What's the difference between the makeup of women in Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty? Which is more acceptable?

Peach blossom makeup was especially popular among women in the Tang Dynasty. Peach blossom makeup is painted on a woman's cheeks, eyes and mouth with pink pigments. First draw your eyes with red eye shadow, and then apply red blush on your cheeks. First, paint the lips white with white powder, then draw two peach blossom shapes up and down in the middle of the lips, and finally point a peach blossom shape pattern on the eyebrows on the forehead.

This kind of peach blossom makeup was very popular in the Tang Dynasty at that time, especially the ladies in the Tang Dynasty liked to paint this kind of makeup, so many folk ladies followed suit. From the paintings handed down from the Tang Dynasty, we can see what makeup was popular at that time. Therefore, the makeup of the Tang Dynasty generally tends to be gorgeous, which is also related to the economy of the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty was still a very rich era in the history of our country.

After the Song Dynasty, women's makeup was much more restrained. This may be related to the aesthetics and economy of the Song Dynasty. Song dynasty didn't like gorgeous makeup, but preferred exquisite and simple aesthetics. For example, tea, ceramics, calligraphy and painting in the Song Dynasty can all reflect the aesthetic taste of people in the Song Dynasty.

They think that beauty is a melon seed with eyebrows and almond eyes, and a little cherry mouth. They think that a knowledgeable woman will be more attractive, so there are many female poets in the Song Dynasty. The makeup of women in the Song Dynasty was relatively elegant and compact, and men in the Song Dynasty also thought that such girls would be more beautiful.

In a word, women's makeup in the Tang Dynasty highlighted women's splendor and luxury, but in the Song Dynasty, it tended to be elegant and beautiful. According to the present aesthetics, it is more acceptable to accept the makeup of the Song Dynasty, because modern women also pay more attention to natural beauty and have very consistent views. Modern makeup is to make your facial features look more stereoscopic and natural, because this makeup is suitable for the daily life of urbanites now.
