first u should watch the movie memoirs of a geisha, that can help you with ideas.





your hair should be put up in a bun of some sort, maybe some curls, get a dangly flower pin to put in it





your face will be white, you can buy white face ';paint'; at almost any sotre, try party city.





make your lips red but mostly red in the middle





for the kimono make it patterned and silky looking, long sleaves and wraped tight around the waist, mabe get a little book bag pack for your back, and a tiny umbrella for added effectIm going to be a Geisha for halloween.... any advice?
The make-up is kind of instense if you're planning on doing it like an actual geisha. My boyfriend's sister models as one often and the make-up is more like paint. Extremely white cover up, if not white face paint, and red lips with black eyeliner. Here's a pic:

If you don't want to do the whole thing, skip the white facepaint and do extremely red lips and black eyeliner.





For hair, do a bun that you can just barely see peak above your head when you look in a mirror. In there, add some decorated chopsticks or lilies into the bun. Make sure the hair near the face line is extremely smooth and the bun tight.
Good Luck thats a hard look to pull off. But Im sure youll be beautiful!
Well, I've never done it before, but I can give you some advice.





Japanese hair is very very straight, and black, so you might want to get a wig for this costume. However, if not, here are some hairstyles you can try depending on what type of geisha you'd like to be:





This is a link relating to different Maiko (apprentice geisha) hairstyles depending on how high you have trained as a geisha - http://www.immortalgeisha.com/hairstyles鈥?/a>





The most popular hairstyle you see in geisha costumes is high up with a ';bun'; in the back.





As for makeup, it is also different depending on your status. However, most use very very pale, nearly white painted face, with very subtle blush, eyes lined in red and black, and bright red lips - http://www.immortalgeisha.com/images/hp_鈥?/a>





The best way to learn how to do hair, makeup or a costume is to research the real thing.
