What is the meaning of geisha make up?
The appearance of Geisha make-up can vary depending on the age of the lady wearing it, and the occasion. The 'prongs' seen at the back of the neck can foretell the status of the event in which they are attending that evening. If there are two prongs, it is a normal event. If there are three, it is a formal event. The shape of the lips, how much is painted, whether it is the top, the bottom, or both lips can tell how old the Hangyoku, Maiko, or Geisha is, where she is from, and how far along in her training she is. Younger Maiko will often also have pink 'blush' painted along the sides of their faces and cheeks, when full Geisha will not.
