shading. Eyeliner does not need to be emphasized, but it must be there. A detailed eyeliner in a strong color emphasizes the eye contour and strengthens the eyes.

It will also make the pupils look dark and deep. Eyebrows control the contour of the face and the eyes, and the righteous eyebrow shape is both eye-catching and not rigid, and it is easy to get a strong color black eyebrow by choosing an eyebrow powder when outlining.
