Keywords:
Makeup, theatrical makeup, Qajar women, Pahlavi makeupAbstract
The interest in beauty and showing off oneself is common among people around the world, not only today but also for many years. It is enough to take a look at the religious and traditional ceremonies of early humans in caves; we will see how they displayed a special kind of self-expression by painting their bodies. With the passage of time and the changing customs, traditions, and cultures in different societies, makeup and grooming also appeared in different forms. In Iranian culture, which is also ruled by a religion called Shia, adherence to religious principles was of particular importance. There is a significant difference in the way women appear in Iranian culture in previous periods to the present. Makeup has become very different from what we see in previous periods and is not comparable (it has even entered the art of theater, cinema, and television). The meaning of appearing cleaner and being seen more beautiful has merged and taken on a new color and flavor. One of the factors that is considered important in this research is the study of makeup and make-up from the last decades of the Qajar dynasty to the present day. How women in Iranian culture wore makeup, as well as the differences and similarities between makeup in the past and today, will be examined and analyzed by considering the factors related to it.
