All I can think of is white face acheived by either powder or cream and then drawn in eyebrows with a dark brown/black pencil(thin and arc like), thick black eye liner, red lips but not filled in completely (pretty much make the shape of a pair of lips inside your own to make it round and pouty and only fill that in with red, the rest of your lips should be white). Other then that you could try to put some hot pink eyeshadow just above the black eyeliner with a little blush. Its a pretty minimal look nothing garish... If you're not Asian, then taping your eyes (temple to hairline) creates the same effect haha.
Hope that helped... sorry I can't describe it better. You can always check out yahoo/google. Memoirs of a Geisha is coming out in December so I know there are lots of production pictures floating around on the internet right now. Just make sure to look at the pictures of the white faces, cause that would be when they're in their full geisha regale.
