Makeup Practice 5/25

We had an opportunity to practice doing our geiko and maiko style makeup that we do for our henshin performances. It was a chance for some of us to brush up on our skills, and our newest member did her own makeup for the first time.

Green Ro Kakeshita

I'm so excited that I won this green ro (yes, RO) kakeshita today on YJA! It's a little bolder and brighter than what I usually use for my maiko henshin, but because it was a summer fabric, there's no way I could let that one go.

I just hope it will be here before the next event so the girls won't die of heat stroke!!!

One of our guests kindly let me use his photos from a few of our panels at MTAC 2014. Here are some from our makeup and kitsuke panel as well as the ozashiki (sadly, none from the tea ceremony).
