Makeup of Japanese maiko – apprentice geisha.
There are certain rules for maiko when applying makeup. A maiko’s makeup needs to be cute. Drawing a straight line for your eyebrows isn’t cute. It needs to be round, like a crescent moon. You need to draw your lips small, or get creative by blending in pink makeup.
