Geisha
Introduction

 This originates from Japan.

 Evolved in 19th century.
 By the 1830s, the evolving geisha style was
emulated by fashionable women throughout
society in Japan.
 There were many different classifications and
ranks of geisha.
 Some women would have sex with their male
customers, whereas others would entertain strictly
with their art forms.
introduction

 World war II brought a huge decline in the

geisha arts because most women had to go to
factories or other places to work for Japan.
 After Japan lost the war, geisha dispersed and
the profession was in shambles. When they
regrouped during the Occupation and began
to flourish in the 1960s during Japan's post-
war economic boom, the geisha world
changed.
Makeup

 the traditional makeup of the apprentice geisha

is one of their most recognizable
characteristics, though established geisha
generally only wear full white face makeup
characteristic of maiko(apprentice geisha)
during special performances.
 The traditional makeup of an apprentice geisha
features a thick white base with red lipstick and
red and black accents around the eyes and
eyebrows.

 The application of makeup is hard to perfect

and is a time-consuming process. Makeup is
applied before dressing to avoid dirtying the
kimono.
 The lips are filled in using a small brush. The
colour comes in a small stick, which is melted
in water. Crystallized sugar is then added to
give the lips lustre.
hairstyle

 traditional shimada hairstyle, a type of traditional

chignon worn by most established geisha.
 4 types of shimada hairstyle- taka ,tsubushi,
uiwata, momoware.
 These hairstyles are decorated with elaborate
hair-combs and hairpins (kanzashi).
 Many modern geisha use wigs in their
professional lives, while maiko use their natural
hair.

Retro

 It is a recycled fashion style.

 reflects the image of life style and look of an
era .
 Generally retro style is the style of the 50s,
60s or 70s.
 For the last 20 years, fashion has reviewed
the times of past, decade by decade, and
what we are seeing now is a combination of
different eras into one complete look.
Makeup

 A peaches and cream complexion was the basis

of any Fifties makeup look. Applied as either a
liquid or as pressed powder, the foundation
needed to reflect the soft femininity of the day.
 Eyebrows were usually narrowed. Blush and eye
shadow were minimal and thus, natural looking.
Today this makeup style would be refered to as a
California look.

 Women could get away with a more dramatic
look, particularly for evening.
 Eyeliner was liquid, making a sharp, highly
defined contour. It was used primarily on the
upper lid.
 Pastels were the favoured colours for day,
especially for a younger woman. Women could
wear red by day and it was the most popular
choice for evening. Lips were coloured lush and
full.

Hairstyles
 Fifties hairstyles were soft and curly. Straight
hair was out. Short hair was in.
 Young women often tied their hair back in a
ponytail and circled it with a pretty chiffon
scarf. But this would have been for casual
activities and rarely for evening.
 The Fifties look was usually achieved by an
arduous process of pin curling and rolling.
 they kept pinned hair and sometimes
sprayed it to keep the set.

The poodle frenzy of the Fifties gave birth to a

hairstyle - namely, the poodle cut.
