Chang'an, city of fashion

Make-up

Look at this wooden figurine unearthed in a Tang tomb more than one thousand years ago! The passage of time never tarnished its original luster.

She has a powdered face, rouged cheeks and lips, bold and thick eyebrows, and gaudy ornaments between her eyebrows and at her temples.

The colorful and audacious make-up this figurine wears provides a glimpse of Tang women’s cosmetic fashion.
