Gingko the Tokyo Geisha Applying Makeup, Vogue

Headshot of Gingko, a geisha from Tokyo, Japan, photographed in front of a grey studio backdrop as she applies the traditional makeup of her profession. She is wearing a white robe, and a blue headband keeps her hair pulled back. Here, she takes a small brush to apply a thick black liquid line on her upper lid, using a small hand mirror to get the detail right. The camera shoots over her shoulder to see her reflection in the mirror.
