Young Geishas (known as Maiko) will completely cover their faces in a heavy, white makeup. The lips will be heavily rouged to offset the pale face and create a striking look. The hairstyle is also unique. It is drawn back away from the face in a bun shape.
A Geisha will wear a kimono. The kimono can be as fine, elegant, elaborate and even plan depending on the occasion or even the individual Geisha. On her waist the Geisha will tie an Obi.
