Note that it must be used with Kabuki Abura wax (sold separately) to create the base for this makeup to go on properly. It is diluted in water and painted on with a broad brush.

The two sizes available  are:

Kabuki Oshiro: 150g, paste

Kabuki Oshiro: 250g, paste

To used this item, take a small piece of the Kabuki Abura wax and melt it by rubbing it between your hands and spreading it all over your face. Next, dilute the white paste with water in a dish and spread on with a broad brush, finishing by smoothing it out evenly with with a damp sponge.

Normally ‘Kona Oshiroi’ Face Powder is then used over over this and is recommended for authenticity and you may wish to use ‘Taihaku’ or ‘Ishineri’ wax to flatten out your real eyebrows prior to applying this.
