In order to achieve a more authentic looking geisha makeup, be sure to paint the face, chest and neck white leaving just the nape of the neck a natural tone - usually in the shape of a "W" don't forget to paint over your eyes, eyebrows and lips as well!
The eye make up should be red as should the lipstick.
Since you painted over your eyebrows you will now draw them in. Try to place them with your natural eyebrows, but make them a thicker as this was seen as making a girl appear younger.
When you paint your lips make the upper lip smaller than your true lip line and make the bottom full.
Also make note that characteristically most people imagine a Maiko (apprentice geisha) when they picture a geisha in their minds. A fully trained and older (adult) geisha will not wear all this makeup.
