Makeup Culture Gallery "The Aesthetics of the Beginning: The First Makeup of the 3rd Period"

In the first year of the opening of the Makeup Culture Gallery, we are introducing makeup culture from three themes with the keyword "beginning". Following the first term "The Beginning of Makeup Culture Research" and the second term "The Beginning of Makeup," the third term will focus on the theme of "first makeup."
In traditional society, there was a "first makeup" when there was a major change in life stage, such as adulthood, marriage, and childbirth. Among other rites of passage, Art focuses on the shaven eyebrows and beard, the makeup that symbolizes married women. As it is said that "eyebrows are the frame of the face", it is an important part that greatly affects the impression of the face. There must have been some anxiety and hesitation about shaving off your eyebrows. In addition, some women may have felt lonely at the fact that they could not tie their daughter's hairstyle, even though they were expecting to get married. While focusing on makeup as a rite of passage, we will read about the social meaning of makeup and the wavering feelings about the "first makeup" that will come to life.
In "Books", we will introduce books under six themes, expanding associations from "turning points".
Looking back, that was the turning point. There are times in life when dramatic changes are required. Anxiety, resistance, longing, and the elation that comes with stepping up... Why don't you think about it at a turning point?
