I'll believe that when I see it. What are the scary makeup in the history of Japanese beauty?

The history of Japanese makeup can be traced back to heian period. At that time, Japan sent a large number of Tang Dynasty envoys to study in China, and the makeup technology of the Tang Dynasty also spread to Japan. After it spread to Japan, it aroused the imitation of Japanese women. It became a trend for a while. ?

At first, women in ancient Japan made up: dyed their teeth black, smeared with white powder and shaved off their eyebrows. A pale face, bare eyebrows, scarlet cherry mouth opened, revealing black and bright black teeth. This is not a midnight witch, but an ancient Japanese beauty.

Japan is an isolated country at sea, which closed its doors in ancient times. So that foreigners know almost nothing about Japanese folk customs. Therefore, when Japan was opened by the American "black ship" at the end of the Edo shogunate, it was fortunate to set foot on Nagasaki and Edo for the first time. When Europeans and Americans see a Japanese woman "hiding in the boudoir", it is inevitable that she will be novel to the extreme.

Europeans and Americans have a good impression of plain-looking Japanese girls. Japanese girls in the street have gentle eyes, elegant manners, fair skin and petite figure.

Japanese women have moist and fair skin, thick black hair, melancholy eyes and vivid faces. Everyone is a beauty. However, once you have seen Japanese adult women make up, foreigners will be in a mess.

In ancient Japan, Blackpool was considered a beauty. You know, women at that time used special pigments to dye their teeth at bar mitzvah and wedding. This is not only a display of female beauty, but also a symbol of aristocratic status. As early as heian period, there was a custom of flirting among nobles. "Pillow Grass", "Purple Diary" and other books all record: "On the dress (women's coming-of-age ceremony) and celebration day, the ladies dyed their black teeth and put on red makeup."
