The makeup of ancient Japanese women was to shave their eyebrows and dye their teeth black. Why are they so different from now?

Because Japan was relatively closed, it had no contact with many other countries, and its aesthetics were relatively traditional. The Japanese only came into contact with the people of the Tang Dynasty in China in the early years. At that time, people in the Tang Dynasty were more popular to trim their eyebrows into thin ones, so the Japanese imitated the makeup of people in the Tang Dynasty. And on the basis of this makeup, China's traditional culture was added, so the unique makeup of ancient Japanese women who shaved their eyebrows in Hei Chi was born.

Mainly this kind of makeup conforms to Japanese traditional culture. The aesthetics of ancient Japan is completely inconsistent with that of modern Japan. At that time, the Japanese aesthetic was very maverick, pursuing an aesthetic that looked very different from that of normal people. Because men in ancient Japan also wanted to make up, their makeup was more delicate, their lips were ruddy and straight, and their eyebrows were thicker, so women wanted to distinguish themselves from men, so they designed a makeup similar to trimming eyebrows and dyeing black teeth for women.

In traditional Japanese culture, women's status is very low, so women make up just to please men. Because men in ancient Japan also had to wear makeup, women's makeup should be distinguished from men's. Men's teeth are whiter, the better, while women are the opposite. They maintain their teeth with iron filings and white vinegar, making them darker and darker.

Now Japan is an international country, and its aesthetics are approaching internationalization. Now the world's aesthetics tend to be consistent, that is, the pursuit of natural beauty, so the Japanese no longer do some strange things for beauty. Although women still have to make up, their makeup is light and they pursue natural beauty.
